BlastRiffsBeatTechno: My Top 5 Metalcore Bands

geasoftime 08.14.13	Half this site listens to metalcore.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	Ha, I bet. But it seems like no matter what, you'll always get hated on for listening to metalcore.
iwasnvrurbf 08.14.13	eughhhhhh converge botch kvelertak (not exactly metalcore but you should listen to them)
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@iwasnvrurbf: I do listen to Converge, but not often.
Gmork89 08.14.13	Killswitch is pretty good.
JokineAugustus 08.14.13	Zao Dillinger Btbam (I know I know) Botch The Agonist
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Gmork89: I listen to In Flames, but I don't consider them metalcore.
Curse. 08.14.13	listen to Shai Hulud
Gmork89 08.14.13	I wasn't going for pure Metalcore, just stuff that kind of fit based on your list.
oresttt 08.14.13	Crydebris, Rosesdead, Botch, Amia Venera Landscape, Exotic Animal Petting Zoo, Misery Signals... or just wait for wacknizzle to comment. :]
Curse. 08.14.13	Grow balls and listen to The Red Chord
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@curseworship: I have listened to them before, but they didn't capture my attention. @Gmork89: All right then, thanks for the recommendations!
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@curseworship: I never cared for The Red Chord.
Curse. 08.14.13	you are helpless
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@curseworship: Whatever...
oresttt 08.14.13	Seriously dude, listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSXFDcLvukI
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@oresttt: I'll check it out, thanks for the link.
PortraitsOfDecay 08.14.13	Misery Signals, Poison the Well, and Botch are all pretty good but you defiantly need to check out Skycamefalling.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@PortraitsOfDecay: I've heard a lot about Misery Signals, but I never bothered to listen to them. I'll check them out though! Thanks for the recommendations!
snerefedsav 08.14.13	emmure attila
RivalSkoomaDealer 08.14.13	Dillinger Converge BtBaM Parkway Drive Amia Venera Landscape
BigPleb 08.14.13	DILLINGER AREN'T FUCKING METALCORE,
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@br1nk: Parkway Drive is already on my list, and I have to agree with TheBigLebowski, as The Dillinger Escape Plan is mathcore.
RivalSkoomaDealer 08.14.13	Well whatever.
YakNips 08.14.13	Veil of Maya
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Decayingmajesty: All of Parkway Drives albums go hard, man! :)
Trebor. 08.14.13	David Bowie
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Decayingmajesty: I'm not sure which As I Lay Dying album is my favorite, but The Powerless Rise is a great album! @Trebor17: You must be kidding me...
Ecksavie 08.14.13	@snerefedsav: No Not particularly imaginary list, but it's hard to argue with the big names. Also, what is it with people calling DEP, Converge, Botch, etc. metalcore? I mean, really? Why not labelling -everything- metalcore and be done with it.
FearThyEvil 08.14.13	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=444563&listid=129041 Just try this list
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Ecksavie: Well, I don't listen to a lot of metalcore, just these five and August Burns Red. And I don't know why either, those bands aren't really metalcore.
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Metalcore? This guy listens to shitty music.
climactic 08.14.13	mathcore is a stupid genre tag
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@FearThyEvil9: Thanks for the link, now I can search up some of those bands that I don't know that are on that list.
kingjulian 08.14.13	August Burns Red. Your list has bad bands on it.
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	3-5 are complete shit. All that Remains has one good album and they've been garbage ever since. Parkway Drive are still good. Heaven Shall Burn are still good.
FearThyEvil 08.14.13	1 and 3 are good but the rest are really eh.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@climactic: It's an odd sounding genre name, for sure.
climactic 08.14.13	"metalcore" is a really diverse genre i mean there are 3 distinct styles that all fall under that tag
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	elaborate
wacknizzle 08.14.13	dude metalcore is rock n roll, c'mon we discussed this
Ecksavie 08.14.13	If you like this kind of stuff, I'd suggest these: 1. This Or The Apocalypse - Haunt What's Left 2. The Devil Wears Prada - Zombie 3. In Hearts Wake - Divination 4. Texas In July - Texas In July 5. War Of Ages - Eternal 6. The Soulless - Isolated 7. Unearth - The March 8. Scarlet - Cult Classic 9. The Sorrow - Blessing From A Blackened Sky 10. Hopesfall - The Satellite Years
FearThyEvil 08.14.13	^All of those suck horribly except Scarlet and Unearth and that is also Unearth's worst album. He just added in Hopesfall too so that's another good one.
