sure lets put some dude wearing a cc shirt whos only been playing guitar for a month, who only knows brutal death metal songs and a 12 year old kid on drums who just blastbeats the whole time, lets see how many people dig that!

focus on the SONG, not whether or not its brutal or melodic, write the song how it needs to be written, if all you do is write brain numbing brutal riffs, then you will never develop a sense of melody and every riff you will ever write will sound the same, yes on one hand you will be unique, but on the other hand youll just be another one-dimensional guitarist who can only shred and write brutal as crap riffs.
