I don't like much melo-death, suprisingly. Arch Enemy and early In Flames is about the only melo-death I listen to. I'm more into prog or brutal death, like Death, Opeth, Atheist, Cynic, Nile, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide etc
That'd debatable. Opeth and Death (what little I've gotten to hear, blasted christian heritage) are fairly melodic in particular modes.
The only Death Metal band that I've heavily considered getting an album by is Dark Tranquillity. Rather awesome band, if you ask me. I should probably try revisiting some of the heavy stuff by Opeth, and should probably do like Kai told me months and months ago and get Death's Sound of Perseverence, which I may have gotten today, if Best Buy didn't suck. I heard a song from it when I friend was doing an online radio show thing and was blown away.
As for Brutal... Brutal isn't something that I get really into, it's not something that really draws me to it. I can listen to it now adays, because of a few AMVs, but enjoying it is another matter.
