DanHOST
They fit in with all that, I guess, Swedish death metal at the time that was really popular.
DanHOST
Melodeath, which was then big-time inspiration for the American metal core movement.
DanHOST
And a lot of people moved off of that sound.
DanHOST
Hate Sphere did not.
EricHOST
Okay, they were fine.
EricHOST
You know, she was an okay vocalist and you know decent for you know decent for metalcore but metalcore and melodic death metal Despite the fact that metalcore is derivative of mellow death metal are two very different beasts You know metalcore warped itself into being its own thing and melodic death metal Especially from Sweden has stayed very much in its own lane, you know so It seemed like a match made in heaven.
EricHOST
It was not.
EricHOST
And, you know, Alyssa White-Glue, she showed up.
Jake MunroGUEST
Not the post-hardcore stuff, no.
Jake MunroGUEST
I was more into some of the Melodeath of the Scandinavian era.
Jake MunroGUEST
side
Andrew BriggsHOST
we were on the exact opposite end we probably got like a little venn diagram crossover somewhere in there but yeah
Christian RennerHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Christian RennerHOST
My final thought on this one is Honorbound is one serious comeback album that mixes Melodeath and Power Metal with Japanese-inspired melodies into a banger of a record.
Christian RennerHOST
And Whispered came back swinging like they have a decade of catching up to do.
Justin CorbettHOST
It's fantastic.

Christian RennerHOST
So if you're not into that, take that for what it's worth.
Christian RennerHOST
Then finally, my last one, the band In Eclipse, Penumbral.
Christian RennerHOST
This is Melodeath from Andorra.
Christian RennerHOST
And I don't think we've had a band from Andorra before, have we?
David PizzoHOST
she could sing her or whatever it is she's doing vocal vocalizing is definitely happening here and
BenHOST
i mean it it does rely a little you know it's melodic death metal which is not my favorite genre i know that to be so um you know so there were times where with the melodic death metal it was approaching power metal and i was like i don't know about this but like Um, overall I, I, again, well-produced what you should expect in the year 2026, but like, yeah.
TraceyHOST
I mean, you get, with all Mark Death Metal, you get the fantastic guitar playing on it.
TraceyHOST
But I feel like also at times, Mark Death Metal runs into the hits, similar sayings, like we talked about the previous album, that it's just like, unless you're just like in the weeds of a big ass fan.
Gabriel CooperHOST
And in fact, I believe that, and you'll I hear exactly what I mean when we get to the tracks, but I think this album takes a bit to get going, to actually get somewhere.
Gabriel CooperHOST
And then when it finally kind of finds its stride, it gets rolling and it's really kind of cool to listen to.
Gabriel CooperHOST
But I think that it does fall a lot into what melodic death metal tends to fall into, which is heavy focus on sort of melody and sounding pretty.
Gabriel CooperHOST
Uh, and kind of sacrificing some of the songwriting stuff.
DaveHOST
Writing a metal album about Elden Ring couldn't be more fitting in my eyes.
DaveHOST
Melodeath and black metal are two of my favourite genres and while I never set out with the deliberate intention to merge the two genres together, that's how this album has ended up sounding.
DaveHOST
I'm proud that Noctual doesn't really sound like anything else in the metal world.
DaveHOST
The album was produced, mixed and mastered by Keir Campbell.
