Or.... does somebody know some melodic death / black metal band also with some normal singing? Something like Opeth?
as a general rule, it is not black metal unless you have the growl...in fact i know people who get upset if you can understand the lyrics. maybe that is not the norm...it is just what i have seen in a few cases. opeth is not exactly black metal, either...he is more just progressive metal who likes to use all ranges of metal. so...opeth is fairly out there with originality, unfortunately.
