Oh also one of the guys from Pig Destroyer has formed his own baseball grind band called Kolten Wong City, so the cycle is complete and everything is good.

I'm an old head but I will probably never stop playing It Dies Today's first two tapes and god drat if this isn't still one of the heaviest loving joints ever committed to record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-IQPf8EwD4 The Caitiff Choir may be the GOAT metalcore album, do not @ me

Inspector_666 posted:This Everytime I Die sucks, whereas this Every Time I Die rules. I think it was when I heard Low Teens for the first time the morning after purchasing it (had it pre-ordered and paid for from Google Play) as I was jogging that morning and I realized how... not necessarily creepy, but loving alien it sounds at times. Then I heard the "It Remembers", "Petal" and "The Coin Has a Say" trio of songs all in the space of like 9 minutes and said: "gently caress this namby-pamby, second-guessing bullshit" and I started singing the praises of these mo'fos whenever possible. Also, they should do that weird, creepy Drop A-A tuning they do in like 4 songs more often because goddamn does it rip.

I don't know how to classify ETID. They're sort of like a hardcore/metal/grimy rock hybrid. We should maybe just refer to them as Partycore. ETID are probably the most front to back consistently good band I've ever listened to. They just don't miss. They're a phenomenal time live, good dudes, and just plain fun. We should all be thankful every day they keep touring and making new music for us.

I don't know if they still were with Ferret or were already with Epitaph, but I remember reading "A dumb, fun tailgating party meets Charles Bronson movies" copy-write somewhere and I thought "that's like the most accurate description of these guys' sound ever".

There's a couple of bands that also kind of do that grimy southern rock thing; off the top of my head He Is Legend does it but not nearly as heavy, and the very first Memphis May Fire EP was this awesome southern rock/metalcore blend that they never came close to again.

Keith is in general one of the best lyricists in the game, but, gawd-dayum, he can write some fantastic lyrics when his wife has a near death experience.

Also like a poo poo-ton of literary references because if someone can absolutely wreck Dustin from Thrice when it comes to referencing poems, books and whatnot, it's the Buckley that screams.

Oh wow, I had no idea Moor was about his wife. I knew that a lot of Low Teens was about the entire experience of his kid's birth having a ton of complications.

fun fact, he was taught (at least partly) how to do his vocals safely by Melissa Cross, who's worked with a ton of different metal vocalists https://melissacross.com/voice_lesson_testimonials.php (looks like he might have worked w/her between the release of Hot drat and Gutter Phenomenon, and his voice does sound a bit different on every record after Hot drat)

Wamsutta posted:Yikes! I was still in college, a friend and I took the Commuter Rail out there with the plan "We'll figure it out" on how to get back. There were some dudes in the crowd for the opening bands who were either serious straight edge or actual Nazis going by their tattoos (most of them seemed to leave by the time Converge came on) and when we went back outside it was just in time to see a dude be thrown face first from the bar on the first floor, who then proceeded to lay on the sidewalk and bleed for a while. It cost us around $90 for a cab back to campus.

Not metalcore but seeing lightning bolt at Talking Head (Baltimore) which the venue oversold so the band played in the alley outside until the cops showed Wait was the question about bands who weren’t giving it their all, or were? Because they definitely were Best core show was dillinger’s last Bmore show

When I saw Turnstile security dragged someone out for diving into the crowd off the second floor balcony. Other than that, probably any of the dozenish times I've seen ETID. I expected ETID/SftP/Terror to be crazy (and the show was great) but the crowd was pretty lame. ETID/letlive/Code Orange was pretty rowdy. ETID/Knocked Loose/Harms Way was fun, too. Basically just go watch ETID a lot. Or if local shows count we have a band called The Torture Store that used to have at least one belligerent drunk leave in an ambulance every show. They're putting together some new material which sounds pretty solid so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHnGl96a9bI

I was at a Red Chord/Darkest Hour/Converge show and during Converge someone dove from the balcony and had to get stretchered out while they kept playing. Also I remember seeing First Blood/Comeback Kid/Ignite back in like 2005 or 2006 and everyone was super concerned about the possibility of some kind of violence during First Bloods set but it all ended up being pretty ok and then some kid slipped right by the stage and smashed the back of his head on the stage, that was a pretty bad one, I remember them trying to clean up the blood between sets. Think that venue shut down pretty quick after that.

When I saw the Chariot at Bled Fest everybody seemed to turn into a meathead and some guy got in a fist fight with security before running away. Both times I’ve seen Power Trip their pits took the up the entire floor, but Reggie’s has a pretty good system for keeping people safe in the pit. I did have to sidestep a full can of PBR thrown across the venue at the end of one show.
