Yeah, TMOJA is really good.

His Hero Is Gone is my new favorite band. I listened to them before, but I really fell in love with them after I heard the songs "Carry On" and "Epidemic." F'ucking amazing. Does anyone have the lyrics to either of those songs by the way?

Does anyone know anything about the band formed with ex-nasum members? Or when they're planning to record anything?

[quote=J]I only have the two that ye have, as I sent ye those two. I need to get more myself. :lol:[/quote]
Ha, yeah. I searched them on Interpunk the other day and they have like 5 albums. I'll have to look for some on Soulseek later.

[quote=Subvert_bassist]I have no ****ing clue.

"Smells like pus[size="2"]s[/size]y!"[/quote]
:lol: They're like 5 year old kids.

"SMELLS! LIKE! A PILE OF BULLSH[size="2"]I[/size]T!

That gets me pumped up every time I listen to it.

[quote=Peter]OMg MoJA is so good. I want them so come north and play with my band.[/quote]
That would be sweet. But I don't know if their parents would let them. THEY APPEAR TO BE AROUND THE AGE OF 13.

I have to say, grind is the superior form of music, above all other forms. Except for melodic hardcore; From Ashes Rise is god.

I hereby pronouce His Hero Is Gone the best band in the world.

grind owns all

Grind does indeed own all. Grind music changed my life. :)

I've been working on mastering blastbeats. I can play them alright, but I can't put any bass drum with the cymbal/snare. It's way too hard and it'll take a while to build up my leg muscles. But when I was playing them, the veins in my arm were all popping out and the muscle in my forearm is pretty strong.

Being able to play blastbeats well is quite the hurdle. I know my one friend couldn't play a good blastbeat for around 4 months. But he does awesome blastbeats now.

I liked that band when I first heard them. That one guy J was friends with used to like them a lot.

'His Hero Is Gone' is a rather lame name in my opinion.

I'm not sure, but I really need to find this out.

All you silly grinders still need to realize that THRASH is far more superior than your little blast beats and growls. :lol:

I still prefer From Ashes Rise over all the other bands they've made thus far.

I'mma be there with you! :naughty:

can some please give me a deffinition of a blastbeat ? i think it is wjen the drummer hits the snare really hard but ia m not sure

I don't know the exact definition, but I know what it sounds like.

I guess it's like every beat is hit on a snare/cymbal at an extremely fast speed.

[QUOTE=Theramed]can some please give me a deffinition of a blastbeat ? i think it is wjen the drummer hits the snare really hard but ia m not sure[/QUOTE]

Blast beat is a drum beat consisting of torrents of alternating or simultaneous snare and bass drums. The hi-hat or a ride cymbal is often played simultaneously with either the bass drum or the snare drum, and occasionally a crash cymbal or china cup is also featured. Diverse patterns and timings are also frequently employed by more technical players. While this method is often used to create a forceful climax, a blastbeat can constitute the bulk of an entire song.

Blast beats have their roots in hardcore punk as well as thrash metal, however in modern standards the snare work is frequently comparable to established snare patterns in jazz. Blast beats are a prominent feature of death metal, black metal and grindcore to increase the speed, density, and percussiveness. Nevertheless they can also be found in other genres, including doom metal. The blast beat is a fundamental component in nearly all of extreme metal. Bands making extensive use of it include Origin, Cryptopsy, Napalm Death, Dying Fetus, Hate Eternal, Suffocation and Dark Funeral among others.

The original use in metal is generally attributed to SOD and Napalm Death. The former showcased the technique by a double-handed blast beat in the track "Milk". The latter started using it as a fundament of their musical compositions.

Early blast beats were generally quite slow and less precise compared to today's standards. Nowadays, a blast beat is normally played in tempos from 180 bpm upwards, with so-called "hyperblast beats" (achieved by using a one-handed roll on the snare and hi-hat and double bass drum) existing in the range of 260-340 bpm. There is also what is called a "gravity blast" which implements a different kind one-handed roll, called a gravity roll, a relatively recent invention which uses the rim of the snare as a fulcrum on which the stick is rocked back and forth, allowing two snare hits with each full arm motion (one on the down motion, and another coming up). Of the three the gravity blast allows the fastest speeds, as it essentially allows the work of two hands to be performed with one.

Typical blast beats consist of 8th note snare and 8th or 16th note bass drum hits, on the top of which a cymbal, normally a hi-hat or a ride, is hit, in Quarter or 8th notes. Variations exist. Some people (most notably Derek Roddy) maintain the bass drum should be played with one foot for the best effect in blast using 8th note bass drum strokes; however, others (in fact the majority of extreme metal drummers) split the 8th notes between both feet.

Dave's the man.

That gravity blastbeat thing sounds weird.

Edit: Nasum - Human 2.0 is an incredible album.

I've been trying for months but I just can't seem to get the hang of that 'gravity roll' thing. My left hand has been getting faster with playing blast beats, though.

Holy crap Dave. That's the best definition of a blastbeat I've ever seen. Dave f'ucking rules.

Deep Wound was a pretty good early example of using blast beats. Their drummer was intense even for a hardcore band.

thanks guys dave especially

I'm pretty sure Dave didn't write that.

NP: Nasum - Shift

Awesome album, Wrath is such a good song.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote this for the genre definitions:
Power Violence is a sub genre of grindcore, and contains shrieked, high pitched vocals, very fast guitar, and very fast drums, using blast beats very often. Songs are played at such break-neck speed that power violence songs are often no more than 1 minute long, and are at times as short as 20 seconds long. Power Violence was pioneered in the 80's, from bands such as Infest, and Siege. It had it's greatest explosion in the early 90's, often refered to as the second wave of power violence, containing bands such as **** on the Beach, Charles Bronson, and Spazz. Bands such as Capitalist Casualties, Man Is the Bastard, and No Comment were called the first wave of power violence.

the blastbeat thing is wikipedia. figured you out dave haha.
