I'm still so fucking upset about Ben leaving

But imagine the plot twist if Adrian from Northlane throws up an audition video and gets in

Snide! Get Over Here!

Probably gonna end up with some generic fool

I really hope they don't pull a Northlane with this. Whilst Marcus is a fine singer, the direction they've gone recently just seems to be settling into really safe territory.

If they pull a Northlane I'm jumpin out a window

I actually liked Northlane's new stuff but I will also be upset if Invent, Animate pulls a Northlane

what's Adrian saying these days? Could be a good fit.

Pls go full Northlane

Lmao

Shut the fuck up semp

Garbage either way

How salty is steak gonna be if they get a Marcus 2.0

I hope they do

Maybe they'll get Garrison :P

Garrison gave up band life to get a consistent well-paying job, I doubt he'd leave that

However, if that happened, I would leave this dimension. Garrison is the GOAT

james the old oceans ate alaska vocalist would be sick in this band

those album covers are beautiful enough that I'll join, I don't even care that they seem like a painfully generic metalcore group

They aren't painfully generic tho

I don't know why exactly but I find their last 2 album covers really beautiful in some inexplicable way. I wonder if it's the same artist.

It is the same artist, and they are both beautiful agreed. Stillworld especially, that cold winter night setting fits into the music perfectly

Yep. I think Everchanger is an overrated album, Still World blows it out of the water imo but I like the weird ghostly figure lurking behind the tree. The white wolf in the snow is awesome too. I want to look up what other covers he/she did.

I'm glad the old vocalist left. He was holding them back.

Everchanger is amazing imo

How on earth was the vocalist holding them back? He was the strongest component of their sound you fool

Both albums are great. I'm sceptical about this new singer malarky after the Northlane debacle.

@SteakByrnes He needed vocal lessons. It's like they just plucked him off the street and said "would you like to be the vocalist for our band?". Just my assessment, don't get yourself too worked up there.

His vocals were amazing but whatever. Lows hit like a train, yells were strong and passionate, and the cleans fit the music incredibly well. Not to mention his lyrics were great

Such a random assessment... Feel like you're just trolling Steak.

I think he's still mad that I thought You Are We was boring

His cleans were pretty bad live. I still liked the rest of it though.

You are We was fucking horrible

I really wanted to like these guys honestly. They are killer musicians. I just cannot not fathom the vocalist's appeal.

I'm just personally happy I may be enjoying these guys without any caveats in the future.

Wack

I wish Adrian could join for the plot twist of the century but his vocal chords were fucked when he left Northlane. He could have been doing a crazy Rocky style training montage for the last couple years to be able to handle it. Vocals so good his own body couldn't handle it.

Damn their vocalist left? That sucks

Yea he announced his departure at the beginning of the year

Where's your rap audition?

Yo yo yo I wanna be in in your band

All them other niggaz claim they got a girlfriend

But it's just their left hand

Invent, animate, discover, create

These are just djent trigger words and did I mention I wanna be your bandmate?

"Invent, animate, discover, create"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT SHIT HOT OH MY LORD

Cop out

You're welcome

Honestly I would audition if I wasn't in college, and I only have a year left so I'm not gonna leave now

I see the ex-Erra guy has taught you well. Turn your back on music and find a real job!

Garrison the real nigga, got an actual job

Did you ever like Erra bloc?

I always listened to them on and off, but not as much as a band like ABR or MS. However, I recently put Andromeda and the first 2 LPs on my ipod and I'm really liking them a lot more. The rest of their stuff can go to hell.

Goooooood shit man, Andromeda, Impulse, and Augment are fucking amazing. Moments of Clarity has its moments ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) but Drift can burn in a fire for all I care

I'm weird in that I love Northlane but can't get into Erra or IA at all. Maybe I should try Drift but Augment just felt way too non-stop HEAVVVYYYY for me and I wanted more dynamics. Also the clean vocals were annoying. Meanwhile IA are good but not great for me.

Give Drift a shot. It has at least 3 of of their best songs imo, Orchid, T/t, and Sleeper. I found some of the cleans on Augment annoying too, but the cleans on those tracks are sublime.

Erra has so many dynamics tho

Also the only tracks I ever go back to on Drift are Sleeper and Hourglass

Drift is amazing bud are you fucked? There's not a bad song on that album. Luminesce is probably the best. Erra can do no wrong.

I think the album's really underrated yeah. I often find parts of it getting stuck in my head for a while after

Drift is far from amazing but ok my guy

he's not your guy buddy

My guy
