He's really not that far off. Everything they've done since after Blood In Our Wells has been garbage.
Drudkh is music for people that want metal in distortion only. Fuck off blackposes.

Not a fan of Estrangement no, its not awful though but was the second misstep they made (first being The Swan Road, and I won't judge them for Songs of Grief and Solitude being that it is a folk album and that was always intended to be)
They have been slowly drifting away from metal, and into music that simply has distortion. With Handful of Stars I think this is quite obvious that this is the case.
Totally unrelated, but what anime is the girl from in your picture?
The new album I mean.
Heartwork is such a boring album, and a great example of how "melodic death metal" as a sub-sub-genre or any kind of distinct movement is not a real thing.
Heartwork does become a little boring a few songs into it but I still think it's a pretty good album. It's not the greatest melodeath ever but it's certainly worth a listen or two. And what the hell do you mean by "not real"?
Edit: On an unrelated note I don't really see why people even give a fuck about Nails at all. I see them as just another face in the crowd of grind/powerviolence bands with nothing even remotely original or interesting at all to offer. The same riffs, different bands. Their appeal is how "intense" and "aggressive" they supposedly are, when there's about a million and a half bands that sound almost identical to them.
And what the hell do you mean by "not real"?
Melodic Death Metal is obviously a sub-genre, it is a melodic, catchy, and oversimplified (in most cases) version of death metal. Only similarities to regular death metal I hear are in the drumming and vocals, everything that is labeled as something exists just get use to it. I cant stand the high pitched screaming in much of melodeath, sounds absolutely horrid, which is kind of ironic considering I like grindcore.
Do black/death metal, death/doom, atmospheric black metal, etc also not count as sub-genres?
What the hell do people even mean when they say "melodic"; simply music played on the thinner strings?
A melody is just a succession of pitches which means that Onward to Golgotha is just as melodic as an In Flames album. The only time you can make a case for death metal not being Melodic is when melody is more subordinate to rythm, like with Suffocation or Gorguts.
