you say that like there's such a thing as first rate deathcore

[Laughing Man]

True. Although idk if they completely fit the deathcore tag they were given, I always thought The Agony Scene were pretty first-rate, but that's probably just me.seriously though, have you at least heard Chimaira's self-titled album? I can give you "second-rate" and "boring" on a lot of what they've done since, but that album is one of my favorite groove albums ever. it has Kevin Talley on drums, which is a huge plus and probably the reason it's as good as it is. Nothing Remains is a beast of a song.

I approve of The Agony Scene. Whitechapel's not bad, either, but they're not very original once you start to listen to too many of their songs.-Teezy

[pls respond]

no i haven't, i'll check it in a few though. gotta finish jamming Democracy for the umpteenth time

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Are Led Zeppelin metal? Most of what I've listened to by them doesn't sound particularly metal-ish.

If anything, they were proto-metal. They're known for pioneering the genre, but today it sounds more hard rock. I personally wouldn't say they are metal though.

[pls respond]

okay Eucliwood, i'll give you the s/t, there are some bombin tracks on that

[Bambi]

I tried listening to Dark Tranquility, not very impressed.

What album/songs did you listen to? Some are better or easier to get into than others.

Lethe was the only one I listened to.

[Laughing Man]

..you're judging them based on one song? not cool bro.at least give the album Fiction (or a few songs off of it) a listen, it's way different and personally I think it's better.

I just bought the Play Your Old Stuff compilation by Underoath, which is basically just The Changing of Times, They're Only Chasing Safety, and Define the Great Line in a three-disc set.I feel foolish.-Teezy

I was actually going to listen to more, but it was around 2 AM and I needed to get to bed.

[pls respond]

so u guyz i jus found out about this rly cool band called asking alexandria do any of u liek them>?

[Queen of Liars]

Judging by the pattern so far, I'm gonna guess that the next "cool band" you find out about is going to be either Bullet For My Valentine or Design The Skyline. Seem like the logical next steps down in quality

[shadow pridak money gang]

Design the Skyline is so br00tl br0s. U just jelly victory records doesn't like your hipster music-Teezy

>mfw I see most recent posts :mellow:there's so much I can't talk about with you guys

[Queen of Liars]

^Join the club.So, a general question: what are your favourite releases this year so far?For me the only stand out album so far has been the new High On Fire, but the two tracks from the new Paradise Lost smell of album of the year material for me. Just over 2 weeks until it's out...

Edited April 7, 2012 by -Malchior-

[Laughing Man]

Woods 5: Grey Skies and Electric Light by Woods of Ypres is probably my favorite so far.

[Rarity]

>Walks into BZP Metal topic>Sees talk of cruddy Metal>"Oh God not again"So, who's lookin forward to the new Job For A Cowboy, Tuesday?

[shadow pridak money gang]

I listened to the stream and it was actually pretty solid.-Teezy

[Xinlo]

The new Overkill was pretty fantastic, one of their best IMO. Not a whole lot has come out yet that interests me, even outside metal.

[Tenebrae Invictus]

I'm usually lacking on metal news, but The Electric Age by Overkill has definitely been a great release, and I agree with Xin's remarks.

[pls respond]

wait, did you guys actually think i was serious? lolin' at your gullibilityalso rarity new Job For A Cowboy is fantastic, listening to it nonstopso is the new Disfiguring The Goddess, slammin sickness at its finestbest albums this year imo: Aborted, JFAC, Wretched, Veil Of Maya, Every Time I Die, Emmure, Everything Went Black, and Beneath The Massacre

Edited April 7, 2012 by Idunnolol

[shadow pridak money gang]

Meshuggah was pretty decent.-Teezy

[Rarity]

I still haven't listened to the new Overkill. O.OI'll do it... eventually.

[pls respond]

i never got the hype over overkill. dat vocalist ruins everything for me

[shadow pridak money gang]

How did I already forget that Ex-Lives came out?-Teezy

Thanks, I've had a few people tell me I should be a comedian.That one doesn't count though, because deathcore is like the easiest thing ever to make fun of

[Xinlo]

Seconded. Blitz' voice is one of my favourites.
