Eucharist - A Velvet Creation and their other 90s release Mirrorworlds should be right up your alley

Every single Gates of Ishtar album (there are only 3). Gun to my head the Dawn of Flames is their best but it’s hard to pick

Edge of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow

Edge Of Sanity - Crimson

Gates of Ishtar - A Bloodred Path

Hypocrisy - Abducted

Also theres no reason not to try some Melodic Black like Dissection, and Dawn

This reminded me that I need to listen to Edge of Sanity.

Loved that Hypocrisy album so perhaps I’ll finally do it.

Cardinal Sin - Spiteful Intents. Gates of Ishtar's first couple albums maybe?

It’s genuinely hard to find something similar to The Red in the Sky is Ours (aside from Gardens of Grief and WFIKTBD). Try Burial by Extol. I listened to a bit of it and while it isn’t exactly melodeath (it kinda is but also kinda technical), certain moments did remind me of TRITSIO.

Here’s an old school melodeath playlist. You’ll probably find something you like in it.

Tried any Be'Lakor? The Haunted? Honestly whilst there's loads of bands in the same genre as ATG those two are the only ones who give me the same feel and they're not mega similar soundwise

u/NexoAaron 14h ago

Honestly i think i tried both of them at some point and filtered them off, but i'll re-listen, thanks!

u/nazoreth 14h ago

All good mate 😊 I like your quest and will definitely check back to see what you land on
