I guess the reason for it to be called Metal is because the sound doesnt fall into any other sound being made. Like you said the double bass drum is something no other band is doing. I think the sound really defines the genre, just the raw heaviness makes it Metal, Punk is fast with very straight forward lyrics (mostly political), Hardcore is FAST with a minute long songs singing about whatever....I think the difference in sound really defines a genre, not how angry it is because every genre has some sort of anger.
