Deathcore, Metalcore, Screamo & Hardcore - Favorite Bands?
 

I didn't see too many threads on these genres, then again I didn't do a wide search on the entire website. This thread should serve the purpose to share bands within these genres (you can somewhat deviate) and at the same time perhaps post a youtube video of your favourite song from that specific band.


It Dies Today "A Threnody for Modern Romance" - YouTube

I'm going to go with a band I used to listen to years ago and enjoyed more than I expected to. With their unfortunate declaration as no longer being a band, they deserve a little commemoration :clap:

Converge - don't really have a favourite song, i think they're all pretty good songs

Can't hate Dillinger Escape Plan, I love the complexity of their music and how that technicality doesn't sacrifice the brutality found in modern day metal.
Plus I'm a Mike Patton fanboy and Irony is a Dead Scene is a fantastic EP.

The only thing I've bothered listening to by dillinger escape plan is the Irony is a Dead Scene. It`s so good that I don`t feel like I need anything else by them

been getting into Suicide Silence

"The Black Crown" is pretty meh, but "No Time To Bleed"? - gooooooooooood

Job for a Cowboy (they're more death metal these days though) are great. Born of Osiris, As I Lay Dying, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Chariot, Parkway Drive, Iwrestledabearonce, Touche Amore among others. But I don't listen to the genre all that extensively.

I hate to get all genre nit-picky and whatnot, but screamo has nothing to do with metal.

Never been a deathcore fan, but I like Rings of Saturn and See You Next Tuesday.

Gonna ostricize myself here, but I like a couple seconds of a TDWP song.

DEP rules, you guys.

Coalesce is pretty good as well, they're more mathcore, though

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken it is another term used to describe post-hardcore bulls**t like Attack Attack! Or its used by the general public to describe any metal at all that contains harsh vocals......how frustrating

How does everybody feel about the Soundtrack for the movie Tron? Is that screamo?

it's more like stuff like Refused

the metal variant is called "screamcore", if i'm not mistaken

although black metal itself usually involves screaming

LOLPOCALYPSE you're posts remind me nothing more of a donkey's last squel before death

Your attempts at trolling remind me of the same thing.

is that your college friend again?

Screamo is stuff like Orchid, pg.99, Saetia, Circle Takes the Square, Reversal of Man, etc

^^never heard of, or heard, any of those

Yup, Refused were not screamo, they were hardcore punk/post-hardcore. Screamo has nothing to do with deathcore, metalcore etc. Putting City of Caterpillar in the same bracket as Bring Me The Horizon is obscene.

Speaking of Bring Me the Horizon, this is the only song by them I actually like. I think it's cause the song basically admits that they're just a ****ty melodic metalcore band pretending to play death metal.

I don't understand why this stuff is called hardcore. Negative Approach is hardcore... and they sound absolutely nothing like this other "hardcore".



EDIT:

Dillenger Escape Plan songs seem to be an excuse to showcase what they can do with their instruments. Nothing I've heard by them is catchy or fun.... and everytime someone plays them for me the preceding comment is, "[t]hese guys are really technical...." which certainly doesn't bode well.

ps; what the **** is it with fans of this genre and the obsession with acronyms?

He sits behind me in class...

Spamming this site is more productive than anything else that occurs in there anyway, I'm afraid.

Wouldn't abbreviation be more conveniant than writing out a huge name, especially when said band is universally known, in text, by abbreviation?

I like chaos and erraticism, so DEP owns.

Batlord, that was the best Dillenger Escape Plan song I've heard. It was still horrible, however; the loud/soft dynamic nonsense, portions (such as the piano) added because "????", the horn section....

Also, was it just me, or was the production of that song pretty godawful? It sounded flat, like early Scott Burns productions, but without the fuzz or grime.

Were it universally known, I wouldn't be scratching my chin thinking, "TDWP.... is.... uhhh....?"

Really, the level of abbreviation with this subgenre is almost Soviet in it's frequency and intensity, and the fact that the fans can communicate effectively using it seems to be indicative of a sort of epistemic closure.

I'm not a big fan of all the ridiculous sentence long names either. They generally just seem to be an excuse to make a self consciously weird sounding name even though it's really just awkward. I mean, the first time I ever heard of Gay for Johnny Depp, sure I chuckled, but after that all I could think was, "Why would you want to call your band, Gay for Johnny Depp?"

my fave is Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

it's funny

I am not picky with any music really. I like Miss May I, As I Lay Dying, Of Mice & Men, The Devil Wears Prada and Haste The Day, just to name a few. Some love these bands, others hate them. Its what makes music so cool for me, the different tastes of people, just like a spectrum.

i also like this German metalcore callled "Caliban"

i really ought to get more stuff from them, they're also pretty underrated, I suppose

and also i liked them in the days when I didn't even know what "metalcore" is - i chanced upon them on a metal program on the Asian equivalent of MTV

I don't mind Caliban, they used to make a really visceral and raw blend of hardcore and metal but now I'd say they're just one of the better bands in the melodic metalcore department--they've changed their sound on these past few albums. The just released a new album a couple of weeks ago that I thought was pretty decent. Here's the first single:

*note, the video is pretty silly. But I think all music videos are silly.

With a lot of these bands nowadays, its you hear one, you've heard them all.
But in saying that, there are still a few good deathcore, metalcore, whatevercore bands out there.

Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage, Carnifex, Oceano, As Blood Runs Black, Suicide Silence, Unearth to name a few are some of my old regular listens.

And even though im pretty much over this style of music, i still enjoy the odd ever so predictive and sometimes wanky breakdown.

Also have to agree with the weird names some of these bands have. Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, I Shot The Sheriff, Upon A Burning Body, Spider Killed Bananaman.
I'm all for originality and standing out in a very overcrowded scene, but really?

Any of you attending Vans Warped Tour this year? Some great bands that I like in the lineup.

nah, the audio quality in that particular video just sucks

im not to keen on musical style and whats what but i give it a try on some of my favs



Deathcore-Necrophagia..tho there prob more Halloweencore :P umm "Animosity",Gorerotted,Arsonists Get All The Girls

Metalcore-Psycroptic,Arsis,

Screamo -From a Second Story Window..are they consider screamo ????

Hardcore-Poison Idea,Arson anthem .... when i think of hardcore i usually think of the older 00's bands and like 80's NYC/NJ hardcore bands LOL

dillinger escape plan, between the buried and me, black dahlia murder

A lot that I would've mentioned have been mentioned in here. Especially BTBAM. The mixture of prog and metalcore is impressive.

i had a paragraph long post but i'll limit it to this...

What bands do you thing were most important in creating the "metalcore" scene we have today?
i think DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, Sepultura

i mean before converge and all that stuff, before it could be called metalcore

Oh I see your argument for Suicidal and DRI in that they are crossover thrash bands but I don't see where you're coming from with Sepultura.

sepultura has alot of the rhythm and grittiness of punk, as opposed to the machine gun firings and tight distortion of most metal bands. its a certain kind of imperfection that i like alot. i should say im more of a punk than i am a metalhead, but 3-chord structures get boring after a while

I'm not sure myself, but I've heard Jamey Jasta (of Hatebreed) comment on how much influence Chaos A.D. had on modern hardocre. Maybe that's bull****, maybe not, I don't really know enough about hardcore to have any idea.
