...I ultimately disagree that the two are sufficiently divorced to warrant their serperation. The fanbases might ultimately warrant that, but from a musical perspective, there's actually not much that can be said to be distinct between the two, other than things metal simply takes to greater extremes, like guitar technique and sheer distortion level. Almost all of the fundamental compositional technique in metal is found in rock music.
Or, put more succinctly - The only people who think rock and metal are too different to talk about together, are people who are too invested in one of the two, to talk about either on a musical, as opposed to solely aesthetic, level.
