You'd be correct in that assumption but I do like Hail of Bullets, from all the bands he's sung in, the best. I don't like him all that much in Bolt Thrower that much though when that was a thing for a while. But I've got a thing for Swampgermans in general. I find them adorable.
Heaven Shall Burn certainly isn't Death Metal, that's why I said "most of them" because Neaera and Maroon, especially Neaera, had songs that were totally Death Metal. Hell, Neaera had entire albums that were Metalcore* all the way and yet also albums that weren't even remotely what one would call Metalcore**.
Why not, with the distance of time we have on it, discuss Metalcore? It's a total clusterfuck that can mean whatever depending on who you ask. I find it quite interesting. Because, unlike NuMetal, it never really found it's identity and was in thiis constant fluctuation from Emo, Screamo, Metalcore, Hardcore, Deathcore, Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Glam Rock and all the shit in between but there was never a steady stream of one kinda music that established itself as the gold standard of what that genre is supposed to sound like.
