Personally I can't stand many of the bands in this genre (or metalcore, which is essentially an Americanised version of the same thing). The only band I can think of that's done it well that isn't Carcass, Dark Tranquility or At The Gates is Vehemence with the album God Was Created (and that may only be because they really nailed the Heartwork vibe).
So, name some melodic death bands that actually include elements of death metal, aren't nu-metallers jumping trends (or ex-metallers going nu *cough*N*FLAYMZ*cough*), don't suckle from the teat of Pantera, don't have stupid wannabe-Halford/screamy guy harmonies or those stupid spoken-word bits where they guy can't decide whether to scream or talk in a tough voice, and preferably no bands with names made up of the randomly assorted melancholy words.
Thanks!

From what I remember they sounded very much like The Haunted but not quite as good. I think I read on this forum somewhere that they broke up or something, I don't know for sure though.
