Huge fan of melodeath. At least how it originally came out. Not a fan of what melodeath spawned: metalcore. But I digress. That's a fairly solid list there. Early In Flames is still very special to me. Same with Dark Tranquillity, and unlike In Flames, they still make great music.
I wasn't gonna post much in the way of melodeath, because I consider it something different from Death Metal, but I'll add a couple important songs and albums for me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z_wYRSsSHg - Carcass - This Mortal Coil <-- One of the earliest examples of Melodeath, from a band that was full on grind only a couple albums before.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieOZuD6-Rsw - Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes <-- It was great to experience this album when it was new. Death Metal was still in evolving and this band's first 4 albums were all different from one another. Their second album had a blend of death metal and folk melodies that was something very new at the time. The following album is also a masterpiece, though it took a much more psychadelic direction.
