I love how you bitched everyone on their taste in Metalcore but yet listen to WOP, what I consider to embody everything wrong with the scene.

Yeah I find that pretty classic too.

I admitted that they're cliche. And I agree that they can be seen as what's "wrong" with metalcore, but I can't help being into them. Whatever bro's, back up off me.

I think the term you're looking for is "lay off a nigga dick"

WoP is useful gym/lifting music for me, it's dumb as hell and aggressive... if that's all I'm looking for, they deliver.

Phil Labonte came "second" in the job for KSE vocalist after Jesse left. Part of me kind of wishes he got the job.

Not me. Howard is perfect for KSE. I actually was going to see the KSE tour but backed out of buying tickets when I heard Howard wasn't doing it.

I like ATR and I like Phil but Howard is 90% of my enjoyment of KSE's music. His stage presence is profound. I've seen ATR live a good 7-9 times by now, and ever since "Overcome" came out, Phil seems more interested in fondling his nipple piercings in the direction of teenage girls in the pit than in performing. :smith:

On a whim today I googled to find out if the Acacia Strain were working on anything, and... behold: http://www.antimusic.com/news/10/april/09The_Acacia_Strain_Heading_Into_The_Studio.shtml

quote:

The Acacia Strain has set dates to record the follow up to their 2008 release, the highly successful "Continent." The band will be returning to track the new record with Zeuss at Planet Z Studios in Hadley, MA, where they recorded "Continent," on April 14th.
Vocalist Vincent Bennett commented: "It's been a long time coming. It's going to be hard to follow 'Continent,' but I'm confident that everyone will be as pleased with this record as we are. With this album we're not trying to reinvent the wheel, per say, but prove ourselves viable in today's music scene."

Written and (to be) recorded in its entirety on 8 string guitars, this record will be the heaviest record of 2010, hands down. Bennett added: "This is not the heaviest record EVER written, but it IS the heaviest ACACIA STRAIN record to date."

What loves The Acacia Strain and has an erection right now? THIS GUY!

Skynet - Less like their typical stuff, shows more of their Meshuggah worship
Seaward - My favorite on the album
JFC - breakdown breakdown gently caress YOUR MOTHER breakdown
The Behemoth - instrumental

Good smattering of Continent tracks. If you don't dig any of those you probably won't dig the record.

I could not "procure" this new Ghost Inside "tape" so instead I got their last one "Fury And The Fallen Ones" and it is good. I did not know about this band before

Are these the final album versions of "Hills" and "Terminated"? Because I've heard rough cuts of both songs on the recent "The Most Unheard" 'tape' that also has a Slayer cover and the Dr. Doom demo and some other poo poo. Hills rules, Terminated is okay. I want this album to come out NOW :)

Yeah. I don't know what they were going for with Tactical Nuke. After the third time playing the exact same piece I actually said aloud, "Oh shut the gently caress up" before going back to Beast.

Not sure how I feel about the album as a whole after one listen. I like it, I know that for sure, but it somehow seems to lack the groove/catchyness a lot of Continent songs had. Although to be fair, at first, I wasn't sure about Continent and was comparing it to The Dead Walk.

Edit: Why do so many of the lyrics rhyme? Vincent never gave a poo poo about rhyming before, and I liked it better that way.

hey eff u buddy I'm just trying to take everything in. Album owns, the lyrics are vicious and the guitars are a new level of sludgy brown wonderment from these guys. I am content. Beast may be my favorite face-melting first track since Carbomb. The Impaler is this album's "JFC"

The new Acacia Strain is okay. All the songs sound exactly the same, so I'm probably going to get tired of it soon. Tactical Nuke is terrible too. Disappointing way to end the album.

Tactical Nuke is such a loving bummer. I don't get what they were doing with it. Cut it at a minute and it's awesome.

The following songs are awesome: Beast, The Hills Have Eyes, BTM FDR, Terminated, Nightman, The Impaler, Jonestown

The rest do sorta blend together. It's the Meshuggah vibe that does it. This whole album is slower than the rest of their work, and the slow pace combined with the 8 strings and chugging really makes everything meld together if you're not paying attention.

I like the record and it was awesome weight lifting music this afternoon. I do not think it will unseat Continent or 3750 for me, though.

Dead Walk may be my favorite too. I change my mind all the time about this. But 4x4 and Pity make a strong case.

