Definitely checks out. Insomnium - In the Halls of Awaiting, Kalmah - Swampsong, Amon Amarth - Jomsviking, Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes, Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows, Enshine - Singularity, Norther - Dreams of Endless War... Just to name a few 😂

Shylmagoghnar - Transience. This is rather fun

Ensiferum - From Afar

Singularity is amazing

My mind was blown when I first found it

I just stumbled upon them randomly one day lol Dreamtide and Dual Existence are amazing tracks

10/10. Also, random finds are the best!

They honestly are. That's how I've found many of my favorite bands and also the gateway for me into mdm and other genres of metal. Stumbling into Atoma one day and now I'm here lol

After you stumble into MDM it's never the same lol

Definitely don't regret it at all

Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel

Also Mirror of Madness by Norther

Death unlimited by norther is also kinda blueish and kicks ass!

Fuck me, New World Shadows. I had forgotten that masterpiece, been years since I listened to it. Thanks for naming it, going to have a good day putting it on repeat now.

In Flames - Subterranean is insanely underrated

I think it checks out. Nocturnal - The Black Dahlia Murder is blue also and absolutely slaps.

Storm of the lights babe as well

Great typo, great album

That's right, honey

Same with in the night side eclipse

Came to say this

Same artist as Sacramentum's Far Away From The Sun too. Dude really loves his blue castles

Surprised it wasn’t on here, thought for sure I’d see it there

Dan Swanö Moontower is kinda blue

Dissection 😎

Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe fits the bill.

I was very surprised to see it wasn’t part of the post. I could have guaranteed it would

That one’s green. Did you mean Neohumanity?

It's blue enough

I've always looked at the cover art as blue, but I guess you are right with it being borderline greenish blue.

Also wanted to add: Edguy - Mandrake (power metal) Not a death metal band but the album is filled with beautiful melodies (plus it's blue hehe)

New Soilwork album

It also goes for non death metal, ride the lightning, rust in peace, Voulez-Vous, who made who, nightmare, even the weezer blue album

Mors Principium Est - The Unborn and Deadsong by Before the Dawn (although I suspect this last one to be purple, one can never rest easy with colourblindness, lol)

Aephanemer, Prokopton In Vain, Aenigma Fleshgod Apocalypse, Agony Dawn of Ouroboros, The Art of Morphology Dark Tranquillity, Atoma Eluveitie, Ategnatos UADA, Djinn

Stormkeep - Tales of Othertime

Shylmagoghnar - Transience further confirms the theory

you forgot Darkane - Rusted Angel

Panopticon - Isis (the band not the Islamic state pls NSA dont monitor me bro)

Oh I thought you meant the solo album by the pornstar Isis

Sacramentum - far away from the sun one of the greatest albums EVER

Cannot believe how far I had to scroll to see this one

Nightfall in Middle Earth, if we go beyond melodeath

Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica Nightwish - Once (It's mostly silver but close enough) Skyclad - The Wayward Sons of Mother Earth Amon Amarth - Jomsviking Theocracy - Mirror of Souls Checks out. Goes beyond Melodic Death Metal too

What about Oceanborn?

Haven't really listened to it enough. This is a good reminder to do so

Norther - Mirror of Madness. As well Think you’re onto something!

DT Atoma

The unborn also checks out

idk if anybody here is into Jazz but Kind of Blue is like, THE cool jazz album so i guess it crosses genres?

Left hand path

I'd like to add The Somberlain and Storm of The Lights Bane to the conversation. Not Death Metal obviously but Black Metal and very melodic so I think they fit. Absolute GOAT albums.

Ride The Lightning, Rust in Peace and Somewhere Far Beyond check in

I actually came up with the same theory like a year ago, so cool to see someone likeminded!!! Doesn’t only apply to melodeath, but there’s also Sleep Token - This Place Will Become Your Tomb; Behemoth - The Apostasy, Thelema 6; Unto Others - Mana; Edge Of Sanity - The Spectral Sorrows; Rammstein - Rosenrot; Megadeth - Rust In Peace; Metallica - Ride The Lightning; Alcest - Spiritual Instinct; Iron Maiden - Brave New World; Spiritbox - Eternal Blue There’s definitely more but these I could think of instantly

Also applies to live albums - Katatonia - Dead Air and Sanctitude

Baroness’ “Blue Record” is top-tier.

Nightshade - Wielding the scythe, In Mourning - The Weight Of Oceans(actually it’s blue-green tho), and when it comes to non melodeath Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse, Immortal - At The Heart Of Winter and Sacramentum - Far Away from the Sun should be here!

> In Mourning I came to mention that one :) I think it's blue.

>Nightshade - Wielding The Scythe This was the first melodeath album I ever heard and is still one of my favorites. It's also a nice introduction into the genre for people who don't usually listen to it ime.

The two blue Saor albums are my favorite

the weight of oceans - In Mourning

weezer

Red albums too, like: Colony, Still Life, The Redshift, The Gallery, etc...

The Absence - From Your Grave

Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe

I made an album art wall I while ago and I also noticed that like every album was blue . I decided to give up on the color coordination.

True Weezer is great

Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World - Not melodic death metal but absolutely legendary so your Blue Law appears to hold true beyond the boundary of MDM.

I concurr. Here are more : * Blind Guardian - Nightfgall in Middle Earth * Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia * Fear Factory - Demanufacture * Norther - Death Unlimited * Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse * Sepultura - Chaos A.D.

Plus Edge of sanity have TWO blue albums

You also got heavy meta- nekrogoblikon, the dethalbum- dethklok, ocean machine- devin townsend, écailles de lune- alcest, scumdogs 9f the universe- gwar, leviathan- mastodon. The new rivers of nihil is blue too! Not all melodeath but all great albums

In my opinion, albums that have landscapes with some scary elements in them are the best. Example: Lorna Shore- Immortal, Mental Cruelty- A Hill To Die Upon, Shadow of Intent- Melancholy and Elegy.

Don't forget weezers blue album the best of all the blue

Oceanborn - Nightwish
