On that note, could you explain to me why melodeath is looked down upon in elitist circles? I personally listen to this sub genre as completely independent of death metal, in the same manner that you would not compare power metal to black metal looking for 'brutality' in the sound.

Anyhow, here are some lesser known bands that I've picked up on from other music forums, so as to not list the cliche bands:

The Absence
Unanimated
Eternal Tears of Sorrow

[Trent215]

dark tranquility
in flames
amon amarth
at the gates
black dahlia murder
divine heresy
soilwork
prayer for cleansing
