no thanks

This band is pretty mediocre

band can fuck off a bit please

garbage

song is weird. I thought I accidentally changed the track midway through

Has interesting parts, this band may go back to being good if they start including any transitions in their music whatsoever

wtf when did retards start hating these guys?

idk what you mean sint, you like them after all

What the fuck was going on in the middle of the song?

For real, it's so jarring inthe worst way possible. No flow whatsoever and the synths just don't belong. There's a decent song buried somewhere in there

these guys could be great, I love reba, but man their song writing really needs work. there’s a difference between making music that’s weird, like the dillinger escape plan, and making music that just doesn’t work.

I don't understand how they were so much better when they were teens

The band is good but this is just weird.
Sounds like they are ripping off weird shit from the early 2000's which would make sense given many of these kids will be sick of ripping off the 90's.

these guys are so inconsequential seth putnam wouldn't have even written a song about how gay they are. and he'd have plenty of material to work with.

i actually guffawed out loud in my office when that 90s grunge riff started kicking in. funny shit.

anyways, like, i know these guys work their asses off touring and doing everything they can to "make it big" and shit, and i don't knock their hustle, but jesus christ they really need to focus on their sound. 10 years later and i still have no idea what Code Orange actually sounds like.

had the biggest Sevendust vibe coming from this shit

Huh, I haven't listened to this band since they were called Code Orange Kids and they played sludge/powerviolence... maybe it's a different band all together by now, IDK/IDC.

"not available in your country" fucking Australia.

never powerviolence lol

"wtf when did retards start hating these guys?"

lol

Wow too much hating going on yo. I thought this song was pretty fuckin sick, although sure there were a few abrupt changes, it didn't ruin the song.

THERE'S ONLY ONE FUCKING WAY COWARDS

I like them but can see why they'd annoy people

cause they're fuckin derpin

"never powerviolence lol"

Oops, did I miss-label a sub-genre? I know how offensive miss-labeling something can be these days. Pardon my ignorance.

:^)

actually really like these guys but this is pretty weak

I thought the song was good, feel like they could have done something more interesting with it though but I don't want to be an armchair musician.

that transition in the middle was... awkward. Why there are random static breaks i don't know.

Yeah this is hot garbage.

Laen I feel your pain bro. The song is up on SoundCloud.

Forever was a sick album tho

huh

I like Code Orange a lot, but this is ass. It just sounds like subpar industrial metal with a really jarring and awkward transition.

Soy back at the dickriding on a mediocre track I see

these guys are trendy fucking pussys

^ this x1000

Oh good, more "metal fans" who want to divide the community and hate whatever is popular. I'm not a big fan of the track but it's ridiculous how many people just dismissed the song without even hearing it.

Screw the grammies, but I'm proud a band this HEAVY made enough of an impact to be forcibly recognized.

Band have always been and will always be annoying

I bet this sucks worse than all their other stuff

this band is too overrated

Well, that was disappointing.

Not over rated in this site for sure. In here you have the perfect spot to say they suck. As to the song its another kinda NIN tribute and they keep insisting on their random static interruptions. It's a single. Hang in there NonApplicable lol I hear you!

Did Adult Swim do a video for it, as well? The visuals might make sense with the jarring transitions, if not, then Code Orange fuckin' up hard.

good point coldheaven

That whole scene is getting pretty annoying to be honest, hardcore is just Nü-core. Which wouldn't be all that bad if it wasn't soiled by these hormone-raging machismos

all the hate this band gets is exaggerated...Forever was decent imo

"Nü-core"

god shut up please

Looks like it rang some truth with you

no, it's funny that you can't look and see that there's Cleary a difference between shitty poppy nu metal bands and code orange. these guys are way too talented to be labeled as such

I think we have different outlooks on what Nü-Metal actually is, and if you can't hear it, then whatever, people perceive music differently. But, if you can't have a discussion about music without always getting butthurt and exasperating yourself defending a band who really isn't worth defending, then that's your fucking problem.

this is one of the few places were it's worth defending them. ahhaha

I like Code Orange, but I'm not gonna bend over backwards to defend them when I know they're often viewed as a joke. This soymilk dude just always wants to be all up on my shit, no fucking idea why.

