Is it true that the Audio Technica ESW9s don't perform well when it comes to metal and hard rock?

Many claim that the ESW9s are too "slow" for fast, aggressive genres of music like metal and hard rock while a few claim that they work well at playing back any type of music you throw at them.
 
I generally don't listen to metal or hard rock often, but the odd times that I do listen to these genres these cans wouldn't completely disappoint me . . . would they?

Well, I think they handle metal very well. That being said, I don't get into the death, black, extreme etc...but Opeth, Eumeria, Megadeth, Trivium, KoRn, Coal Chamber & Mudvayne as well as a host of others are always on shuffle and sounding good and tight indeed.

Cheers
