The style of Swedish melodic death metal, sometimes referred to as Gothenburg, has been around for some time and played by an increasing number of bands (Swedish and other) of late, but when the subject of the founders of said style comes up, only two names come to mind, that being In Flames and Dark Tranquillity (the two bands share more than an early similar sound -- they indirectly traded vocalists early in their careers). They remain a powerful force in Swedish extreme metal, even though their style is less the classic Maiden-with-death-vocals approach than in their past.