Wamsutta
Sep 9, 2001

I feel like a tool over-posting about Wormwood here, but not much else is going on in this thread, so...

BTM FDR may be in my top five Acacia Strain songs now. I love it. Classic Acacia Strain, "Vincent may have issues with women, just possibly, maybe" lyrics, groovy, bouncy swagger riffing. Song owns.

Tracks 1-9 are just straight awesome, the final three tracks fall kinda flat for me. I can't share your love of The Carpathian, sorry Krustster. It's :cool: and all, but not memorable, yet.

It's growing on me, just like Continent did. :)

Also still can't stop listening to Wormwood

Are you kidding me? This is going to be EPIC.

Also, the new All That Remains song sounded awesome when I heard it on Sirius. It sounds like their old stuff for sure, but I'm positive they'll have radio friendly songs too. They're releasing it tomorrow for the masses on their website.

I feel like 15 again with all this metalcore news :3:

Okay, Times of Grace seems to have caused an erection that simply won't subside here. If it stays up for more than 4 hours I'm supposed to call some hotline right?

Also, I need to get my rear end home and check out the new ATR song... stupid work blocking Youtube... Overcome was a big disappointment after Fall of Ideals...

I find this the case with most bands that have harsh and clean vocals. The clean singing is basically always constantly flat or sharp. The best I've heard was probably Tommy from BTBAM, but even he would go out of key quite often and it doesn't help that Paul's backing vocals are consistently flat.

I'm kinda suprised to hear people not liking Phil ATR's live vocals. I've seen that band at least eight times since 03 or so, and Phil sounds great live. My problem with ATR is they always mix the guitars way, way too loving low, and it's pure drums/Phil all night.

I used to live IDT. Their 3 track demo, original Forever Scorned (gently caress the remaster, ugh), and Caitiff Choir (again, original, not re-master) all own and are some of my favorite metalcore ever. "Sirens" was horrific emo garbage. "Lividity" was at least heavy again and I enjoyed it for the most part. They're at least moving in the right direction again. gently caress Sirens though, seriously

So Adam D + Jesse Leach's project "Times of Grace" has a single online (don't have link on me, I got it from Killswitch's Facebook last night) and it sounded pretty good :)

Wamsutta
Sep 9, 2001

Emmure used to be pretty cool and then became almost a parody of themselves, IMO. I liked their first couple of records. They took a turn with whatever album had Kurt Angle on the cover, and it's been awful from then on.

Also Despised Icon is the most "gangster" deathcore band I have ever seen. (they rule, not a knock on them)

I saw Straight Line Stitch (Kris Norris' current job) open for Times of Grace last month and lmao, Kris Norris is being so badly wasted in that god-awful band

Just downloaded the It Dies Today demo and Embrace the End's first album (It All Begins With One Broken Dream) both from 2001. I feel old, but it's awesome listening to these old songs again.

I lost the IDT demo on an old computer, but still own a copy of the 6 track EP (the original, not the remastered abortion). Great poo poo.

Also the first two Bury Your Dead records still own bones and I like to continue thinking they stopped making music once Mat left the group :colbert:

I got the new Bury Your Dead tape. It has the rather dumb title of "Mosh N Roll" but as you may remember, Mat Bruso is back. I guess the fan reaction after their last two albums with Myke had a strong effect on them because it's olde-tyme BYD at its finest. I only listened to it once so far but it seems like everything you could want from a Bury Your Dead album. It even ends with a "BURY YOUR loving DEAD" chant! It's like the good old days all over again. I like it.

Can't wait to get that. Old BYD rules. The albums with whoever Not Mat Bruso is were loving atrocious

Anyone with FB should friend DL. He's been in the studio loving around and posting clips of poo poo he's writing, and has been re-doing TAS classics (carbomb, Woah!

I saw them during the DL touring days. Wait, is it not the DL touring days anymore? Did he get really fat and can't fit in the van anymore or what?

When I first saw them in like 04-05 he was skinny as heck and still wore throwback jerseys and poo poo to perform and it looked really funny and as time has gone by he's progressed into some kind of swolefat beast covered in tattoos. Don't wanna fight DL.

But yeah he had a kid and stopped touring with them I want to say toward the end of 09. He still writes for them/lays down studio poo poo though
