Hello. I will provide a few diffs to show how similar the behaviour is but overall it's an open and shut case. It's the exact same IP range AFI-PUNk was abusing with before and the contribs are identical for El Olfo too. I ran into El Olfo, reverted almost all their contributions, and then a day later the IP's show up making the exact same edits. All to the same articles that AFI-PUNK was targeting.
 * Evidence

Each IP and El Olfo went through various articles, changing the genres in each, including all of the Papa Roach articles as before, changing the genre to Post-Hardcore. If you look at the talk page of this confirmed sock-puppet of AFI-PUNK, User_talk:Melodic_Horror, you'll see they make arguments about adding the Post-Hardcore genre.


 * [:- This is the check user range that proved AFI-PUNk was abusing with this particular IP range.


 * :- Thought it might be useful to add this here.


 * IP edit
 * El Olfo edit

Just have a quick scan through each of the contribs; the edit pattern is identical.
