"Heavy metal" shouldn't be listed in the infobox. edit

I mentioned this as well at the talk page for the band, but it seems that someone has mistakenly classified Creed's music as heavy metal. There are no mentions of the term in any of this article's references nor any of the those about the songs on this compilation--save for three. Since I don't want to genre warrior it, I'd like some consensus on whether it still belongs or not, seeing as Creed has probably never played heavy metal as it's regularly known. The other genres listed are well-documented and easily researched, but the mention of "heavy metal" specifically is nowhere to be found except in three of the reviews for their albums listed on their respective articles, and none of them actually refer to Creed's music as heavy metal (although I can't read German, so someone double-check the Rock Hard review for Weathered). The Christgau review for Human Clay doesn't really say it and we all know that he's a metal-hating curmudgeon, so he's probably being facetious anyway. You can see for yourself if the Rolling Stone review of Weathered proves anything or not. The genre isn't consistent with any of the related articles on Creed's music either. I'll take it upon myself to remove the genre if there's no discussion for a few weeks. -- Dusk Malice (talk) 17:43, 8 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
