Post Hardcore / Screamo / Hardcore / Deathcore / anythingcore / etc.

Well yeah it's no doubt they're better at playing their instruments now, but I think Kezia has better harmonies and song structure (or lack thereof) and stuff like that.

But I mean come on they wrote that shit when they were 17.

@Popemobile: Don't judge someone on a personal level because of what they listen to. That's shallow and dare-I-say, childish. ;)
 
ADTR = standard pop + bad metalcore

In case you can't do the math, that means bad. Really bad. A Day to Remember is one of the few bands that actually disgusts me.
By the way, if anybody posts crunkcore, I will flip shit on them. It's a terrible genre.
what a waste of post 900
 
Seconding Fall of Troy, truly amazing 3 piece band. Doppleganger and everything before it really is fantastic.

Fall of Troy - FCPREMIX

Enter Shikari really deserves a place on anyone's play list, though I didn't enjoy common dreads as much as take to the skies, it just wasn't as fun but it's by no means bad!

Enter Shikari - Mothership

Enter Shikari - Enter Shikari

Sienna skies and Parkway drive have been dismissed by many for being a core band but truly are very, very good imo. PWD's album Horizons is by far their best work, and SS's truest of colours is amazing! sea of smiles is just so goddamn fun to listen too.

Parkway Drive - Dead Man's Chest

Parkway Drive - Horizons

Sienna Skies - Heartquake


I really don't know how you could hate a day to remember, it's a really different mix of genres and I dig them pretty hard.

Can't go past protest the hero. heretics and killers got me hoooked years back and is still fucking sweet.

Call me ignorant but I like a skylit drive, an example of a screamo band gone right in contrast to the devil wears prada and the such.
 
I think user spies had the best post in this thread. The Saddest Landscape is astounding.

@MD: Part by part breakdown.
-Fall of Troy has talent, obviously, I just don't like them much atm.
-Enter Shikari is kinda odd.
-I hate Parkway Drive. Sienna Skies was okay.
-ADTR is one of the easiest bands ever to hate. I laugh at some artists, I enjoy others, but I HATE ADTR.
-Protest the Hero would be soooooo much better without the vocalist, I don't like his clean vocals.
-A Skylit Drive is an example of a band I really don't like.

Read the part of my sig below the hide tags. You could get a lot from this thread.
 
 
The music iv heard from this genre have mainly been recs from deschain but here goes anyway :)

Sky Eats Airplane have an awsome hardcore-electro sorta sound I reall dig. The new Norma Jean has been one of my favorites of thie year and iv heard the Underoath album Cries of the past which was mainly black metal I think. I cheaked out there later stuff to but never really got into it ya know.
 
>Underoath
>Black Metal

>Mekong Delta
>Hardcore

What the fuck?

Anyway

Haven't heard the new Norma Jean but they're playing a show with Alexisonfire sometime this year so I guess I'll check it out. Alexisonfire just released a new EP too and from what I've heard it's much better than their last album, which was pretty awful.

Edit: I'm half way through 'War All the Time' and jesus christ I don't know what song I heard that could've made me not like these guys. Shit's tight. (Edited again! Finished, awesome)

Oh by the way Arcticblast, I'm almost 100% sure that there's an instrumental version of Protest's second album.

Waityeah there is.
 
I searched through this thread and didn't find anything about Senses Fail. What a shame, they're one of my favorite bands, falling solidly into the "post hardcore" genre. I'm not really a fan of their first EP (From the Depths), but Let it Enfold You was decent. Still Searching is widely considered to be their best album (it is my favorite), and it is a superb work in general. Life is Not a Waiting Room is decent IMO, but some of the songs are forgettable. I'm still listening to The Fire to see what I think of it, and I might do a music review of it for fun. It's good in general, but the screaming seems forced rather than natural and some of the songs are mediocre.

I saw them live alongside Bayside, Title Fight, and Balance and Composure. Buddy Nielsen isn't that good without voice modulation helping him, and I couldn't even hear the lead guitarist at the show. But even so, Senses Fail is still awesome.

Speaking of which, Bayside is excellent live, and their music is pretty good, though it tends more towards punk rather than hardcore stuff.

Thursday's best offering is War Al lthe Time, followed by Full Collapse.

their first was pretty weak, and their fourth was also pretty weak.

their newest was back to form, but still not as good as their second and third albums.

also make sure you're heard Jet Black New Year. one of their best tracks.
 
War All the Time is great. I've got Full Collapse and the EP that Jet Black New Year is on, but I haven't listened just yet.

Also, I'm pretty glad I DL'd the version of War All the Time with the Sigur Ros cover on it. That track is monstrous.

Right now I'm listening to The Chemistry of Common Life by Fucked Up and I guess it's pretty good. A bit cheesy IMO but not terrible.

