Travis Orbin is God on the drums. I don't know why I never posted this in here before, but everyone needs to check out one of his (many, many) other projects, Of Legends.

Here's Travis playing one of my favorite Of Legends tunes

Yeah, but BTBAM has been big for a while now.

Though, I guess AAL wasn't nearly as popular as they are nowadays. And I hadn't even heard of Tesseract back then and they are all over.

Have I earned myself some sort of hater status in this thread? Haha.. I actually never gave the new BYD a listen when I first said I would but I decided to give it a once over since I got called out.

I don't hate it but I really don't care about it either. It sounds too produced, I don't like the guitar tone and I hate when vocalists overlap their own vocals so that the next verse starts before the previous one fully stops. Even Vincent from The Acacia Strain does this a lot lately and I just think it feels cheap. One of my favorite songs off of Continent is Seaward and the part at the end that goes "I curse like a loving sailor" is so overlapped that it would be impossible to perform live, so they don't. Anyway, there's a lot of that going on from what I've heard in this BYD album. All of their stuff is available on Spotify and after You Had Me At Hello it's pretty much all downhill from there. Just listening to the very first track off of Cover Your Tracks you can hear how produced it sounds.

Also, the "Bury your loving dead" chant in Mosh N Roll, the original version, has all this hootin and hollerin going on in the back and it just sounds so genuine. The new version is all serious with this loving minute-long feedback build up all like "look how serious we are, this chant is SERIOUS BUSINESS!"

To me, this sounds like old-style thrash metal. I guess it's kinda hardcore too.

Holy gently caress.... Emmure goes even deeper into guilty pleasure mode. I think that even more embarrassing than smoking weed through bandanas wrapped around their faces is the fact that the singer is doing trigger pulling hand gestures as if he goes around killing people. What a loving toolbag.

It's the price I like to pay for seeing Gwar too! I don't know why but as much as I like seeing Gwar, anything more than $30 seems a bit much. This time I can go for $20 and I finally get to see ETID. I can't think of a good reason NOT to go to this.

Hahaha! Oh my god, this is hilarious. All the elements of this are just horrible and they beauty is they're all horrible in different ways. You got the awful and unfitting white boy gangster style video, you got a song name that could be a nerdcore song and then you got lyrics that seem to e ripped from a NuMetal band. This is a beautiful thing.

I thought to qualify as metalcore you have to include at least two ripped off riffs from Slaughter of the Souls or something, so this fails the test, I guess!

:eng101: That's only to qualify as Göteborg metal(core). So every Black Dahlia Murder record has 2+ riffs ripped from Slaughter of the Soul, but Unearth don't bother.

Traitorous Leopard posted:

It sure did, such a great finale for ATG.

Not really metalcore, but I love a lot of bands that are similar to ATG.

Casketgarden are basically ATG worship, mid 2000s melodic death/thrash metal. They borrow a ton of riffs from ATG and remind me of Nightrage's "Sweet Vengeance".

Eucharist's "Mirrorworlds" as well as their debut and second demo are among my favorites of the Gothenburg scene - they bear a lot of similarities to ATG, but I'd say they were less vocal-centric and the guitar work was a bit more focused on melody.

Sacrilege put out two great albums too, more melody/less groove than ATG. Quite a bit of acoustic/clean work, lots of riffing too that shows a bit of the earlier days of Swedish DM (Stockholm scene).

weapon finesse: my dong
Speaking of metalcore bands and their love affair with Swedish guitar leads, Gideon is a newer band with a couple of choruses that sound like they they were lifted from a mid-2000s melodic death metal band. I imagine them being in a song by Sonic Syndicate or something.

I'm an unabashed Emmure fan, but gently caress, every single one of their music videos are just absolutely terrible. Surprisingly, Frankie's actually a kind of nice guy, at least as far as the few moments that I talked to him are concerned. I told him I enjoyed the show after a concert and he gave me a pretty sincere thank you and a handshake. Jesse on the other hand is a lot more... distant?



Also gently caress yes for living in Boston. Dillinger Escape Plan, BTBAM, and Animals as Leaders all under one roof? Holy loving poo poo yes. Also Dredg randomly will be there too, who I don't think really fit with the lineup, but I immensely enjoy as well.

I saw Stray and letlive. a few weeks back and it was awesome. I'm a big fan of both bands and they both kill it live. I don't know how many times I've listened to Make Your Own History, so I'm pretty excited for some new Stray jams.

Shiiiiiit! I am officially jealous. I love Gridlink and Maruta... The hosed up part, however, is that even if they were here, I couldn't afford to go. :(

gently caress me.

On a lighter note, check out Exogorth from Seattle, WA. Pretty rad DIY grind. I'm doing work with these guys over the next couple of months, we're launching a three vocalist grind assault. It's gonna be fun thing.
