Cheers dude!

We parted ways with Niall about a year ago - he never quite fitted in, and it would be unfair on him to go into any detail...

The thing is there are so many metalcore bands right now, and 5% are good, and the 95% rest are just awful rip-offs.

It happened 10 years ago with nu-metal. Then metalcore. Now we have this awful deathcore trend, with a couple of really good bands (All shall perish, the black dahlia murder (well they don't have a lot to do with "core" though), the red chord (and to a certain extent bands like Dying Fetus that inspired the genre), animosity ... ), and thousands of uninspired rip-offs, who have all the same clichés (same logo, same retarded A/B string breakdowns, same production, same pig queals, same screaming vocals, same band name, and so on) and are really uninspired...

In a couple of years people will remember the leading bands of the genre, that were definitely worth listening to, but not the thousands of rip-offs, who will move on to the next "trend", and will always be followers.

Now the new game is to guess what the next big trend will be in heavy music. Ideas anyone ?

The fighting sections need more blood.

I totally agree on that! But alas, I write songs not direct videos... :)



By "modern thrash" I was meaning bands in the vein of The Haunted, Carnal Forge, Threat Signal, The Arcane Order etc. etc., as opposed to "classic thrash" e.g. Exodus, Overkill, Annihilator or the recent thrash revival bands e.g. Municipal Waste, Evile, Skeletonwitch...

To me the best "modern thrash" act so far is Hatesphere. Do you guys (on this forum) like them ?

About your band (i mean the song in the music video), to me it sounds like metalcore (a la KsE) meets modern thrash.

That's fair enough - I do quite like the occasional bit of kse, unearth or god forbid. Alive Or Just Breathing is an incredible album.

Heard a bit of hatesphere but not enough to fully comment. I'm really not a fan of any deathcore bands. Generally, it seems to take the worst parts of death metal and hardcore, rather than the good bits.

Same for me (just replace "any deathcore bands" by "any of the deathcore ripoffs acts").
 
Whilst this isn't to my particular taste in music, I think the production and mix sounds good all round dude. Looks and sounds very pro!!

IMHO I would class this as "Metalcore".

NOT

"Thrash", "Modern Thrash" or anything "Thrash".

I still have trouble understanding the term "Modern-Thrash" and what it means exactly to be honest. Add a couple of others to that list too "Thrashcore" & "Nu-Thrash".

Wouldn't the terms Thrash-Revival & Modern Thrash cancel each other out or be one in the same thing?

E.g. Thrash is... Thrash. It was big in the 80's through to the 90's. It's a particular sound and style of metal music. Bands coming out now that are playing that style of music (i.e. Thrash) pertain to us in the present modern day (i.e. Modern) as they weren't bands that were around in the 80's. Therefore making them "Modern-Thrash"? :loco:

I've confused myself now :lol:

Thrash-revival = new bands that play like the thrash bands in the 80's/90's (Testament, Exodus, etc) : municipal waste, warbringer, bonded by blood, ...

Modern Thrash: Mainly European bands, influenced by Slayer but also by Swedish death metal (at the gates for instance) for the "melodic" riffing, with more modern and pissed-off singing (definitely not old-school singing like Exodus), and a slight death metal (Swedish but also US brutal death like Suffocation) and hardcore (esp. groove) influence. Check the albums from the Haunted, Dew-scented, hatesphere, carnal forge and nightrage (2d album) and you'll definitely hear a difference with Exodus/Testament/etc as well as with the thrash revival bands.

I was thinking the other day about genres and i just invented a new one, though it isn't metal. I'm going to invent a style called progressive rap! I'll become the first rapper ever that can rap in a 7/8 time signature. :loco:
