Classic albums and famous bands you don't like

Whatever you subgenre Opeth as, I’d take them over “traditional” death metal (e.g. regular metal with growls) any day. I need that prog shot in my veins!

The only tr00 death metal band that I actually like is Amon Amarth, although I’m sure someone will correct me and label them melodic Swedish Viking folk metal with hints of Valhalladoom or something.

Lol, what?! This is factually wrong on every level.
Opeth can't be even called progressive death metal. They were melo death in the early days, then turned into progressive rock gradually.
Progressive death is bands like Atheist, Cynic, mid-era Pestilence, later Death, Gorguts, Edge of Sanity and such. Maybe Nocturnus, too. And Opeth wouldn't even exist without those.

Whatever they are, they are far from "true death Metal".
It's basically for people who usually don't listen to death Metal. I don't know a single death Metal maniac who listens to that band.
It's mostly people who don't listen to extreme stuff at all.
No offense, if you like them it's cool. But Amon Amarth is literally the Bon Jovi of death Metal.

People call them Viking Metal because of the subject matter, but that’s not a thing. They’re a melodic death metal band, they just sing about vikings.

Viking Metal IS a thing, it's a subgenre of Black Metal. It's not simply a question of lyrics.
Thyrfing, Falkenbach, Einherjer, Turisas, Enslaved, several Bathory albums....
