@-ryuujii- yeah, just like you said, I'm a punk and metal lover far more than a vk lover. I've tried their new album this year, of course it'll be one of my top 50 this year.
THere's no such thing as "love metal". It's a joke, just like Immortal's "holocaust metal". HIM, for most part, is an alternative rock band and nothing more. DevilDriver started out as nu-metal before they changed towards a groove metal sound with some melodic death metal influences.
@Bear DevilDriver's early time is nu-metal? I've never heard about this before, I'd like to have a try. I just thought they have groove metal sound then I collect the discography. well, for HIM, ahuh... maybe I should abandon it.
