This Swedish band has been around for 15 years playing some very awesome technical death metal and yet they seem to not be that known. Their music has a strong melodic element but it isn't in the same vein as the stuff spawned in Gothenburg. Their music has some really great stuff going on in it. Apparently they use counterpoint. They're released 4 albums thus far. There's a bit of difference in the style on each one. So you owe it to yourself to check them out if this kinda stuff is right up your alley.

Here's some songs off their 2006 release

Children's Laughter

Downward Spiral into Madness

Complete Demise

Better Grieved Than Fooled

Well i had WAY TOO Much to drink last night, lets just say that i spewed up 7 times the next day and i felt terrible for the entire day. Lesson learnt!
