HEY THERE'S A NEW DESTRAGE ALBUM OUT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc4vmOjf7Ps I don't even remember where I first heard of these guys but they're unbelievable. Their last album was all over the place as far as style, so hopefully this new one meets the same high bar. Here's a song off their last album and both the song and the video are honestly one of my all-time favorite metal songs, period. There's a fair amount of Dillinger Escape Plan influence in here, so if you're a fan give it a listen. (or just watch the video on mute if you want to see an Italian metal band dress up as zombies and run an endurance/obstacle course) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SOEKCWafsg Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Oct 27, 2016 |

chocolateTHUNDER posted:New Wovenwar seems pretty good so far. These dudes definitely know how to write songs (most of them are from As I Lay Dying so I guess that's not a surprise). They're basically As I Lay Dying with a new singer right? (since the old one tried to have his wife killed by a hitman or whatever) Sort of like how Lostprophets have that new thing with the guy from Thursday doing vocals.

Beelzebozo posted:When I first joined the forums, half your posts were telling people the music they liked was bad and the other half were making GBS threads on people for not being straight-edge. Somewhere on a hard drive in a folder full of decades old image macros I have a pic of you with big black Xs on your hands shouting into the mic of some Good Clean Fun type sXe hardcore band. Then one day you "lost the edge" and the next week you were already making GBS threads on people for being straight-edge. Everybody hated you. And judging by your title things haven't much changed. You're the worst kind of person. I don't care what music you like or what you think of music I like. Just be less of a shithead once in a while, you worthless clown. Or literally kill yourself. That would be fine too. Don't tell people to kill themselves, even if they are the physical embodiment of the douchey hardcore kid who goes to metal shows and won't shut the gently caress up about how much better hardcore is

Moundgarden posted:the new a7x is, surprisingly, good?? what the gently caress?? ehh, it's not aggressively terrible like the last few (although I'll always lol at that one song they did with Mike Portnoy that directly led to him getting kicked out of Dream Theater), but they'll never come close to City of Evil (and another Waking the Fallen or Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is sadly beyond a pipe dream)

Moundgarden posted:It's their best since City of Evil for sure, which is a step in the right direction especially after the abortion that was Hail to the King. The drumming on the album was just totally uninspired and I'm glad that guy got kicked out after just the one album I'll give it a shot, I heard the single on the radio (The Stage I think) and it was kind of meh. Looking it up though, turns out the new drummer is ex-Bad Religion Brooks Wackerman which is pretty sweet (it also led me to the fact that Bad Religion put out a Christmas album which just  )Moundgarden posted:I maintain that In Waves is their best album, but otherwise yeah I agree. Vengeance Falls is one of the most disappointing releases I ever heard and Silence in the Snow wasn't a hell of a lot better Honestly Crusade and Shogun were such garbage I wrote them off completely. Ember and Ascendancy were loving awesome and then homeboy blew out his scream and they turned into a clone of Death Magnetic-era Metallica. Moundgarden posted:
This Darkened Heart is my personal favorite, but Fall of Ideals was like the epitome of metalcore IMO, perfect blend of heavy and catchy/poppy. Again, I wasn't a fan of what I heard off Overcome or FWAM so I kind of tuned them out. I'm not necessarily saying that all 3 bands got worse as the screaming vocals lessened, just happens to be a coincidence in this case (I love newer Opeth, BTBAM and Protest the Hero for example)

Moundgarden posted:Shogun was nothing special to me, though I do like The Crusade. In Waves is their closest album to Ascendancy so if you never even gave it a shot I think you should, you might be surprised.  completely on Shogun, I'll give In Waves a shot though. I was under the impression that Matt Heafy stopped screaming entirely after blowing out his voice like the guy from A7X, but I guess that's not the case?I will admit that my opinion of them is diminished somewhat from when I saw them tour for Ascendancy - both Matt and Corey came out wearing Trivium shirts and Matt went on a long boring rant about how he was playing DIMEBAG DARRELL'S GUITAR and how great Dimebag and Pantera were

