Melodic Black Metal

Melodic black metal is a subgenre of black metal that incorporates many of the core elements of traditional black metal, such as shrieked vocals, fast tempos, and high-pitched electric guitars typically played with tremolo picking. However, it differs in several notable ways, primarily through its emphasis on melody and structure.

The genre tends to feature less distortion in guitar tones, with more frequent use of guitar solos and keyboard arrangements.
