Metalcore

Abigail Williams is terrible

Actually I don't necessarily have a problem with deathcore. When I first heard Despised Icon I was all "it's Hardcore mixed with Deathmetal, and it's good... deathcore, cool". When I started hearing the majority of bands that get labeled deathcore I was more like "it's recycled melodic deathmetal with shitty generic breakdowns sprinkled throughout it.... meh"

Yeah, I know...but I still like a good bit of it.

I didn't really care for those ones. Now, Mortal Treason - Sunrise Over a Sea of Blood....that one is much better. It's a real shame they broke up.

yea mortal treason

opinions on I Killed the Prom Queen?

pretty good i think, remind me of parkway drive.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They pretty much are a ripoff of Caliban, and not too much like PWD at all. Super generic, but also kind of fun to listen to.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I don't like them much at all. Don't they have Parkway Drive members, though?

Genghis Tron is by far the best grind/metalcore band I have ever heard. Is it metalcore? Anyways, great stuff.

 

[vixTRON]

I really like Genghis Tron, though I'm not sure I would really consider their music metalcore.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's like digigrind.

 

[SamLoveMetal]

wow you should be permabanned for admitting you like AVENGED SEVENFOLD

Hahah. Couldn't agree more.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Or he could, you know, have his own opinions.

a7x actually make some pretty solid albums, not their fault that theyre extremely flaming gay while they do it

I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend Raunchy - Death Pop Romance to everyone.

The FM-radio rock choruses kill it for me.

I guess every genre has different styles within it, but I've been noticing that a lot about metalcore..

On the one hand you have bands like Chimaira and Byzantine which are just really straight-forward heavy bands that use punk influenced vocals and grooves. They call themselves groove metal but now adays it seems like groove metal is a euphemism for metalcore.

Then you've got deathcore bands like Despised Icon which are extremely heavy but like the Byzantine-type bands they sprinkle their music with grooves.

And then you have bands like Atreyu which very much use a commercial, emo-esque kind of verse-chorus style and sprinkle their music with metal kitsch. I respect those bands for being able to marry pop styles with aspects of extreme metal, but I don't enjoy listening to them.

Anybody wanna throw some recs my way for the bands that are more like Despised Icon? To be honest I didn't even understand how they could be -core when I first heard them. But deathcore has become one of my favorite genres and the Chimaira-type metalcore bands are awesome too.

peace & love

My buddys band, the only metalcore I ever even looked into.

Disagree, but I know how you feel. I like the dichotomy which is directly linked from the title to the actual music (death/pop)!

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I think the radio-rock choruses give it a nice touch, tbh.

 

[The Ozzman]

The FM-radio rock choruses make it better

Yes.
