[Cocaine]

[Forlorn Hope]

As I Lay Dying, As Blood Runs Black, Bleeding Through...A lot of metalcore and the current scene "death metal" have breakdowns.

[I_WEAR_RED_PANTS]

terrible thread

[StreetlightRock]

Cocaine you've been so angry lately =( You're breaking my zen.

[i am the robots]

yeah your list was much better :rolleyes::rolleyes:

It does. Despised Icon was the best band on his original list, and that's pretty ****ing sad. Sorry if I like music you don't, oh lord among men!

WHEN I DO **** LIKE THAT, IT'S REALLY IRONIC, RIGHT?!

[donteatpieontuesday]

check out dawn of retribution dude, band from geelong, breakdowns a plenty in their music

[Grumma]

Parkway Drive, breakdowns a pleanty

+1

their songs are more breakdown than riffage :p

[RunAmokRampant]

Breakdowns are usually frowned upon on mx, dude. I have mixed things about them and only like them if they don't feel so contrived in trying to be 'heavy'.

Converge's 'Heartless' has a great breakdown though, check that one out.

[2muchket!]

Symphony In Peril - Stiletto has a very good breakdown.

[Pete]

It does. Despised Icon was the best band on his original list, and that's pretty ****ing sad. Sorry if I like music you don't, oh lord among men!

I don't know, Ion Dissonance and Beneath the Massacre are fücking ace too.

[TojesDolan]

"hey man i felt creative and like what do you think if we continue unthesame key but like one third of the tempo adthen we increase the harmonics by thirds and the tempo by fifths sowe soundliike tool" "yeah sure man awesome"

[Shattered_Future]

Shark Punch. EPIC freaking breakdowns in that band.

[Cocaine]

You know why I said **** off and die? Because I meant it.

If you're coming in looking purely for breakdowns chances are you're shallow, vain and don't appreciate any actual thought to music. Breakdowns are integral to many-a songs, but writing songs around them depreciates them and breaks dipshits who, conveniently enough, go on hunts for nothing but. So yeah, once again:

**** off and die.

[masscows]

Dying Fetus
Suffocation
Misery Index
The Red Chord
Between the Buried and Me
Cephalic Carnage on Anomalies
Shadows Fall pre-Fallout From the War
Unearth

Those are the ones I listen to that use breakdowns, most breakdown-oriented stuff is pretty much crap.

And I think **** off and die was a little too harsh, coke. Just gotta point him in the right direction that's all.

[masterchaos]

Dying Fetus
Suffocation.....

I didnt think that just because you slow down in a song meant it was a breakdown.

So what if he does like just only breakdowns coke? Sure it isnt much from a musical standpoint, but maybe it gives him the same feeling that you get when you listen to whatever it is you really enjoy.

Just because you have 15k+ posts doesnt make you better than others.

[masscows]

I didnt think that just because you slow down in a song meant it was a breakdown.

suffocation's breakdowns aren't chug-chug but they have the same rhythm as a typical breakdown.

and a breakdown is an abrupt switch to half-time.

[Eliminator]

half-time =/= breakdown

[TojesDolan]

misconceptions are great!

[masscows]

explain what it is then, ive been under the impression that a breakdown was just an abrupt shift to half-time. I didnt say half-time=breakdown, i said abrupt shift, but that's probably equally as wrong.

I dont listen to much aside from metal and rock anyway, so i probably wouldnt recognize a jazz breakdown or something if i heard it.

[masterchaos]

And they way I think of breakdowns is the "chug chug" style riffs...I bet if we all were in room listening to what we each though is a breakdown, we would probably agree with each other.

[Cocaine]

A breakdown is just a break from the music. It's not unlike a bridge, blablabla. It's mostly half-time but that still doesn't equate it to mindless chugging on a permanent basis.

I have a headache but if you can't recognize breakdowns that arent 'dun dun dududdududchhhhhh" you shouldnt be listening to music.

I'm cranky as well, hence the **** off and dies.

[masscows]

ive always known breakdowns weren't all chugchug. Nile's Sacrifice Unto Sabek has a little twiddly diddly breakdown in it, for example, although you probably didnt listen to that song after the 20 second mark because you hate that band so much.

ok now i have a better idea of what it actually is/is used for.

[naboo]

Dying Fetus

No need for metalcore

[masscows]

but Unearth is such essential breakdown listening!

[masterchaos]

I thought we were just talking about the Hatebreed style breakdowns opposed to like Cow said, Suffocation, and thats why everybody was bashing this thread. My confusion.

