It was probably along the lines of all that popular faux-metalcore.

You could very well be right... metalcore is still new to me.

Check out my top 10 metalcore albums list. DO IT.

I'm on it boss ;)

I saw that BTBAM argument just now... is that where you think you made all the "friends".This Message Edited On 11.09.07

I've only heard the album by Underoath, and I can't say I really liked it. I do have "Define the Great Line" and that is really good. I'll look into the rest, but I can't say that I'm a huge fan of metalcore (or at least most of the mainstream stuff I've heard).

I just revamped my list because I felt it sucked, look at it now.

The melodic death one is more lulzworthy.This Message Edited On 11.09.07

I went through the first 8's myspace pages... they all have a lot more hardcore influence then the metalcore that I've heard of before... and they're all a lot more raw.

Edit: That being said, I can't see myself getting into any of them either... I don't think metalcore is really my thing... minus a few albums on occasion. I do have to say that "Bridge To Solace" was the best of what I heard. This Message Edited On 11.09.07

Is this among the best among German black metal? I'm not very familiar with any of the bands but so far this sounds pretty good (Frühlingswachen)
