Even though I listen to a fair amount of hardcore (influenced) bands: The Dillinger Escape Plan Converge Cancer Bats Pianos Become the Teeth La Dispute Fall of Efafra Minor Threat Black Flag Trash Talk (and many others, inc post-hardcore bands like Fugazi/Rival Schools) Bear in mind that I also listen to a lot of cross over stuff like Black Breath. My favourite hardcoreish album of 2012 is Cancer Bats- Dead Set On Living. Not sure about all time. Any recommendations would be welcome.

Quantumfate posted:Fall and efafra and PBtT make me beg the quesiton: How do you feel about crust? I enjoy crust although I'm not entirely sure what defines it as a genre. I like Amebix for example, and Doom, but I'd be hardpressed to name other crust bands I like off the top of my head. In short, I don't feel I can answer your question, simply because I am not knowledgable about the genre. Light Bearer/Fall of Efafra/Momentum are all fantastic bands. I guess I forgot to mention loads of bands because I have already listened to bands like All Pigs Must Die, Botch, Trap Them and Narrows. Converge's new'un is by far one of my anticipated of 2012. I think I love that band a little too much.

I've recently really got into screamo in the vein of Daïtro, Envy and Pianos Become the Teeth. Is there anything like this that has come out this year that I need to hear? I am aware of Loma Prieta's album, I.V., but that is a bit on the fast and aggressive side to the stuff that I am really enjoying at the moment, it's a great album, just not what I'm looking for. Thanks

Different is always good, enjoying screamo is a bit of a revelation for me! Thanks for those suggestions, I already have quite an extensive playlist of older screamo to work through but I don't think I've actually heard anything from this year yet!

Vegastar posted:The re-recorded version of On My Shield sounds sooo much better. Still wish I had gotten one of those 7" when I could, though Yeah, I really love On My Shield, and the re-recording sounds great. I really like the fact that they've put all of those individual tracks (aside from the Wolverine Blues cover, which is amazing as well) on the album. I also like that they integrated the tracks into the album rather than dumping them all at the end. I don't really have anything negative to say about the album at the moment. Converge are still putting other hardcore bands to shame with their creativity and work ethic, and All We Love We Leave Behind continues to support the argument that they are perhaps the most important band in hardcore right now. On a side note, does anyone know if the Kings Road Merch vinyl orders were also affected? I saw my download link, but nothing about my order being delayed...

the Paper posted:Having just recently started listening to PBTT's second album which is amazing, all I can say is I'm incredibly excited for the TA/PBTT split. Same, it really clicked for me this week. Those who like hardcore in the vein of From Ashes Rise and Tragedy could do far worse than downloading Momentum's new album for free. They've posted a link on Mediafire to their facebook and say it will be available on cassette and vinyl in the new year if you feel inclined to support the band. Warning: It's forceful with it's Vegan message, but the passion behind the music is what makes it appeal to me. Here is a link to their Facebook page so you can see that they posted the link themselves/give them a like PS. It contains members of Light Bearer/Fall of Efrafa.

NeilPerry posted:I don't get this. Would you call anti-capitalism songs forceful? Or any other message that's usually in hardcore and screamo songs? I dunno, a lot of people on the internet at large get really wound up by "preachy vegans". I think most good hardcore/punk is "preachy" in some way. People seem to get more wound up about veganism than other things though.

Quantumfate posted:This is amazing and makes me feel warm and fuzzy. In the sense that I am riled up and ready to mosh. The passion in this group is amazing and I love the message. I am probably going to annoy all my friends with it. On another note, the new CTTS album absolutely sent it. I know they get a lot of flak from screamo fans for being overly poetic, but I really liked as the roots undo, and this new album is incredible. It's a little more wave than I would have expected, but as someone who missed the initial screamo and emo scene (Like everyone else?) this new revival is great. CTTS is coming back into force, Pianos become the teeth is incredible, Raein is touring the west coast. Good times ahead and heralded by this amazing album. PBTT are brilliant. I can't stop listening to The Lack Long After at the moment. Also Raein are playing here in a couple of weeks but I am an idiot and missed out on tickets! Oh well, June Paik are here in March, so I can't complain too much, really looking forward to that one.

Hopefully preorders for the TA/PBTT split goes up tomorrow with the release of the digital version. Still not sure where I will order from, DW normally get some pretty great colourways, but I am more into PBTT than TA, so I might support Top Shelf instead. Other than that, I caught Raein live on Friday night because a ticket became available and they were really good. I didn't really know their material but I will definitely be checking it out now. The venue was tiny, and the support band, Crash of Rhinos were pretty good too.

