a pack of wolves:
That's odd, most metalheads I've chatted to about that call them tech metal. The new album sounded very metal to me, and much less tech/math.

KharBevNor:
The ultimate bastion of metal elitism, the archives, doesn't have 'em:

And that's good enough to back up my opinions. Tech metal? WTF? There's nothing metal about them, even fans agree with that. You want to get an idea of how off you are, pick up some actual tech metal like Behemoth or (at the other end of the scale) DragonForce. DEP's influences are post-hardcore, math and jazz.

a pack of wolves:
Not all fans, that's all I was saying. And that site had Discordance Axis who play grind, so it isn't all that elitist.

Dragonforce are awesome though. Fantastic widdling.

KharBevNor:
Yeah, I know, the site is pretty wobbly in many respects. Half the moderators are ultra-elitists, half are ulta-tolerant. Pretty much. Non-metal stuff can get on easily until Ultraboris hears about it. Then he normally starts an argument with the other mods and annoys them so much they let him delete them. They used to have Atreyu on there (very, very briefly).

But DEP are big an well known, and their disinclusion heartens me.

God, I hope they tour the US soon.  Somehow I managed to turn several of my non-metal friends onto DragonForce, and we are dying to see them.