climactic 08.14.13	well theres shit like converge, shai hulud, 7a7p, PTW etc which is actually a mix of METAL and HARDCORE then there's ABR, AILD, parkway drive style which is pretty much melo-death with hardcore vocals and breakdowns and then there's the shit....attack attack, emmure and that scenie stuff
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Nah man, Unearth is still fucking terrible
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Jacquibim: Why did you copy and paste my description and list? @Ecksavie: Will do, but I'm going to skip The Devil Wears Prada and Texas In July. Those two bands I don't care for.
FearThyEvil 08.14.13	ABR,AILD, and Parkway Drive melo-death? What are smoking? Heaven Shall Burn and Darkest Hour do the melo-death metalcore thing.
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Hmmm, I guess I just always considered Converge and Shai Hulud to be straight hardcore. Or a combination of hardcore and grind in Converge's case. I can see where you're coming from though. Metalcore has always been a pretty misleading genre.
climactic 08.14.13	you could even argue there's a 4th style which is the super technical, melodic "djenty" style (elitist, volumes, after the burial)
Ecksavie 08.14.13	@FearThyEvil9: The March might not be their best, but it's the closest to what he has said to like. Let him start from there and see where it takes him. @Blast: TDWP is generally horrendapigs, but Zombie was a rare movement of lucidity for the band. Pretty cool shit, in my opinion. Anyway, happy trails man.
FearThyEvil 08.14.13	Nah man, Unearth is still fucking terrible Not the Oncoming Storm.
wacknizzle 08.14.13	melodic/dissonant/math/metallic hardcore/deathcore-ish metalcore
climactic 08.14.13	"ABR,AILD, and Parkway Drive melo-death? What are smoking? Heaven Shall Burn and Darkest Hour do the melo-death metalcore thing." didnt say they WERE melodeath but yea, those bands borrow HEAVILY from the gothenberg sound. all those minor-key riffs are straight from melodeath
climactic 08.14.13	heaven shall burn and darkest hour lean more towards melodeath than they do metalcore. other way around for those other bands
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@climactic: I agree with you that Heaven Shall Burn are a bit more melodic death metal, but i'm not quite sure about Darkest Hour, as I don't listen to them much.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Darkest Hour's new album is pretty fucking bad ass. You should check it out. I mean, listen to this shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m06ayCYCIJQ
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Ecksavie: Isn't their newest release still The Human Romance?
Ecksavie 08.14.13	It is. I suppose it's not that "new" anymore. It's solid though.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Ecksavie: OK, just making sure. Thanks for the link, I'll give it a full listen.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Enjoy :)
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Actually, also get Pass the Flask from The Bled; you might dig it.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Ecksavie: All right, I'll check that out as well.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	You will definitely dig the "Sounds of Sulfur" track on there.
FearThyEvil 08.14.13	All the stuff being mentioned is basically on that list I sent you that I made. Not the exact albums per say but the bands.
demigod! 08.14.13	listen to Integrity
DrHouseSchuldiner 08.14.13	listen to Botch bro
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Ecksavie: I hope I will. @FearThyEvil9: OK, thanks for the list. @demigod93 and DrHouseSchuldiner: Thanks for the recommendations!
Ecksavie 08.14.13	@FearThyEvil9: It's a pretty conclusive list, but I find it kind of uses "metalcore" rather loosely. I'd probably label a lot of stuff on there as simply hardcore or mathcore. Still, mostly good stuff.
FearThyEvil 08.14.13	Botch is the shit and probably my favorite metalcore band.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Botch is great, but hardly metalcore. I just remembered a song y'all will dig from some obscure split: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHJ5IJmNEOc
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Late to the discussion but as for Darkest Hour, they're solidly melodic death metal. They are actually credited as being one of the pioneering bands of the Gothenburg sound despite being an American band. They're not so much metalcore as they are the band that inspired the more melodic metalcore bands. Heaven Shall Burn definitely has metalcore leanings but they take their influences from melodic death metal bands like Edge of Sanity, who they're obviously found of.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Aye, I'm inclined to agree with both. However, that doesn't take away the fact that both are great bands. I also love HSB's cover of Black Tears. ;)
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@ZippaThaRippa: I was just listening to Darkest Hour and I do agree with them being melodic death metal, although they also sound a bit metalcore(ish). I also agree with the Heaven Shall Burn thing as well.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Ecksavie: Agreed, that cover is amazing!