The Saddest Landscape song that Spies linked to has some really, really cool stuff going on in it, but I'm not completely sold. I'll probably end up DL'ing it sometime.

Has anyone heard any really good hardcore this year? Cause personally I've found this year to be pretty freaking terrible when it comes to /core stuff. Notable exceptions being stuff like Rinoa, Daughters and (this isn't very /core) Four Year Strong. (And even FYS release wasn't as good as their last effort)

Oh and Cold Craving.
 
Imma bump this k??????

Yes I know, old thread, but I enjoyed it. When I wasn't mad.

Anyway, time to explore the heavier side of -core.
Grindcore - A ton of stuff mixed together with moderate to heavy hardcore influence.
Pig Destroyer - Girl In the Slayer Jacket (album cover is NSFW)
Magrudergrind - 211 / Emo Holocaust
Napalm Death - When All Is Said and Done

Deathcore
The Red Chord - Fixation on Plastics
All Shall Perish - Stabbing To Purge Dissimulation
Glass Casket - Too Scared to Live
Pledge This - Death Row

And a bit of metalcore to finish up.
Between the Buried and Me - Prequel To the Sequel
Cancer Bats - Hail Destroyer (CB was already posted, but fuckit they deserve to be posted again)
Killswitch Engage - Vide Infra (2000) So I like their debut. Sue me.
Converge - Axe to Fall
Botch - Japam

n.b. Two of the members of BtBaM are also in Glass Casket.

Phatom Limb is probably my least favourite Pig Destroyer album. Though I haven't heard Explosions in Ward 6.

Prowler in the Yard is fucking awesome though. Terrifyer isn't as consistent but it is very good too. Phantom Limb just never did anything for me.

Aside from Pig Destroyer, I love early Carcass, Terrorizer, and occasionally some Extreme Noise Terror and Napalm Death are what I dabble in. That's about it I think. Insect Warfare and some other bands look quite appealing though.

I suppose !T.O.O.H.! are worth noting too. They are basically technical death metal mixed with deathgrind, which sounds impossible but they do it pretty well. Fucked up vocals as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egw9BCKjHqk

As far as non grind hardcore/punk ventures go, crossover thrash is also fairly awesome, but I'm not well familiar with that at all.

I've never been a big fan of the "classic" punk scene (Sex Pistols, The Clash, etc). Misfits' first three albums are fucking awesome though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyd8dY8rRtA

As far as straight up hardcore goes, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and early Discharge all fucking own.

Been meaning to get into crust punk for a long time. I fucking love Nuclear Death Terror. Basically Aus Rotten mixed with the first wave black metal bands (early Bathory, Celtic Frost, etc) and I hear some death metal in the mix too. Metalheads would like this band. A lot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLVtyKdn7lA&feature=related

And the Descendents, who will get a lot of hate from the elitist type hardcore fan due to adding a lot of pop sensibilities to it, and some lyrics that can be admittedly annoying sometimes. Still awesome. Milo Goes To College is one of my favourite albums ever.

Some stuff on my playlist:
-Alexisonfire
-Broadway
-Dance Gavin Dance (Happiness is their best album for me, but that might be cause I heard that one first, DBM's pretty sweet too)
-ADTR (yea, I know...)
-Emarosa
-Emery (<3 last album)
-Enter Shikari
-Escape The Fate (though they kinda suck now, still some good songs though)
-Funeral For A Friend
-La Dispute (god it's so gay but I love it so much)
-Letlive
-Oceana
-Of Machines
-Saosin
-Silverstein
-Thrice
-Underoath
 
Found A Day to Remember through Pandora, but honestly I wasn't a huge fan of them. Some of their songs were interesting, but I just skipped others.

EDIT: Just listened to Attack Attack, and I was like "ugh". I tend to dislike more scream-centric songs: IMO, screaming should be the spice to a song, not the main part of it. That's also why I dislike some of Senses Fail's "harder" stuff.

Raging Speedhorn come from my town. I work with the old Bassist (Left in '07?) (Darren Smith's) Brother & I've been out drinking and played CoD with the Bigger Vocalist (John Loughlin)

Anyways only recently started listening to this genre of music again (Went through a phase of Indie/Alt music last year)

Going to see BMTH (Supported by Parkway Drive, Architects & Devil wears prada) & ADTR (Support not annoucned) next year. Hopefully going to see Enter Shikari next year too, was supposed to see them last year, alas split with my then girlfriend who witheld the tickets from me.

Anyways, another band from corby have started making waves any you heard of them ACODA?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozOH6oiBJ-U

EDIT:

Why are Attack Attack bad?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXuZDdAXh-w&feature=related

That's why, that whole song is why, that video is why. I don't get how this needs any more explaining.
