there is no rule that says hardcore has to be simplistic

[QUOTE=Monticello;15451266]Most of the metalcore I hear these days sounds pretty similar. But I'm not really educated I suppose, so if you can show me some good original metalcore bands that aren't Botch or Converge, I'll agree with you.[/QUOTE]

Shai Hulud
Rosesdead
Between the Buried and Me
Bridge to Solace
Zombie Apocalypse
Indecision
Miscreants

...all represent entirely different styles of metalcore (while undoubtedly retaining both metal and hardcore elements [BtBaM maybe not belonging on the list but, meh]) and I think they're all really good. :)

Okay, its not the is an International Genre Assocation. Characteristics of music dictate its genre.

Thanks Pete.:chug:

Zombie Apocalypse is so goddamn good.

I always think people associating BTBAM with metalcore is such a bad thing because they are so much better, as well as incorporate so many different styles as opposed to what bands are considered metalcore. My friend called them metalcore, and I just stared at him.

Also, Shai Hulud is really good.<3

Shai Hulud is really good so far, but that's only a few seconds talking because The Simpsons is on and that gets priority :thumb:

[QUOTE=i am the robots;15451492]Zombie Apocalypse is so goddamn good.[/QUOTE]

more true than butter on toast

i just want them to drop a full-length, concept album (though that's a given since they're sort of a concept band)

it'd be so awesome

Shai Hulud is boring. Zombie Apocalypse is cool, though.

My band opened for Shai Hulud [and Dead To Fall and One Dead Three Wounded] last September.

thats cool

I don't like any of those bands, but that's cool that your band plays shows.

No shows until June though [damn drummer and guitarist and their college]. :(

Yeah, was fun.

[QUOTE=JumpTheF**kUp;15451302]He's probably referring to the fact that they are dissimilar to most modern day bands that are considered metalcore (eg. Trivium (ugh)).[/QUOTE]

Wow. Converge is metalcore, Diabolus in Musica is obviously handicapped.

Btw, I just found these guys Suicide Silence and they're very brutal. Anyone heard? They're in the vein on JFAC and BMTH (both awesome bands). I also just heard this new band Beneath The Sky, and they're wicked heavy aswell.

Meh, to compare JFAC and BMTH alone is idiocy, then to lump Suicide Silence with them is even worse. Your joke is offensive. :mad:

Hbp, stop being dumb and listen to Integrity.

ive only heard those who fear tomorrow

it was decent

Integrity is awesome, but it's still alot of the same 90's hardcore with slow parts that you love.

Beneath the sky is good and i really feel that all the new commers at victory they are metal have been pretty good (Nights Like These, Arise and Ruin, TAO, BTS) but victory still pretty much sucks

:lol:

see victory will never be forgiven for signing crappy bands and having Hawthorne hights

Hawthorne Heights is sick brah

"Doom" is pretty similar to what I've heard from Suicide Silence

Not at all, seriously.
