^Fucking strange. Not much for the vocals. Entertaining nonetheless.

Here. Have some straight-up beat-your-face in metal.

Idk, it's just kinda there...nothing special! 5/10.



This is kind of metal lol.

7/10, not bad at all. I'm not a fan of these guys, but they got a couple good ones.

YouTube - Double Agent 616 Sonic Syndicate (with lyrics)

Wow, I am seriously digging this song. The clean is great, riff is great, screaming is amazing. 9/10.

YouTube - Dream Theater - Stream Of Consciousness (instrumental)

first off, this thread alone has actually lead to me liking a few new bands alot. And i have found some new songs to call my favorite for a while. Pretty awesome really.

I give that instrumental a 8/10. Good stuff.

YouTube - I, Victim- The Showdown

ahh yes The Showdown... glad to see you've gotten into these guys. great southern metalcore. 9/10. they own live btw.

I discovered the Showdown when they opened up for this band.

YouTube - Haste The Day - When Everything Falls

First of all, that song by The Showdown was really good..never knew them before!

6/10 for that, idk, the high screams kind of got on my nerves haha.

YouTube - Protest The Hero - Sequoia Throne

Just listen to the complexity of the music.

HTD got on your nerves??? thats cool i guess. never heard anyone say that about the vocals. Jimmy Ryan has always been regarded as one of the best vocalist's. Then again he's from my hometown :).

8/10 I love PTH. I actually posted this vid earlier in the thread, DarkestHour gave it like a 3 or something. Pretty lame, but whatever I love this band and im seeing them at Soma on the 25th of Apr.

Well, I think it's because the vocals are like deathcore/metal, and the song isn't...he reminds me of Oli Sykes, but is in like a lighter band lol...clean is real good though!

the showdown is a very good band imo. I think i'm going to take some money out of my paycheck and buy their album in a couple days.
