If you don't like metalcore, then SHUT UP BIOTCH!

Killswitch. I've always been a fan, and I haven't been able to put the new one down for some reason.

none of those bands are "metal core" well they are but they seem to be the leaders of the nu metal/metal core takover. these bands are the new mall metal not metal core.

imho-All Out War is the best metalcore band. bands like the agony scene, norma jean, sworn enemy, the acacia strain and converge are way more "metalcore" that any of these bands.

blah the new killswitch is lame i heard it and it is ok at best but it is a whole lot of shit that has been done to death way better by way better bands. howard jones should go back to blood has been shed who i fucking love

if you like bhbs, you should love the new kse...
it's like a watered down bhbs with some kse flavor thrown in.

chimaira is just straight out nu-metal

the_reverend said:

exactly its watered down. and notice i said it has been done to death by better bands. hell i even hear shadows fall/overcast influence on that cd as well and the "artsy melodic" parts are so how do i say simplistic as opposed to something like "to ashes" by shadows fall

agreed.

it seemed as if killswitch just played background music to howards voice. i like alive or just breathing a lot better

i refuse to vote

you should vote!

Josh_hates_you said:

how can you have norma jean and all out war ranked in the same category??

and i'm pretty sure that lamb of god is just a metal band...

all out war is the gayest, thank god they aren't in this poll

although all out war and norma jean do not sound alike, both bands have an abundance of metal and hardcore influence. all out war is more "metal" influence and norma jean is more "hardcore" influnced. while norma jean are a bunch of scenester whiny bitches they are metalcore. oh and they actualy play some shit out of 4/4 which is just good fun in my book

i cant even vote for this poll cause it contradicts itself

and the fact that i am pushing labels upon music in general is realy gay. if i like it i like it.

josh your a fucking tool - you contradict yourself saying labels are gay when you just labeled bands. Personally I dont see why there is always someone who has to put down someone else for liking a band. I fucking listen to everything, Im not so narrow minded the only thing I can listen to is grind and death.

Josh_hates_you said:

I somewhat agree. Its not their best, I like their other two releases better, but for some reason I can't stop listening. Its just too catchy I guess, but definately not lame. And Howard is still doing BHBS. As for the Overcast reference, I guess thats what happens when the bassist from Overcast writes most of the music for KSE.

The_ExhumeD said:


notice i said labeling things is gay after i labeled things........meaning looking back i should not have been caught up in the label fest which is something i TRY not to do. and if you are gonna label something you might as well do it right. but honestly people who listen to music because of what genre, label or scene it falls into as opposed to genuinely just liking whatever you hear for what it is is retarded.

and moran i am aware that bass player from kse and overcast are the same and i know jones is still in bhbs but i mean full time so i can see them more while kse is on tour

Josh_hates_you said:


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOG for me

Josh_hates_you said:

Well, I understand what you're getting at, but as far as genres go, I think that is a pretty reasonable way to determine whether or not to listen to a band. For instance: Let's say I don't like death metal (this is completely hypothetical). My friends are telling me about this band called Cryptopsy and when I ask what kind of music they are, they say "death metal". Well, I'm not into death metal, so I'm probably not going to shell out 16 bucks for None So Vile, right? I wouldn't not get the album because it's death metal; I would not get it because I probably won't like it. See what I'm saying?

That being said, I rather enjoy None So Vile and death metal in general.

I really like Lamb of God. I don't care what you call them! And I am so payched that they're on Sony now so I get to promote their new album. I want to put together a pre-release listening party possibly with some local bands when the new album is released. Stay tuned...

but retzam there are people that like metal and will buy that same cryptopsy album just cause it is the metal thing to do not cause they realy enjoy the band.

oh and this is also why throwdown, 18 visions and terror have fans!

shitty bands that get places cause kids into musical politics say that they hang out with the right crews

I like lamb of god the most on this list. Ascendency is a better metalcore band than all of these though. I can't wait until they blow up and take all of these underserving bands out of the picture.

Oh, I see what you mean Josh. I didn't realize that you were talking more about people who listen to things based on those reasons, not people who don't.

When i think of metalcore I don't really think of the bands mentioned above. None of them really have hardcore riffs.

