It's great to see Avatar on the top. Although I don't consider them melodic death metal, more like a progressive thrash melodic groove death power metal band. Just Phenomenal musicianship.

They are original when they blend the brutality of regular death metal with the emotional point of view of the melodic death metal side. it's brilliant, and the fact that they are not in the top 5 is weird.
