nah, the scenes pretty dead. 3-4 years ago there used to be shows every week from decent tours that would come through, but because utica is basically the center of the state it became a place where albany kids would come to fight syracuse/auburn/rochester kids, and then they all started fighting each other and now everyone hates everyone.

last decent show here was suffokate last winter, but they fucking suck so idk. mongoloids and death before dishonor are playing in january, and supposedly this shady booker is or at least was trying to set up TUI somewhere around here, but we'll see how that actually goes.

death before dishonor put on a hell of a show at the westcott communtiy center, but that was 2005, where and when are they playing?

attila has some cool leads

so awful. if they had better vocals, they MIGHT be okay.

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;18315161]attila has some cool leads[/QUOTE]

Even I can't listen to Attila. That says something.

so Thy Art is Murder are pretty fucking good?

Better than your average deathcore band, but not brilliant.

[I]kinda [/I]brilliant though

but i love despised icon and beneath the massacre and they fall kinda in between those two in sound (maybe a bit more melodic) so it's right up my alley

infinite death rules but i havent checked out their new one. is it worth getting?

yeah spot on Pete they are a mix of those two, The Red Shore have followed that style too

Jake, their new one goes down the straight dm style. Infinite Death is still their best but I liked their direction change too still pretty bloody good

yeah, i like it a lot, really brutal and with plenty of wanking and noodling, yet well-written. this and "invade" by Within the Ruins are my faves in this genre this year, i think. i need to listen to this more though, only just got it.

I love that band.

cool, yeah it is structured well too, and are much tighter too. I noticed this when I saw them with DI and The Red Shore just recently. i actually have the same top two as you :p

Exoplanet is one of the best heavier releases this year imo.

if you listen to music that is heavy and you're talking about deathcore you're doing it wrong

brent no-one fucking cares

what the hell, thy art is murder sounds pretty sweet then a lame breedown comes in

fuck

album is pretty good aside from a couple songs with brodowns

take those out and it's a solid 7/10 album, good catchy riffs

pretty sure there isn't such thing as a deathcore album higher than 7/10 anyway

[QUOTE=adb;18316558]what the hell, thy art is murder sounds pretty sweet then a lame breedown comes in

thy art is murder's eps are too good, regardless of breakdowns

i mean, if you're looking for deathcore and don't want breakdowns you're just doing it wrong

same with brutal death metal

but you claim wretched's new album doesn't have breakdowns lololol

yes thats lame

[QUOTE=2muchket!;18316547]Exoplanet is one of the best heavier releases this year imo.[/QUOTE]

ah yes this was my 2nd fave of the year Thy Art shifts down one rung, still to decide whether I like Wretched better than Thy Art too

forgot about exoplanet gonna listen to that after paysage

My band opened for Wretched, they played almost all new songs, and every song had at least two breakdowns.

wretched's old stuff is more breakdown-y, they probably played a lot of it

there have been a bunch of songs on good albums I've deleted beacuse of breakdowns and wretched's old one is a great example. Awesome songs, just a few duds (boring chugging). Same with Invade by WiT and Thy Art is Murder.

New Wretched is a lot more melodic and is basically tech melodic death metal with less filler breakdowns, easily an 8/10

and justin, if you like exoplanet but hate on my exploding planet tech death, you're a hypocritical faggot, it's the same shit but with breakdowns instead of widdly-diddly soloing

dude exoplanet has at least a little diversity that shit you listen to doesnt

bull

shit

exoplanet is just as formulaic as the bands I listen to - faceless, obscura, etc

faceless has a lot of jazz-fusion influence, obscura is baroque influenced and has acoustic elements

and they don't have breakdowns in every goddamn song

lol

yes, breakdowns are lol

brent your opinions are lol
