The best of: The Duskfall

Country: Sweden

The Duskfall is one of the best melodic death metal bands of all times. If you like any kind of metal, and never heard about this Swedish group, you've been missing a lot. Their work is so good, that even someone that is not into any kind of metal, could recognize the great talent behind it.

I followed this band since its first full length release, "Frailty", in 2002. I was astonished, right away, by the innovation and the quality in composition present in every single song.

This is maybe the best melodic death metal album out there, and there are many. The style is unique and special. There is really a fine work in the songwriting, being impossible to get bored from the beginning to the end.

The next three disks released from this now disbanded group, weren't so great, but still a few jewels are to be found in each one of them.

We're gonna try to pick the ten best songs of this not so vast, but great discography. It's a bit hard because this guys really pulled out a lot of amazing songs.

The best one is, without any doubt, Farewell Song, from their first album. Believe us, no one should miss that one.

The order isn't a ranking, it follows the disk and track list lineup.

1. None (Frailty - 2002)
2. Farewell Song (Frailty - 2002)
3. Just Follow (Frailty - 2002)
4. Deliverance (Frailty - 2002)
5. Source (Source - 2003)
6. Guidance (Source - 2003)
7. Shoot Out In (Lifetime Supply Of Guilt - 2005)
8. Hours Are Wasted (Lifetime Supply Of Guilt - 2005)
9. The Wheel And The Blacklight (The Dying Wonders Of The World - 2007)
10. Sealed With A Fist (The Dying Wonders Of The World - 2007)
