I checked out Yyrkoon, they are pretty good. I like most types of metal at the moment. If you are into death then have you heard Nile, i can only describe them as epic with their ancient egyptian influences, they have so much atmosphere in their music -->
YouTube - NILE - WHAT MAY BE SAFELY WRITTEN. I like melodeath but like you said the power metal infulences are a bit cheesy. I like bands like Insomnium cos they have kindov doom and progressive style and its so awesome -->
YouTube - Insomnium "Mortal Share". Ive just bought The Black Waltz by Kalmah and its brill, i just need to get their latest album to complete the collection! I started out liking thrash and metalcore so bands like metallica and as i lay dying, then i went to melodeath and now im moving into pure death and a bit of Black metal. anyway lol i will "befriend you"
