a classic example of why long hair and brutal vocals are not needed to make metal

To the people that bitch and moan about someone saying a band isn't metal, it probably isn't. Don't get offended when we tell you As I lay Dying isn't metal, because it isn't. It's metal influenced hardcore. Much like early rock music was blues influenced country in alot of respects.
Also, Muhammad is cool, but he is definitely overrated. Necrophagist gets really boring after awhile because he uses the same song structure for almost every song. |
Metalcore is very definitely metal. IMO not very good metal, but to suggest something isn't metal just because you don't like it is completely ridiculous. I don't like Cryptopsy, but it's certainly metal.
Plus, we don't get offended, we just think it's juvenile and pointless. Metalcore is metal. GET OVER IT.
