Artist: Autumn Leaves
Album: As Night Conquers Day (1999)
I've been listening to this album since probably the early 2000s (I believe I was 14 at the time of discovery), and it's still one of my favorite melodeath albums to this day. I would say 99% of the buddies I've played it for over the years haven't heard of the band or this album. It's one of those records that seems to have been largely forgotten, which is a shame because I think it's an absolute gem.... even after all these years, it still hits the same way it did when I first heard it.
It got me thinking about all the great bands that never really got their due from the melodeath genre. So, what's a lesser-known band or a one album wonder that you think deserved a much bigger audience? I'm always looking for hidden classics that other people have kept to themselves over the years.

P.S. Please check it out, this album deserves a listen through at least once. Favorite song off this album is Another Day, Another Demon... it has such an epic sound to it.

Discussion One of my favorite death metal albums of all-time (Dark Tranquility - Fiction). A 10/10 masterpiece in my opinion, every song is fantastic. I could listen to this album on repeat infinitely.

I was so sad when I discovered Finnish melodic death metal that every band is either abandond or someone died. Now next year COB will tour, norther will have a reunion and ensiferum just announced (while petri will tour with norther) that they will go on tour with jari (wintersun) and only play the old songs. This is going to be soooo cool!

I definitely had a mixed reaction, but it seems like an album that gets better with multiple listens. You get kind of a good variety of song styles. And I don't mind the production.

Bands that just have a lot of stuff going on musically, with a multitude of instruments backed up by choirs and orchestral sections and people fighting and dogs barking and sirens wailing. Just an absolute cacophony of noise that after multiple listens you're still catching new parts buried within.
