Soilwork is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Helsingborg. They are signed to Nuclear Blast. Formed in late 1995 by Björn Strid and Peter Wichers, originally under the name Inferior Breed, the band changed their name in late 1996 to Soilwork. Listen to their songs and you can sometimes hear the vocalist actually sing "normally".
At the Gates is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, and a major progenitor of the Gothenburg sound.
Quo Vadis was a technical melodic death metal band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, formed in 1992 by Bart Frydrychowicz, Yanic Bercier, and Arie Itman, named after the novel by Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz. These Canadians combined Melodic Death Metal and Technical Death Metal, which is a rare combination. Their music was called Technical Melodic Death Metal. This blend sounds awesome to me because my favorite death metal subgenre is actually Technical Death Metal.
Songs - Point of No Return: Mute Requiem, Silence Calls the Storm, Break the Cycle, On The Shores Of Ithaka.
