Re: melodic death metal
Agreed, though we should give beef a break. Death metal *originally* was very melodic. But the genre evolved into more "brutal" sounding music, rather than melodic, like Death and even Dethklok. Normal death metal is now, because of how the genre evolved, more fast paced, exciting, brutal shit. Misery Index, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Commit Suicide, etc. Rather than what used to be Death metal, but is now known as melodic (albeit the first death metal being melodic) like Death themself.
