a lot of the melo death metal bands i like are from europe but they almost all have english lyrics. sure as fuck no squeaky vocalists tho. even their highs i wouldnt consider squeaky. you musta been listening to some weird core bands

one of the things i really like in death metal is the huge variety in lyrics and what groups focus on. anything from life stuggles, animal rights, to goreporn and murder lol
amon amarth, my favorite band for the last couple years, does a lot on norse mythology

first band i think of is Be'lakor. probably my second or third favorite group
they have super melodic riffs imo but still amazing low death metal growls. their lyrics are very poetic makes me think at least
