Fairly boring Swede-scene garbage. I really blame At The Gates for sucking hard enough to start a trend, but damn every last band that was lame enough to join along.

Regarding the Swedes, there's Opeth, Arch Enemy...then everyone else, including IF.

When I refer to swede-scene garbage I specifically mean the whole melodeath thing. At The Gates were mediocre at best and when you have a bunch of bands (Dark Tranquility, In Flames and Soilwork at the forefront) playing watered down At The Gates riffs it really only gets worse. The fact that it somehow caught on is pretty insulting to people with ears.

Entombed, Raised Fist, Autopsy Torment, Sentanced, Carnage, and Nihlist are the only Swedish bands worth mentioning.

Yeah and they are good. By far the best Mellodeath band IMO. COB is okay too, but some of their stuff can get really old.

Actually I think that is one of the greatest band I've ever heard...
The ''soundtrack to your escape'' is amazing...
Great songs like ''quiet place'', ''evil in the closet'', ''borders and shading'' and many others...
Also great albums ''come clarity'', ''clayman'', ''reroute to remain''... all are really good...
