      @@VargVinter I know it originated there, I LOVE melodeath, Character by Dark Tranquility is one of my favorite albums and In Flames are my favorite band of all time, their 90s output is legendary. The torch was passed on to early-mid 00s metalcore and that's what I grew up with so although melodeath pioneered it, when I was a young'un, I heard it first in Killswitch Engage and the like, and I want more of it! We're getting a Melodeath Resurgence as we speak so I don't need to wish for that!

      @@GATHUGHDxD Nah, melodeath came first, and was more inspired by Iron Maiden-style traditional heavy metal. This 2000s style metalcore was in turned super heavily inspired by melodeath's style of riffing, especially Slaughter of the Soul. It's just mixed with more groove, breakdowns, and somewhat more hardcore style drumming

    As an old school metalcore fan, I strongly approve of this. Your attack and tightness are top tier and really bring power to the riffs. It somehow sounded original even though you were spoofing the tropes that we all love and grew up with. Killswitch and As I Die Laying would be proud \m/
