Sylosis' "Casting Shadows" and "The Supreme Oppressor" should be removed from The Horde

I have a lot to say about which clans Sylosis should end up in, because although I consider the band's sound in their 2010s and 2020s albums a mix of thrash and melodeath, I don't think I can say the same for their earlier material. Let's start with their two EPs, Casting Shadows and The Supreme Oppressor. These EPs shows a more thrash/melodic metalcore sound similar to Trivium at that time. The melodic riffing is more around the hardcore side instead of the extreme yet melodic side of melodeath. So I'd like to submit Sylosis' "Casting Shadows" and "The Supreme Oppressor" to the Hall to be removed from The Horde and the melodic death metal subgenre, while maintaining its position in The Pit and The Revolution (the latter clan I'll propose adding to Casting Shadows in a separate submission).

These nominations have been posted in the Hall of Judgement (see the below link). I've also added "Casting Shadows" to The Revolution under the Melodic Metalcore subgenre as it now qualifies for inclusion.