Only One Way, maybe. But this is not de wae

this forum is like a minefield lol. But my opinion on this guys is that they use a lot of right things in mostly the wrong places and, in someway or another, they manage to sound really cool. Maybe its aimed at a younger crowd than me but i dig it :P

Yeah, it's definitely for a younger crowd

yeah but you can see some nice NIN, Smashing pumpkins influences there, blended (or glued lol) with the "numetal" you all speak about, and hardcore, that can appeal to a more extended crowd.

I've supported this band since Love is Love, but this is ass.

They're never going to top Love Is Love or I Am King

They could just revive Adventures...

Cycles, Love is Love, and the split with full of hell all rip. I am king had it’s moments. forever is ass.

Man, I haven't jammed Cycles in a hot minute

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siIdEicG-Ro

good ol' days

Yeah they used to be so so good

Yeah, they're reallyyyyyyy losing my interest

Miss the old shit hard yeh

bands not for pussies. don't be a pussy

"bands not for pussies. don't be a pussy"

god shut up please

3 knocked loose albums rated 5, nothing to see here boys

I’ve said this consistently to soy, he seems to be proud of it

stop pulling 5's on me when you have fucking blink 182 5'd you moron

also sick job having brand new 5'd

blink 182 >> code orange .... even they would agree dude ranch is better than anything they've ever done lol

code orange is the best band walking the earth currently.

hah! this coming from the 3rd best milk

you have 23 cradle of filth albums 5d

well, we've established you know how to find people's ratings

more like soy boy

“code orange such but my boy soymilk greater than all you fu ass queers”

Soy, is that your alt sticking up for you?

will never understand the hate this band gets on here

And you 5'd THREE(!) Knocked Loose albums soy
We've already been over this bud, you've lost the right to shittalk ratings
Oh, and adventures>>>>>Code orange

The band is good but shut up soy boy you and your alt look like an idiot

someone needs to find this bands medical records and find out when they got aids.

ok so how the fuck can people be all about their early stuff like Cycles and Love is Love and then act like the new stuff is so much different...they use the same kind of riffs and random tempo changes and everything, there's just more influences coming in. I don't fuckin get it lol.

I haven't heard the earlier stuff but I really liked I am King and Forever.

This new song is just weird tho, it sounds so dated.

probably because their early stuff is structurally more interesting than what they've been putting out but that's just me. I even enjoyed Forever but damn it doesn't hold a candle to cycles and the split with FOH

I am confused why these guys are so divisive around here, they aren't exactly the greatest band around but Forever is good to put on when you want something pointlessly heavy and edgy. Forever has that Ballou production that slays

Agreed with jamdbz
And the older shit had some feeling instead of that manufactured tough guy bullshit they have going on now.
And try to tell me anything off of their last two records is as downright beautiful as Colors. I'll wait.

fuck beautiful catch these fuckin spinkicks

And the older shit had some feeling instead of that manufactured tough guy bullshit they have going on now. [2]

Liars // Trudge > everything on I Am King

I dig all of the records though.

"ok so how the fuck can people be all about their early stuff like Cycles and Love is Love and then act like the new stuff is so much different...they use the same kind of riffs and random tempo changes and everything, there's just more influences coming in. I don't fuckin get it lol."

Sometimes when you add too many flavors to a dish it ruins the entire meal. It's better to do a few things really well than a lot of things just okay.

"ok so how the fuck can people be all about their early stuff like Cycles and Love is Love and then act like the new stuff is so much different...they use the same kind of riffs and random tempo changes and everything, there's just more influences coming in. I don't fuckin get it lol."

