AILD is pretty good, though not the best in the genre. I'm more of a sucker for just straight brutality and heaviness than anything else. AILD writes some great stuff and then other times just falls short.

[QUOTE=Invicta_Veritas;15553487]I probably wouldn't mind it. Usually when someone bitches about something being "generic", it's actually pretty good...just not original.

Not saying you're bitching; just making a general reference.[/QUOTE]

Well that's what I mean. It's very formulaic, but it does have some good hooks.

As I Lay Dying's newest album is their best one.

[QUOTE=Luc214;15553342]Anyway I checked out Bring Me The Horizon, their breakdowns are kind of boring but I like the vocals.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Oli Syke's has a hell of a voice.

[QUOTE=Invicta_Veritas;15553497]Never bothered to check out Himsa, despite thier popularity. What are they like?[/QUOTE]

they are sort of like Heaven Shall Burn, but with a more hardcore style. on their new album, they decided to add solos. i guess you can say they are a mix of Unearth and Heaven Shall Burn but not as good as the two

Oh. I'll put checking them out on the back burner. I love HSB too much to hear their style butchered right now.

Himsa and Heaven Shall Burn both blow son.

Shut up mappy, HSB kill.

Heaven Shall Burn = one of the blandest bands I've ever heard. I'm rarely as indifferent as I was when I heard their last album.

Heaven Shall Burn kills people WITH THEIR BLANDNESS

Crackheads.


They would be better if they played solos though.

Although I haven't heard all of Deaf to Our Prayers, so they might.

As I Lay Dying is one of the most generic bands ever, they are right up there with August Burns Red.

August Burns Red in my opinion is one of the most talented bands in the genre. They write in abstract numbers of 5 and 6 in their riffs instead of 4. That's why the riffs sound very random at times but there actually is a method to the madness. And you're dumb if you think their drummer isn't good.

I think their music isn't good. Plenty of talented instrumentalists and musicians are in shitty as **** bands.

Hey, to each his own. Personally their my favorite metalcore outfit out there right now.

so unique i agree

I'm assuming that's sarcasm. So lemme put it this way. It's putting a completely different spin on a very played-out genre thats slowly going down the tubes. While some people hate these guys I love 'em. And if you're a drummer then I'd like you see to try to keep up with this guys. He's phenomenal.

I like AILD and ABR, but yeah, extremely generic and nowhere near the most talented at anything.
