Becoming the Archetype's "Terminate Damnation" is more than just metalcore/melodic metalcore

OK, I know I nominated this epic masterpiece as the May 2025 Revolution feature release, but as I listen to it more, I can hear it coming out as more of a progressive melodeath/metalcore kind of style. The riffing, vocals, and some of the occasional breakdowns all sound closer to standard/melodic death metal, and the structures are quite complex and progressive in many of the tracks, short and long. With that I'd like to send Becoming the Archetype's "Terminate Damnation" to the Hall with two entries for the album to be added to...

1. The Horde as melodic death metal.

2. The Infinite as progressive metal.

All while maintaining its position in The Revolution.
