To me, melodic metal means bands like Saracen and Messiah. A particular sound/style that's sometimes close to pomp rock but still very heavy metal.

While its very hard to define, when i think of 'melodic metal', i think of heavy metal with AOR/melodic rock/hard rock influences in songwriting i.e roughly more melody, less heavy than the average metal band. A good example for me is Mantas (Winds of change album)

Well personally I would be somewhat confused if people were referring to Scanner as melodic metal. Yeah they have a great sense of melody but what about the full-on speed metal side of them? I guess that everyone have their own definition of melodic metal. To me it's heavy metal that's focused on using melody as the base of songstructure and usually borders with AOR/Pomp rock/Hard rock. But then again melodic metal ain't a real genre and the word itself doesn't tell much so people will have their own ideas about it.MEXDefenderOfSteel wrote:sorry is so shocking for u what i see as good non gay sense of melody in metal

Some excellent songs in there. The balance between melody and heaviness on that album is near perfect!Sgt. Kuntz wrote:I just ordered that LP after listening to a song on YouTube.

If the definition of epic metal Warlord is one of the first bands came to your mind talking about melodic metal I'm an elephant. Scanner with raw speed of the first albums? Rage of late 80's????? The definition of speed metal "Secrets in a weird world"? Execution? Perfect Man? What about Messiah Force?? I quit...MEXDefenderOfSteel wrote:sorry is so shocking for u what i see as good non gay sense of melody in metalNebuchadnezzar wrote:MEXDefenderOfSteel wrote:first bands to come to my mind:
