So tell me, which band(s) is (are) the most melodic thing you've ever heard in this genre! I don't care if it's too mainstream like Sonic Syndicate nor if it's too raw like Gates of Ishtar... so come on! Gimme names!

The best gothenburg band as far as their melodic power is concerned is Dark Tranquillity.
As least that is how I see it.

I am not sure about the most melodic, but Dark Tranquility is the best band from that area.

I would say Scar Symmetry is the most melodic.

If you count Mercenary as Gothenburg, then I'd say they beat everyone to it. Their sound is even too melodic for me.

Insomnium have great melodies when it comes to what I think a classic melody should sound like

Mercenary are Danish so dunno if they can be counted in - prob not. But they're seriously more melodic than any of the other bands mentioned.

I'll say that the most melodic gothenburg sound comes from the bands like veterans in this genre Dark Tranquillity, than
Detonation and also good old At The Gates

Noumena from Finland has some very catchy melodies. I especially prefer the song Everlasting Ward, or for that matter any of the songs from the album Absence for melody-centric gothenburg metal.

I'd say In Flames's songs My Sweet Shadow, Only For The Weak, Embody The Invisible, The Hive, Trigger, Crawl Through Knives and Alias if you want melodic gothenburg, don't know about the rest of the bands in the scene.

I guess the most melodic ones have to be In Flames and Dark Tranquillity. DT probably a little more melodic considering the syntheziers they mostly use.
