rgrdgr Karnage posted:I'm really enjoying Constellations by August Burns Red. I never could get into any of their previous work, but they seem to have stepped up the songwriting on this album. Seconding the awesomeness of Tommy Rogers on Indonesia. Constellations didn't impress me, it seemed to me as a dumbed down version of Messengers. If you like their sound, you might like Blind Witness. The vocal is more brutal but it shares the "Breakdown over Melody" construction. On another note, my two favorite albums of the year in the -Core department up to now are - Impending Doom - The Serpent Legion A whole lot of breakdowns, and very brutal. The riffs aren't all that interesting but it does its job as a placebo while I'm waiting for the next Whitechapel album. House Vs Hurricane - Forfeiture I might get bashed for liking Trendcore, but this Progressive Post-Hardcore band really impressed me. Their songs all sound very distinct and they have very surprising/interesting elements to them.

TheIneff posted:Is the new Job For a Cowboy album Ruination worth listening to? Erf, they aren't -Core anymore. They went from being a top Deathcore band to an average Technical Death Metal band. Listened 2-3 of their new songs while the album was on free streaming on myspace. Good stuff but nothing incredible...

The Dirtyness posted:Also I'm patiently waiting for a possible new album from As Blood Runs Black. Wikipedia has it listed as 2009 but I'm not too hopeful as I haven't heard anything about it. If you haven't heard their album Allegiance you should check it out. Erf... that album wasn't all that great. It had some great breakdowns, I admit but the riffing is simply too generic and I felt like I was listening to the same song over and over. They simply never step out of the C Minor Natural scale... If that's your kind of Deathcore, tough, you might like At The Throne Of Judgment , The Black Dahlia Murder (no breakdowns though, only great riffing) and Here Comes The Kraken .

Major Burns posted:Wait, how are these guys considered deathcore? They don't have any of the deathcire "traits" (pig squeels,breakdowns etc.) Simply the type of riffing. Technically, it would be "Dark Metal" which is an obscure genre of which At The Gates was the leader. But nowadays, the name has more or less disapeared (go figure  ) and people think that the type of riffing typical to Metalcore/Deathcore originated with the genre.

Zodijackylite posted:AtG were one of the bands that defined melodic death metal, I haven't heard them described otherwise except by whiny kids who call them metalcore. I don't even know what "dark metal" is supposed to be, because the term is incredibly ambiguous - I have seen it used to describe blackened death metal, fairly straight black/death/doom, and a lot of the time to describe bands that sound more like Christian Death or Sisters of Mercy than a metal band. Well, yeah, the ambiguity is one of the reasons as to why the name disapeared. I've read about the "Dark Metal" genre in a critique of Nocturnal I've read. Fake edit - Okay, I've done some researches.. the guy had probably pulled that one out of his rear end. Sorry 'bout the confusion. krustster posted:Black Dahlia Murder is just a melodic death metal band that appeals to the metalcore crowd for some unknown reason (I like them but I don't see the connection) Same kind of riffing and of vocal work...

the Bunt posted:What the hell is crabcore? What does that infer? The actual names are "Trendcore" or "NintendoCore", the genre is so ridiculous that there's not really a serious name for it yet. Musically, it's simply Metalcore or Deathcore, with the addition of electronica elements. Often, it takes the form of a keyboard with a 8-Bit sound, hence the name NintendoCore.  The name Crabcore originates from the position of the bassist in an Attack Attack videoclip for Stick Stickly.

Misogynist posted:Blah blah Whitechapel sucks What have you got against them? I'll admit that I like metalcore in general, but I can make the difference between good metalcore/deathcore (Whitechapel, Despised Icon, Carnifex,Blind Witness, August Burns Red) and bad one (Oceano, Underneath The Gun, The Crimson Armada, Emmure). I'd like you to explain your point of view on Whitechapel as to why they should be considered as sucky? As for Suicide Silence, 4 months ago, I would have defended them, but their new album is just so god drat awful.

mr.vj posted:I wrote a review on https://www.metal-jerks.com (goon-run metal review site) for This Is Exile, and I tried my best to review the music fairly, and so far from the people that I know of who read it seemed to agree with me on all points. I will say that Whitechapel do know how to play their instruments, but know nothing about interesting song structures. Well, I kind of agree with you on some point, but I still feel as if you first looked at the album as "just another chug chug chug deathcore album" while it is quite more than that. While I know that music and art in general is a matter of opinions, I think it diminishing for Whitechapel to be put in the same bag as Suicide Silence, Emmure and Winds of Plague. While it is true that they have a lot of breakdowns and mosh-riffs, I feel like they're all pretty strong, and deserved to be; not that they were simply put there to reach the idiotic moshcore fanbase. Not many of their riffs are noticeable but there are some pretty drat solid ones. I won't get too much into details, but that album is a solid 8-8.5/10 for me. While on that subject, has All Shall Perish already been mentionned in this thread? Their last album gets pretty dull after the 5th track, but The Price Of Existence has been #1 of my top ten metalcore/deathcore list for about a year and a half now. I expect it to remain there until the next BTBAM. Also, about BMTH: Yes, they are assholes, but no, their music doesn't suck for that reason. I thought Count Your Blessings to be a very decent album but Suicide Season is uter garbage. Anyway, if you like them, you might like Miss May I. I don't like them all that much, but it might fall in someone else's tastes.