All Shall Perish has some pretty good breakdowns

[4yearpro?]

just type in top breakdowns or brutal breakdowns in youtube. there is like some fad of just breakdown videos. so if u like some of the breakdowns in the vids, u can check out the bands.

Hardcore dancing is fun after you've had a few beers or pints. Thats the only time you'll see me hXc dance.

[masterchaos]

Hardcore dancing is fun after you've had a few beers or pints. Thats the only time you'll see me hXc dance.

Is it considered hXc dancing if I hold the person down and beat the piss out of him?
just kidding.

I just realized that when I play guitar that a fair amount of my riffs could be considered breakdowns...but I guess they would be more of the "Groove" type rather than hardcore. i.e. Suicide Note pt2 chorus

[RetiredAt21]

Neil Perry
Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine

They have good breakdowns.

[Shred Danson]

Is it considered hXc dancing if I hold the person down and beat the piss out of him?

No. You have to punch the air. Punching people and making them bleed and suffer isn't hXc.

[king of suede]

personaly.. when i hear breakdown i think of gallops which then leads to lamb of god... look for some lamb of god, preferably early lamb

[I_WEAR_RED_PANTS]

Metal/Metalcore has been starting to grow on me since ive started listening to it

[Ayliffe]

**** off and die

well said.

[margin0walker]

Botch and Converge have all the breakdowns that you need. most of the bands that have been mentioned in this thread are just aping botch and converge breakdowns.

[4yearpro?]

best breakdown is
Irish Front- Boom Snap Clap

[Shattered_Future]

Actually, to be fair, one of the best breakdowns I've heard is off of the new Behemoth album. Slaying the Prophets Ov Isa has one of the heaviest ones I've heard.

It's a pity most of the rest of the album is ****ing terrible.

[broken_]

you kids are so uneducated it's disgusting. its no wonder why half of these posts are making fun of the topic.

a plan for my holidays coming up is to write a song with just breakdowns

thats by far the dumbest thing i've seen someone post in a long time. how can you not expect someone to not make fun of you? if you want bands that play breakdowns, go ask people over myspace.

in an attempt to answer your stupid question-
some bands worth checking out:

despised icon
august burns red
ion dissonance
as blood runs black

You're criticizing people in this thread, saying "go check Myspace" and those are the bands you suggest? Woooooooow MEGAFAIL.

[masscows]

i pretty much just saw the bands on his list and ignored the rest of his post

[broken_]

You're criticizing people in this thread, saying "go check Myspace" and those are the bands you suggest? Woooooooow MEGAFAIL.

if you want a band that plays breakdowns like bring me the horizon, making an inquiry on myspace would more than likely be more successful than asking here. as shitty as 'as blood runs black' is, their album is still worth a listen. the other bands have all pretty much recently released albums, and they're talented acts. Despised Icon and Ion Dissonance are both Canadian, at least show some respect towards that. I'm actually surprised people would oppose my post, again so uneducated.

Sorry I seem to have missed the search function which gives me bands who use breakdowns :rolleyes:

this is a community which means we try to help others moron.

[broken_]

if ts listens to despised icon, i am helping.

[masscows]

despised icon aren't that bad aside from the fact that they use approximately 17 metalcore breakdowns in every song.

[i am the robots]

wtf is a metalcore breakdown? stfu.

despised icon suck because theyre boring and their vocalists only do like two good sounding things.

Shark Punch. EPIC freaking breakdowns in that band.

SHARK PUNCH IS THE NEW GOD OF YOUR STRAIGHT EDGE X LIFE X!

[masscows]

the type of breakdowns typically used in metalcore, aka jun jun wee

[i am the robots]

they're just ****ing breakdowns, whatever.

[Turkish]

is that a song/band or are you telling me to do that

rofl, that's fantastic

[i am the robots]

I forgot to say: Suffocation has breakdowns, just because its not like 10 minutes of chugging, doesn't mean it's not a breakdown.

Listen to Let's ****ing Go! by Spazz..

[broken_]

despised icon aren't that bad aside from the fact that they use approximately 17 metalcore breakdowns in every song.

dont even bring metalcore into this. thats where it gets real ugly.

yeah except they were on my list of recommended breakdown listening for this kid. That's why i specified that despised icon uses metalcore breakdowns because there's more than one type of breakdown.

****, every band uses breakdowns at some point, it's just a matter of how inconspicuous and frequent they are.

[i am the robots]

ugh, whatever.

all i can say is that one dead three wounded, cannibal corpse, and suffocation are kings of "fakedowns."

