Ummmm....no. At The Gates were always and will always be a Melodic Death Metal band. The "Gothenburg" sound they had has been bastardized by today's "metalcore" acts.

And "tech grind". Call it what you will, my point still stands, it's kids ripping off the bands that ripped off the founders of the style. Real grind = Carcass, Nasum, Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer, Birdflesh.

I call it scene grind because of the people involved in it. It's not heavy or "brutal", it's weak breakdowns and a lack of playing ability covered up by the use of pitchshifters or drum machines. And kids go bat**** crazy for it and I really think a lot of it has to do with "rebellion". All adolescents go through it, when I was first getting into real death metal around 9th grade, I'd blast it from my room to annoy my mom and dad, I've since grown out of that but half the guys in these bands are over 20.

It's not good, not unique, and simply caters to chick pants wearing homo's.