mr.vj posted:Music is dead. I get your point about comparing them to bands you know, but deathcore is clearly not your field of expertise (in fact, you openly hate the genre). So, your field of knowledge of the genre is pretty limited, and according to your comparisons, pretty lovely. If I were to write a review of let's say a CD by Immortal, and I'd compare them to Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and Burzum, because they are the only three Black Metal bands I know of... I'd get loving crucified. I'm not trying to be all childish and to shield them against criticism, but I think your view on metalcore and deathcore was pretty clear before you even started your review. You're no expert of the genre, and you (at least it seems through your review and your posts) can't and won't try to understand it. I won't review technical death metal CDs or Black Metal CDs because I see them as RANDOM SHREDDING and as TREMOLO PICKING AND STUPID ORGAN/CHOIRS, and I know my view wouldn't reflect that of a fan of the genre or even an unbiaised third party. Music ain't dead, your old school death metal is what's dying. Finally, because I'm not a complete rear end in a top hat and I'm feeling generous go listen to https://www.myspace.com/archons and https://www.myspace.com/descendintonothingness for some good melodic/technical underground death metal. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. On another note, my band's going on tour with The Agonist and Mythosis in October. Check us up on myspace if you want https://www.myspace.com/obsek . (I know, the two songs on there aren't extraordinary, we've got an album coming tho, and it's 300x better than these two songs).

Good god, these guys all sound great but great hell is it hard to legally (or even illegally) find their stuff. As for Misery Signals, I really don't dig them all that much. I can see how they can be the progression of 7a7p, but it really lacks the emotional intensity that it had. Also, a great point about 7a7p was the fact that they could make some very very melodic parts without them being necessarily gay, Misery Signals fails at that. (At least on the last album, do they do the same on earlier ones?)

Playing with Winds of Plague, pretty generic Deathcore band with the hot-chick-as-keyboardist thing which is dumb and cliche but I enjoy them. I love how you bitched everyone on their taste in Metalcore but yet listen to WOP, what I consider to embody everything wrong with the scene. As for CoC, I don't see what you guys see in them, to me they just sound like a rip-off of early BoO. I've only heard their Ep tho, I might check the album and come back to you.

Here are two pretty decent discoveries I've made this week : Yesterday I Had Roadkill Pretty cliché band, but they incorporate elements from every sub-genres of deathcore (yes, even crabcore) and it turns into a pretty interesting demo, give it a listen. http://www.myspace.com/yesterdayihadroadkill Fat Man's War Face This one's a lot less cliché, I'd say they sound like an extreme Unearth. The German accent on the spoken parts is pretty terrible but the music is very good nonetheless. http://www.myspace.com/fmwf And heck, I was going to post about and promote a local band, but the videoclip at the top of their myspace page is just soooo cheesy I have changed my mind. Still, it's worth seeing for a chuckle http://www.myspace.com/executethesinner

(Wears a Winds of Plague T-shirt) As far as crabcore goes, I'd say that is good crabcore, pretty drat fun to listen to anyway (I don't think any crabcore band take themselves seriously)

elbkaida posted:I hadn't heard them before, without the cheesy synths it would probably be OK, but now it's just corny as hell. Well, in my opinion, the synth is the only good thing about that band. Otherwise their riffs are completely generic and uninspired, not to talk about their breakdowns. My reasons to hate them are simple, they are overhyped, their new album is terrible (their first one was OK to me), and their singer is a utter douchebag who believes he's straight out of 8Miles.

The production is perfect. I really dig the sound of your bass drum. As for the songs themselves, you guys are pretty drat good. Without being overly original, you really manage to have your own sound. I like the fact that you don't have any over-announced breakdowns. The only downpoint that I see is the fact that the first song of your EP starts with the only riff I dislike. It just seems that the second part of the lead never comes in at the same point, it pisses me off. Where are you guys from? I could get you some gigs in Quebec

My band's album is finally out, and since we're only selling them at shows, I'm pretty sure you guys will never get a chance to buy it. So, here's a Something Awful exclusive free download link for the full album. Feedbacks are more than welcome. If you want some info about the music before downloading, I'd qualify the music we do as Melodic Deathcore, with a slight twist. As the main composer for the band, my main influences are As I Lay Dying, Black Dahlia Murder, and pretty much all the music I've ever listened to. http://rapidshare.com/files/402776950/Obsek_-_Traumatic_Experiment.rar.html If you really like the album, add us on Myspace @ https://www.myspace.com/obsek (If you've listened to the last AILD album and notice similarities between the breakdown at the end of Then, I Relapse and AILD's Anodyne Sea's breakdown, think that our album was recorded before they even entered studio for that album, and that we had sent some rough tracks to Tim Lambesis (their singer) for him to give us a price for mastering our album. Coincidence? I do think so.)

My only gripe is it kind of sounds sorta generic-y, but not to the point of spoiling it. I'll listen to some of the other songs before I give a final opinion. A'right, thanks for the kind words. You'll see that the other songs are less generic-y... Well, I hope you'll think so. Give a listen to Toadstool, I think it's our most progressive one.
