Melodic death metal uses components of NWOBHM, in particular the fast riffing and harmonic guitar lines, but also is influenced by the characteristics of death metal like heavily distorted guitars, fast double-bass drum patterns and sometimes blast beats.[1] Melodic elements make up a key part of the overall sound through use of clean vocals, acoustic guitars, and keyboards. The vocal style of the genre is a combination of harsh screaming, clean harmonies, and death growls.[2]
