Not in the same toothless way that latterday Swedish Death Metal was. Dissection, In Flames, At the Gates (not the first few albums), all fucking garbage. Dismember is the best example of a band that actually balanced the melodic stuff with the 80s rawness, but tbqh I always preferred Entombed and Grave anyway.Necrometer wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 1:36 pm
mike, everflowing stream is extremely melodic & hooky. you may also be simpin imho
It's just sad because I really liked that stuff back then and I still do, but these days people have this idea that At the Gates were somehow innovators and Dissection is perceived as... I really don't know what people see in them, but it's obviously more to do with Nödtveidt's pathetic persona than the actual music, which was just all fluffy, la-la, here's another hook. Terrible shit.
