New August Burns Red just announced. I never really got into their last album, but I am loving loving the single they just dropped along with the announcement.

I remember catching Shai Hulud with Born of Osiris and After the Burial there almost 10 years ago, really good show. RIP indeed.

I think a goon is in Graveborn. I liked their first album a lot. They put out a track from their upcoming third album which sounds promising so far:

Used to be two goons, I was the singer for the first two albums! Thanks for posting this, I've been really impressed with the way they've been evolving the past few years. Gravybong does the lion's share of the songwriting in case folks want to ask him questions.

I love Emmure while simultaneously acknowledging that they're pretty terrible. They have a few tracks like We Were Just Kids/MDMA/etc. that are different from their standard fare that are actually worth listening to IMO.

Also for anyone else who likes The Ghost Inside it seems like they've been slowly gearing up lately, posting more things online and practicing as a band once again.

As someone who has always been sorta "meh" on TGI (I've listened to Dear Youth and Get What You Give a handful of times, but was never blown away), I can confirm that Siren Song loving crushes.

If you haven't seen em live before, that might make a big difference. Of course that's been a sad impossibility the last 2 years, but when (if?) they start playing live shows again, definitely do not miss it. Since they're coming off a long hiatus the shows are gonna be extra insane, but even before that, they put on one of the best live acts I'd ever seen. Nothing quite like seeing half the audience crowd up on stage to sing the ending to Engine 45 at a smallish venue. When they come back it's gonna be unreal.

First time I ever got to scream into a mic at a show was during Provoke :unsmith:

I'll never forget coming across Parkway Drive about 11 years ago and not being initially interested in their music. Then they played on some tour that come through America about a year or so later, and there we still like two or three bands left to play but holy poo poo did the entire venue transform when they came on. Never saw anything like it and I immediately devoured all their music. Some of my favorite live concerts were with PWD, but the last two or three times I've had a chance to see them I passed up because I knew they'd play their newer stuff and honestly it just doesn't appeal to me. Super depressing. At this point I just pretend they broke up and there's a new band with the same name playing totally different music.

ETID was crazy, my first time catching them ever actually. Long time overdue. Kublai Khan was a lot of fun too, and In Heart's Wake was really enjoyable. I'm also pissed I missed Harm's Way, they played way too early.

Two of my favorite albums, and I've always dreamed of seeing the song Rareform played live (the breakdown at the end is in my top 10). Fall cannot come fast enough, holy poo poo.

I love JT Cavey. Like to the point that it hadn't occurred to me that anybody would think he "ruined" ERRA. I always found Garrison bland and forgettable, and Ian was just plain bad. The music has always been dope, but I didn't pay much attention to the vocals until Drift. :shrug:

Same, plus I love his energy live. He seems like someone who is just really happy to be up there playing and doing vocals for such a good band.

Semi random question for folks who know more about Architects. Is the person who writes the lyrics a Buddhist? At least, there seems to be tons of references to Buddhism in their lyrics, like "Maya" and "Hungry Ghost" in Modern Misery, or the Alan Watts speech in Memento Mori. Curious if there's an interview flying around anywhere where they talk more about this.

Saw Make Them Suffer, Erra, The Acacia Strain, and After The Burial for Halloween tonight. Holy loving wow, what a great show. TAS played Continent in its entirety and ATB did the same with Rareform. Most of 'em dressed up a bit. Nice change of pace from all black band tees.

Erra loving killed it and I was surprised at how much of the crowd knew their stuff. All four bands, really.

I'm seeing this on Saturday, probably line up of the year for me. The breakdown from the track Rareform is probably in my top 10 breakdowns of all time, but it's not a popular track and I'd never thought I'd get to see it live. Definitely losing my poo poo during that.

i love augment and moments of clarity a bunch. i'm really not a fan of that jt cavey dude who tookover, and who also ruined texas in july for me. something about his vocals is so boring and unappealing to me.

i'm poking around a few songs off neon now and i still enjoy the music they write (even if it sounds like it's leaning a tiny bit more underoath than within the ruins these days), and i absolutely love jesse cash's clean vocals. i'd like erra a lot better if it was legit just him singing and no harsh vocals at all, like how contortionist is a hell of a lot better now than they were on their first two albums.

I love Erra and I really like JT’s vocals, but last time I saw Erra live, JT came across as a bit of a dick. Definitely soured me on him a little, but I still love Erra’s music.

Bringing some old school post-hardcore/metalcore vibes to 2019. 1:50 goes so hard.


This is so my loving jam. I know nu-metal is having a revival, but I'm really hoping for old-school metalcore to have its own revival. Stuff like 7A7P, Remembering Never, etc. is some of my favorite music ever and would love to see that kind of sound come back with full force.

Edit2: The Johnny Booth track is also sweet.

New Obey the Brave single is a letdown. Continuation of the softer stuff they started to play with on Mad Season. Mad Season has some really solid songs so I'll hold out for the full album. OTB's first two tapes are for sure their strongest though.

Yeah, I hadn't listened to Obey the Brave since their first album and playing that new song was confusing as gently caress. I thought I had the wrong band on for a second. Not my jam, which is a shame because I love Despised Icon and want to support any of the dudes' side projects as well.
