I see the point that you are trying to make, but it is still flawed. Let me try to explain this from my point of view and maybe we can come to some sort of a common ground. Kreator sounds like Kreator. I would NEVER get them confused, in name OR genre, with any other band with the exception of maybe Avenger Of Blood who is basically a Kreator clone out of Vegas. That Kreator song sounds just like the same era of Kreator that we have all known for about 15 years now (give or take a few of the more experimental albums that they did in the mid to late 90s). You are trying to compare a somewhat mediocre Kreator song to probably the best song that Destruction has written in at least a decade. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE both bands, but I would take Kreator in any era over Destruction in any era. I think Kreator has been more than consistent in their albums since at least Violent Revolution in this new era and haven't disappointed me at all. I haven't gotten nearly as excited with anything that Destruction has put out in that same timeframe, even with a few of the quality releases that they have had. Kreator is not, nor have they ever been, and "melodeath" band. I could perhaps call Trivium that, but no way in hell would I call A7X "melodeth". Honestly though, you act like "melodeth" is a bad thing. Look at Dark Tranquility. I would call them the very definition of "melodeth" and they haven't really done any wrong at all in my eyes. I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying that I think you are going about arguing your point all wrong. Take from that what you will.
