Same IP range, same articles, same commenting style, same geolocation, same concern (band type/genre). Most recently (other) used IPs were blocked as socks just a few days ago. This is probably just one more. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 21:52, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Same articles, etc. Just range blocked; didn't take, I guess. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 22:48, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Genre changes, same articles, same m/o, just created account a few days ago, seems to know an awful lot about Wikipedia even with the first edit. Recently rangeblocked, is possibly using this previously created account to evade the IP rangeblock. Just edited an article the blocked IP did a short time ago. Conicidence? I don't think so. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 23:31, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

This user named Gunmetal Angel's confirmed sock was an IP. I looked at the IP and I do notice I made an edit on the same page he made, Waking the Cadaver, however, I'm not him. First off, I don't edit metal articles that much. I mostly edit punk, emo, etc. However, I do know that band. But if you look at his contrib, he posted on the talk page saying they aren't deathcore which is a genre they are associated with and he then added slam death metal to the article and I restored deathcore since that was the sourced genre and slam isn't really a wiki genre anyways. Why would I be a sock if I undo what he did? The gunmetal angel user seems to be a metal editor, much more editing on metal than I do.
