The Avenger, from 1999, is the moment the argument started getting hard to dismiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird album in, and the Gothenburg melodic death template is fully locked, twin guitar harmonies that sound like longships on fire, Johan Hegg's vocals like a proclamation rather than a scream, and a rhythm section that hits with the kind of purpose that makes you feel the ground move. It's not theatrical in a corny way, it's theatrical in the way that actual mythology is theatrical, because the stakes are life, death, and what you leave behind. A key record in melodic death metal, and the foundation on which one of extreme music's most consistent careers was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwedish melodic death metal.
