Does anybody have some metal in a major key, that isn't power metal?

These are [i]technically[/i] written in minor keys, but major chords are used predominately within them.
Most of it is in major I believe

What [I]is[/I] the point, exactly? There isn't much metal that is written solely in a major key for the entire song. I'm pretty sure that Black Sabbath song right there changes key multiple times for example.

Yes I know its metalcore.

It's a shame their guitarists and drummer are in such a generic band.
Most metal key that is considered 'major key' is actually in mixolydian mode, but I hate being that guy.

Or Dorian
But both of those keys are awesome anyway so it's cool

Aklso even more technically both are modes of major
so major key

Their guitarist actually is quite a beast shredder, I dunno about the drummer.

He wants songs written in a Major Key. You linked songs written in Minor. What the actual chords are is irrelevant.

On a side note, I'm not really familiar with major key metal to be honest.

Dorian is a minor mode, is you say something is in a major key it means it resolves in the ionian mode.
But never mind they are both great sounding modes
I thought mixolydian was major aswell
If I remember correctly (my modes are pretty rusty) Mixolydian is just the same as the major scale that starts on the same note, but with a flat 7. So it still sounds pretty majory, just different.
Mixolydian is a major mode but something is generally considered major key if it follows the major scale rather than a major mode, which would make it modal. But let's not make this all bent.
Moar content anyone?

I know this isn't the kind of metal you are looking for, but I still think it's worth posting
