Looks like these guys are playing a couple of new tracks at their live shows, but I am at work and haven't had a chance to watch the footage yet...

Lovely review by Trey



The only In Flames album I ever listened to was "The Jesper Race" and I never really got into Dark Tranquility. Anyways, I really enjoyed this album by The Halo Effect. Sometimes I wonder why metalcore bands don't have decent riffs and manly clean vocals like this melodic death metal band for example. Wasn't metalcore originally inspired by hardcore punk and melodic death metal?



Favorite track: Days of the Lost

old metalcore used to be more punk/metal hybrid but early 00's melodic metalcore started taking huge influences from At the Gates specifically, so contemporary metalcore largely draws from that.

For sure, melodeath styled mxc and old school hxc/mxc is a very different vibe

Unearth is still carrying the melodeath-inspired metalcore torch, especially with their newest single

@Vira heaps of metalcore bands do have “manly” clean vocals; Only Living Witness were a huge influence on the New England metalcore scene in the 90s, and their vocal style is exclusively clean. The popularisation of the “whiny” metalcore chorus came later, in the mid 00s, and was mostly cross-pollinated from pop punk and post-hardcore.

well the melodicity of metalcore is a good subject, because in the earlier bands (which has also affected early melodic deathcore), the melodies were influenced in probably equal parts by melodic death metal and crust punk. Crust punk sense of melody pervades a lot of hardcore-adjacent metal music in the US
