Great Thread. Good tastes. I love melodic death metal. And to get this straight once and for all: IN FLAMES fucking rules.
I actually just attended an Amorphis concert - also great band, but getting less hardcore..
Having said that I moved a bit away from death metal to metal featuring symphonic, classicals elements like Haggard, Therion, Epica, Sins of thy beloved. Truly pieces of art, which also might please Bob's fastidious ears - give it a shot, Chick.
