Death Metal started out with only songs about Death and gore based lyrics. That is how it started out. Yeah it evolves but Arch Enemy are too soft to be classed as Death Metal whatever the case anyway. Modern Death Metal is stuff like Decrepit Birth, Odius Mortem and Necrophagist. All of those bands are FAR heavier than Arch Enemy and therefore however you look at it they aren't death metal. And I still stick with the fact Death Metal was called what it was because of the lyrics. Look at Death's first 3 albums. Every song about Death and Gore. They moved on to more spiritual stuff and that is when people started classing them as a Technical Metal band rather than a Death Metal Band. They progressed.
I don't think saying they aren't death metal is an opinion as it is based on the first meaning of Death Metal but I can't be arsed with this thread anymore as its boring me. If you want to think they are melodic Death metal then go ahead.
