Yes, I was simply parroting my impression of the current metal categorization zeitgeist. I appreciate your enthusiasm for detail in this matter and enjoyed the scholarly nature of your post. I totally agree with each of your points. FWIW, I bought the nuns EP on its release date based on the review in Thrasher magazine so I think that qualifies me as OGMF :-). Musically, I consider MF to be a mix of speed metal, heavy metal and hard bluesy groove rock (e.g. the Bell Witch intro riff and many others).
