Why is The Gathering considered a metal band? I have listened to this band and they are not a metal band, so why is this article on this website?

Even when Anneke joined, thier ensuing album sounded a lot like Ride The Lighting style Metallica with a female vocalist. They still have some metal elements, but have certainly drifted away from their metal roots.
