yeah ABR and completely generic, whereas KsE and AILD are prettymuch generic.

KSE and AILD are both incredibly generic.

Not as much as ABR. I can tell KsE and AILD apart from other bands, ABR I cannot.

[QUOTE=RetiredAt21;16247068]KSE and AILD are both incredibly generic.[/QUOTE]

they are but they're both fun listens

they dont compare to better metalcore bands like poison the well, architects, botch etc but they're still a good listen

Yeah they are like pop metal.

They're generic because everyone copies them.

[QUOTE=illpressureurhinges1;16247132]They're generic because everyone copies them.[/QUOTE]

errr not quite

everyone copies ptw and botch

KsE and AILD are generic becuase of the forumula they have. Although good their songs do sometimes get samey. Hence the term generic.

Yeah they did get popular before most of the bands that sound like them.

I still can't tell how you could say ABR is generic. I'll say the vocals are, and of course the breakdowns, that's it.

Well I just ABR are awful and generic tbh

:[ Their vocals are still less generic than Sylosis'

They are in no way generic... Frankie, name more than 3 bands that sound anything like them?

i like kse even though they're "generic"

going to see them next month

[QUOTE=Frankie;16247209]Well I just ABR are awful and generic tbh[/QUOTE]

dude, theyre so good live

KSE are pretty damn boring, but AILD keep my attention. they will forever be one of my fav metalcore bands. ABR are not bad, but i just dont like them.

i really have been digging Xenesthis, Epicurean, and A Breach On Heaven lately

I just started listening to Epicurean. Pretty good stuff...

yeah their album was surprisingly good and solid. they actually made CoB-esque keyboards bearable for a whole album

i might get beaten up for this but i also should mention that i really like At All Cost (theyre awesome metalcore with some post-hardcore elements). i guess i just find them really catchy

I've just listened to a few songs off their new album so far, but everything I've heard has been above average or better. I just need to start listening to it a little more.

i actually thought they were just average at first but after a few listens i started to like it a lot. the vocals are really good

I liked it since the first listen. They do a pretty good mix of harsh and melodic vocals.

the vocals definitely are what kept me listening, but im starting to appreciate their instrumentals now a bit more. theyre nothing special but they do a good job mixing metalcore and melo death riffs

It works, because I like it. I'm actually listening to them right now.

I think I'm gonna stop posting in this thread. I can only bring up elite metalcore bands only so many times.

[QUOTE=asdemonsburn;16247217]:[ Their vocals are still less generic than Sylosis'[/QUOTE]

yes but Sylosis overally pwn ABR.

Superior musicianship ftw

both bands have really good lead guitarists. its hard to tell whose better since they play different styles.

Sylosis - omg sweeps

ABR - omg catchy riffs

ABR's drummer pwns Sylosis btw

Sylosis' vocalist and ABR's sound quite similar but they're both not that good. Plus atleast you can distinguish between Sylosis songs. With ABR its a alot harder.

And the drums arent better really.

But as Sylosis aren't metalcore lets keep them out of this thread.

What kind of music is Sylosis?

idk really

they class themselves as 'thrash' but their sound is more melo-death I'd say.

Eh, I'll pass.

anybody like the new Burning Skies album? imo its good but not as good as [I]Desolation[/I]