Scoot 08.14.13	tfu deadguy kiss it goodbye integrity curl up and die scarlet spitfire will haven rorschach reflux
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Animosity Animosity Animosity Animosity Animosity Animosity Animosity Animosity Animosity.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@ZippaThaRippa: Animosity is technical death metal/deathcore.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Here we go with the labelling. ;)
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	It doesn't matter because Animosity is better than anything that has been mentioned in this list so far.
JokineAugustus 08.14.13	Zao> Ebrything in exsistance
Ecksavie 08.14.13	I would be inclined to disagree with both of you, but that's a matter of taste I suppose.
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Animosity is the fuckin sickest shit ever and that's a matter of FACT brochevsky. I'll take you to court.
SIMBOLIC 08.14.13	Sweet someone else likes parkway
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@SIMBOLIC: A lot of us here do.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Sure. As long as I get to take your Animosity CDs to the locker. Got to have some stuff to jam. ;)
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Y'all must be the younger crowd. I was into this stuff when I was a wee young sputniker.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@ZippaThaRipper: Hey, I may be 17, but I like Animosity and I mostly listen to old-school thrash and death metal.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Nah, metalcore is just fun. The only reason people diss this stuff is because sputnik breeds elitism and metalcore isn't particularly "complex" music. But it's fun, so fuck 'em.
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Nothing wrong with it. We all learn and grow. I joined when I was 14 and my favorite bands were Slipknot and Escape the Fate. Shine the fuck on.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	Amen. I've been lurking the shit out of this website for a long time, thought I'd finally make the jump. Still, metalcore is a genre people love to hate.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@Ecksavie: Agreed, metalcore is fun to listen too.
ZippaThaRippa 08.14.13	Can you blame them? A good deal of metalcore's most popular bands are generic shitbuckets with swoopy haircuts and lazy chug-a-minute riffs.
JokineAugustus 08.14.13	Btw, Zao influenced As I Lay Dying a lot.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.14.13	@ZippaThaRippa: Like Miss May I and shit.
Ecksavie 08.14.13	No, of course not, but equally, a lot of death metal or black metal's popular bands are generic shitbuckets with long hair and retarded outfits who all play the same shitty blast beats and have the same god awful vocals. Most of us are not on here for the generic bands though. Besides, it's only those ignorant and less enlightened plebs who listen to that shit anyway, in any genre. ;)
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.15.13	@Ecksavie: It's like how most of the 80's thrash metal bands had long hair and "tough" guy attitudes. That seemed to be a big trend back then.
Ecksavie 08.15.13	Exactly. Mediocrity galore.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.15.13	@Ecksavie: Yeah, but if the band sounds good, who cares right?
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.15.13	@Jacquibim: No, I haven't actually. Are they good?
ZippaThaRippa 08.15.13	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5SkcwHykU0
ZippaThaRippa 08.15.13	Hahaha
Ecksavie 08.15.13	Ugh, Ulcerate.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.15.13	@Jacquibim: All right, I'll check them out. Thanks for the recommendation. And come on, the bands on my list are great!
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.15.13	@Jacquibim: OK at least you like HSB. I mean, how can anyone NOT like them! They're amazing!
warlordfun 08.15.13	Born Of Osiris - The Discovery
SirDazza28 08.15.13	Northlane - Discoveries
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.15.13	@warlordfun: Born of Osiris isn't metalcore. @SirDazza28: Thanks.
JokineAugustus 08.15.13	Wtf? Ya they are, unless you want to say they're deathcore or "progressive metal". And what's up with people saying mathcore isn't metalcore? That's like saying Tomatoes aren't fruit.
Hawks 08.15.13	"Born Of Osiris - The Discovery" No.
BlastRiffsBeatTechno 08.15.13	@JokineAugustus: No, really they're not metalcore at all! More like progressive metal or something like that.
