@AltonBrown: @Three0neFive:   Metalcore is a fusion genre combining elements of heavy metal and hardcore punk, the name of it is a portmanteau of the names of the two genres. The term took on its current meaning in the mid-1990s, describing bands such as Earth CrisisDeadguy and Integrity. The earliest of these groups, Integrity, began performing in 1988, some modern practioners of the genre include Darkest Hour, As I Lay Dying, Still Remains, and August Burns Red. Metalcore is distinguished from other punk metal fusions by its emphasis on breakdowns: slower, intense passages conducive to moshing. The genre has had a saturation of bands in the last five years.

Isn't metalcore basically the emo version of metal?  Those bands just seem terrible to me.

Metalcore = people who wanted to make real metal but didn't have the balls. It's not really any different than typical hardcore screamo.

No they aren't. They're garbage.
 
This is melodic death metal:
 
 

  
 
 
  
   
  
Of course who can forget one of the forefathers of Finnish Melodic death metal.
 

  
And my personal favourite (Their genre is debatable but this song has many melodeath elements)

Yep.  The vocalists can't do anything.  They  can't sing, growl or do the gravelly higher vocals that black metal bands like Emperor or most melodeath/ folk metal bands do.

No.  People who like a neutered version of metal suitable for MTV (Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium and all that garbage) like metalcore.  Most people who listen to actual melodic death metal would get bored by that stuff because of its simplicity,  and that it's abysmal.  It's a real shame what the kiddies these days pass off as real metal.  I've somehow listened to metal of various types (Starting out with thrash like Exodus, Testament and the like) since grade six and have managed to avoid all the mainstream drivel that's been pushed in the last few years.
 
Since I've posted it in every other metal thread I might as well post it in this one.  Bask in the glory that is Trym Torson's snare arm.  That majestic blast beat starts about 30 seconds in:

Are you kidding?  Children of Bodom was incredibly important in the shaping of modern melodic death metal.  Norther was part of the same scene.  What do I have to post At the Gates or something earlier?

1st: Metalcore
2nd: Metalcore
3rd: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA are you kidding?  They are the antithesis of melodic death metal.  Melodic death metal often incorporates symphonic elements and neoclassical style solos with a few more traditional death metal elements like style of drumming.  Cannabal Corpse has neither. Plus you should have posted Hammer Smashed Face.
4th: Metalcore (And REALLY bad at that)
5th: Obvious metalcore.  The guitar and vocal  style give it away.

If you've ever heard anything after Hatebreeder they make the melodies even more obvious. Listen to "Needled 24/7" and right after it gets going you hear an obvious guitar/keyboard duet of what will turn into a thematic melody for the entire song.  (That song has really fun synth parts.)

No, YOU ARE.  You clearly don't listen to enough actual metal outside of new mainstream bands to grasp a real knowledge of it.  I listen to almost every kind of metal available, from Adagio to Zyklon and everything in between.  I don`t just listen to it, I play it too.  Have fun with your fad music, it'll be gone in a year or so.

Celtic Frost is decent.  But seriously, BDM is horrible. Do your best to distance yourself from garbage like that.  You'll eventually realize it has no real depth or soul to it.
 
If you like Mayhem, check out Immortal and early Emperor (If you can learn to deal with the awesomeness that is metal keyboards for Emperor.  It's only atmospheric stuff in the background for early Emperor).  They're both the bee's knees.

I've already seen someone mention SikTh here, but I got to add, SikTh is freakin awesome! One of my all-time favorite bands. They combine extreme complex rythms and technical riffs and drum sequenses with great melodies which are based on mostly fat and heavy guitar chords. Both their albums are great, but I have to say I enjoy  The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out, Wait for Something Wild a bit more than Death of a Dead Day. And yes, its too fucking bad they broke up. I can't even imagine how heavy a third album would sound like. But I don't think SikTh can be classefied as metalcore. They have some similarities to metalcore, but I would rather say they play some sort of progressive metal.
 
Dillinger Escape Plan, that is a metalcore band. At least some of their older stuff. I personally love their album Miss Machine. Recommend checking that out if you havent already.

BDM is not metalcore. It's Deathcore, there is a difference because Deathcore is shit.
 
Anyways, my favourite is Lost in The Sound of Seperation by Underoath.

Inb4 lol mainstream. Underoath may be mainstream, but they're one of the few mainstream bands that are good. (Disregard all albums before Define The Great Line.)

Wow. This topic has gotten off topic; first the concept of metalcore album art, then melodic death metal videos, then the previous but black metal. I mean seriously? Sure, I don't have anything to contribute, but it's because I don't like metalcore (or melodic death metal. I especially hate black metal), and I can't load pictures up.

Oh lord, I don't get why people feel the need to argue over genres, it's just way too fucking stupid.
 
Enjoy your music as it is, don't shove it in someone else's face please.
