Oooh. Quite a nice list you have there. There are quite a few from your list that I like, but I don't really have time to write them down.

There is a need to categorize metal into subgenres because each of them sounds entirely different from the others. That is why there is a need for it.
That I agree with. I was going to rant about that at the start, but I couldn't be arsed to moan for a few paragraphs. Thank you.

Heh. Me too. Though I like the latter Death moreso than the earlier Death. But I still love them on the whole, & Chuck was a great songwriter & had a good voice.

Nice to see there are a few underground music fans here. You know what is good for you.

DM isn't called underground in America most likely, well perhaps not Florida & so.
