Topic: Is Opeth turning Hardcore/Metalcore?
Body:
I am not very fond of the genre, but I will admit that there are some decent bands like Throwdown and Bleeding Through. I am not a fan, as their fanbase consists of jackass "bros" and "hardcore kids." You know... raised trucks, and camo pants. Or maybe its a local LA thing.
anyways... back to my point. I was browsing Throwdown's myspace page when I found out that the Sounds of the Underground tour, which is a predominately hardcore tour is actually bringing along Opeth along as well.
Are they trying to appeal to a new hardcore crowd. If so, then I have a feeling that is how the new album will turn out.
Please note that there is a substansial difference between hardcore and nu-metal. I dont know how big it is outsice of so. cal though. Please do not start calling any band that isnt underground or plays to your liking "nu-metal." Its really lame. There is actually traits to the genre that were described really well by someone on here. Was it Outlaw Torn?

This is probably the kind of idiot who thinks that the black album was not a sellout album and that load/reload/stanger are metal..
what a joke.