Old shit sounded straight up like Converge-lite, and I mean that in a complimentary way, especially when their age was taken into account. Now they are just some shitty bro-breakdown band who make cringe worthy garbage.

"Now they are just some shitty bro-breakdown band who make cringe worthy garbage."

I love how everyone says this dumb shit when literally, the riffs and breakdowns in the new stuff are so similar to old. same production, just different tools at their disposal. they've always acted how they do in a live setting, it is the same fucking band. if you don't like new code orange, you don't like old code orange. that's facts

These posts read like one of those new jack kids that go to see beatdown deathcore shows exclusively but put “Midwest hardcore” in their Twitter bio

I mean i used to have midwest blood in mine, but that's dead as dead now

EXACTLY

you can fuck off

He's back

fuck me this thread is awesome

Soy I literally just said that the band isn't capable of making a song like colors or calm/breathe. That's what the difference is. The riffs, breakdowns, even vocals might be similar. But the SONGWRITING just isn't there.
And the lyricism is just godawful now

oh and Employed to Serve >>>>>>Code Orange

Band actually has riffs

Have Heart>Code Orange
Cromags>Code Orange
7 Seconds>Code Orange
Earth Crisis> Code Orange
Youth Of Today>Code Orange
Snapcase>Code Orange
Dropdead>Code Orange

I could legit go on and on and on and on and on and on

And the fuckinggggg CARRIER

congrats, literally every band you named is trash

lolwutttt

Now I'm convinced you're an alt or some little kid, and if you're not then the best of luck in life to you.

Yr gonna need it.

Good to see someone still backing the carrier

"congrats, literally every band you named is trash"
but he named Code Orange like seven times soy?

That's spicy

Employed to Serve reminds me of older Code Orange, except better. Hope they continue to gain recognition.

Edit: the Warmth of a Dying Sun > everything Code Orange has ever done

the real entertainment here is someone calling dropdead trash

like it or not code orange as different sound and i think they can't (or shouldn't) be compared to regular hardcore bands...I can understand you like more the standard underground hardcore scene but that as never been the scene with code orange. If you've never liked grunge, sludge or even "nu" metal you wont dig this.

Are they even hardcore anymore

but imo hardcore itself has big limitations (every genre have them if you think about it). It's important to crossover in order to get something new or reinvented, and sometimes you just can't please everyone...and some other times the old fans are biggest challenge. I can understand the macho testosterone critic but it's days we live in...it will pass...

"Now I'm convinced you're an alt or some little kid"

I've been on this site years before you man who you speakin

so you are an alt

you cannot call someone an alt when they're on their main account

I mean, bands have abandoned their original sounds and it has worked for the better..Pianos Become the Teeth comes to mind. On the flip side, a band like ETID has never really strayed too far from its core sound but still manages to sound fresh. I think this is just a bad song.

Are you even hardcore anymore

I don't even need to argue over wether it's a bad song anymore. I know the song is hard. that's a fact. its people saying code orange is "selling something they arent". that shit is preposterous

Dude, you argued this entire thread

ETID changed for the last 3 records (and mainly in the last one) and remained awesome...that's a step a band take and won't always please everyone. For "us mere listeners" just keep listening to them or not...criticizing them or not...but we should avoid compare them to other garage bands when they're no longer a garage band

Well, I mean, ETID is fucking ETID, they're gonna do what they want and sound awesome anyways.

Shit happens.

this is just a single and we don't even know if its going to be in an album...it's not amazing but i can see their roots and influences (adventurers and Nine Inch Nails for example) but i think the big discussion here is about the new Code Orange vs the old Code Orange.

Hell yeah. nice to see ETID sending some positive vibes in here!

No argument there, they're the most consistent band in the scene.

