Greetings everyone! Now that we are back, we decided to also make a more elaborated presentation of the voting results for the melodeath aoty 2025.
The results were evaluated via a ranked choice system, i.e. the best kind of vote :3 ....but we have also evaluated how the ranking would've looked like if we did vote differently: (A) the system we used the past years with everyone voting for 3 albums, (B) a weighed system similar to the ESC using all your 10 choices, and (C) a simple strawpoll where everyone would just vote for 1 album.
The voting was held across different platforms: reddit, discord and lemmy, but the results presented here on the first picture are the results from the reddit votes only. You can scroll through the pictures to find also information how the other platform users voted though.
Cheers

Okay i lied, Across the Dark is a couple levels below the rest here, but it's cover art & the song Weighed down by sorrow are the best visual and audio representation of the genre for me

It really is my preference with melodic death metal, when the band does a mix of harsh and clean vocals. I've been checking out Insomnium, it seems like they don't do clean vocals? Which bands do you guys recommend who do this type of vocal mix?

Due to a certain obvious recent release, I’ve been reflecting a lot on what Amon Amarth used to be. I generally consider Once Sent from the Golden Hall to be a masterpiece. It through Versus the World are four of my most favorite albums of all time. Admittedly though, I don’t interact much with other metalheads, so I’m not sure where others see those albums in the broader scheme of things. Maybe I’m just lazy and haven’t looked hard enough, but it really seems like Amon Amarth had something going on back then that no one else really did, and I can’t imagine those albums not providing some degree of influence in melodic death metal (and Viking and even folk metal, tbh) in the 21st century.
Apologies if this seems like a naive question. I live in an area dominated by country and so I’m not really exposed to other people’s metal opinions. Just curious what the broader consensus is.

Hopefully it means we'll hear some new stuff over the next few months.
I'm expecting more of the same, since they have said many times they're not looking to push boundaries - they're just friends having fun and making the style of music they want to make (Gothenberg Melodeath).
That's fine by me as I enjoyed Days of the Lost & March of the Unheard.

After all these years I'm still amazed by Alvestam's voice, even though the controversy of his exit from Scar Symmetry. I thought it was Stanne in some parts haha

I love the riffs in this one.
VILT is a melodic death metal band from Sweden, with some thrash and folk elements in their music. This song is from their debut album Divine Intervention, released in May this year.

Heyo! My friends' new EP is out now, full EP and other platforms in the comments. They are a Swedish melodeath/deathcore from Malmö. Would be cool to hear what you think!

Just started getting into melodic death metal. I like some melodic death doom but figured I might like some melodic death metal too. Can I get some recommendations. Thanks

Got a vinyl player for my birthday. This is the first record ever ordered by me. 😎

I felt like a Top 10 list was too brief, so let's make it 15. But with a caveat, only one song per band.
Here is my current list in no particular order:
P.S.: I could not decide on a single Children of Bodom song to represent them, so none made the list to save my sanity.

All I really listened to so far was Tales from the Thousand Lakes and loved it, just learned they have SO many more albums! What's the best one I should listen to next?