When I think of metalcore I think of bands that actually use hardcore riffs in their songs, not bands who play metal but happen to be hardcore kids.

yeah these bands defiantely are not metalcore. why dont you go over to www.hxcboards.com and find out what real metalcore is

real metalcore is Rorschach

Rorschach ruled, but when i was listening to them and bands of the sort 10 plus years ago, I don't think I ever heard the term metalcore. whatever....labeling everything kind of sucks.

thornnvine said:

I hear that, but its the closest thing to what "metalcore" bands are doing today

Well, Lamb Of God is my favorite from all of those, and I just recently got into them.

lamb of god is sick...they are just plain metal...they should not be on this list. They are a great band.

i like the new Killswitch

i voted for shadows fall, because none of the other bands have put out an album as good as somber eyes. not even close.

i dont like any of those, and i would agree when saying i wouldnt call them "metalcore", i think those are just "metal" i guess... i dont know, genres get confusing, whenever i hear shadows fall i think of them as the new metallica, and with the other bands in that poll i just see them as newer versions of metallica's touring companions and associated bands... they're just the new wave of "cutting edge" metal.... they all have talent but none of them are my bag. does anyone else think of metallica when they hear shadows fall?

the new shadows fall yeah kind of. Not the older stuff. ANd all these bands are definetly metalcore.

if those are metalcore then i need to stop telling people i listen to metalcore. haha.

hybrid said:

I hear Pantera in the guitars
bums me out

I might add that I know full well that none of these bands are metalcore. That's because metalcore isn't even a real genre. But these are (as far as I know) the most popular of all the bands that get categorized as such. And I just wondered which one people thought was the best.

I'm happy, because my favorite got the most votes.

Im going to half to agree with this devin fellow, none of these bands are metalcore. I think that if you were going to put up some bands, you could use Heaven Shall burn, caliban, misery signals, bury your dead, nikola tesla... just to name a few.

killswitch engage are the fucking best

...

lamb of god isn't metalcore at all!

Josh_hates_you said:

Yes, Blood Has Been Shed does in fact kick major amounts of ass.

Unearth, All That Remains, Killswitch, and Acacia Strain- All from Mass. and all are kick ass metalcore. But those are the only metalcore I'll listen to. Death to As I Lay Dying!!!

dead blue sky

who's the dick who brought this thread back?

Wow a whole thread based on Metalcore and MetalCoreSucks has yet to post one reply.

i definitely wouldnt label Lamb of God as metalcore. they deserve a shitload more respect than that.

Josh_hates_you said:

I agree, when I walk the mall it's nothing but kids wearing their shirts or tench coats with massively over sized pant legs instead of back in the day when they all used to wear Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Static-X shirts.

umm.. Shadows Fall has the best players of these bands, but if I have to pick one I'd probably pick killswitch cause I think they wrote some catchy shit. To much chuggy chug chug and lack of creative ideas in all these bands though... Espically Lamb of God, their stuff is so boring and not creative... in my opinion anyway.

The_ExhumeD said:


EXACTLY!!! Grind and Death are the most talentless forms of music out there. There is NO musicality involved whatsoever!!! Big fucking deal, you can play blast beats over 16th note palm mutes. Thats fucking terrific!!! Oh and lets not forget about all "solos" that are just no-brainer bullshit scales. Learn some music theory. Learn how to write whole songs not just create walls of noise. That death/grind crap sounds like they arrange their songs by picking riffs out of a fucking hat. This whole website is full of people who hate on any band thats doing well for themselves. Anything thats becoming "trendy" or "popular" has to be made fun of and put down. Its all bullshit!!! You fucking dungeons and dragons queers can keep your shit ass music in the elks clubs of America where it belongs. You are the ones following the trends of being haters. And for anyone who comes back with some smart-ass remark about me because I dont have a screenname on here, FUCK YOU!! I wouldnt associate myself with half of the fucking low-life's on here. Quit being followers. listen to whatever you want. Dont base your dicisions on what the RTTP crowd thinks you should listen to.

