eh, I don't have an articulate way to say this, but those other bands are more celtic than DKM. I'd almost call DKM music that was influenced by them, but wasn't a part of them.
If the instruments make the genre, then Korn and Ac/Dc are celtic as well.
If the fact that they cover irish songs makes them celtic, then so is Springsteen and Waits, and both also happen to be african americans too.
Theres clearly a youth there, that grew up on the Pouges, but I don't think DKM ever wanted to be the pouges. In all, I think its part of being in the melting pot, the influences are there, but with each recording and especially the vocalist switch, they have moved further away from the old days of recording punk versions of Finnigans Wake.
