[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]I haven't heard Animosity, I don't think. I haven't heard much Darkest Hour, but I never really thought of them as death at all.[/QUOTE]
Animosity rules. And old Darkest Hour is deathy. New stuff isn't even close really.
[QUOTE]Got any suggestions for bands that lean more towards the hardcore side of the spectrum? (sorry, don't mean to be buggin' ya, if I am)

I see what you mean with the genre confusion, which is one reason I'm don't really say that it's a genre yet. I'm just listening around right now, so i can get an idea of what elements would be best used to make deathcore a realized genre.[/QUOTE]
The thing is that I don't think you can have "death metal/hardcore". It's a sort of misnomer. You can have "death metal/metalcore", because once you add metal to hardcore you've pretty much lost what was really hardcore to begin with. That's just my opinion.

Most of the death metal/metalcore bands are the ones either incorporating Swedish death metal stuff into what has become the popular conception of "metalcore", or they're crustier or grindier bands who I think have more of a hang on what metalcore really is. I just tend to gravitate torwards the sort of original Converge-style metalcore with death metal influences in place of the Darkest Hour/Black Dahlia Murder type stuff. So I dig stuff like Ayat Akrass, Animosity, Bodies In The Gears Of The Apparatus, stuff like that.

Sounds good. I will check out these bands asap. :thumb:

You sound like you have a similar aste to me in this area.

I might go to a Shattered Realm show on sunday, mainly just to see Bitter End.

I would go just for Shattered Realm. I found myself singing This World Is Mine all last night outside of Showcase.

SD: Animosity is exactly the kind of band I've been looking for. You can clearly hear the hardcore and death in them. Most bands like BTBAM and Glass Casket seem to lean more towards death than they do hardcore or metalcore. Those other bands I couldn't find anything for, unless I waited in queue behind hundreds of other people.

Adora and Bleeding Through are gonna be going through California in November.

Homecoming was pretty cool.

I like Bleeding Through. :-/

Why does everyone hate them?

You're a hottie Sam.

[QUOTE=YOURESORAD]'grindcore' is retarded.[/QUOTE]
Shut up.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]The deathcore thing hasn't really taken effect around here, it's just a thing my friend and I have been toying around with, since I may be joining his band very soon. I don't even think it's a real genre yet, which is what we plan to fix. :cool:

So basically, Kentucky just blows?

What about the Louisville area?[/QUOTE]


The louisville area is amazing, despite the fact that many bigger bands don't come here. Other than that, the kids are nice, the venues are usually good, and the music is awesome.

Shattered Realm is so good.

AS THE DAYS GO BY I WATCH YOU DIE.

Seriously how can you not love those lyrics.

I just realized how fun last night was. It was my friend's last night in Irvine so we had an all nighter.

[QUOTE=40 oz 2 freedom]You're a hottie Sam.[/QUOTE]

Thank you Patrick. Likewise.

Lets date.

I'm in.

[QUOTE=Forest_Fire]The louisville area is amazing, despite the fact that many bigger bands don't come here. Other than that, the kids are nice, the venues are usually good, and the music is awesome.[/QUOTE]
The only problem I have, is that Louisville is three hours away and I have about four months before I get my liscense.

My mom won't drive me up there, and I really don't want to try to get the people around here to carpool or anything, because they would just bitch and whine about it and cause other locals to not support it. It would only work for a couple of shows, then they would stop.

Meh... I need to f[SIZE="2"]uc[/SIZE]king move.

The bassist jumped into the crowd, nailed my friend in the head. Great times :cool:

Keep an eye open for these men.

Tight Tom Delonge strat.

Go away.

Nate, did you get me tha shiat?

You owe me so hard man, I had to sacrifise my hood to your vinyl just to keep it out of goddamn British weather while waiting for about 3 seperate night buses. One blinged up bus lame was like, oh yeh my bus stops here, youll have to wait for the next one.This was at 3 am outside the 'Southern Fried Chicken' Joint in some wierd corner of london, where he went in and met his homes. No lie.

Best show ever though. Seriously.

Ill sort out everything by the weekend and give you the paypal details.

You're awsome man.

What kind of reaction with the crowd did GIA and Blue Monday get?

And I've been waiting, all these years for nothing.
I <3 Sinking Ships.

All the 300lb LBU'ers hung back while all the kids that knew how to had a good time messed the place up. Was a total party.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]I mean, in my area everyone seems to act like they know more than everyone else and that they are better than everyone else. Not to mention, they are all just trendy kids that would go ballistic at the idea of someone calling them trendy. They all seem to think that if you aren't standing around like a statue or dancing, then you have no right to have fun. Can't some guys just have a normal good ol' mosh pit?

I was under this assumption that hardcore was a friendly and positive genre and culture, but I am really losing faith in my scene. They take everything too the extreme, and are just stubborn morons.[/QUOTE]
I have a friend who is from Kentuck, and he said the scene is good. Not many bands come there, but it doesn't matter who's playing a show, everybody comes.

NOt in south-eastern Kentucky. We have people that come, but they are severely uneducated and unappreciative.

Up north and west the scene is much better.

The Kodan Armada is from Louisville, no?

he's from victoriaville or something like taht

Nah, the band.

[QUOTE=cbmartinez]The Kodan Armada is from Louisville, no?[/QUOTE]
i am pretty sure they are, they have a home site, its kodanarmada.tk, it doesnt always open for me though.
