New Metallica

I don't how many people here have listened to the new single of Metallica from the new album Death Magnetic. I think its pretty good. I'm just not sure how "back to the roots" it is. It sounds like a newer Fade to Black. Its still not raw enough to be the old stuff. It isn't exactly Kill 'em All. I will most likely buy the album, but its just not all that roots Metallica.

Metalcore, Metal or not?

I am the first to admit that I like a bit of metalcore. I like Skinlab, Five Finger Death Punch, Lamb of God and a few others, but is it metal?
Sure Trivium and Atreyu and all that stupid shit definitely isn't metal, but what about the others? Lamb of God is considered trve metal, the others aren't, but whats the difference?
Listen to the vocals, in emo-metalcore like Atreyu or Trivium, the vocals are very highpitched and screamy, in Lamb of God, the vocals are much lower and heavier. This is the primary difference.
The vocals in Lamb of God are almost Cannibal Corpse esque. Not quite but almost. It's great just fucking great. Thats why metalheads are hypocritical in their music, because of these subtle differences.
