Dark Tranquillity released their album Construct back in May but I’m sure they’ll be playing classic songs from their older albums like Damage Done and Character too. The Swedes aren’t the only band from Scandinavia on this tour though as Finland’s Omnium Gatherum will be bringing their own brand of melo death to the Baltimore SoundStage as well. There will also be support from LA thrashers Exmortus that you won’t want to miss. Local support comes from Pennsylvania’s March To Victory. Check out these videos by the touring bands and let me know who your favorite melodic death metal band is!

My favorite melodeath band would have to be Heartwork-era Carcass, considering that Carcass is my number 1 favorite band in my top 3.
Darkest Hour is my FAVORITE Melodic Death Metal band.
Children of Bodom!
They’re pretty much power metal though :P
Hard to choose my absolute favorite, but it’s a toss-up between Christian-era Scar Symmetry, Solution.45, or Fragments of Unbecoming.
Dark Tranquillity themselves are my overall favorite. But second favorite might be Insomnium, if I can’t pick the band playing haha.
So hard to pick one, but at the moment I’ll go with Depresy. Their album A Grand Magnificence is criminally underrated!
Carcass
I’d probably say older In Flames or Amon Amarth.
Omnium Gatherum is my favorite melodeath group!
I can’t wait for the show!
I’m kinda new to the subgenre, but I love groups like Chthonic and Ensiferum…
In Flames
Favorite melodic death metal band… Insomnium!!!
Mors Principium Est
It’s always been about At the Gates for me.
Early Ensiferum! Their self-titled album and Iron are so, so epic.
pre-reroute to remain In flames, dark tranquillity, insomnium, or anything with Christian Alvestam
At the gates
