Possibly one of the greatest Sub-Genres in all of Heavy Metal. It combines the brutality, low guitar and bass tunings, complex and fast drumming, guttural vocals (while usually higher pitched than in normal Death Metal) with focus more on melody and harmony more than brutality. Electric guitars typically have complex rhythm, structure and riffs to them and combine low riffing, palm muting and power chords with "mini-solo" like parts that involve higher notes and odd note groupings. The genre started in the early 90's and has spanned from there. Some great/notable bands including a song are: Carcass: Heartwork Arch Enemy: Bury Me An Angel In Flames: Jester's Script Transfigured Dark Tranquility: Punish My Heaven At The Gates: The Swarm Dethklok: Laser Cannon Deth Sentence Children Of Bodom: Every Time I Die Amon Amarth: War Of The Gods The Duskfall: Shoot It In Callenish Circle: Suffer My Disbelief
