This is why you aren't a horseman. Shadows Fall = metalcore, Soilwork = shitty melodeath. Fact, not your opinion.
Well, I'm just saying, Shadows Fall should not keep this guy out.
I'm saying the guy is out because he doesn't listen to enough actual metal. It isn't based on intent or trying, its based on the person's respective taste at the time of the writing. With only three legitimate, without a doubt metal bands, and three totally non-metal bands, all the ones in between weren't close enough for me to feel comfortable. I don't really want a bunch of metalcore kids running around here, that's not what this club is for. Nothing wrong with kids liking metalcore or whatever, if that's their thing, just don't do it here.
Also it isn't your job to stuff more metal down the throats of people who don't make it. I appreciate that you probably had to work hard on that post, but honestly I told the guy to ask. You don't even know if he's interested or what his likes or dislikes are.
