Tell me about the metal scene in Boston[views:7100][posts:39]_____________________________ [Sep 21,2003 1:59pm - xos ""] Is it any good? Do you actually have a fair number of metal (not metalcore, but metal) bands? In my area, we're lucky in that we have alot of really talented people, but not many bands who are truely metal. Any noteable bands coming from Boston these days? |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 2:01pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] Yes. Sometimes. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 2:05pm - the_reverend ""] let's get one thing straight. are we talking about tree here? |
| _________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 2:23pm - joostin ""] the current big boys of this board who i think have the most talent are Ascendency(fast paced death metal) and Terminally Your Aborted Ghost(technical deathgrind) and of course MA is home to the spawn of many many a "metalcore" band as you probably saw in Fall River and unfortunately, if you read back in this messageboard, there seems to be a small war going on between all the metal loving kids(which sucks). Though from what i've heard, a lot of new bands are going to be comming around soon that have a lot more of a european metal sound. |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 2:33pm - the_reverend ""] mass is so board... you got a lot of different sounds. here's the stereotypes and like all stereo types, they are totally untrue. southshore: tough guy hardcore with some deathgrind new bedford: gothenburg influence melodic metal northshore: hardcore north of 495, east of rt 3: metalcore boston: weird mix of everything. a lot punx and a lot of dirty bands. worcester: random metal bands and hardcore west of 495: CT influenced hardcore |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 2:37pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] Randolph: rap, hip-hop, rap, hip-hop, rap, hip-hop, reggae, rap, hip-hop, funk-rap-hip-hop rap, rap, hip-hop, Ascendancy. joostin said:Ascendency Thanks man :spineyes:. |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 2:54pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] Wow, what a crazy coincidence, since one person saying "white power" once will be enough for a search engine to find it, and such things have been discussed (and thoroughlly bashed) on this site many times. Amazing. Wow. He really got us. Onion bursts are people. |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 4:29pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] I just search on google for white power with and without quotes. Through ten pages of results on each there was not a sign of RttP. Bluff has been called. Silly kids. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 4:38pm - thegreatspaldino ""] my pee pee grew hard... mommy... i think im becoming a man!! |
| ________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 5:02pm - retzam ""] yea i tried it too and when that didnt work i searched for "return to the pit white power" and that didnt work either. bastard... |
| _________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 5:57pm - Terence ""] Ascendancy, i guess we're pretty good. sometimes. :bow:thanks for the acknowledgment my friend |
| ________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 7:08pm - xmikex ""] i like ascendancy beause they're extremely talented, ridiculously fast, but their egos don't take up the entire club. and they don't hand out flyers to kids in other bands outside their own shows that say ASCENDANCY & some other bands PERFORMING TONIGHT!!! TR00 METAL! ...Did I mention we know Beyond the Embrace!?! ps. fuck metal. |

And we like you because you keep everyone on their toes without ever giving us crap hehe. |
| _____________________________ [Sep 21,2003 9:08pm - xos ""] Who are some other metal bands? Specifically, the european sounding ones. I'm curious to know who else is out there. It seems as if you have alot more metal going on than our area. We have... not much at all. Quite a few metal-influenced bands, but it seems like everything is really somehow connected back to hardcore and I'm just tired of it. There are some bands and I'm sure that there are more who I don't know about, but... yeah. The biggest problem is that, like in your area, it seems that many of the metal kids are very interested in out-metaling eachother, which is a real shame. In case I haven't plugged it enough, I drum for a band from Philadelphia called Kiriyama that played Fall River a week ago. http://www.mp3.com/kiriyama |

| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 11:37pm - Terence ""] Im glad to hear that people like us. Other good bands from around here are Bane of Existence, Goratory, Dysentery...there's actually a lot. Im pretty sure they're linked here somewhere |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 11:39pm - RustedAngel ""] shadows fall is from mass. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 11:40pm - Terence ""] shadows fall. oh. the band that makes me wanna puke in a hat and wear it |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 21,2003 11:43pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] All the arguing around the NE "scene" makes me feel like Tina Turner and everyone else is Ike. "I don't care who's wrong or right I don't really wanna fight no more Too much talking babe Don't care now who's to blame I don't really wanna fight no more This is time for letting go" to XOS: The two songs on mp3.com are really good. I really like the subtle synth lines especially. You've got a really cool looking logo too. I'll go see you if I can next time you play in or around MA. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 22,2003 12:02am - xos ""] Thanks to everyone who likes what we're doing. If anyone is doing any shows and wants us to come out, let me know. We had a great time playing MA and as soon as we can afford to do it again, we'll be coming back up that way. It's only about 7 or 8 hours from us to Boston. Along the same lines, if any metal bands want to play the Philadelphia area, get in touch with me and I can see what I can do. (And I don't want to make myself out to be some self-appointed authority of Philadelphia metal, because I'm definitely not, I'm just opinionated and talk too much.) |
| __________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 1:48am - Mike_STE ""] I live right in Boston, and there is no metal. It's either punk/crust, or your typical gay hxc. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 2:26am - xmikex ""] yeah but we've got record store after record store stocked full of the entire PanterA catalogue all for $18.99 each. who needs a scene when you've got the 101 Proof True Kings of American Metal in total digital clarity at the touch of a button?! YOU TALKIN TA ME BOY? IM NOT HOME |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 3:22am - DeOdiumMortis ""] There's no better place for metal than good ol' suburbia. |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 8:44am - the_reverend ""] yeah, I love living in the city. |

Phil was better off in Perpetual Doom (rip), instead of Shadows Fall / All That Remains. |

| ________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 3:40pm - Beakey ""] Considering my height and drug habbits, I will be the Dean Martin of the scene. Refer all prescription pain killers my way, thank you very much. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 3:41pm - the_reverend ""] ok.. I'm starting to get the idea that we aren't talking about tree here anymore. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 3:43pm - joe/notcommon ""] no we are not. we are talking about control and cool |
| _________________________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 6:12pm - Cryptic Triple Scumbag ""] I'm surprised that this band hasn't been mentioned yet: RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 22,2003 9:54pm - joe/notcommon ""] i'm surprised i didn't mention Ravage yet. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 23,2003 2:03am - DeOdiumMortis ""] No one's actually mentioned anyone. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 23,2003 7:45am - joe/notcommon ""] you were not given permission to reply. Dean Beakey, send Sammy and Joey to talk to him |
