I'm seven tracks in and I feel like I'm the only who's not digging it all that much. Maybe it's because I never listened to Misery Signals before so I wasn't all that excited going in. It's weird, because it reminds me a lot of Shai Hulud's newest album, which is my second-favorite album of the year right now.

I posted about it in the punk/hardcore thread and...I disagree. I never understood their popularity.Henchman of Santa posted:The Chariot are breaking up. I'm sure a lot of you will be upset, but frankly I'm happy that they won't be touring with any bands I like any more (besides Birds in Row on their farewell tour). Their performance at BLED Fest a couple of years ago was the embodiment of everything I hate about the hardcore scene. Just douchebags throwing punches everywhere, including at security, and nearly breaking a bunch of stage equipment to the tune of some utterly unremarkable music.

Personally I don't know how people above the age of 16 listen to the Acacia Strain in the first place. I think maybe posters are just growing out of the breakdowns all the time phase of their music taste.

There is so much more to metalcore than breakdowns and I've been posting here for months.

I liked Periphery's debut on first listen and it just got worse and worse every time I heard something from it. The fact that djent has lasted more than five minutes is shocking to me.

That entire sound instantly turns me away at this point. I can do Meshuggah in small doses. The rest of djent is just irritating to me, especially with that whiny vocalist that Periphery has.

ShoogaSlim posted:I ordered myself a copy of Converge's No Heroes that they just re-released on limited vinyl (where are my scene points?) and as usual Deathwish throws in a bunch of stickers/flyers with their orders. Saw a sticker for a band called Cult Leader and was intrigued. Yeah I've been psyched for Cult Leader's debut ever since they announced their existence, although I love the vocals in Gaza. They're keeping the same blunt attitude though. When they made the FB announcement that they were starting it just said "We used to be a band. Now we're a better one."

The Elijah are decent but they're really more post-hardcore. I was about to say you should listen to Devil Sold His Soul but then I realized that DSHS stood for that.

XIII posted:A lot of people in here seem to dislike ETID, or at least dislike their more recent work, but they're probably as close to a favorite band as I get. The Big Dirty is probably my most listened to album (although I like everything they've done). They're currently writing a new album too! Uh, Ex Lives and New Junk Aesthetic are both spectacular. "Wanderlust" is probably the best song they ever did. They're kind of a stupid band, but they're really fun and I think Keith Buckley is just a fantastic frontman. Disclaimer: I've never listened to the Big Dirty, Hot drat! or their debut.

PaganGoatPants posted:Animals as Leaders - the JOY of Motion (youtube stream entire album) Decent enough so far (I'm on track 9). Tosin is obviously an amazing musician, but AAL just don't strike me the same way that Scale the Summit or Blotted Science do when it comes to wanky instrumental bands that I would have been obsessed with at age 16. Definitely more of a small doses kind of band.

Don't forget that Emmure are from Connecticut too. Frankie Palmeri is a man who thinks saying "nigga" and "u mad bro" are the cutting edge of humor. On the subject of good bands (maybe that belong in the Punk/Hardcore thread?), the debut EP from Cult Leader is streaming. For the unaware, it's Gaza minus Jon Parkin, with the bass player taking over vocal duties and a new bassist taking his place. It sounds more or less like another Gaza album.

I have mixed feelings on the production--Ballou is great, but he kind of made it feel less like ETID and more like every other band he produces--but the songs are really loving good which is what matters. On first listen it's not as good as Ex Lives but slightly better than New Junk.

# ¿ Jun 15, 2014 15:15 |

NJA has my two favorite ETID songs in Wanderlust and Organ Grinder, but Ex Lives just clicks better as a whole for me. Kurt Ballou has produced a ton of great albums in the past few years but they do all feel sort of the same, and on this one he puts Keith a bit lower in the mix than I'm used to.

Big Willy Style posted:Really? I saw them a few weeks ago in Sydney on their Australian tour and it was really, really piss weak. The band was not getting into it at all and looked like they had somewhere better to be. They had some minor technical issues that the opening bands worked through without any issues but it caused them to basically stop for a half minute between every song and gently caress around. So there was no flow to the set, the crowd weren't getting into and to top it off the singer was making cricket chirping noises between sets. The only song people got excited for was Justice. Guess you got them on an off night, then.

I loving love their first two releases, but I don't think I've ever finished their third. I'll give the new one a try when it comes out. I did a double take here and remembered that Frank Turner was in hardcore bands before, but you mean Frank Carter.

Roydrowsy posted:I'm curious to see what people say on this. I was really, really into this stuff towards the end of high school and into college. I got my hands in the last Refused album and for my roommates and I it was a hardcore extravaganza. there was Norma Jean, Poison the Well, Every Time I Die, The Bled, From Autumn to Ashes and the like. I spent a year at the campus radio station as the "hard rock" music director talking with reps from all these labels and playing this stuff on air in 2004. I starting pulling those albums out again and looking up the bands to find most of the ones I knew have disbanded. I have been scrolling through the thread finding more current stuff to sink my teeth into, but it can be tricky finding a place to start. I don't like the majority of stuff that gets brought up frequently in this topic (e.g. The Acacia Strain and their ilk; the melodeathy bands referred to in the post above), but since you like Refused and Every Time I Die we probably have some common ground in taste. These are some of my favorite metalcore/metallic hardcore/whatever albums of the past decade: Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind Every Time I Die - New Junk Aesthetic The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us is the Killer Between the Buried and Me - Alaska Gaza - He is Never Coming Back Glass Casket - We Are Gathered Here Today... Shai Hulud - Reach Beyond the Sun Code Orange Kids - Love is Love // Return to Dust Full of Hell - Rudiments of Mutilation Oathbreaker Eros|Anteros Palm Reader - Bad Weather

ShoogaSlim posted:Emmure are so bad they're good. They helped popularize nü-metal-core and have pumped out almost an album a year for the past 7 years and are still headlining tours and selling lots of albums and haven't really distracted from their sound much at all. That's staying power which I respect even if their music and persona are questionable in nature. I'm going to have fun seeing them play with TAS next month. brb gotta hit the weight room so I can put maximum force to my spinkicks during Soundwave Superior. Get the gently caress out of my way Enter Shikari queermos! Like, you can enjoy a band like Emmure if you want to, but you can't simultaneously justify your taste by proclaiming them "so bad it's good" and pretending they're intentionally self-parodying (which they aren't) while slamming others for their taste. Appealing to manchildren isn't a step up from appealing to women. Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Nov 24, 2014 |

ShoogaSlim posted:Parkway Drive is a road that leads straight to boredommmmm And I really don't see how Attila are somehow more embarrassing than Emmure. They're both trying extremely hard to be edgy and have no actual musical value. One of my best friends (who I should probably throw a bone by posting his band in here) has pretty much your exact taste in -core and uses the same justifications ("Emmure are objectively bad, but I love breakdowns") for it while being occasionally dickish about bands that I feel belong in the same category of poo poo, and I just can't wrap my mind around it.
