Not sure if you were referring to my matrix example
If you were, then it doesn't actually say that instrumental skill or high tempo is what makes metal. You just record different traits, then you have to figure out yourself what kind of traits you think of as metal. A question then could be when has proto-metal become real heavy metal? Maybe hard rock or eurodance could pop up elsewhere in the tree if you take it far enough.
There must be some core traits that define metal but I can't say right now what they are.
