Bagsack posted:Whoa, didn't mean to cross the genre streams there. I think the vocal styles of The Faceless and Veil of Maya, their production and the general atmosphere of their music puts those bands in a very similar musical niche. Check out "When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong" off of Goodbye to Gallows. poo poo gets a little nuts during that song live. "Tales from the Burg" tends to be good live too. Cross over Attack is loving insane. Jesus.

I am going to listen to the new Emmure joint b/c I turned out to enjoy Speaker of the Dead. Felony is a hilariously bad shitpile from front to back however. I did enjoy their first two "tapes" back when they became a thing. Complete Guide To Needlework EP and also Goodbye To The Gallows.... owns. However the one with big homey Kurt Angle on the cover was basically one long 30 minute song as near as I can tell.

The new singles sound good. They're through and through Emmure. I would go see them live if it wasn't for the fanbase. :/

The new Emmure is mainly excellent with some low points (basically any song in which they try to be melodic/deviate from their brutality formula). Overall it's a solid thing to listen to while lifting weights or whatever. My favorite joint on there is for sure the one about Deadpool. Track 3?

Ceruleus is a local Daytona Beach FL based djent/deathcore group that you guys should check out. They just released their first EP yesterday and it is fuckin groovy. I think some of you guys will dig it. http://ceruleusband.bandcamp.com/ very solid work all around. my fav track is Mariana but the whole thing is real nice. (also check out my band Contacting Nebulas. we're a little more removed from the -core scene but some of you might like our EP, it's more prog-death/mathcore) http://contactingnebulas.bandcamp.com/album/imaginary-images the Bunt fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Apr 22, 2012 |

I think it's heavy and awesome as gently caress. That's all there really is to say. I'm not a huge fan of the way the vocals sound though for some reason. I always thought Vincent sounded best on The Dead Walk. ShoogaSlim fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Apr 25, 2012 |

I am so thoroughly crestfallen that I'm at work right now and can't listen to new Strain, F U C K My favorite band for 8 years, I haven't disliked anything they've made but do think Wormwood lost a step from Continent edit: I just ran outside to listen to this on my phone sans-headphones and it owns so loving hard and I think I already like it more than any song on Wormwood Wamsutta fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Apr 25, 2012 |

It seems that The Acacia Strain lost their swagger. The doomy, droning sound of Wormwood didn't really work for them, and the Meshuggah-wannabe riffs are as uninteresting as Meshuggah have been for a decade. I think DL is trying to lock into one slow groove for a whole song, but it doesn't work out. Feels like they've lost the fun element of their music and they're trying to be too serious, just aiming to be as heavy as possible with bending grooves on an eight string, like if 'Skynet' stayed on the first riff for three minutes.

I like the new song but I do agree with this. They were a lot more "fun" on 3750/TDW/Continent.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:You guys really didn't think Wormwood was fun? The lyrics have always been violent with a bunch of silly one-liners thrown in that lighten the mood and make it a bit more entertaining. The vocal variation was pretty strong up through Continent too, which helped that out. Wormwood was just straight angry/misanthropic lyrics and mostly monotonous guttural growls, which is lame and I've heard a hundred metal bands doing exactly the same thing. It feels like they're ironing out all the nuances that used to make their music great and set them apart. I'm also sick of hearing bands who are trying to be Meshuggah, because Meshuggah are boring enough already and most of the wannabes can't even jerk off in 25/16 time over a 4/4 beat. quote:Also, is most of RAS Acacia Strain fans? It would seem so.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:You guys really didn't think Wormwood was fun? Wormwood is weird. The first four tracks are fun and remind me of some older Strain, then the rest of it transitions into "overly serious, badass, evil, plodding riffage" mode. I usually listen to tracks 1-4 and also Bay of Pigs + The Carpathian when I play Wormwood. Go Rangers

One of the oddities I noticed on Wormwood was in the thanks list. Vincent thanked Dylan Carlson of drone doom/post-rock band Earth as well as Al Cisneros and Matt Pike of the stoner doom band Sleep. The name "Matt Pike" appears four times on Vincent's thanks list, and they also work with a booking agent by the same name at The Kenmore Agency. There's another Matt Pike who works as a roadie with some metal bands, so I suppose there's a running gag about all these guys with the same name. It's weird to see the straightedge frontman thanking the dudes who are noted for writing the 63-minute epic Dopesmoker, but it does show some influences for the band integrating a death/doom sound to their brand of hardcore.

