XIII posted:The Devil Wears Prada, Every Time I Die, Oh, Sleeper, and letlive. just announced tour dates together. Pretty stoked about it. I just bought tickets to one of the shows just to see Every Time I Die. I've never listened to any of the other bands, where should I start? Also this is a dumb question but I've never been to a metal show before, are they as fun as I think they are? I like high energy crowds and rocking out.

I'd start with letlive. I got hooked on them last year and my love for them quickly spread throughout my friends. I like Oh, Sleeper a lot and I'm kinda meh about TDWP. Regarding shows: some are blast, some aren't. It depends a lot on the crowd. I will say that both ETID and ll. put on AWESOME shows.

You don't get started on those other bands because they all loving suck. Speaking of Oh, Sleeper my boy's band got put on to their NYC show this weekend along with Skip the Foreplay and Falling in Reverse. Even though all those bands are terrible, they're huge so I'm stoked for my buddies.

I'm not particularly found of the TDWP's high vocals. Also, their drummer's footwork is super crisp, but a lot of times the hand parts are kinda lackluster. Little details though. Hasn't stopped me from enjoying a lot of their jams.

Everything before "With Roots Above" is poop if you ask me, and they're terrible live (or they were the two times I saw them, before that album came out). But... their newer stuff is really good. The vocals are a little on the computerized side though.

I've noticed this with a lot of bands in -core genres, I think it just lends itself to it unfortunately. So much emphasis is placed on footwork that the hands almost seem like an afterthought. This is part of why I like Black Dahlia Murder so much; their drummer does some really good stuff on Deflorate and Ritual. Shannon Lucas was also in All That Remains when they wrote and recorded The Fall Of Ideals and it really shows in that album; the drums are really loving good.

While I'm not a big fan of The Black Dahlia Murder, I do really like Shannon Lucas and I didn't know he was drumming for them now. After a quick Wikipedia search, I see he joined in 07 and that I'm massively behind the times. One thing I REALLY like about letlive. is that, while I love riff driven bands (ETID), they aren't your typical riff-riff-breakdown-riff band. The guitar work isn't out of this world, but their rhythm section is awesome. They really aren't "heavy" enough for this thread, even though I've mentioned them a time or two, but I highly recommend people check them out. EDIT: Now, with more links! Here's two letlive. songs for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTR4iLjKM7w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXURelyq2fo XIII fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Jan 27, 2012 |

And it's only made worse by their constant preaching and their annoying as hell fans. But I 100% agree that their more recent stuff is pretty good. And for anyone who hates them, please check out their newish EP, Zombie. It seriously has to be the best thing they have ever done, and I'm incredibly disappointed it didn't end up a full length album. Also, as weird as this sounds (even though this was recently brought up), does anyone have anything like Bring Me the Horizon without the high-pitch vocals? Anything near them with those vocals makes me rage like nothing else, but BMTH just hits right with me. Pilfered Pallbearers fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Jan 29, 2012 |

Hi guys it's my first time in this topic I just want to say Converge is the poo poo. Anytime I listen to No Heroes I want to break something  Such an awesome band, anyone know of any other metalcore like Converge that consists of mostly structureless songs and just pure chaos?

rxcowboy posted:Going to see The Acacia Strain and Lamb of God tomorrow in DC, anyone else going? Ok that was a huge letdown. Lamb of God put on a great live show, had a good crowd, etc. Acacia Strain must have been having an off night or their sound guy was a moron because I think they just played one song for an hour. I mean logically you'd assume they'd play more than one song but between the unintelligible vocals and the same guitar and drum beat over and over and over again it kind of sucked. My friend is a huge Strain fan and came for them over Lamb of God, and he left shaking his head and just telling me over and over again to listen to the CDs because they sound better in the studio. I mean, I get the point of growling, but what's the point of having a vocalist at your live performance if the lyrics are unintelligible, and the growls sound the same for all the songs with no variation in pitch, duration or intensity? Why not just fire the guy and play samples of the growling?

Can any of you guys help me find my "ideal" band? I've been listening to whatever-core for a couple of years, and as much as I love the genre, I haven't exactly found a band that fit within these certain boundaries: In short, I'm looking for some group that is equal parts super harmonic with lots of interesting melodies and cool harmonies, but also have ridiculously heavy breakdowns. In terms of the former part, bands that come to mind that fit that bill are groups like Counterparts, or Elitist. Lots of minor ninths and stuff. As for the second part, I like stupidly heavy breakdowns, like Despised Icon, The Ghost Inside, and what not. I think the closest I've found is probably An American Shootout, a loving awesome band that not enough people know about : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rKQ2NrIdCE Unfortunately it wants me leaving a little more on the harmonic aspects and the production quality is pretty poor. August Burns Red also comes close to fitting that bill, but they're too mathy. Counterparts doesn't have enough breakdowns. I love all these bands, but I'm trying to find the one that hits all those points. Anyone have any clues?

I'm a glutton for punishment, it's why I still have, and check, Facebook. Anywho.. this is the "-core" thread. If you cum in your pants over Lamb of God then you probably should be posting about them in the straight up metal thread of whatever because they loving suck now. e: Also your complaints about the vocals are all retarded, I don't go into the Black Metal thread and complain about all the synth and Gothenburg references.

The dude called the vocals "unintelligible"... is that supposed to be taken as a seriously valid complaint of this genre of music? Of course not. It just reminds me of all the loving assholes I know who listen to "normal" music and they're like "oh wah wah but you can't even understand what he's saying". For someone who is actually a fan of heavy music to pull the same poo poo makes me depressed and angry so I call bullshit when I see it. Sorry.

I don't know if anyone here is a fan of Caliban but they have a new album coming out "I am Nemesis" that's pretty good. Seems like it should cross-over well with fans of traditional North American metalcore.

At no point did I label the entire genre unintelligible, I enjoy a ton of other bands in this genre, if you take the time to hop off whatever dick you're riding and actually read what I posted maybe that will become more evident. I'm sorry my opinion over a single band at a single show made me loving ignorant.

"Tunnels" is my favorite song of theirs though, the main riff is like a breakdown in itself but it's super melodic at the same time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeEobvDrZAI I'll also go out on a limb and offer Years Since the Storm, this is my favorite song of theirs even though the talking part in the middle is kind of dorky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g76MdEIJ7Ms The EP is good but their full length is best ignored. EDIT ONE MORE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYVWqOgxGhA I think this band broke up which makes me sad

Acacia Strain were good when I saw them :-/ It was at Warped Tour if that matters at all in this conversation Is The Chariot good? I hated them when I saw them live cause I couldn't hear anything so all I heard was a mass of guitars and yelling, but this recent conversation might have inspired me to give them a try on CD haha
