Japanese musical genres are a bit more lenient and therefore somewhat different from what the rest of the world tends to use. Bands in Japan tend to stray from genre to genre in the effort to keep their sound fresh and different. They tend to clump any metal subgenre together as "death metal" if the lyrics contain dark elements, regardless of the actual style (such as the other anime band Detroit Metal City, called a "death metal" band as well even if they played various kinds of metal including glam). I think that even if any real metal fan or band there might know the difference, it's easier to appeal to the general Japanese audience as being "that" kind of music.
