Ceremonial Oath is, and Disarmonia Mundi too, but this is really just nitpicking for the sake of picking nits.
Yeah, I should have read closer...but you're right about the nitpicking.

Who would you be refering to anyway? It sure as hell ain't me: Nuclear Blast has Grave Digger, Exodus, Hellowen, Manowar, Sinner, and Slaughter.
Okay, fair enough. I also happen to like the fact that they have Therion, Death, Control Denied, Stratovarius, In Flames, Fireball Ministry, Amorphis, Cathedral, Bal-Sagoth, Anthrax, The Kovenant, Skyclad, Soilwork, Sonata Arctica, Mnemic, Dimmu Borgir, Graveworm, Hypocrisy, Emperor, and the bands you mentioned. True, that many of the bands I listed only had one or two albums on the label that are generally considered shit, but I find them to be good, and in the end it's all about taste anyway. I will only believe them to be a shit label when Erik unveils his glorious theory. No mockery intended.