I agree with you %100, but you need to reveal yourself to get taken seriously. Otherwise, people will just skim over that paragraph even though it's the truth.

anonymous said:

actually thats a pretty retarded statement. i mean sure there are plenty of "wall of noise" bands out there, but i can think of plenty of death metal bands with awesome structure and talent. Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka is an amazingly well structured and controlled album. it has great talent and knowledge thrown in to it. and thats just one. but you are an idiot and wont recognize that so fuck you too.

....maybe if I name enough good metalcore bands this thread will just go away.

Ironhide!

Fuck, noone knows what I'm talking about.

I don't see any of these bands on here as metalcore...but then again, I don't know what to label any of them either. When I think of metalcore, I probably think of As I Lay Dying. Most of these bands aren't like them.

Honestly, I don't label my music either. A lot of people say I listen to metalcore, but I listen to all sorts of things. I like all of these bands on the poll, but I also like Cannibal Corpse, and Nile, and Pig Destroyer, and Municipal Waste, and Agnostic Front. When you try and put a label on what you listen to, it restricts the amount of music you're exposed to...and that's never a good thing.

anonymous said:

Congratulations!!

You've just won the Gayest Post Ever Award!

If I hear one more dude say they don't believe in labeling music, that their band is beyond the boundaries of labels and categories, that music should transcend labels.... I'm going to puke out my brains.

what a stupid cliche thing to say

Yea, you need lables. There is a big difference between two bands like NIN and Iron Maiden, and just saying "oh that was a metal band" doesn't paint an accurate picture to someone of what a band sounds like. Saying "NIN was some industrial band and Iron Maiden was a power metal band" all of a sudden gives people a reference to work with.

Yeah, but what about all the grey areas when describing music to people? A lot of labels pigeonhole bands into a certain genre and paint the wrong picture for people. When pointing out differences in two bands it may be helpful, but when deciding what to listen to, it can only get in the way...It may be a cliche thing to say, but I think it's true.

music is good

Human beings naturally process things schematically. Your subconscious breaks things down and puts them into categories to better understand units of information, recall memory later, and generally make sense of things.

As far as gray areas go, you don't plan your life around gray areas. You go with what makes the most sense, and does the most good on the largest scale. Having some labels (at least) works the best from an analytical standpoint, as well as a marketing standpoint.

Case in point: whenever some dude tries to push his band on me, and tells me "Uhhh woah we don't really 'sound' like anything, we just play what we feel and whatever comes out comes out" I walk the fuck away. Because whenever a metal band tells you their band doesn't "really sound like anything" it ends up sounding like Necrophagia.

i dont necessarily agree with that, why would you want to sound like something? when we the Sac are writing music, we do our best to not sound like anything, and i think we have done well. you can hear the influences but you cant really pinpoint it as sounding exactly like something.

Yeti said:

while that may, or may not be true I can say from my own personal experience that if you're out to sell me on your band you've got to give me something I can wrap my brain around pretty quick. If I ask someone what their band sounds like and they give me a 10 minute explanation about "we totally just like let our SOULS spill all over the fret board... it's really more of a spiritual experience than a song for us... I totally channel Buddha, and Ronnie James Dio and just let this guitar solo rip one time..." I'm gonna write them off as a bunch of clowns.

Ok. First of all Metalcore is a mixed genre. It also spawns genres such as "swedecore" "emotional Metalcore"... etc. Many bands can actually be thrown into the metalcore genre, but hardly ANY bands are purely Metalcore. True metalcore is defined as Hardcore Punk/Heavy Metal. Which includes influences from the 80's, thus making it melodic. And for everybody who says they hate labelling things such as bands... get a fucking clue, seriously. Without labels on our bands Trivium could be compared to Britney Spears, or in the same genre, or Paris Hilton vs. Iron maiden. Say whatever the fuck you want people, just because someone says it isn't right, doesn't mean it isn't right. No one has no clue what is right or what is wrong, secular ethics are impossible, everyone has their own visions of stuff so keep your mouth closed if your bitching about labelling. I agree its a stupid thing to do, but we need to do it.

I think this thread died for a reason back in March. Let it rest in peace.

