If you can tolerate it, my suggestion would be to start with something more on the hardcore side of metalcore, like Converge's "Jane Doe", or Trap Them's "Darker Handcraft" (moreso crust/grind but close enough). Genghis Tron are another band worth looking out for too, they incorporate a lot of electronic music elements and have some great melodic moments mixed in with their spazzy metal sound.

Dude.....that's all I listen to. But Deathcore ****ing sucks. And Trap Them is nowhere near metal/deathcore. They ARE grind/crust. And I am not really a fan of Genghis. Converge is okay I suppose.

But stuff like Suicide Silence, Attila, A Day to Remember, WhiteChapel, Emmure, etc. God that stuff is boring and it lacks any originality.

Yeah, but it's better than all that ZHHHHHHHHCCCCHHhhhcZzZChmmmmmmmOOWWzZxxxXXXXhcCCZH harsh noise stuff.

You should check out the song "My Love, My Love (We've Come Back From The Dead" by Zao. I'm not a fan of Metalcore but that song is very interesting.

Metalcore and deathcore, sure I could probably find something from there I enjoy, but I generally don't find it worth of my time since there's (sub)genres I enjoy far more than it, so it doesn't deserve exploration in my eyes.

Wyrd · 10-14-2011, 09:50 AM

Been rec'd Zao and I hated them.

Jeck is more like beautiful art

i listen to noise....as in "power electronics"....bands like Whitehouse, Sutcliffe Jungend, Brighter Death Now etc etc. (and Merzbow)

for me it's simply the audible concept of transgressive ideals...esp. with Whitehouse (who i suppose are like the Beatles of the genre)....i mean you can sit and listen to Quality Time or Birdseed while reading Bataille's "Erotism: Death and Sensuality"....and see practical exact comparisons between the two.....

i think another great quote obout why there are those of us who actually enjoy this type of music is actually from Roger Karmanik (who owns a predominant noise label "Cold Meat Industry" and is the sole member of Brighter death Now)

"music for people who like hearing the revolving sound of another persons nightmares"

i think that is a perfect description

i will say this....out of all the types of music that i listen to....this is the only type i in no way shape of form attempt to push on people....this will never be popular......with this it is simply you get it and like it.....or it is nothing but noise.....which it is

Have tried:
Joy Division
New Order
The Chameleons
The Cure
Television
Wire
some others

Admittedly, I dig "Marquee Moon", but it hardly seems like post punk to me

Does Meat Puppets count as Post Punk? They're different punk after the major Punk movement, probably a little more on the hardcoreish side with country mixed in. I love Meat Puppets II if you wanna check that out.

Fantastic album, but I always thought it leaned more towards alternative rock.

For Mr. Mondo Bungle:

Here's a song from my favorite noise artist/band. It has vocals (which might help), and it's from the late 70s/early 80s.

Oh... and this... (noise music from 1913).

Also... Janszoon (or bob.), what Philip Jeck album would you recommend?
