BEST METALCORE BAND of the following:[views:53118][posts:187][poll! to vote:click here] to view:click here] ___________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 10:23am - SteveOTB ""] Wow a whole thread based on Metalcore and MetalCoreSucks has yet to post one reply. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 30,2006 10:28am - Yeti ""] i definitely wouldnt label Lamb of God as metalcore. they deserve a shitload more respect than that. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 10:34am - SteveOTB ""] Josh_hates_you said:none of those bands are "metal core" well they are but they seem to be the leaders of the nu metal/metal core takover. these bands are the new mall metal not metal core. imho-All Out War is the best metalcore band. bands like the agony scene, norma jean, sworn enemy, the acacia strain and converge are way more "metalcore" that any of these bands. I agree, when I walk the mall it's nothing but kids wearing their shirts or tench coats with massively over sized pant legs instead of back in the day when they all used to wear Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Static-X shirts. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 11:28am - Cecchini @ UML ""] umm.. Shadows Fall has the best players of these bands, but if I have to pick one I'd probably pick killswitch cause I think they wrote some catchy shit. To much chuggy chug chug and lack of creative ideas in all these bands though... Espically Lamb of God, their stuff is so boring and not creative... in my opinion anyway. |

Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka is an amazingly well structured and controlled album. it has great talent and knowledge thrown in to it. and thats just one. but you are an idiot and wont recognize that so fuck you too. |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 3:48pm - thewrldcanwait ""] I don't see any of these bands on here as metalcore...but then again, I don't know what to label any of them either. When I think of metalcore, I probably think of As I Lay Dying. Most of these bands aren't like them. Honestly, I don't label my music either. A lot of people say I listen to metalcore, but I listen to all sorts of things. I like all of these bands on the poll, but I also like Cannibal Corpse, and Nile, and Pig Destroyer, and Municipal Waste, and Agnostic Front. When you try and put a label on what you listen to, it restricts the amount of music you're exposed to...and that's never a good thing. |

| ________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 6:31pm - xmikex ""] If I hear one more dude say they don't believe in labeling music, that their band is beyond the boundaries of labels and categories, that music should transcend labels.... I'm going to puke out my brains. what a stupid cliche thing to say |
| _______________________________________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 7:08pm - Cecchini @ work and not nli... punks ""] Yea, you need lables. There is a big difference between two bands like NIN and Iron Maiden, and just saying "oh that was a metal band" doesn't paint an accurate picture to someone of what a band sounds like. Saying "NIN was some industrial band and Iron Maiden was a power metal band" all of a sudden gives people a reference to work with. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 11:40pm - thewrldcanwait ""] Yeah, but what about all the grey areas when describing music to people? A lot of labels pigeonhole bands into a certain genre and paint the wrong picture for people. When pointing out differences in two bands it may be helpful, but when deciding what to listen to, it can only get in the way...It may be a cliche thing to say, but I think it's true. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 31,2006 3:57am - sacreligion ""] music is good |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 31,2006 8:08am - xmikex @ work ""] Human beings naturally process things schematically. Your subconscious breaks things down and puts them into categories to better understand units of information, recall memory later, and generally make sense of things. As far as gray areas go, you don't plan your life around gray areas. You go with what makes the most sense, and does the most good on the largest scale. Having some labels (at least) works the best from an analytical standpoint, as well as a marketing standpoint. Case in point: whenever some dude tries to push his band on me, and tells me "Uhhh woah we don't really 'sound' like anything, we just play what we feel and whatever comes out comes out" I walk the fuck away. Because whenever a metal band tells you their band doesn't "really sound like anything" it ends up sounding like Necrophagia. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 31,2006 10:32am - Yeti ""] i dont necessarily agree with that, why would you want to sound like something? when we the Sac are writing music, we do our best to not sound like anything, and i think we have done well. you can hear the influences but you cant really pinpoint it as sounding exactly like something. |

If I ask someone what their band sounds like and they give me a 10 minute explanation about "we totally just like let our SOULS spill all over the fret board... it's really more of a spiritual experience than a song for us... I totally channel Buddha, and Ronnie James Dio and just let this guitar solo rip one time..." I'm gonna write them off as a bunch of clowns. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 27,2006 4:14pm - anonymous ""] Ok. First of all Metalcore is a mixed genre. It also spawns genres such as "swedecore" "emotional Metalcore"... etc. Many bands can actually be thrown into the metalcore genre, but hardly ANY bands are purely Metalcore. True metalcore is defined as Hardcore Punk/Heavy Metal. Which includes influences from the 80's, thus making it melodic. And for everybody who says they hate labelling things such as bands... get a fucking clue, seriously. Without labels on our bands Trivium could be compared to Britney Spears, or in the same genre, or Paris Hilton vs. Iron maiden. Say whatever the fuck you want people, just because someone says it isn't right, doesn't mean it isn't right. No one has no clue what is right or what is wrong, secular ethics are impossible, everyone has their own visions of stuff so keep your mouth closed if your bitching about labelling. I agree its a stupid thing to do, but we need to do it. |

I saw an ad for some haircut place that claimed to play kse cd while they cut your hair. anyway the new new kse has leaked. i haven't personally heard it but rough tracks have leaked but i have no interest in wasting time searching for them. |
