Not wanting to detract from my position as Royal Carnage's resident metalcore apologist, I offer you samples from one of the best (and most distressingly short-lived) metalcore bands that ever was, 7 Angels 7 Plagues. Hugely influential, these guys took all the elements that were to become the main focus of several contemporary bands (the dissonant minor-third skrong and harmonic chord melodies of Poison The Well, the bile and schizophrenia of Coalesce, the thundering percussion of Zao) and fused them into a cohesive and satisfying whole - a trick that no other metalcore band has managed since.

Yeah, got about 10 seconds in to the first track till I turned it off. Definitely not my style.

A bit too hardcore-sounding for me, especially in the vocals. Music's not bad at all - good even - but I couldn't see myself listening to these guys all that much.

10 seconds into the first song doesn't do it justice, as it gets drastically different and better. I LOVE that piano piece that closes the album.

No need for me to listen. A great, great album for those open-minded few not opposed to escaping metal and listening to a little -core.

I'd say anyone really sceptical about listening to these ought to at least listen to The Commentator's Despair all the way through - if that one doesn't do it for you, then yeah, give up.

I tried to listen to this a while back because I thought maybe I was missing something in metalcore, because of this and all the talk of Between the Buried and Me.

Listened once and realized metal and hardcore don't mix well.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, this has zero chance of me liking it. I tried though, honestly. Sorry.

 

[J.]

metal and most of the other gay shit this forum to doesn't mix but BAH!
