ConquerTheBaphomet said:HAHA, Himsa is NOT metalcore. They have old thrash influences. Chimaira is almost nu-metal and Shadows Fall is not a thrash band. Lamb of God is a Pantera cover band.
Lamb of Gods new stuff is basically pantera covers. Their old stuff isn't.

None of those are metalcore bands, they're all just emo.
[Sep 20,2007 7:54pm - yummy ""]
No they're not Lamp. I mean they do suck but they're aren't emo. Granted, I can still enjoy the first KSE and SF albums.
[Sep 20,2007 8:04pm - Lamp ""]
I don't know man, not that I've heard all these bands, but the ones I do know basically just sound like emo metal to me. A bunch of dudes trying to be tough but at the same time letting out their "feelings"(I have no idea what that word means by the way

I have to admit I am a big fan of the pre killswitch band Overcast. The "Begging For Indifference" EP is monumental.
[Sep 20,2007 8:25pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
Overcast is not metalcore IMHO
[Sep 20,2007 8:42pm - yummy ""]
I agree to a degree. At the time of Overcast there weren't any national acts that you could compare to them and metalcore wasn't really a "genre". So, they weren't metalcore. But, now that there are national acts that you can compare to them it's easy for people to pigeonhole them into that category. I can differentiate bad songs from good. Overcast wrote good songs. I always hated the vocals. But still sung along.

new studio album soon, Metal Blade is putting it out I believe. One of my best friends is Scott McCooe from Overcast.

Oh my golly! I heard something about that what? well over a year ago....we'll see. My condo smells of rich mahogany.

I've shouldn't say I've heard it, but I have and lets say its not the same Overcast I remember. Adam from KSE produced it and made it sound too good for what Overcast was. Some new tracks and some classics re-recorded. I think they also dropped the tuning to D rather than the standard E
[Sep 20,2007 10:02pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
I put Overcast in the same catagory as a band like Prayer for Cleansing - dabling into the nowfound direction of "metalcore" but drawing more influence from death, thrash and blackmetal however still maintaining originality.
[Sep 20,2007 10:18pm - vein_water ""]
Overcast was the greatest thing in hardcore next to Rorschach
[Sep 20,2007 10:21pm - yummy ""]
eewww....that's quite a stretch.

I agree.
BTW, can't wait for the new Overcast ish; I don't care how much the KSE dude gays it up, it'll still kill. But, then, I'm a fan.

the only "metalcore" band i like is Martyr AD.
[Jan 4,2008 11:03am - DestroyYouAlot ""]
Manowar is my favorite metalcore band.

Now a prayer for a cleansing was a good band. Better than the rest on this poll.

jesse is in a new metalcore band called The Empire Shall Fall which is pretty solid. sounds like old killswitch mixed with Meshuggah.

i like some metalcore, but has anyone heard the new Parkway Drive? its fucking garbage. the first one "Killing With A Smile" is actually pretty good, despite its horrid name, lyrics, and band idea. but the new one is just awful. i do enjoy the first Whitechapel, Glass Casket, Martyr AD, and a handful of others.
