Y'know what I'm wondering? I'm wondering if you feel threatened by the fact that Lamb of God might just be metalcore. I always wonder about this whenever people are defending bands and making them out to be something different from what they are. Hey, I was the same way when I was younger ( I'm 19, btw, turning 20 next month). I would always say that Slipknot was Hardcore Metal and Mudvayne was "nu-american death metal." haha.
We can argue and argue, but in the end, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I believe Lamb of God is metalcore, and you believe they are thrash.
secondly, out of the bands you listed, I've only listened to 2 of them. Heard of some of them, but never listened to them, or at least not enough.
Black Sabbath; Heavy metal, and if I'm not wrong, they also contributed to creating the doom metal genre.
Mastodon; metalcore.
