Metalcore

Salt The Wound - Better Than This has got to have one of the best riffs in Deathcore/Metalcore. It's like a thrashy melodic riff but goes into a tremelo picked one at the end. Too bad the rest of the album is nowhere near this song.
 
I've been listening to Botch, Converge, Poison the Well and 7 Angels 7 Plagues recently. Don't really see myself exploring the genre any further though.
 
the new The Human Abstract leaked. I just started listening to it, and it's pretty good.

Lol...you must be kidding? Midheaven is probably one of the most disappointing sophomore releases I've ever heard. I mean their debut wasn't amazing either, but it was decent at least, and underneath all the wanking and sweeping you could see they have potential cuz they're good musicians. On Midheaven it all went waaay down the fucking drain...terrible production, terrible songwriting, the guitarist can't even play the sweeps and the singer somehow got even worse. I'm sorry if I come off as an asshole with my response, but I just can't express my disappointment with this album in any other manner lol.

stole the words out of my mouth, i expected so much from them. i can't even listen to a full song off of midheaven. glad someone else noticed all the missed notes by the guitar player. the album was a serious waste of studio time
 
Um, Veil Of Maya are terrible. They are not even in league of good metalcore bands.

Listening to them now. Pro Tools must be their best friend.

haha figures you'd hate them, but i love them mostly because i can't predict any of their songs, theyre random yet everything fits together, they got interesting riff composition ideas, catchy breakdowns, some slams here and there and theyre pretty brutal. somehow i'm suprised im the only person that likes them.

ill give it to you though, they dont seem to have much talent and will probably bite the dust soon
 
Like I have told you before, they come from right where I live and play in the same scene as all the local bands including Oceano, and all I can say is they sound the fucking same. The whole spastic and techy but still catchy while we do our cool breakdown dance is lame. They have good playing skills and maybe if they tried to be different than they could achieve something interesting.

I get what ya mean, their the one of the only bands i like out of the whole "lets try to be meshuggah/btbam" phase that i've been seeing lately. some things about them just make them interesting to me

I agree about Veil of Maya...shitass band, and it's a shame they're named after such a sick song.
