1) Again, stop talking about metal if the only thing that interests you is metalcore. I listed death, black, Viking, and folk metal releases that predated the KsE album you mentioned, but those aren't valid when talking about metal revivalists, apparently. I mention the thrash and traditional metal classics from the '80s, and those don't count when talking about metal revivalists? What DOES count? I get that you don't like those subgenres, but here's the thing: we're talking about the genre of metal. Not the genre of interesting to you.

What you mean to say is that KsE made metalcore popular. That is all. They didn't do anything for metal.

2) I think what highlights how disinterested you are in actually listening to any metal beyond metalcore is you telling me to post youtube videos of the bands I mention. I DID. AT PAGE 3. WAY MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE HAS.