No. I refuse.

best metal core band:

Dead blue sky

Metal core? core? core =gay and I don't care who calls me a metal elitist, I just don't see any more attraction to anything core then I would to anything reggaton

oh this is an old post. your talkin about the last record. haha.

listen to some real metal ppl like slayer cannibal corpse mayhem etc oh and by the way lamb of god isnt metalcore

the bands listed are bands that extreme metal kids will call hardcore, and hardcore kids will call metal, i dont think they're hardcore, they're more metal then hardcore, all of a sudden a band throws in some rhythmic parts and then all of a sudden they are hardcore. people remember anthrax? fear factory? even pantera? would u call that hardcore? i wouldnt

<img src="http://www.black-collegian.com/images/ph_farnswroth.jpg">

Woah.

all i gots to say i hate all these new trendy metal bands. for the most part it all sounds the same and bland now. kse was cool back in the day but today they are nothing more than hot topic crap. go to mall, tons 10yr olds wearing their shirts acting like morons. just bothers me. kse actual band members come from true metal bands. overcast, bhbs, red tide, aftershock. those bands had something. kse of today is just too trendy and i don't want to be associated with 8-16 year old kids with blue hair who go to places that specialize in "metal haircuts!". I saw an ad for some haircut place that claimed to play kse cd while they cut your hair.

anyway the new new kse has leaked. i haven't personally heard it but rough tracks have leaked but i have no interest in wasting time searching for them.

bury your dead is one of the better metal/core bands around. although their new cd sucks really bad. i kinda feel bad for them

lamb of god is awsome!!!!!!

listen to whatever you want

ringworm are best "metal/core" band cuz they actually combine elements of both, thrash,death, old school hc. nobody beats em. and if u dont like ringworm go kill yourself cuz u suck

Josh_hates_you said:

Norma Jean is Gaycore.

Integrity. Nuff fuckin said.

why does everyone assume 13 year olds listen to crap? im 13 and i listen to cannibal corpse slayer and ive just started listening to black metal

anyone else hear the new kse cd? i think its ok but they are doing a lot more rocky feelin riffs. then they ruin it with computerized vocals of the howard, i assume he can't sing that good so they needed a computer to fix his voice! too much singing for me and way too much pop melody. but the riffs are good. drumming is boring as usual. and the choruses are too poppy.

"Desperate Times" is by far the worst Kse song i've ever heard. makes me want to fall asleep. "As daylight Dies" is probably the best song on that CD.

anyone know any good FREE metal mp3 sites? i havnt got the money to buy albums right now

Best Metalcore:

All That Remains
All Out War
Sinai Beach
Unearth
Zao
August Burns Red
Dead To Fall
Killswitch Engage

IN SOVIET RAH-SHAH, METALCORE LISTENS TO YOU!!

well i fell for it and listened to that leaked CD. i will say the
guitar riffs are pretty good but there is definitly a more commercial
feel overall. I have to say it reminds me of Carcass' Heartwork.
Like that rock and roll feel but very heavy guitars. When the chorus of each song kicks in its total commercial radio all the way. No solos. "This is Absolution" is kinda cool but i HATE the "the used" style chorus. another BS Song is "My Curse". I mean just get it over with and just go full on mall metal all ready! "For you" starts off really good with a BHBS style riff and then goes right into mall metal heaven with a hatebreed style chug a chug then into a real nice radio pop chorus! I have to say its different than
their last one The End of Heartache (which i felt wasn't that good)
in the sense its more rocky sounding but a big emphasis on howard
singing now. extreamly melodic songs but its not cuttin it for me.
I'd rather listen to Aftershock, Red Tide, Overcast, and the biggie
BHBS!!!!!!!!!!!

lamb of god is the best out of those bands but r not metalcore period.1.they r kick ass and the label metalcore demeans this awesome band 2. when has randy ever used clean vocals his trademark pig with knife in the back vocals is the only way he has and should perform 3. the riffs and solos r too good to be metalcore 4. hardcore influences? 5 technicality of the music is a notch above that of kse as i lay dying etc 6. theyre obviously groove metal mixed wit some death metal

Man, all those bands fucking blow

Cave In is the only so called metalcore band I really care for

Ok people time to take your heads out of your ass and listen up. Killswitch, Lamb of God, Chimaira, ect, ARE NOT NU-METAL!!! They are "New metal" meaning they are metal evolved for the times we live in. I love how all you stupid shits call anything that isnt Black Metal of Grind Metal, Nu-Metal. Nu-Metal was started by bands like Korn and System of a Down and Sevendust. Those bands sound nothing like todays "New Metal" Am I the only one who understands this??? Here read for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu-metal now go learn something!!!!

Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source for information seeing how it is an open information site. Anyone can post information and state it as fact. Now YOU go learn something.

ConquerTheBaphomet said:

i agree.

all these "new" metal bands are basically a corporate american product that is being pushed onto all the youngin' teeny bopper metal heads. all those bands are just products. i have to admit listening to the new kse material its so much more catchy. yeah the guitars are heavy as F but the riffs are going to be stuck in your head and the pop chorus will be also. think fear factory forced to go more commercial.

want to talk about real metal bands?

metal bands going downhill happens all the time slayer south of heaven onwards metallica m o puppets onwards megadeth everything after peace sells this is why thrash died :( stupid metallica and their wallets. its happening to all metal tho, artists being more concernd about money than making decent music

"Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source for information seeing how it is an open information site. Anyone can post information and state it as fact. Now YOU go learn something"

YES BUT IT IS CONSTANTLY BEING TESTED AND PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO PROVE EACH OTHER WRONG. IF SOMETHING IS NOT LEGIT IT GETS DELETED OR CORRECTED. FOR THE RECORD EVERYTHING THEY MENTIONED IN THAT ARTICLE IS TRUE, I REMEMBER IT CAUSE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING AND IT WAS ALL THE RAGE. NU-METAL SUCKS, JUST DONT CONFUSE IT WITH TODAYS METAL.

It seems to me that nobody on this site wants to hear anything with any form of melody or hook. If it doesnt sound like it was made in 1990 then it sucks. If the band gets any form of mainstream attention they instantly cant play there instruments and they suck. Whats wrong with you people? you all hover around these underground bands like you are the only ones who know about them and once they gain popularity you abandon them. That makes no sense.

Trick question. There is no good metalcore.

1990 was a shit year in metal metallica sold out big time slayer abandoned their ha rib sound for sita megadeth went out to make some crap and slipknot was born the begining of the end of true metal. bands with mainstream success deserve the shit they get it proves that theyre more concernd about $ than making decent music

1990 was the year of Rust in peace and Seasons in the Abyss. The Metallica black album didn't come out till 1991. Slipknot formed in 1992. Do your fuckin homework asshole.

"bands with mainstream success deserve the shit they get it proves that theyre more concernd about $ than making decent music"

Did it ever occur to you that the people who started that style of music had no idea that they were doing it for the money? Did some magic fairy appear in the middle of the night and tell them that if they want to be rich then they need to play this style and they should call it nu-metal? You are an idiot. Music evolves!!! sure some bands jump on the bandwagon but it evolves because bands play with other bands on tour and are influenced by each other. It will always be that way. Nobody reinvents the wheel all by themselves!!! Maybe bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeplin can say they did but for everyone else, its because they influenced each other.

Metalcore is proof that white supremacy is bullshit.

PIECEMEAL bitches!

bah, the new Isgay is so predictable. scream/sing scream sing, melody hooks and grooves. this shit is gonna die soon. its just like we gotta got back to the roots and bring back some metal. this stuff is just candy corn metal. mall metal. i will say isGay's first CD and second CD are good but after that, boring.

shadows fall!? i hope they quit tomorrow. all i gots to say is "December" listen to the vocals.

Killswitch Engage is the new-nu-metal. You don't have to sound like Korn to be nu-metal. All you really need is a juggalo fanbase, and formuliac boring music masquerading as something legit.

Why is this thread still going? All of those bands are terrible. Move on.

but its fun to make fun! haha.

i was gonna post a link to youtube where that clown adamD. plays air guitar to master of puppets with some other dum dum but it got pulled. i guess making a fool out of yourself isn't good business

Shut up and listen to Opeth instead.

between the buried and me fucking rules

better than your stupid bands

BTBAM is not metalcore.

The only bands on there that are really metalcore are killswitch and himsa (who's horrible by the way). Shadows Fall is more thrash-ish or post thrash, chimaira is just plain metal, and lamb of god is also somewhat post thrash. My opinion anyway.

