Yeah, I completely agree,
Act of Depression and
Cries Of The Past epitomized commercial screamo/hardcore/metalcore, you condescending douchebag; learn your f
ucking genres.
Underoath was most definitely one of the major pioneers of Christian Death Metal, and if you deny their musical originality when Dallas Taylor was present then you obviously haven't listened to much music.
You're open to your own opinions in terms of musical aesthetic of course, but seriously, how could you classify
Act Of Depression and
Cries Of The Past commercial screamo??
You should have known that they no longer label themselves as a "Christian" band, restricting my recommendation of their music to their older albums, for this thread (and for any other, of course).
Mortal Treason was also a great band, their songs are filled with their beliefs in such passionate, expressive forms.
And even though they played in a style that catered to the tough guy breakdowns in most Christian metalcore acts of the time, they actually wrote lyrics that articulately intimated their opinions and thoughts.