I'm glad you like them as much as you do. It truly is a shame the album was released at the end of December, missing out on all the year's-best list appearances...they'd have so much more exposure. The 40 seconds starting here are just magical (though obviously the whole song is great). Hell, the only reason I'd even heard of the band is from regularly checking reading a metal review blog (From the Dust Returned, run by the Penny Arcade metal community, primarily autothrall). The reviewer gave The Long Procession a 9.5 out of 10. Optimum Gulps fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Apr 27, 2012 |

Heh brother it was posted even before that,,,I was trying to get people to listen to it like a year ago  but yah it owns, real bad. Acacia Strain does sound a lot different nowadays but I like it. I'm glad they haven't been doing just the same thing over and over. They aren't quite as funny but there's still good lines like "you shouldn't be outside in your condition/ she shouldn't be walking in her... condition!" The guy who said Wormwood was boring should be shot though.

I loving love the ending to Servant. "I will die laughing" sounds so unbelievably evil. brother, I lifted weights with that song on repeat for an hour on Wednesday e: by far my biggest issue with newer Strain is Vincent's absolute insistence that 99% of the lyrics in a given song have to be rhymes. Son of a bitch, it's so forced and annoying. Take the lyrics from 3750, Dead Walk or Continent and put them up against Wormwood or the new song. No contest. The forced rhyming will just never sound right to me. Wamsutta fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Apr 27, 2012 |

I remember when I first saw TAS live I had no idea who they were but I couldn't help but have a blast because Vincent was telling dead baby jokes in between songs and at one point said he wanted the entire audience to poo poo in their pants (what I now know is something he says/said during Brown Noise, appropriately enough). I saw them again at New England Metalfest a long rear end time ago and still didn't know them all that well but I just went off because they were super fun. I miss The Dead Walk era Strain which is my favorite album. Live they are still always fantastic but they're definitely getting slower and heavier on recording. My bigger gripe is that Vincent used to stand out as one of my favorite vocalists but his style has changed slightly over the years and on the new song I feel like it's very "blah". I was a fan of the older style. Speaking of "blah" the fact that he does that at the end of the song gives me such a boner. My favorite vocalist thing and I'm pretty sure he was influenced by Stray From the Path who does it in abundance.

How am I just finding out about Return From Exile? This band loving kicks rear end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RnfL6Sm8AQ Edit: Also, as an unabashed Emmure fan since Goodbye to the Gallows, I'm loving this new album so far. I'm glad a lot of people are digging it Etoo. Edit 2: Just listened to the whole thing, gotta say that Blackheart Reigns is my favorite track off there. The breakdown that comes in around the 2 minute mark is just too good. "WELCOME TO HELL" reversefungi fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Apr 30, 2012 |

Please note that I am not generally a deathcore fan, I went because it was a local show and a friend wanted someone to go with. This is very much an outsider's perspective. Last night I went to see Veil of Maya on tour with Betraying the Martyrs, Vildjhrata, Structures and Volumes. I normally wouldn't go to a gig like this because I am very selective when it comes to anything that could me construed as tech metal or the dirty word "metalcore" *shudder*, but it was quite an enjoyable evening. Volumes got a great crowd reaction considering they were first on, and the dual vocalists had a very good stage presence. I didn't think there was anything particularly special about their music, but it sounded massive and heavy in a live environment. Next up were Structures. These guys were alright, but not as good as Volumes. The clean vocals sounded a bit dodgy live, and there were sub drops all over the place that were clipping horribly. They still had some good energy though, which was shown by the response they got in the pit. I have literally, never seen anything like it. Arm swingers battling invisible ninjas everywhere, one guy even did a cartwheel across the pit. I had no idea what the gently caress was going on. The pit action was far more entertaining to watch than the band themselves. Vildjhrata probably got the least enthusiastic reaction from the crowd, but were musically my favourite. They had very dark, atmospheric sounds woven with the djent chug, and they sounded spectacularly heavy. Then Betraying the Martyrs hit the stage. Honestly, the less said about them the better. "Epic Christian Deathcore" should be all you need to know. Hideous. Veil of Maya were good but they only played for 40 minutes, which is kind of unacceptable if you're headlining and have something like 3 albums worth of material. I would also have liked to hear more off the new album, but they still put on a good show.
