Normally just prefer to lurk in this here sub-forum. I'm normally just tend to listen to the most mainstream djent/metal/deathcore and while I previously never had the August Burns Red bug, by mere coincidence this came as part of my youtube recs (huge music gear dork)...

... and now I'm jonesing to know what's the name of the song in the first 40 seconds or so.

It was indeed the initial lead. It kinda reminded me of a less... um, spastic-ky Periphery? I mean, I love the heck out of Periphery, but sometimes the sudden tone shifts between sparkly cleans and heavy riffery need me to be in a very specific mood, otherwise I just feel like bailing or listening to something a bit less jumpy. Well, relatively speaking.

By mainstream I think I meant like Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan, Darkest Hour, Converge, Killswitch Engage. Y'know, older stuff, I guess. :corsair:

Finally heard Amo in full, and here's the thing: It's a mostly OK record but coming from a band with a relatively strong catalog, it does feel like a huge step backwards and I don't see myself revisiting it as much as I do with There is a Hell... or even the previous That's the Spirit.

So then horizons was album 1?
Eh, both This Is What... and Count Your Blessings were borderline garbage with some slight promise. Like, as far as UK modern metal/heavy rock bands were concerned, they were slightly better than Bullet for My Valentine, Lostprophets and Funeral for a Friend, but that's feels like damning with faint praise, tbh.

Everything after those two varied between somewhat decent (Suicide Season), pretty darn good (That's the Spirit and Sempiternal) and loving rad (There is a Hell...). So far, Amo felt kinda like a step back after TTS, but maybe I'll warm up to it. Also, both Tesseract and Architects can eat them for breakfast as far as rad discographies go.

He's basically the complete opposite of Tosin in my opinion. While I know they're both incredibly proficient with the instrument, AAL tends to bore me in long doses (their last album has grown on me to the point that I actually listen to it fully fairly often, though), but IRL? An incredible gentleman and an absolute blast of a human being.

OTOH, Jason's jams are more up in my alley but by jove is he an insufferable fuckbin.

Code Orange and Knocked Loose definitely have more of an "edge" to them in terms of music style. I always associated PTW as being more melodic post-hardcore with breakdowns or whatever. KL is straight up mosh hardcore and CO are weirdo industrial nu-metal with breakdowns.

Dissonant hardcore is the closest I can think in terms of the PTW sound. I really love Axis and you should listen to them regardless:

Every Time I Die is one of my favorite bands period, and for like a decade I was kinda reluctant in listing them as one of my all-time faves because of every other "angry" guitar band I held in a pedestal (Fugazi, Sabbath, Voivod, Sleater-Kinney, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Soundgarden, 90's Helmet, you get the idea), because of my own stupid hipster BS train of thought.

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.

What's this about?
Some of the most incredibly powerful lyrics that Keith has written (Revival Mode off Ex-Lives, Moor off FPU and almost everything off of Low Teens) were influenced by things that happened to his wife. Like 80 or 90 percent of the lyrics of Low Teens are influenced by Keith trying to come to terms with the possibility that either he was going to lose his wife, his unborn daughter or both.

This is crazy, I had no idea. Keith is really an A+ vocalist both in his lyrics and delivery. I don't know how he's been doing his thing for 20 years now without absolutely destroying his vocal cords. I get that there's a lot of technique involved in this style, but he makes it seem easy and has a sense of urgency in his delivery that makes everything hit so hard. Still haven't seem them live. On the bucket list for sure.
Dude actually lost his voice during the recording of From Parts Unknown due to laryngitis and fell into a funk as a result. When he came back after almost two weeks, he actually finished recording the rest of the record in something rock-gently caress insane like 8 hours.

Dude is a great writer, as well.

For me it was It Dies Today and The Acacia Strain in CBGBs (RIP). That place was way too fuckin small for that show, it ruled
Soilwork started touring the U.S. while promoting Natural Born Chaos, IIRC. I remember wanting to go see them at one of their tour stops, since the lineup was something rock-gently caress insane: It was Hypocrisy, Soilwork, Unearth and I think Chimaira? But alas, it wasn't meant to be due to the fact that my band was also on tour and we needed money.

Then I heard that Thrice was doing a number of showcases at around the same time. There was one at the Chain Reaction and it coincided with one of our many multi-day breaks. So I got in on that.

I almost died during "Phoenix Ignition". It rocked. :rock:

It's really hard to forget the scene of Jordan dry humping another dude while wearing nothing but a towel and his sneakers. :cawg:

Back to "times I almost got killed by some crazy rando on tour/going to shows", I also remember that one time my previous band played at the same venue with Darkest Hour (our gig was actually a few hours earlier since it required no ID; theirs did, otherwise you'd get bracelet'd) and since I had kept correspondence with John (singer) and Tito (tour manager), they asked us if we could help them with junk since Mike's (guitar player and I think the only OG member left from DH) amps were down for the count. Since Tito has always been a solid dude with a poo poo-ton of people, it was a no-brainer and I loaned them my Mark IV head.

I remember I was opening the van's door when out of nowhere, some loving nutjob chucked an empty glass bottle near my head and I remember both Tito and Paul (former DH bassist) shoving the motherfucker outta there. It was probably among the scariest loving things that have ever happened to me because, like, I've never met that guy who pulled that poo poo and he decided that my head was a loving piñata and tried to crack it open.
