kumba posted:this album kinda sucks tbh I come from New Jersey, the land of E-Town Concrete  I didn't hear the last Enter Shikari, though I wasn't a huge fan of Flash Flood of Color. I really liked the first two though, they were one of the earlier bands to go all-out with the electronica and it was kind of neat to hear basically trance-techno metal. Sky Eats Airplane was another great early electronic-heavy band, although their first and second albums were very different. I think one or two of them are involved with Glass Cloud now?

tbh if you don't spend every weekend blasting tough guy hardcore at the gym and crowdkilling treadmill pussies you shouldn't even listen to anything with harsh vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2elrTBacYGo Also I'm trying to remember a band from 2006-or-07-ish and coming up completely blank. I don't even remember much about them really but the album popped into my head a few days ago and it's been driving me crazy, they were a smaller band, I wanna say it was a "The _____" name and the second word started with a C, or an O? And they played a semi-progressive but fairly straightforward style of -core that was popular at the time, a lot of clean & harsh vocal switching and I think a bit of ETID-style southern rock riffs. No idea if they had more than one album. I think the cover was largely blue with maybe a picture of the earth or something? Kind of a long shot and I could be wrong on most of the details even, but hey it's worth a shot because few things in life are more important than mediocre metalcore music from a decade ago.

Nope and nope, although I hadn't heard The Ocean and they're pretty cool so thanks for that. The band I'm thinking of was a lot more straightforward and stupid scene bullshitty, bright colors and trendy style, melodeath-inspired riffs and whatnot. The progressive influences were very minor and mainly in relation to song structures not being completely verse/chorus/repeat.

kumba posted:this album kinda sucks tbh Haven't heard the new Volumes yet but RIP does feel very awkward on the new OTB record. I get that Alex is a hiphop head which is great because it comes across in their sound, but them doing an actual rap song on the record didn't work for me. Overall the record is awesome though so I don't mind.

Glad you like em, the Ocean are awesome and were my intro into some of the weirder post-metal like Giant Squid and Cult of Luna. Are you sure it was The followed by 1 word with C or O? All I can think of off the top of my head is The Overseer, tbh.

Listened to the Volumes tape, won't be doing that again. They should just have kept making Via indefinitely I reckon. No Sleep was pretty cool too. New one has too high a Limp Bizkit percentage

He Is Legend sadly only had the heavy ETID vibe for the first 2 albums They're still awesome now but they don't do harsh vocals and such anymore Also the very first Memphis May Fire EP with their first vocalist is southern-rock-influenced metalcore at its vety finest

'The Hollow' by Memphis May Fire is a loving insanely good album even though I think the band sucks a lot for the most part. Also, Gwen Stacy's 'A Dialogue' is the same style and rules hard. e: Also, also, 'Failure On' by Beloved. The whole angry whiny metalcore with harsh and clean vocals is something I'll always have a soft spot for when it's done well.

I checked this out because you mentioned it and yeah, it surprised me. I've never really liked anything else Memphis May Fire have done, but this album is real solid. Also, one the vocalists sounds a lot like the old Haste the Day vocalist.

Yeah it's a solid album, I'm a huge fan of the first EP and they did a pretty big style change after it, but it's good for what it is. Also I'm pretty sure it's the same guy doing clean/dirty vocals

The 2 after it are meh (Challenger and whatever the newest one is) but the 2 before are awesome (Sleepwalking and Between the Lies). Those 2 are a little heavier on the ETID-style dirty riffs, which I love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgc-95zDAFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrltR2LYK4s For the record their first EP came out like 3 years before they did anything else (Sleepwalking was their first LP), different vocalist but still pretty awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx6Aa3XzxBE

I saw Memphis May Fire in a tiny tiny room for a friend's birthday back in high school. They were OK but they were on tour with This Romantic Tragedy, from the height of the "trancecore" movement, which was a very bad time. Well, that's my MMF story. Surprised nobody brought up Maylene in a Southern-core discussion.

Actually I'm an idiot and accidentally listened to MMF's album that was just released "Shadows Inside" instead of the one mentioned before so uhhh yeah. It kinda sounds like something Haste the Day would have released in 2007 so that's pretty cool.

But yeah that's not actually an MMF album.

I don't think I'd ever be able to differentiate between some of the bands from that specific era. Specifically the ones that come to mind are Miss May I, Like Moths to Flames or Woe, Is Me, for example. Here's another great southerncore band that only lasted 1 EP and 1 LP, sadly, A Girl A Gun A Ghost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVWYhILGvdU Also reposting the first He Is Legend LP for the bit because it rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP9W0zNtia8

Their full length, Through The Eyes of Ahab, is so good. One of my favorite southencore bands will always be Once Nothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIhwILqDxjI ninja edit: oh, poo poo! Looks like Once Nothing reformed and released a new EP a few years ago!

I'm a latecomer to Miss May I. I like them and have been going through their albums in order. I feel like Deathless was a big step backward in heaviness and I didn't really dig it, is that a consensus among people who enjoy the band? Apologies are for the Weak, Monument, At Heart and Rise of the Lion absolutely rip, though. Gonna blast Shadows Inside during tomorrow's lower body session. e: nevermind, I listened to Shadows Inside today, it is Not Good. I feel like they tried to go Nu Parkway Drive and write accessible arena songs. No thanks. Crawl is a really catchy song, though. Wamsutta fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Jun 14, 2017 |

Drift sucks and the vocalist who ruined Texas in July also ruined Erra. Augment and Moments of Clarity are superb albums, everything else is meh. Speaking of meh, Memphis May Fire has a new single. It sucks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e2V6l2OFdQ