[broken_]

ugh, whatever.

he knows it all. even though i doubt he could find a despised icon song with "approximately 17 metalcore breakdowns". haha.

[Cocaine]

just listened to My Heart Beats in Breakdowns by Evergreen Terrace. Aptly titled if I do say so myself.

[broken_]

how heated would this thread get if it changed direction to defining a breakdown...

[i am the robots]

Evergreen Terrace gets so annoying after like 3 listens.

[broken_]

Evergreen Terrace gets so annoying after like 3 listens.

i never got into them, perhaps you have perfectly described why that is

[i am the robots]

They have like, 4 good songs... well moreso decent.

I'm not a huge fan but I enjoy them to a point. It's got more to do with me liking them 4/5 years ago than anything.

[i am the robots]

Like me with Korn?

or me with slayer

wait i still like them nevermind

just a memo;

despised icon are not boring or bad or whatever you say, theyre awesome

[Dimmu Burger]

I got the new Despised Icon album not expecting all of the breakdowns, and though I don't like the breakdowns all that much, the album and band as a whole is pretty good.

[RetiredAt21]

I don't think I've ever listened to Despised Icon. I can't remember.

[Dimmu Burger]

I don't think I've ever listened to Despised Icon. I can't remember.

Its worth a listen IMO.

[4yearpro?]

the faceless have a cool breakdown in leica

[broken_]

the breakdown in the eleventh hour by august burns red is so good. if you've heard the song you know the one haha.

[RetiredAt21]

August Burns Red sucks so bad. They are the most generic metalcore band of them all.

[broken_]

i don't know about generic, as i can't think of a band that is even close to sounding the same as them. repetitive at times i will admit though.

edit: just noticed your from lancaster, as is abr.

non-typical breakdowns there

[RetiredAt21]

These guys are definitely the most generic metalcore band ever.

[i am the robots]

horrible vocals

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, the vocals are pretty terrible.

[i am the robots]

I think they'd be pretty good, not like, mindblowing, but solid generic shi if they got a new singer.

[Dimmu Burger]

i don't know about generic, as i can't think of a band that is even close to sounding the same as them. repetitive at times i will admit though.

I can think of about 100 bands that sound the same as them. And I agree that they are repetitive.

4YearPro: The Faceless freakin owns.

I got The Faceless's debut not so long ago. That album owns.

ETID owns. I like their rock and roll inspired riffs. Its about time bands started to emulate ACDC.

[Kage]

You can't be serious.

[Dimmu Burger]

You can't be serious.

ACDC is a classic american rock band. There is nothing wrong with a band being inspired by them. Maybe if they straight up copied them that wouldn't be cool, but I don't see whats wrong with what they're doing.

[Cocaine]

They dont really sound anything like ACDC

[Kage]

"It's about time bands started emulating ACDC"

That's either an extremely ironic statement or just plain foolish

[Dimmu Burger]

They dont really sound anything like ACDC

Some of their riffs make it obvious that they are ACDC fans.

[i am the robots]

1:00 into No Evil Angels by Rifles At Recess, awesome breakdown.

[i am the robots]

Some of their riffs make it obvious that they are ACDC fans.

Nonono, it makes it obvious that they've jumped on the southern bandwagon.

Also, ACDC is not classic, ACDC is ****ing terrible.

[masada]

ive got some sikk breakdowns in my arsenal of paaainnn

ACDC is a classic american rock band.

haha

[Dimmu Burger]

Whoops! lol


And ACDC is classic.

And ETID did the southern thing before there was a bandwagon.

[i am the robots]

ACDC blows hard, sorry.

[Dimmu Burger]

Ah well.

[Hbp]

ACDC blows hard, sorry.

This.

I just want to point out the sick intro of Locust Reign by Converge. Worthy of high breakdown status.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Everybody bitches about breakdowns and whether they are good or not, but I really don't give a toss. A breakdown is a breakdown, and they're ****ing awesome. Unless they are weak or too subtle.

To me, the more obvious and generic a breakdown is, the more fun it is.


Although I do laugh hysterically at the second breakdown in Unearth's "This Lying World".

[masterchaos]

Damage Inc. 3:15 mark....best breakdown ever

[sixner]

fug, I saw them awhile ago. The asian dude is nuts. his power stance is like, Epic.

I havent seen them since they got the asian dude.. Jason is it?

anyways, the band has gone on hiatus... due to drummer issues and other such stuff... Devin (guitar) and the singer are touring with a new band. i forget the name... the asian dude and bass player are lookin for a new band though.
