Ok so here's the thing. I just can't into pure troo kvlt black metal for some reason. I just dont like it. However I do like some elements of it and as such I love melodic black metal bands but I know few of them.

Share ! :dio:

Here's some I already know

Covenant
Catamenia
Dimmu Borgir (a bit meh)
Dissection
Kalmah (somehow I can't qualify it as purely melodic death)
Old man's child <------ is awesome, it sounds like how dimmu should.

I can recommend some albums that I think are quite accessible examples of melodic BM.

Windir-Arntor
Alcest- Le Secret
Thy Catafalque- Tuno Ido Tarlat (not really BM but definite BM elements and very melodic)
Drudkh- Blood in Our Wells
Ulver-Bergtatt
Ragnarok- Blackdoor Miracle
Taake- Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmerink
Dub Buk- Idu na Wyl!
Emperor- Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

Off the top of my head

Ophthalamia is just what you're looking for. It's laid back stuff that runs the gamut from Folk, to Rock, to Jazz, to Metal, and it's all topped with a level of "Blackness."

I'm in the same boat. I've been really into the melodic stuff lately. Check out anything by Windir and Vreid - Kraft.

Cool stuff. Dunno if it's really as varied as you make it out to be, though. Still good.

Saccramentum, although I don't think so, lots of people like them better then Dissection. Also a must have is Aspera Hymn Symphonia from Arcturus as well as Enochrian Crescent's - Omega Televocium album.

All great examples for melodic Black Metal.

Sacramentum's Far Away From The Sun is probably better than most of the stuff Dissection released. (except Storm of The Light's Bane)

If you like Dissection you should check out Watain. Soundwise they have a lot in common but unlike Dissection, Watain are actually good. Casus Luciferi is pretty cool even though it is not the most profound kind of Black Metal.

+10 points and a :dio: for picking their name from a Von songtitle!
