Why listen to a hardcore band trying to be a metal band, when you can listen to a metal band actually being a metal band?
Metal is not a side-dish, a flavor, something to be added to something else in small doses, etc. Either you are unashamedly, unabashedly Metal, or you aren't; you can't become metal.
To their credit, though, DH are not mere wannabes, which is more than I can say for the multitude of hardcore bands who have added a 'little' Swedish metal into their sound... fuck off, please! NWOSDM sounded good in 1995, before trendy brats discovered it and ruined it. It's been beaten into the fucking ground by now, and sounds even worse when diluted with hardcore.

Yes, 'Slaughter Of The Soul' is a great record, but we metallers knew this when it first came out, the better part of a decade ago.
Really annoying... just like when, a few years ago, many hardcore bands thought they were playing 'metal' when they added a few vaguely Slayer-ish riffs to their sound. You just don't get it...
