Also, if you're going to recommend Ihsahn's solo work, it's definitely worth looking into Emperor's last album, too. Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire and Demise is a great proggy album. Focus was considered a great album, but as a band, they're not considered a "great"... They're barely even metal now...Traced in Air is more prog rock than metal. Still an amazing album, but I wouldn't give the band that much credit... I definitely hear prog in Katatonia. I seriously can't see how others don't. Maybe it's not pure prog in the purest sense of the word, but IMO it's a lot closer to prog than ALT ROCK. Are you serious? I've always considered them doom with prog influences. Maybe i've lost touch.  Either way they are a great band with great music so the recommendation still stands. | ||

As for being progressive...I guess they sound that way, but their songwriting is very simple. I don't know...I just don't feel it. But definitely, I really like Katatonia too. (: | ||

Random Japanese Visual Kei band I found called Versailles (Versailles -Symphonic Quintet- in the US). Once you get over their costumes and their sometimes obnoxiously long "orchestral" arrangements, their music is pretty good. Vocals are like the male vocals from Onmyouza (deep Japanese style). The music is symphonic power metal...sort of Kamelot-esque, but heavier and with dueling guitars. And before you ask about the cute blond guitarist...IT'S A TRAP. EDIT Added second video. | ||

I've always associated the term 'melodeath' with bands like In Flames, At The Gates, and all of those other Gothenburg bands who aren't really dm but still have influences. Melodic death was for bands like Kronos, Benighted, Lykathea Aflame, Amon Amarth, etc etc (mostly the bands I like, lol) who were primarily DEATH metal bands who were good at mixing melodies with their brutality. I mean I guess you could combine the two but would you really feel good about putting In Flames in the same category as Hypocrisy or Vehemence? o_O | ||