ShoogaSlim posted:There is a STARK contrast between cock-rock bands like Trivium, All That Remains, Avenged Sevenfold, and actual deathcore/metalcore bands like The Acacia Strain, Unearth, Veil of Maya, etc. lol Unearth is much closer to old ATR than Acacia Strain or Veil. Also have you even heard the newest Veil album? don't get me wrong I love all 3 of those bands but just loving lol at "actual deathcore/metalcore bands"

ShoogaSlim posted:All That Remains and Unearth used to be pretty synonymous with one another, but ATR sounds like Nickelback, or they did last time I bothered to try listening to one of their newer songs. and yet here you are crying about people discussing ATR in the metalcore thread and using Unearth as an example of bands that should be discussed in the metalcore thread even funnier, you are crying about people discussing how ATR and others used to be much heavier, and how their recent work has been relatively weak and much poppier your posts and opinions are so aggressively bad it makes me a little sad that you like Veil and Acacia Strain because it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong by proxy because I like them too Moundgarden posted:Nope In Waves has plenty of screams, couple tracks have no cleans at all That's when I saw them! It was them, CoB and Protest the Hero (one of my all-time faves). Where'd you see 'em?

Moundgarden posted:It was at the Masquerade in Tampa but iirc Protest wasn't there so couldn't have been the same show Same tour I meant, I saw them in Philly. I like Acacia Strain but I don't love them tbh, I can see how they'd get boring but then again I like Deafheaven so my bar for boring music is pretty low  chocolateTHUNDER posted:Strain is peak deathcore. I find almost every other deathcore band boring because TAS is so good I dunno what I would consider peak deathcore. After the Burial maybe? Actually I went to the Sumerian Records 10th Anniversary show last year and that entire experience was peak deathcore IMO Is this an edgy opinion or something? I'd never heard CftG but I just looked them up and they seem to fit the bill pretty well eagerly awaiting Shooga's proclamation that peak deathcore is like Chelsea Grin or Despised Icon or something

The point of my post and every post in the thread, with the exception of your relentless, lovely opinions and crybaby meltdowns over people liking and discussing bands you dislike, is discussion about bands we like and/or dislike. I'm glad you think Trivium and A7X are poo poo but maybe try to contribute something more to the conversation besides "YOUR BANDS ARE poo poo STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM" I love the fact that you're proud of how you poo poo all over people's opinions IRL too, I bet your friends loving hate you lol

ShoogaSlim posted:All That Remains loving suck. What's the debate? Their only passable albums are both over a decade old, and if you want to reminisce on that very slightly "better" stuff, just go listen to vastly superior albums in the same genre like Of One Blood by Shadows Fall or The Oncoming Storm (or Stings of Conscience) by Unearth. you are certainly Mr. Cool Metal Guy and I bet you are just super popular amongst your elite metalhead bros e: that video you posted is some of the most boring garbage I've ever heard, it's like a rejected track off one of the Quake soundtracks Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Feb 4, 2017 |

Emmure sucks and Frankie Palmeri is a garbage human being to the point where literally the entire band except for him quit because they all hated him. It wasn't even the first time multiple band members quit because of him, either. Even if you can ignore the fact that the band is basically "some shithead and whatever musicians he can rope into working with him at the moment" their music is awful, it's literally Limp Bizkit/Korn-style nu-metal with slightly heavier vocals like holy poo poo I feel bad for Josh Travis going from Tony Danza and Glass Cloud to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdEEwRN_YFk

They lost me with the last full length tho, and what I've heard of the new one doesn't do it for me. I like Goodbye to the Gallows (I will never not LOL at how the intro track on that is a note for note rip of Carbomb), Speaker of the Dead and Slave to the Game a lot for lift the weights times. I pick the team that doesn't have a white kid from NYC going on Twitter rants calling people faggots and niggers the fact that TAS is an infinitely better band is tangential in this context

I actually prefer listening to their Rediscovered tracks more than the album itself (which is fantastic). And I really love the acoustic version of Ebb and Flow by Misery Signals. Oh poo poo I completely forgot about Rediscovered now I'm excited to listen to it again thank you I wish there were more bands like The Contortionist and Between the Buried and Me
