Mithras has to be one of the most horrible attempts to sound like morbid angel. I agree with them being awful. Mithras sounds like a mess imo.

Like I said earlier, most bands are really musically skilled. I agree, Nile isn't more technical than 90% of bands. They don't sound any more technical than Behemoth, for one, a band that no one really describes as technical.
I think the criticism of Origin is fair for their second album, but the third one is good to listen to. Partly for the "wow" factor that Necrophagist has sometimes. The production is nice, and the songs are well-written, even though they are very standard structurally. There's quite a bit of melody in there for songs that are so fast and technical. Watch some video of these guys if you can. Sick musicianship.

Morbid Angel while not being the most technical band, the first five cds have more tasteful well written music than tech death metal bands.
Technicallity and being able to play fast does not mean you have a good ear for notes. Tech death metal bands in the spectrum of music are not technical. Cryptopsy are nothing more than fast musicians with some of the most babble random note guitar solos ever. I did enjoy 'none so vile, the band still has awful guitar solos that are babble. Offcouse after playing an instrument for ten years you can just hit tons of notes.

I agree with majority of these technical death metal bands being boring because they don't have any interesting chords or usage of notes, it just sounds like beefed up guitar scales in a solo format for 4 minutes. You should still make an effort to have decent taste in music instead of arguing with people that bands like slipknot are good when there is all kinds of music from many many years ago to now that exist. You look ignorant as hell.

Forever Advancing Legions is not an attempt at Morbid Angel. It is an awesome album, and for those who had heard Worlds beyond the veil and didn't like it, do check out FAL, it is much different and much better.

If a band has semi-technical riffs and a growling vocalist, they are death metal in my mind. Though that may not be accurate, it makes it much easier to sort my music, and then be able to listen to that type of music when I'm in the mood, instead of sifting through all these genres to find one that I really feel like listening to.

It means I can put a bunch of the same sounding music in one genre instead of sorting it into metalcore, mathcore, technical black metal, or whatever else there is. The only genres I use in terms of metal are death metal, thrash metal, heavy metal, and black metal. I listen to what I like, regardless of the genre its classified as. I don't know much about the history of death metal, how it evolved, or what bands are the innovators. And what is Lamb of God classified as? Groove metal or something like that? I'd rather just classify it as death metal because it's much easier than having all these other genres floating around in my iTunes.

Though it is worth noting that LOG do not sound like the other bands commonly regarded as death metal, so you may as well just have a folder on your PC called 'angry guitar music with shouting' and ignore genres altogether.

Which would work, because that is basically what most death metal is in a very crude form. When I want to listen to something 'angry', I will listen to death metal, which includes LOG in my opinion, because it is "angry guitar music with shouting". I'm not going to waste my time classifying 250+ bands on my iTunes, but I do like have my music somewhat organized, which is why I would rather have my own thoughts on what death metal is, instead of using someone else's that I don't agree with.
Well if you don't care about the development of the various styles and the important scenes and features of each one then I'm not going to try and change your mind. Though honestly I don't really understand the mindset of someone who will listen to the music but is happy to ignore how it has been evaluated and discussed through the years since IMO an appreciation of music goes hand in hand with an understanding of the influences and context that produced it, and I find both very interesting.
All you're really saying though is that you're too lazy to investigate what each of the genres actually are and would rather just form links between bands in simplistic ways to save time. It isn't that you don't agree with everyone else, its that you're being wilfully ignorant.

How the fuck are they metalcore? I can understand Groove metal, in their huge Pantera influence, but metalcore? Not in hell. Bullet for my Valentine is metalcore. Does LOG sound anything like BFMV? Nope.
