Stop saying "crust punk." It's just crust...and if you don't think it's better than metalcore, you're a fool! Listen to:

His Hero Is Gone
Ekkaia
Behind Enemy Lines
Electro Hippies
Fear Is The Path To The Darkside
Damad

My whole opinion on the genre is based off of what a female showed me... and well, girls normally have bad taste.

So yeah, checking out that list one by one now...

Trust me. At least listen to His Hero Is Gone and Ekkaia. I'm like...987435092983475203487634% sure you would like them both. Especially Ekkaia.

So far His Hero Is Gone sounds pretty sweet.

Ekkaia is indeed awesome!

Well just off of first listen.

Yeah, they rule. If you like them, you should definitely check out Damad.

How about I eventually just download that whole list. Because the two I've checked out, yeah, awesome. Especially Ekkaia.

Well, just to let you know, His Hero Is Gone, Damad, and Ekkaia sound a lot different than other crust bands. WAAAAAAY heavier than most (crust) and they have an almost sludgey sound at times.

I see.

Also, here's that one Architects song I keep ranting about.

That's a pretty good song.

Yeah, I really like it. It sounds more like Circle Takes The Square than Architects though, it's strange.

Architects pretty much have to sound like a different band if they want to sound any good.

I don't know, Nightmares has a pretty unique sound to it... the new one's more generic, but it's still based in their sound.

Undying anyone?

CTTS gets on my nerves. Why is the production so clear and nice? I want some raw production.

Black metal style.

Maybe not that raw...maybe like Orchid raw.

because they are going for that "epic" sound

I don't think they sound very epic.

sorry for not providing link sooner

Yeah, the production on their self-titled is a lot better (well worse actually, but it fits more) than on As The Roots Undo.