Twee as gently caress posted:Would you guys mind if I created an Emo sortamegathread as a spin-off from this thread? Although I dig emo, I'm not sure that creating a new thread for it will necessarily generate discussion if you couldn't get one going in this thread. It would make more sense to create one if this thread had become swamped with emo talk in my opinion. I don't actually know enough/anything about the first wave of emo bands to contribute anything meaningful to your hypothetical thread, as much as I like the music, unless I can ramble for several posts about how good Mineral's The Power of Failing is! e: I am looking at going to Fluff Fest this year because the last couple of years have looked really good, however, I don't actually know that many of the bands so far. I am familiar with Downfall of Gaia, Marnost, Harm's Way, Dangers and Goodtime Boys, but is there anyone else from the first crop of bands that I should be listening to? I'm pretty sure a lot of the bigger names are still to come as last year they had PBTT, Code Orange Kids, Loma Prieta, Defeater & Weekend Nachos amongst others. nomapple fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Apr 3, 2013 |

a slime posted:Fluff Fest is really awesome, it's great fun and the atmosphere is super friendly. I can say without reservation it's the best fest I've ever been to. I'm not sure how much weight you can put on the last.fm lineup, as they normally announce everything on their Facebook first, and they haven't yet posted anything but the logo. One of my friends went last year and said the same thing. As for the lineup, they posted a link from a website that posted the first set of bands a while ago, and Marnost self confirmed on their website. I'm pretty sure they would've said something if a lot of what has been posted so far was unreliable. Unfortunately Comadre cancelled their euro tour so they are no longer on the bill (I assume). I am really hoping that they book Ampere because I am not super into emo-violence or whatever you want to call the more abrasive screamo stuff, but I am loving the hell out of Like Shadows at the moment. (Yes, I have listened to Orchid, and whilst I like Gatefold, I don't like it as much as Ampere's stuff at the moment).

Screamo recs: June Paik (sorry if everyone already knows these guys, I kind of get confused as to what is known and loved and what isn't) Esazlesa Aussitot Mort (maybe more on the post-rock side of things, but still worth mentioning. Tel Fyr//Todos Caer 12" split Coming soon and sounds very promising. Sidenote: I am really enjoying the new Caravels album. It seems a lot more subdued than other screamo I've listened to. I can't really explain it, but they sound quite different to most of the other stuff I've listened to which is very firey and passionate. Given that these guys were recommended to me as "like PBTT but not as good", I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. e: Everything on Aussitot Mort's bandcamp is free right now, so if you have any gaps in your discography: GOGOGO! nomapple fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Apr 6, 2013 |

RE: Fluff lineup: MARTYRDOD!!!! Also the Code Orange Kids/TWIABPAIANATD/Tigers Jaw/Self Defence Family split is really good. Also, everyone listen to the Tel Fyr / Todos Caerán Split LP if you like the more "epic" variety or screamo. Although I hate the description of "progressive black metal influenced screamo", I won't lie, it sounds awesome.

RYYSZLA posted:Noob checking in, Me and my friend have been jamming this stuff for a little while, and Im not quite sure how to categorize it, so here's a link to a song on youtube (us jamming in a bedroom) and I was wondering if you all could give me some feedback on it. The "band"'s name is "Ryyszla", and this is by far the least heavy/noisy of all the stuff i've written - let me know what you think, and whether or not this is the right place for it (cos it sure aint metal?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiH8XRzUCDw I'm personally not a massive fan of the breakdown-y bit, but the rest of it was alright. It'd probably be a lot better with vocals as I'm sorry to say, it wasn't that interesting as an instrumental piece. I have no experience writing music but I'm sure you'll improve. Are you planning to add vocals at all? Also I dunno if this would be better off in the Musician's Lounge subforum?

Shoulda mentioned poo poo sound quality beforehand eh? thanks for the feedback. Im actually working on getting a listenable version of this recorded, but it takes me forever to do things as that drummer is unreliable as gently caress and I can never be bothered to play them myself haha. Make sure you check out Tel Fyr as well, they describe themselves as being influenced by progressive black metal although it is a bit more subtle than WCOLT. I'll add a link when I'm not on my phone, but I posted recently in this thread about their split with Todos Caeren and left a link so you might be able to find that. Also I assume you're listening to Deafheaven? I didn't think much of their first album but I saw them live the other night and I think Sunbather is going to be amazing. They have a similar sense of melody to Envy but play it in a black metal style so far as drums/vocals/guitar tone are concerned. It's like a black metal/screamo hybrid or a summery black metal album and I am really excited to hear the rest of it.

This is the music forum why do we need a huge megathread of jumbled genres that aren't even the same sounding really. There's a "metal" thread which mostly covers death/thrash/progressive/trad/power metal and variations of all the above, there's a black metal thread, a doom/stoner thread, this thread, and a metalcore/deathcore thread. I think any more division is just going to get silly. It's not like any of these threads are particularly fast moving.

The EP is really heavy and the songs/riffs are really good. 20 minutes is the perfect length for a tough guy HxC release in my book.

I'm also glad that they still have songs in their older style present as well, it's a great mix of the two IMO. I can't wait to hear this stuff live.
