If they are reliable someone may find a use for them. It doesn't hurt to have them listed. Otr500 (talk) 05:22, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I re-inserted the powermetal.de source because it is mentioned explicitely. It is a long-standing, reliable site.--Iconicos (talk) 18:32, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

It is not in the article but the group is apparently considered a "melodic death metal" band. Otr500 (talk) 05:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's generally simply considered death metal, see most of the sources and other Wikis. In fact, there are few melodic parts, but in general it's simply not "melodic enough" to compare it with In Flames, Dark Tranquillity or At the Gates.--Iconicos (talk) 07:44, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And by the way, it's in the introduction. :)--Iconicos (talk) 07:46, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is not my genre but did you look at the link? Is that a reliable source? Otr500 (talk) 13:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One source refers to them as Cthulhu-themed melodic death metal act Otr500 (talk) 13:36, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I understand and saw the lead. Not understanding the comments "And by the way, it's in the introduction", for whatever that means (reminder, being smart, etc...?), but when adding categories I ran across sources that indicated "melodic death metal" as a sub-genre and then saw there were certainly different classifications on Wikipedia. A source gives a review: Sulphur Aeon – The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos Review that states "This band has been evolving since their debut, moving from a heavily black metal influence in their music to more of a solidly death metal realm...", but with the many sub-genres being used like Technical death metal (tech death) such as with Obscura and Necrophagist. It would be more than a natural assumption, when there are sources, to to consider a sub-genre. I can only use or comment on what I find in sources. Otr500 (talk) 14:12, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My comment was indeed just a friendly reminder because I thought you might have missed the lede. I think the source angrymetalguy.com is reliable in general, but puts this album mistakenly to the melodic death metal genre. I think the description from metalutopia.com is more correct. But in general it's simply death metal in a pure, raw form, for my "25-year-deafened-death-metal-ears" ;) the new album can be described as a mix of Behemoth (band) and early Entombed (band). Sometimes a little melodic (new album), sometimes a little blackened (early work), but always death metal. Just as the majority of sources say.--Iconicos (talk) 18:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Linking

@ Iconicos: If this is your forte you might add links to List of heavy metal bands by country#Germany or List of heavy metal bands? Considering the above sub-genres comments and the apparent derivatives of death metal where is the band likely placed? Otr500 (talk) 15:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will have a look at the lists.--Iconicos (talk) 18:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
