Like I said it kind of just depends on what you consider to be metalcore haha. A lot of kids these days use hardcore and metalcore interchangeably. And there’s a lot of cool stuff going on in hardcore. As far as new metalcore goes I’m not nearly as well versed anymore because I’m not crazy about the choppy breakdown style and everything that sounds kind of like this I do like but I’d really rather just jam Coalesce or something

everything botb said agreed

my friend said that this sounds like Norma Jean covering exoplanet by the contortionist and i can’t come up with a retort to that

holy shit lol, what?

not saying i agree with him but i did find it funny

this def riffs hard but i’m still not a fan of the way the drums are mixed

oh I didn't think you were agreeing with him, my comment was just in befuddlement at your friend's comparisons lol

Trendy ain't the problem problem is its freaking horrible worthless drivel with the shell of a decent math core album but 0 of the substance

Like it just sucks I'm sorry, this band is terrible at writing songs and has fooled u all with their style

it appeals mildly to the part of me whose favorite metalcore band ever is botch but it definitely does not have the uhhhhhh aggressive emotionality that sends botch over the top

i feel so dead inside to pretty much all modern metalcore and that’s probably my problem but gd nothing now hits me like until your heart stops by cave in or the first coalesce album or old man gloom or sumac

i think that band the armed is really good tho..............

Sumac hell yeah

“Like it just sucks I'm sorry, this band is terrible at writing songs and has fooled u all with their style”

If you could elaborate on how I’m being deceived and how their songwriting sucks or could provide some modern metalcore artists that’s I should be listening to I’d ove to hear it

Mixtape!

@loveisamixtape I love all those bands too and yea overall modern metalcore doesn’t have much on the glory days on the genre, but Seizures is one that really sticks out to me and The Sanity Universal is my fave core album this decade

Nah I'm not gonna elaborate and potentially ruin the deception for you

Here's an actual good, modern metalcore release that you may enjoy, and whilst not as spastic as seizures, songwriting is actually effective memorable and not worthless wannabe coalesce dogshite with 0 substance https://oakhardcore.bandcamp.com/album/oak

I dont recall the last time Coalesce put Jazzy Ambient breaks that sound like some older DnB into their music but okay.

music discussion is only interesting if persuasion is possible, but that's not the case here it seems
i'm sorry you can't enjoy this starless

True but those parts generally absolutely sucked and felt thrown in instead of truly meshing with the songwriting

i hate when bands overcompensate in technicality whether that be instrumentally or in the song structure, i don’t think that’s this album’s flaw at all tho bc it doesn’t sound illegible in that way. i think lyricism is lost in most modern metalcore and something that often shined in the glory days. this hardly breaks that mold for me bc the lyrics are clearly not even in the top 3 of what they want to shine, which is fine, but is a reason i don’t ~love~ it

that being said the vocalist does sound rly good all the time. sup pit

This meshes incredibly well, the way they hint at ideas using similar motifs help the individual cuts feel like part of something greater, despite their often stark overall stylistic or structural differences. Something like that anyway.

Yeah I fuck with this a lot, it’s very fun. On repeated listens I just realized how predictable the writing was. “Woah crazy spazzy mathcore and now it’s jazzy and surfy sounding!!?” Every song. I liked their last full length more and I still like this it just kind of wore off after the first couple listens
