Songs Are Often Written In Conventional Structures And There Is More Usage Of Keyboards And Other Instruments. Melodic Black Metal Is Sometimes Confused With Gothic Metal Doom Metal And Symphonic Black Metal Due To Similarities In The Styles.

Heavy Drumming And Highly Structured Guitar Riffs Usually Played With What Some Call Reverse Or Inverted Power Chords And Tremolo Picking Are The Most Prominent Feature Of The Genre Entailing Melodic Structure Deep Within The Composition And Sound.
