And by saying that death metal has no "melodic hooks" (or very few) you're actually restricting it.

Nothing is wrong with a melodic hook I'm just saying It doesn't have to apply in death metal. Death metal usually doesn't have a melody but that doesn't mean they refrain from using one because some do. Usually death metal goes it's own way and leaves out the necessities of a usual melody infused song and creates their own individually inspired tastes. Thus creating music that isn't normally appreciated by the ones who are used to melody. The genre really does promote individuality and anything goes nature because of how extreme and powerful it is.

Here is a youtube example of this please be aware of the non melodic hook and more of an individual melody.
