'Convince me this band is good' challenge

[arg]

 

[Bruticus]

damn. Trivium have WAYYYYYYY stepped up their game.

 

[The Ozzman]

Was this a bonus track on some Euro version?

Edit: Damn, a recently released single. I wish this had been a bonus track or something.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

that was horrible

 

[arg]

i just saw it on their instagram. the lyrics make me so happy been singing it all day

 

[CiG]

is that the name of a deathcore incorporated into a brutal/technical death metal formula band ?

FUCKIN LOL

 

[CiG]

Speaking of deathcore incorporated into a brutal/technical death metal formula are All Shall Perish any good? Never actually listened to an album.

you can tell by their band logo they're on the more mainstream/clean side:

One can look at that, and read it. Also the band name is pungently cheesy, no doubt, but it's actually intelligible.

What you want in your deathcore incorporated into a brutal/technical death metal formula band is a band logo that's closer to flora, like a bush or a tree, and less to the alphabet. And for the name itself to not make sense. The less sense it makes...that's when you know you've hit the jackpot.

Cryptopsy is actually one of my favorite death metal bands. They just appeal to me personally. I was huge into one of their albums (can't even remember the fucking name, srry) when I was on a tech death kick last year. Haven't listened to them in a while though

Edit: None So Vile was the album, masterpiece IMO

 

[EchoForever]

people like this shit?

 

[EspaDa]

[The Ozzman]

people like this shit?

You rang?

It's hard to imagine two bands that are bigger opposites than DK & Trivium.

 

[Allfader]

There is one band that I find absolutely abymal and, while I've tried to get into, I just can't. Summoning.

I only hear laughable casio keyboards, horribly programmed drums, mediocre to insipid "riffs" and inoffensive vocals.

I checked out Caladan Brood's album and that had way more balls and craft than any Summoning album I've heard.

 

[no country for old wainds]

dol guldur tho

[Allfader]

Drums are horrible (LOL double bass patterns) and the "riffs" sound like a bunch of noise. The music was repetitive as hell too. It's like they looped the song twice.

Either it was a terrible example or the band simply sucks ass.

 

[Phylactery]

I mean all Summoning is extremely repetitive. but I love that track and it's one that got me into the band.

Stronghold is probably their most guitar driven album (except Lugburz).



Here's two tracks from Dol Guldur you could give a shot:





And a track from Minas Morgul that you might have heard the Caladan Brood cover of, this is way better though:



Failing that you could try something from their debut Lugburz, which is their most typically black metal album and has little in common with everything they recorded after it. It sounds more like early Abigor:

Bullet for my valentine is a good band



You can’t listen to that song and say they’re bad

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Summoning is simply garbage.
