They aren't Death Metal. Nile are Death metal, Death, Possessed, Pestilence, Carcass.
Arch Enemy are not Death Metal in any form.

Thay aren't Death Metal because all their songs aren't about Death. So how are they Death Metal?
What? They are melodic death metal based on there MUSIC, not there lyrics.
That makes no sense at all, Death metal doesnt have to be about Death, thats crazy. And No, a large portion of Niles come from MANY books of Egyptian history and mythology, The book of the dead is just one.
It is FACT, that you dont have to sing about death to be called death metal, Arch Enemy IS melodic death metal, there is no changing it.
Death, well they have plenty songs about life, so because they sing about something else suddenly they aren't death metal? Death metal isnt a lyrical genre, its a musical genre, its classified based on its sound. Sure, the early death metal acts like Cannibal Corpse, Death and so on, has a large portion of songs abotu gore and death, but the genre evolved.
I'm sorry, im all for respecting opinions, but it is pure FACT that you can sing about anythign you want, and STILL be death metal, you dont have to sing about just death to be death metal, it makes no sense.
You would be classifying countless death metal bands as somethign else, Death didnt become technical metal, Thats not even a genre, its a description, every genre of metal has technical bands.

It isn't my opinion it is from musical history.
Music also evolves, and its exactly what you said.....HISTORY....Thats what it was, not what it is. The genre has evolved, plain and simple.