If this is the route that Code Orange is going, then it's a step down from previous efforts. And it probably won't touch anything that was under the COK name, and definitely won't top "I Am King".

have fun being stupid over there

yup employed to Serve fucking destroys code Orange. Warmth of a Dying Sun is better than Forever and it's not even close

common guys employed to serve is just an hardcore band from UK. don't need to compare it with code orange, or Madonna...i like them but there's nothing new or original to it...please! you're just comparing bands with regional range with bands with global range...this is loosing its sense...

Soy’s feelings are getting legit hurt

That's a bit of an unfair statement though..Code Orange only had "regional range" at one point. No one was really talking about them in 2012. They certainly didn't have "global range" until sometime between I Am King and Forever. I mean, ETS just dropped their first full length 3 years ago.

What does range even matter? If it's better, then it's better. Their sounds aren't that different that we can't compare them.

lol just trying to rec some good albums for my boy soy

Yeah sure i get your point...but ETS its a plain hardcore band and code orange its not

hah
If ETS is plain hardcore where you live I wanna fucking move there

And you're giving Code Orange waaaayyy too much credit. They aren't as unique as you think dude. Just adding synths to shitty breakdowns doesn't make it good

yeah but if you listen to hardcore bands since botch, norma jean etc...you start giving these guys some credit...even if it looks sloppy to you...all i said was that is stupid to compare but okay

nah but I like you. Actually got a Deftones tat on my arm, let's be friends?

these guys are nowhere near on the level of botch or even norma jean. these guys are a shitty nu-metal band trying to be hardcore.

Well! I don't have tatoos, but if i did, for sure it would have some deftones meaning. It's never to late for tatoos or new friends so yeah why not ahah

lool i was comparing botch and norma jean to ETS (hardcore bands), that imo they're good but don't add nothing new to the genre. I've also learned with time to avoid two genres labels, because people use them just to speak bad about some music they don't like - numetal and metalcore...

Yeah this fucks.

Hell, Employed to Serve is better than when Code Orange Kids was showing real promise (Cycles/Love is Love). Neither band is particularly unique, nor do they sound alike at all, but EtS is just better at what they do.

what is this shit thread, why is everyone acting so tough.
Soy boy is an alt, he joined in 2017.

no one knows who I am anymore in here? lmao guess my 4 years on this website has been pointless

i know you buddy

good

and the whole employed to serve thing, ets is hard as shit but hardly in the same vein of hxc as code orange. honestly their riffage is no crazier than any new code orange in a complexity standpoint, you kids just like unpolished stuff with no cleans because it makes you feel cool n underground. and I get it, but seriously.

wait soy who are you

"these guys are nowhere near on the level of botch or even norma jean. these guys are a shitty nu-metal band trying to be hardcore."

every norma jean song is the same thing over and over again. if you're gonna talk about good mxc talk about the chariot instead

@sin u know:^)

~so mysterious~

"you kids just like unpolished stuff with no cleans because it makes you feel cool n underground"

You are pulling this shit out of your ass man

Soy you're fucking high if you think the reason people rag on code Orange is because they have cleans. Of the four albums I have fived, three of them are all cleans.
And employed to Serve is definitely more complex than code orange that's not even a fucking argument.

because every riff is a panic riff? gotcha

^retarded statement right here

still more complex. Whether they're better or not is down to personal preference (they are) but they're definitely more complex.

And go ahead and tell me Warmth of a Dying Sun, Lethargy, I Spend My Days, and Half Life are only "panic riffing"

People rag on Code Orange because they are cashing in on the 90's tough guy thing that Nails have made cool again.

Are they 'complex'? No. This is wannabe-tough hardcore, not progressive metal lol

"wannabe-tough"

lmao literally reba could kick your ass silly

Leave torts alone.

lol they are middle-class white kids playing edgy music, calm down

"This band is pretty mediocre"

Hardcore + mediocre = Mediocore

Fun fact, middle class black kids can't scrap either.

jesus piece you fake ass motherfucker

That was an interesting listen. Definitely the weirdest I've heard from code orange.

Jesus piece is 100% better than this band now I’d say

not available in your country

Don't, the song is kind of bad
