Default Happy Metal bands?

Does such a thing exist? It came up in my mind when listening to this kirby metal cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuEFR0On2M8.

Which reminded me of the ''Happy Black Metal'' and ''Happy Deathcore'' joke videos by SteveTerreberry, but you see, the first one of those actually sounds pretty cool.(The latter just sounds like ''easycore'' style pop punk, which makes sense. But most ''easycore'' bands suck ass.)

I know of happy sounding while still aggressive Punk, but I don't really know of happy extreme metal. Not that I've listened to that much metal.

edit: In case you don't know what I mean by happy punk, I have some examples. this early 2000's street punk band uses happy sounding chords a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb3vdKs_Wg4.
'"Crack Rock Steady'' style Ska Punk bands often use happy chords, even in their non ska songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyvYyOGst1I, is an example, or
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjKA8f30Fxg. Speaking of which, ska punk in general sounds very happy, so in the punk parts they still usually use happy chords.
Lastly, pop punk bands with some aggresive vocals , like Direct Hit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFxVmRi-ZQo.
