Depends what sort of elitist they are, the ones who think In Flames sold out with the Jester Race or the elitists who think In Flames sold out with Clayman.

I usually associate metal elitists with hating In Flames and melodeath in general. At the Gates too for that matter, but not as much as In Flames.

I can`t really see extreme metal elitists like melodeath either, lets face it what is melodeath? Its basically a watered down version for metal light-weights of their beloved death metal

Old In Flames was good. I like ATG, but I would choose that album over them. Any other album by In Flames, naw, but "Whoracle" had some good moments. "Gyroscope" is an amazing song.

All the tr00 metal elitists I'm aware of have a huge love affair with Amon Amarth (no that there's anything wrong with that, awesome band) but aren't they considered melodeath? If anyone says the words "viking metal" I will destroy them. Lyrical themes do not dictate a sub genre.

I've noticed that too. Metal elitists don't seem to like gimmicks, but Amon Amarth has one of the most gimmicky images out their (but like you said, they are good). In the end, if you are an elitist, you are a follower. People develop elitist tastes so that they can call themselves "trve metal" or "cvlt" or what have you. Even if they liked melodeath, they wouldn't admit it. Something allowed Amon Amarth to slip through the melodeath filter for these elitists. It provided an outlet for them to satisfy the melodeath needs they keep buried deep inside

My guess would be the vocalist. He has a much more gutteral death metal voice, rather than the more melodic approach of Anders from In Flames. Not to mention he looks like a fucking viking. There is nothing more metal than looking like a viking.

Exactly the gimmick I was referring to.