HAHA, Himsa is NOT metalcore. They have old thrash influences. Chimaira is almost nu-metal and Shadows Fall is not a thrash band. Lamb of God is a Pantera cover band.

I hate when shitty bands get put a label on them like they are amazingly ground breaking, like "SHADOWS FALL IS THRASH/POST THRASH"

It's actually music sold at wal mart to impress angst amongst teens who can't handle the pressures of cleaning their rooms or taking out the trash.

That's the only label I could put on it.

i havn't payed attention to this thread at all.

the first shadows fall record was something that i listened to when i was 15 years old.
melodic metal is boring and gay.
cheers good looks. death metal sucks

last thread i got involved in on this board was about dudes i know being in a "grind" band. the only metal i listen to anymore is impailed nazarine and immortal and burzum and gorgoroth and haemoth basicly norwegian black metal. drunk and rambling. i don't give two shits about this website anymore because i love european metal so much more than the relapse american garbage y'all listen too. high on fire/sleep/electric wizard/ sunn/ boris/southern lord rules. cheers

None of those are metalcore bands, they're all just emo.

No they're not Lamp. I mean they do suck but they're aren't emo. Granted, I can still enjoy the first KSE and SF albums.

I don't know man, not that I've heard all these bands, but the ones I do know basically just sound like emo metal to me. A bunch of dudes trying to be tough but at the same time letting out their "feelings"(I have no idea what that word means by the way )

I have to admit I am a big fan of the pre killswitch band Overcast. The "Begging For Indifference" EP is monumental.

Overcast is not metalcore IMHO

I agree to a degree. At the time of Overcast there weren't any national acts that you could compare to them and metalcore wasn't really a "genre". So, they weren't metalcore. But, now that there are national acts that you can compare to them it's easy for people to pigeonhole them into that category. I can differentiate bad songs from good. Overcast wrote good songs. I always hated the vocals. But still sung along.

yummy said:

new studio album soon, Metal Blade is putting it out I believe. One of my best friends is Scott McCooe from Overcast.

Oh my golly! I heard something about that what? well over a year ago....we'll see. My condo smells of rich mahogany.

yummy said:

I've shouldn't say I've heard it, but I have and lets say its not the same Overcast I remember. Adam from KSE produced it and made it sound too good for what Overcast was. Some new tracks and some classics re-recorded. I think they also dropped the tuning to D rather than the standard E

I put Overcast in the same catagory as a band like Prayer for Cleansing - dabling into the nowfound direction of "metalcore" but drawing more influence from death, thrash and blackmetal however still maintaining originality.

Overcast was the greatest thing in hardcore next to Rorschach

eewww....that's quite a stretch.

Man, what a gay thread. It will hopefully die now.

the only "metalcore" band i like is Martyr AD.

Manowar is my favorite metalcore band.

Now a prayer for a cleansing was a good band. Better than the rest on this poll.

anyone ever heard of parkway drive...or straight line stitch..... look em up. not bad. lamb of god is my favorite out of the list, but non are really that great. PARKWAY DRIVE- ROMANCE IS DEAD- "Cry Me A Fucking River Bitch"

PARKWAY DRIVE- ROMANCE IS DEAD "Cry Me A Fucking River Bitch"

i heart this threadz

hey if you like metalcore...thats your thing, cool. i respect that the same way i do homosexuals who engage in anal coitus. do your thing, just don't ask me to "join."

DRI is the best metalcore band.

killswitch started to suck as soon as howard went opera.
bring jesse back.

parkway drive is the epitome of metalcore

jesse is in a new metalcore band called The Empire Shall Fall which is pretty solid. sounds like old killswitch mixed with Meshuggah.

i like some metalcore, but has anyone heard the new Parkway Drive? its fucking garbage. the first one "Killing With A Smile" is actually pretty good, despite its horrid name, lyrics, and band idea. but the new one is just awful. i do enjoy the first Whitechapel, Glass Casket, Martyr AD, and a handful of others.

I agree with 2006 me.

Boy, was I ever wrong.

I think Tony is about to eat his words as well...
