Melodic Bands

Does anyone know of any bands which play good melodic death/black metal a bit like At the Gates or Amon Amarth?

Don't forget Enter My Silence... that's close. You didn't really pick two very melodic bands there compared to other stuff.

Quo Vadis

All 3 of them are a bit more death metal, but still have great melodic stuff

Only great Katatonia were "Dance of December Souls" or "Jhva Elohim..." released in early Katatonia's times, when it was truely doomish melodic BLACK metal. Today's Katatonia is In My Opinion crappy stuff.

Other melodic stuff:
Summoning's all
Immortal's Pure Holocaust
Darkthrone's A Blaze In the Northern Sky
Vlad Tepes' side in the split with Belketre (March to the Black Holocaust)

Gardenian
Eternal
Nightwish
Darkcity

Gardenian is one of my favorite melodic death metal bands. They're kinda like In Flames, but I like them much better.

Exactly! They're trying, God bless their little souls, but failing miserably. ATG will never be equalled in their genre and I wish newer bands would stop trying to emulate them.
