      @@brpadington Yesh I know. My fav albums are the first 2 cause they had that odd jazz vibe + crazy thrash. Chris and Gar were monster players that don't get much recognition. Still love Marty's playing but Chris' solos in Good Mourning, Bad Omen or the 1987 version of These Boots are just perfect for my taste.

      Awesome album for sure. One of the first death metal albums I listened to (as in death metal as a whole, Arch Enemy is of course melodeath) and it blew me away. Punchy drums and mix, and crazy stuff going on with guitars with an ultra-aggressive tone to boot.
      Personally I've been a drummer for 15+ years but only recently started getting into guitar. So it's cool to actually understand now why I liked a load of guitar work on Doomsday Machine when I first heard it all those years ago - they use a number of interesting scales/modes that give it a really exotic flavour, especially in the solos, e.g. Hybrids of Steel. And My Apocalypse was probably the closest thing to djent I heard before discovering Meshuggah!

    I think the best solos are the ones that blend so seamlessly into the track that you don't even necessarily realise you're listening to a solo, but just get swept up in the wholr experience. For that reason, my favourite solo is in The Fall of Consciousness by Psychonaut. Plus the way they transition back into the main theme is brilliant.

    Why not both?!?! My favorite melodic metal solos would have to include Whispers or Shades of Grey by Symphony X (super under-rated MJR solos), Ministry of Lost Souls (Outro solo) or A New Beginning (TA? I know, but this song is a banger) by Dream Theater, The Dream Sequencer by Ayreon (Arjens best guitar work ever imho), outro to November Rain is a classic (but is it metal???). that's all i can think of at the moment. Cheers!

    The Ninja was great! Cacophony doesnt get 1/10th the recognition they deserve. Its impressive that, even while they had two of the best guitarists out there, they also had some of the most melodic solos as well (not to mention Jason Becker and Marty Friedman’s solo stuff)

    Great choices, one and all. I especially appreciate the inclusion of Cacophony (I'm a big fan of Jason and Marty). One of my favorite melodic guitar solos is the 6:00 to 7:00 minute stretch of Joe Stump's "The End Approaches". Heck, the whole song is melodic and includes some of the most technical solos you're likely to hear. In fact, the solos in the outro rival most anything out there.
