Anyway, up until about a week ago I couldn't name you a single
'deathcore' band I like, but alas, a new faith in the genre is born, in the
form of german electronic deathcore group

We Butter the Bread With Butter!

Releasing their new album today, the former duo has
produced an album that's much more serious musically than
their first, which was full of Deathcore nursery rhymes and a song called
'breekachu', yes, with 3 new band members having been added,
each track on The day the world went down, brings
something new to the ears, with creative, fun synth riffs accompanied
with traditional deathcore guitaring that goes thunkity thunk thunk thunk.

But seriously I recommend listening, this stuff is great.

I doubt everyone... or maybe even anyone here would like this stuff but ah well.

Anyways, I'm gonna check out Eluveitie and Animals as Leaders Later and see what I think.
 
Oh! Has anyone checked out the new Rhapsody of Fire album, The Frozen Tears of Angels? I think its pretty good, and would recommend it to anyone into more epic/bombastic stuff.

Nope. Heard it's good, black metal, right? Of the super atmospheric kind? Not sure if it's my bag.

there's two Shinings, one from Norway and one from Sweden.

Norway: super experimental and progressive
Sweden: depressive black metal

the Nord's new album Blackjazz is the first time i'd say they've crossed the boundary into metal. as the title suggests, this album is sort of to jazz what black metal is to metal...it's loud, creepy, in your face and sort of fills you slowly with a terror of not being certain what's going to come at you next.

i fucking love it.

I heard two Rhapsody albums in my life. Let's just say it's a case of "please, not again, ever". The cheese is unbearable. I can take a bit of power metal but this is just too much.

Deschain: must have been thinking of the Swedish one then? Norgesvenske... same thing...

It's a nice album actually, but it has some really cheesy stuff. Power Metal's alright, but I'm not really a fan of it either. I've listened to a bit of Dragon Force, but that's about it.
 
I am not trolling, Ghost Reveries is one of the quickest deletions I have ever made. I am going to give it a second chance some time, but if I hate it again, then I am deleting it forever.

Rhapsody rules ^_^
 
any mathcore fans listen to Protest the Hero?
no metalcore love? August burns red, as i lay dying, or Killswitch engage?

i can't stand dragonforce. every single song is the same tempo and same sound.
 
I like some mathcore, though I really should be checking out more bands at some point.

Converge is one of my favorite bands, and Dillinger Escape Plan is solid too. I like what I've heard of Curl Up and Die and Botch as well, though I really should be getting around to getting some albums from them at some point.

But I can't get into Protest the Hero. They just sound so... weak, comparatively. And metalcore is really only good for getting into heavier music, or at least that's how I look back on it now. And deathcore just feels like a poor man's version of grind or bands like Suffocation or Immolation.

Power metal is another genre I really should be more acquainted with, though Blind Guardian and early Iced Earth are good.

Eh. I'm still listening to At the Gates, In Flames, Carcass, Black Dahlia Murder, Soilwork, Gardenian, Callenish Circle, Insomnium, Kalmah, Amon Amarth and a few others. Haven't found much else that I like despite all of my youtube searches; even if I did, I'd probably still take Slaughter of the Soul, The Jester Race - Colony, Heartwork and Miasma over anything.

I'd highly recommend getting into In Flame's first album and At the Gates' first two albums. It makes it so much easier to go into a transition from melodic death metal into "trve" death metal if you do, imo.

Not trying to sound elitist though, since I'm not one of the people that think melodic death meal isn't real death metal or anything, just saying it makes it easier to expand your tastes.

also;
YouTube is a shitty way to discover new music.

a) what is mathcore and b) why is protest the hero classified as it (to me it's just prog metal, and pretty good prog metal afaik)

i rather saw my penis off with a rusty chainsaw
 
I like power metal a lot and find Angra pretty tepid. Nothing interesting at all from them.

Protest the Hero definitely does not have anything in common with Dillinger Escape Plan or Converge, I had never even heard of them as math anything.

Mathcore is metal that uses very technical timing or unique time signatures It's very complex and precise. sorry about your penis.

@Capt Kirby.
How is protest not mathcore? I'd say they fit all of the criteria above. In fact i'd say they fit the criteria more than dilllinger escape plan does.
 
it is prog metal and glorified metalcore at the same time. there's really not much of a difference if you can look past the music's superficial qualities.

"lol"
 
i wasn't mocking their name. they are one of the worst metal bands i've ever heard. kind of like an ADHD-ridden, sloppy, incoherent version of a middle-of-the-road band (maudlin of the well).
 
Ronnie James Dio, whose soaring vocals, poetic lyrics and mythic tales of a never-ending struggle between good and evil broke new ground in heavy metal, died Sunday, according to a statement from his wife and manager. He was 67.

Dio revealed last summer that he was suffering from stomach cancer shortly after wrapping up a tour in Atlantic City, N.J. with the latest incarnation of Black Sabbath, under the name Heaven And Hell.

"Today my heart is broken, Wendy Dio wrote on the singer's site, adding he died at 7:45 a.m. "Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes before he peacefully passed away.

"Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all, Wendy Dio continued. "We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us ... Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

The statement was confirmed by Los Angeles publicist Maureen O'Connor.

Dio rose to fame in 1975 as the first lead singer of Rainbow, the heavy metal band put together by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who had just quit Deep Purple.

Dio then replaced legendary vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath in 1980 with the critically acclaimed album "Heaven And Hell, considered by many critics to be one of the finest heavy metal albums of all time. His on-again, off-again tenure with Black Sabbath touched off an intense debate among fans as to which singer was the true essence of the band — a discussion that lasted until his death.

He also enjoyed a successful solo career with his self-titled band, Dio, in between his three stints with Black Sabbath (1980-82; 1992; and 2007-2009, when the band toured as Heaven And Hell, to differentiate it from Osbourne-led versions of Sabbath).

Many of his most memorable songs revolved around the struggle between good and evil, including his signature tune "Heaven And Hell. He also drew heavily on medieval imagery in songs like "Neon Knights, "Killing The Dragon and "Stargazer.

"He possessed one of the greatest voices in all of heavy metal, and had a heart to match it, said Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French, whose band toured with Dio since 1983, and was to do so again this summer at European rock festivals. "He was the nicest, classiest person you would ever want to meet.

Dio organized an all-star charity collaboration in 1986 called "Hear N Aid to raise money for famine relief in Africa, styled on the successful "We Are The World campaign of a few years earlier.

His solo hits included "Rainbow In The Dark, "The Last In Line and "Holy Diver.

R.I.P Ronny.

And protest the hero is one of my favourite bands, but I've listened to them so much I just... can barely do it anymore, and their first album is far superior to fortress IMO, saw em in september with Killswitch, In Flames and Between the Buried and Me but I just went for PTH and BTBAM because I really don't like killswitch or in flames...

at all.
