Maybe a weird request, but does anyone know of any Melodic Death metal or metalcore, with female leads that do "pretty" singing? as in not arch enemy, but also not symphonic metal. I was listening to Eyes Set to Kill the other day, and realized that a heavier version of them would be pretty sweet i think 

How about Sinergy?  It's more like power metal-style vocals, but very interesting and awesome-sounding done by a woman.  Incidentally, their bassist is Marco from Nightwish.  I quite like the one album of theirs I have: Suicide by my Side.  They also did an excellent "Gimme Gimme Gimme" on the metal tribute to ABBA album.

If you don't care about production why do you care about sound reproduction?  It seems slightly counter intuitive.

Poor production in music matters as much to me as poor layout of a novel. I might get annoyed by it if it really is bad, but the overall atmosphere and concept of the album (or novel) retains. Sound recording, on the other hand, is entirely different. I see it to be part of the music itself and therefore quite important.

It's one thing to use distortion intentionally for artistic effect, I get that. I would rather listen to Twilight Of The Thunder God though than Once Sent From The Golden Hall. Twilight may not be the better album musically, but Golden Hall sounds like garbage, and that takes away the enjoyment for me. I seriously doubt that Amon Amarth intentionally wanted the album to sound that way.

???
 
Whats wrong with Once Sent From The Golden Halls production? I think it is perfectly fine. Yes its less bassy and thinner sounding as the style is bit different from their later albums (it still has slight black metallish touch at the times from their demos), but I do not detect distortion. Actually on songs like Dragons Flight Across The Waves I think the production is excellent, clear and melodic.

Holy hell man!

  As I said he was supposed to be on Sonisphere but was hospitalised just couple of days before the gig. Bone marrow transplant... if I have understood correctly it has very bad and painfull recovering process (IF it even works!), and not to mention finding a compatible marrow in the first place is slim!

It's not that it's clipped or distorted, it's that thinness and lack of definition that bugs me. One of my all time favorite Amon Amarth songs is Hermods Ride To Hell. It's a great song, but it also sounds great. If it was written for Golden Hall rather than With Oden On Our Side, I wouldn't like it nearly as much.

And its that thinness I think fits that album. Again the song Dragons Flight Across The Waves. It gives it more atmospheric blackmetal feeling instead of more bombastic deathmetallish sound. Thinness serves that kind of (sort of) sorrowfull song well, as it does its "sequel in lyrics" Without Fear.

I actually like the more atmospheric BM sound vs the crunchy distorted DM sound

I need more Amon Amarth in my life.  That's for sure.  Their latest album is really good.

Indeed. If Guardians of Asgaard doesn't make you start headbanging, you're dead.

Agreed. But Fate of Norns is still my favorite. Anybody listening to the new Gojira album, The Way of All Flesh? Absolute poetry.

this is a kind of a funny story, but since my HDD failed like 5 months ago, i hadnt gotten all the music that i had downloaded and not yet purchased back yet, and you brining up gojira, who i knew was french, made me go on a mad hunt to remember the name of another tech death band from france that i was listening to back in jan/feb that also started with a G, so after a good 20 minutes or so i found them again, Gorod, process of a New Decline was awesome
 
thanks for reminding me dude, also, will check out gojira as well.

It is very good. I also really liked their last one, From Mars To Sirius. Their early stuff really doesn't do it for me though.
