I've been listening to Vanna a bit longer, and I gotta agree that they are just a fun band to listen to edit:  just didn't seem appropriate, not sure why I almost always have to put a smilie at the end of my posts

Cock Soup posted:What have you got against them? I'll admit that I like metalcore in general, but I can make the difference between good metalcore/deathcore (Whitechapel, Despised Icon, Carnifex,Blind Witness, August Burns Red) and bad one (Oceano, Underneath The Gun, The Crimson Armada, Emmure). I'd like you to explain your point of view on Whitechapel as to why they should be considered as sucky? Ok, but you have to admit that Whitechapel's second CD wasn't very good. Their first one kicked all kinds of rear end, though.

I will say that Whitechapel do know how to play their instruments, but know nothing about interesting song structures. You should have reviewed The Somatic Defilement. This is Exile is poop and it also sounds a lot like JFAC's Genesis CD which is also poop. Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-DJoVfXv0w&feature=related for instance is better than anything on This Is Exile.

Bleh, MCMB... never really cared for them. Anyone heard The Irish Front? I'm not really sure what they're up to at the moment (haven't paid attention since the release of Universe), but they've made some pretty awesome music - especially their first CD/EP or whatever. Fun stuff. My favorite song from their EP is Carnavorium which doesn't have a decent quality video on youtube, I'll keep looking to see if I can find one.

Anyone have any opinions on Through the Eyes of the Dead? Just picked them back up recently, and even though their later stuff is more Death Metal than any -core, it's still pretty drat awesome. Earlier Deathcore stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqhCddD2NHY Later Death Metal stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNiTW-I7azI (love the opening, but it does drag on a little too long in my opinion)

ShoogaSlim posted:I don't expect a band's Influences section to be taken super seriously. But I think if you take your music seriously whatsoever you should at least take 3 seconds to put down some bands that actually influence your passion for music and not who you think kids will read and say "hey I like those bands too, sweet!" I always figured most of the bands I listen to don't really take themselves seriously at all  Otherwise the whole screaming about torture, murder, dismemberment, and making sweet, sweet love to pizza might be kinda awkward.

There seem to be very few or they at least go unnoticed due to the literal swarms of Christian-core or whatever you want to call it that's flooding the hollow minds of fifteen year olds everywhere.

Business Raptor posted:Okay, this is exactly the kind of poo poo I'm talking about. I'm not trying to bitch at you or anything, but this fits that comment I made about christian-core. Listen to 2:43 in that link you posted and tell me that's a good transition or even a transition at all. I feel like these guys got together one weekend and said "hey, want to write uninspired Christian hardcore with a breakdown or two?", and the other guys all said "YEAH BRUTAL XXX!!!". Excuse the following line, my reading comprehension failed me at first. Holy poo poo I never even noticed they were a Christian band  I never really listened to the words. To be honest, I only ever really listen to that song for the breakdown at the end because it has that sweet Law and Order sample ohgod please don't make fun of me  e: Orrrrr maybe you weren't saying they were Christian, but rather comparing them to the lazy Christiancore... that makes more sense Looking at the lyrics, there's nothing blatantly Christian about them. And yeah, the song isn't very technical or anything, and it's uninspired, but I always just kind of thought of it as a kind of fun song, much like Dead Language for a Dying Lady by Vanna. Anyways, on the topic of what I would hope dudes in this thread would call good music, has The Faceless been discussed recently? I've only ever listened to their Akeldama CD, but it is pretty loving rad. Leica, especially, is amazing. Oh, and August Burns Red - I've only ever listened to Messengers, and some of the songs on there sound pretty good, but almost every song on the CD sounds exactly the same at parts.

Business Raptor posted:They're called Wish for Wings, their myspace is myspace.com/wishforwingsxxx, and they have a song called afterlife. I remember hearing something Christian in their lyrics too, but I'm not about to go and look for it because I think the evidence is almost overwhelming. Once again it's not the fact that they're Christian that makes them bad, it's the fact that they're Christian infused with the same thing as everybody else, making it even more the same as everybody else. Just very uninspired I find. You're right on both accounts: I was saying they're very Christian AND I was comparing them to Christiancore. quote:Can you feel them, feel the watching from beyond I'd say that it could be argued either way, but leaning towards non-religious. Then we have a song like Death Before Disco: quote:Pride you wouldn't know a loving thing about it gently caress generally doesn't work it's way into Christian music, at least in my experience. The lyrics just all sound more like generic, whiny emo kid stuff, really. Ignoring the fucks, their attitudes towards religion are still pretty ambiguous. This is all neither here nor there, though, since they don't have to actually be Christian to achieve the "Christiancore" sound you're talking about, and I totally agree that they have that sound, but I'm pretty anal about these things sometimes :< Anyways: The Faceless quote:And on the topic of The Faceless, I've always really liked them, but only specific songs. I remember a while back I got web demos for Ghost of a Stranger, An Autopsy, and Dig Out Your Scars. While Dig Out Your Scars was obviously a little weak the other two were fantastic. When they came out the with the album however they remixed the songs and changed a few parts around, so it sort of sounds a little off on the album but still good. I just wish they would make up their mind about what kind of music they want to play and not have all the songs on the album sound like different genres. Haven't heard their new stuff though. I've never even heard of Dig Out Your Scars. Is that an EP song or was it on that Planet Duality or w/e CD? Anyway, An Autopsy and Ghost of a Stranger are both awesome, but did you ever get to listen to Leica? Beats 'em both in my opinion. And for Sawtooth Grin, I must say I have never even heard of them - any recommendations for a first listen?

The breakdowns are still pretty brutal (especially the one at the end of My Fist, Your Face) and Nate's vocals are really good. drat, picked up their EP and it was brutal as hell. Is that intro Shooga posted anywhere on it? I've only listened through the EP like once and don't recall it being there.

So, a guilty pleasure of mine is browsing the selection of "breakdown vids" on youtube looking for maybe some good songs. If you're familiar with this scene  , I must ask, is it just me, or are all of the new videos complete and utter poo poo? gently caress this thread for making me not be able to enjoy simple breakdowns anymore  quote:Circle of Contempt has their first full length album coming out in like two weeks. If you're into a Born of Osiris type vibe, these guys are sick. Definitely worth checking out for some sweet breakdowns. http://www.myspace.com/circleofcontempt Holy poo poo, I click play on Color Lines and BOO is the absolute first thing that comes to mind. Seems like a Strain/Emmure situation where you have someone who plays very similarly but still does it well enough to be enjoyable.

I was talking about After the Burial earlier in the thread, and I mentioned my liking their first CD better than the second, but that changed earlier this week... holy moley I guess I just didn't listen to it enough, but the whole CD is an improvement over the last one. Aspiration, in particular, is an amazing song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn8cyGRgyns Aaaand here's a live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqDd3DsBfL8&feature=video_response You guys weren't kidding when you said they don't put on a good show. They play well live, but the singer is pretty much the only one moving around and poo poo
