Sorry Spit. I was highly corrected in another thread on another forum by a diehard AS fan. My bad... When I started writing this, I had just picked up their second album "Waking the Fallen," and it definately sounded metal to me. I'm also new to the whole screaming rock genre, and I have yet to explore the many different aspects it holds. So believe me when I say, I had no intentions in offending anyone... Even if it was you!
