What? Don't talk out of your ass.

I'm talking from 10 years of metal listening experience bud.

Don't talk out of your ass if you don't know what you're talking about.

Of course I don't know what I'm talking about. XD

What do you think they are then?

That's a long quote.

Exactly what they say they are, Pure American Metal.

That's what they are.

Ah, you make genres up on the spot to suit yourself. Nice.

I didn't know Metal wasn't a genre.

Pure & American are adjectives.

Metal as a genre is too vague. Metal could be used against Kamelot, but metal also covers Morbid Angel, two VERY different bands. So, I'll rephrase for you: What sub-genre would you put them under then?

Ok then.

I guess if you must put them into a sub-genre I'd go with Heavy Metal.

So you'd group them with Iron Maiden, Iced Earth and the likes? I thought you knew what you was talking about.

Where are you getting your Genre info from?  Itunes?

Please no.

I don't like getting into "genre debates" because everyone has their own opinions of how music sounds to them.
I group every band i listen to as metal. 

You win, Have your own opinion, i really could care less, but have you listened to it/bought it?

No, I'm getting my genre info from years of listening to metal and reading about it, because it interests me.  Genres are also classified by the music, not the fan's or the band's opinion. Otherwise my opinion could be Britney Spears just pushed out a new black metal record, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's completely dumb to think that. Her music defines her as pop, not the fan's opinion and the same applies to all music.

Also I haven't listened to their new album, but I own Ashes of the Wake.

Ok well, maybe you've classified them as "Metalcore" based off of one album.  Maybe if you've listened to their others "New American Gospel", "As The palaces Burn", and now "Sacrament" maybe your opinion would change.

It's a good cd.  So now that you've got me talking about what i love most, music.  Have you listened to the new Slayer cd?  If you listen to them?

You didn't read my post, did you?

I have the new Slayer CD, but I only like one song from it. Raining Blood Slayer >>>>>>> new Slayer.

I ... did?

Anyways, what you said about Raining Blood is...100% true.  I agree with you on that, that cd shreds.

True that! But I do think this Christ Illusion is a bit better than some of the more recent Slayer albums. (Diabolus, God hates us all)

Maybe it's just my skewed thinking, but somebody actaully sits down and puts labels on this music, not the music itself. Whether it's a writer, or a band, or a fan, a store,... someone does it. So what makes them or you or me qualified to put a label on a CD? I try not to waste my time with the sub-genres peeps put on music. If it's pop, country, rap, opera, I don't like it. If metal is in the title, there is a good chance I'd at least give it an ear. (No offense to anyone who likes the afformentioned genres of music). And that's fine by me if you are intereseted in the sub-genres, I just thought I'd voice my opinion.

I'll use black metal as an example, also remember I'm speaking generally. (Keyword is generally)

Fans of Immortal and Ondskapt may go looking for new bands, and it's widely known that fans of the "true" () Norwegian black metal bands hate bands like Dimmu Borgir. Which is where sub-genres come in. Dimmu Borgir and Immortal have completely different sounds, yet could both be called black metal. So, a sub-genre (or sub-sug-genre if you must...) is created, symphonic black metal. Because of Dimmu Borgir's symphonic elements mixed with their style of black metal, fans of Immortal wouldn't find their music good to listen to. So instead fans of Immortal know to avoid symphonic black metal, but instead look for new black metal bands, WITHOUT the symphonic elements. (Hope this made sense/got my point across)

Also I agree, Christ Illusion > GHUA as a whole.
