You can still get the feeling of the melodic songs with just a piece of it. But you need the full song to feel the expirience of the atmospheric.

[@steverobertson3980]

correct answer

[@smooches-the-deathmetal-bunny]

but i think the full atmospheric is better than the full melodic. honestly they are too different to be compared because they have different goals. both are great when done well!

[@timothymckane6362]

Both are equally good black metal sub genres.

I prefer atmospheric black metal myself, but that’s just my preference

As a devout fan of the melodic black metal scene, you’ve just about touched up on every essential album. If only we could have gotten Ancient God Of Evil by Unanimated and Tales From Eternal Dusk, the pantheon would of been complete. Regardless, you shred like you always have. Keep on ripping brother! 🤘

[@EvilSewnit]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@alexconnor3368]

Hey man, could you suggest some good melodic black metal bands that don't talk about Satan or devilish stuff? I'm trying to get into the subgenre, but I don't know how to start (I mostly listen to melodic /progressive Death metal)

[@overkilled653]

@@alexconnor3368 Of course. Overall, all of the melodic black metal albums featured by Suffocater in this video are essential as I have stated above. But for albums for beginners with less of a satanic theme or imagery are as follow: Vinterland’s sole release “Welcome My Last Chapter” is a solid gem for beginners, with a more clean production and somber tone to the sound. Recommended track: “As I Behold the Dying Sun” Next I would follow up with “Tales From Eternal Dusk” by Dark Fortress as I mentioned above. The album provides much more of the harsh black metal riff-craft than its other melodic black metal contemporaries. One that invokes much more of a fantasy setting than an apocalyptic one. Recommended track: “Twilight” And finally, “Vittra” by Naglfar harnesses the aggression of Dissection and intricacy of Unanimated to create the melodic majesty in question. Recommended track: “Through the Midnight Spheres” As I said before, all of the songs and albums featured in this video are quintessential and must-listen to. So give them all a try if you can.

Respect mate, I will do. I’m a 45 yr old metal head. Grew up worshiping early blackmetal. The Summoning & Abigor . Echoes of battle is better than any Summoning release in my opinion.
