Primary Stylistic Influences:
Death Metal, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Traditional Heavy Metal
Secondary Stylistic Influences:
Thrash Metal, Black Metal, Power Metal, Speed Metal, Progressive Metal, Hardcore Punk, Hard Rock, Post-Rock, Metalcore (in later bands)
Melodic death metal, occasionally called "Melodeath", is a notable subgenre of Death Metal that is characterised by harmonized, Iron Maiden-styled guitar melodies and a generally higher-pitched growl, though low-pitched ones are occasionally used. Depending on the band, they may even incorporate clean singing into the mix.
From one perspective, melodeath was created by the British band Carcass; however, it's unclear whether they were truly the first. Whatever your stance, everyone can agree that the style was popularised by three bands from Gothenburg, Sweden: In Flames, At the Gates, and Dark Tranquillity. The success of these three bands resulted in a number of mainly Scandinavian bands that took on the style, while several bands from Finland (Children of Bodom, Norther, and Kalmah) created a flashier, more bombastic style that borrowed heavily from power metal and helped influence both that genre and a host of other, newer melodic death acts.
Melodeath is seen as a less underground style than standard Death Metal (can even be thought as a Gateway Series to the latter); its lyrics generally do not focus on gore, although there are exceptions (Dismember is one of them). Melodeath was also a huge influence on many Metalcore bands. When fused together, they become Melodic Metalcore |

The Black Dahlia Murder (They are often considered a deathcore band due to their fanbase and a couple of their very early releases, but even though they have proven highly influential to deathcore they have little in common music-wise with the genre and are a lot closer to At the Gates than they are to Suicide Silence; as of Everblack, they've begun including elements of brutal death into their sound.) |

Amorphis (They have gradually morphed into some form of "Progressive Folk Metal", although melodeath elements can still be heard from time to time. One of the early users of clean vocals that made it work, along with Dark Tranquillity. Possible Ur-Example, as a few songs from their debut could certainly fit in with the genre and predate Heartwork by a year) |

Omnium Gatherum (Latest release experiments with Progressive influences. Very strong ties with Insomnium (including one of their current guitarists joining Insomnium after the departure of a longtime member), to the point both sharing a considerable portion of their fan bases and being known as Insomnium Gatherum.) |
