Hardcore

[Ender Rises]

They're too disjointed to be metalcore. When I think metalcore I think Bullet for my Valentine.

 

[Hatebreeder]

it resembles deathcore, grindcore, and southern rock.

Why does everyone label all the "chaotic" metalcore bands with grindcore? I'm sorry, but I have not yet heard a metalcore band that even remotely resembles grindcore.

 

[Ender Rises]

Agreed, I fail to see how they are grindcore at all.

 

[sceloporus]

Well, they're definitely different than the generic metalcore, but they still show strong signs of metal and hardcore which sticks them in the fusion genre of metalcore.

Yes, your are right, after listening to them I'm always left thinking of other grindcore bands, so i put that down.

Edit:You also labeled them as metalcore witch i see few signs of the typical "metalcore" within this band vocally, riff, and drum wise.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

I'm not into hardcore at all. maybe it needs to grow on me more.

 

[ohiogrinder]

metalcore to me is bands like Wehrmacht and Cryptic Slaughter

 

[LieToPurify]

Well, I used to like a lot of it, but now im getting into heavier stuff. The only "metal-core" or whatever you want to label it I listen to still are bands like The Red Chord, All Shall Perish, Suicide Silence, etc.

 

[General Zaroff]

I like Norma Jean. But Redeemer sucks.

O God The Aftermath FTW.

Time to confess guys:

As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour, Droid, Sinai Beach, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, and a few others I will NOT mention here

And I really like PsyOpus.

 

[tagradh]

This thread leaves me to believe that many people have no idea what hardcore is. ;o

 

[Satanstoenail]

Agreed.


I also like stuff like

Converge
Botch
Turmoil
Refused
Minor Threat
Bad Brains

and deathcore/mathcore stuff like

Dillinger Escape Plan
Five Star Prison Cell
The Red Chord
Despised Icon

 

[Jreg]

It's mostly the crusty or powerviolence side of hardcore that I like: Dropdead, Charles Bronson, Tragedy, His Hero Is Gone, Fuck On The Beach, Spazz, Lack of Interest, Uncurbed, Man Is The Bastard, Infest, etc. Then there's several good older bands like Agnostic Front, Minor Threat, Cro-Mags, and Sheer Terror. The sound of a lot of the straight-edge bands from the 90s kind of soured me on following the scene for a while. But I went back and discovered a lot of cool shit eventually.

Do you like Disfear?

 

[Jreg]

Do you like Disfear?

Yeah they're cool.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I could never get into Agnostic Front's vocals. Maybe I just need to give them another chance, but they sounded weird to me.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

:Smug:

Don't be a faggot. You know what real metalcore is and you hate it.

 

[LieToPurify]

As I Lay Dying

And if you like Norma Jean, I would say listen to Dillinger Escape Plan, much better than Norma Jean. They arent exactly the same but if you like Norma Jean i think youd like them.

You are the most crafty and most funny poster here.

I heard them before, I really didn't like but I will give them another listen.

Real metalcore fucking rules.

Ringworm, Overcast, Starkweather, Coalesce, etc.

However I do love the modern metalcore sound with bands like Between The Buried and Me, Glass Casket, Buried Inside, Maroon, Poison The Well, The Red Chord, Yakuza, Despised Icon, Achilles, etc.

 

[Alasdhair]

I think most of the hardcore scene is a bit shit to be honest... The only band I have any respect for is Dry Kill Logic, only because their sound is slightly Thrash Metal...
