Just slightly yeah.

The local bands all suck here. My high school has a ton of local overrated metalcore bands that site Dissection and As I Lay Dying has their favorite bands. It is a tad bit insane. Talented players though.

lol I suppose that's your opinion, but all the bands you listed are either really generic, or just complete crap. The Fall of Troy at least have their own sound.

beneath the sky - in flames/at the gates ripoff
emmure - breakdown after breakdown after breakdown
haste the day - really boring christian metalcore
zao - they're ok I guess, but nothing special
arise and ruin - these guys are just terrible...I saw them open for BTBAM and The Red Chord and yeah, not worthy.


good bands, if you like 7 Angels 7 Plagues check out Misery Signals...same guys except a different singer.

Misery Signals are cool. I like the chuggy-sound combined with a melodic sound without necessarily being Gothenburg influenced.

Yeah, they have GREAT melodies...I think that's best demonstrated on the song Migrate, just can't get enough of that song.

i think it would be cool if nation of ulysses wore tight pants and had that sort of japanese/asian young urban dude spike too much gel look, cuz you know, asian people have coarse monkey hair, and cool breakdowns. and also they weren't like 40 now or whatever.

WTF? Most random post ever!

First, no that wouldn't be cool. At all.

Nation of Ulysses were perfect just how they were.

In what sense? I'd only say that some of their lead stuff is way too scale-driven, but overall they're pretty good at doing their own thing. A lot of people don't enjoy Rody's vocals too, but I think he has great range compared to others in the genre.

I heard them and it was just awful. Terrible vocals, and impenetrable songwriting.

caliban
heaven shall burn
as blood runs black
through the eyes of the dead
The Acacia Strain
Overkill(not sure if metalcore or not)
A Life Once Lost(not amazing but i like em)

I heard (second hand) that the new Craptopsy is metalcore.

 

[vixTRON]

Pretty much. The new Cryp album should really appeal to the all brootal kids. Lame.

You people are just way to hard on this band.

I can see criticizing their song structures, in that they don't really have any structure. More like a series of 'parts' strung together (but the same thing can be said about a lot of metal).

The vocals are simply an acquired taste. I've listened to enough At the Drive In and other post-hardcore that they don't bother me a bit.

Overall I really like the bands sound. Though I could do without the really _core parts. I don't think they add anything, and sound out of place for the most part.

I can see just not liking them, but they aren't "just awful".

I agree, it's hard to just start listening to that kind of thing if you've never been into any post-hardcore or emo stuff.

I heard (second hand) that the new Craptopsy is metalcore.

sounded like Korn to me

Heaven Shall Burn are good, but the others not so much.

winds of plague
Thine eyes bleed
threat signal
it dies today(old)

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Quite honestly, Protest the Hero's music pisses me off more than the vocals. It's really fucking pretentious.

 

[vixTRON]

Well for those who like Protests the Heroes music, but cant get past the vocals, there is now a instrumental version of their album 'Fortress' floating around.

Also check out this great metalcore band from France: http://www.myspace.com/yblx

All IDT is great to these ears but I enjoy the poppy sensibility of Sirens and I'm glad they didn't just write another TCC over again. Speaking of TCC, My Promise is one of the most fucking vicious metalcore songs EVER. KILL.

I feel like a total douche for admitting this, but I have been totally been digging on this band : http://www.myspace.com/blessedbyabrokenheart

They're a totally scenester christian metalcore band with this ridiculous glam metal "theme", but I find them hilariously fun.

.....god I'm a douche
