I tend to have a really hard time identifying any given subgenre.

It was hard for me too at first, it just takes some time to get used to the genre as a whole (aka listening to it a lot) and getting some information about what distinguishes genres

MMF is pretty much metalcore/hardcore, the two are so similar even I don't know the difference (I think hardcore might be a little more punk influenced). Before their eyes also sounds metalcore. Alestorm is definitely pirate power metal.

I think this is more hardcore, catchiest chorus ever

For Death/Black Metal you could add Impending Doom, Job for a Cowboy, and Whitechapel

What about Amon Amarth?  They sound like death metal but they have viking themes.  Power Metal/Death Metal?

Thank you for making this thread.  You are an inspiration to us all ;~;

Alestorm would be power metal I think and Memphis May Fire would be Death or Metalcore... I think

[HerpaDerp]

Alter bridge <3

They would probably be more death metal, just with viking lyrics, not necessarily speed or power metal

A lot of people identify Amon Amarth as "Viking Metal" which is surprisingly an actual genre of itself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_metal), though they disagree and just call themselves Death Metal artists who sing about vikings.

As for death metal bands that arent listed, a few I enjoy are
- Dark Tranquillity
- At the gates
- In Flames
- Kalmah
- Insomnium
- The agonist

and thats all thats in my itunes folder :I

EDIT:
Amon Amarths lead singer has a loving amazing beard

[Harm94]

I like bands like Tank, Judas Priest, Sabaton

[Khorde]

Glam Metal!
