Post-Hardcore/Metalcore Thread Genre • Page 100

Feel you regarding Rainbow, it gets a bit too breakdown heavy at some pont. I guess it's in line with the Risecore stuff that was trendy back then. They got more interesting once they replaced that with deathcore/sludge influences.

Just seen that they reunited for a show last month, and are thinking about doing more.

Amusing to see Telle Smith on bass and backing vocals here. Dude has been a part of every single late 00s metalcore band at some point lol


Also excited to dive more into Alesana. I vaguely remember strongly disliking the cleans on a single they put out back in the day. Wish I would've given them another chance because everything I've heard so far is really solid. Feels like a scenecore take on opera rock at times.

 

Alesana first two albums Try This With Your Eyes Closed and On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax will always be my favorite. Everything else that followed was good but those two are really special to me and classics.

Anyone check out the new Adept album? I had totally forgotten that band existed until I saw their name in a new release list and was like WHOA. Their 2009 debut album is also a classic and I had no idea it got remastered in 2019!

 

Also re: Greeley I wonder why their very first album Outside Of This isn't on Spotify? It's on their Bandcamp though, glad to see it somewhere. I remember that album being magical back in the summer of 04.

 

Telle was in the band when they recorded 'Go West...' but he left shortly after it came out I think, and the day before a tour with Alesana. Before Greeley, he was a vocalist for In Fear And Faith.

When he left Greeley he joined The Word Alive, and I believe there's a track on 'No Rain, No Rainbow' which was a diss track to Telle and then TWA had one in response on 'Deceiver'.

Thankfully they've patched things up since and are friends again, hence Telle joining them for these reunion shows.

 

I don't have any relationship to the earlier material, but I thought this new Adept album was pretty cool. It's probably viewed as very standard metalcore, but there were a lot of cool guitar work and some catchy post-hardcore influenced stuff.

 

i randomly found alesana on pure volume in 8th grade and i hit play on apology and when the screaming part came in it was life changing. before that i think i was listening to vanna and strictly myspace bands so i've never heard something like that before. i'm pretty sure i think of alesana as my saetia.

 

exactly, the first two albums are phenomenal but i got out after frail wings.

 

Really excited about this one. Godmode is great.

 

im seeing double LOL

 

Continuing with my blind spots, I'm going through Escape The Fate's discography for the first time and... a shame Ronnie is, uh, who he is because that debut EP and following album are pretty good and would've rocked my world back in the day. It sounds like a middle ground between From First To Last and Bullet For My Valentine's The Poison, as it shares 80s metal influences with the latter but doesn't dive as hard into melodic metalcore. A few of the choruses even remind me of Senses Fail.

Had no idea they had been at it for so long with Craig Mabitt, I wonder how popular they are with him these days.

 

Every October or November I go on a big post-hardcore/metalcore kick where I go through and rediscover bands/albums. It's always fun reminiscing as I listen. Outside of a few bands or albums, there's a lot that were removed from my library for whatever reason.

 

Due to your late 2000s/early 2010s post-hardcore/metalcore look back, it might be worth checking out this often looked over gem from that time.

 

For those who care, I went ahead and started my 2025 AOTY list because I'm not really aware of anything else coming out the rest of the year that I'm interested in. Top 8 I think is where things will end up, everything else is relatively random depending on what order I searched lol.

 

I think Ungrateful was the last Escape the Fate album I really got into, and even then I don't love every song on it. Still wild they got Patrick Stump to feature/co-write a song on it.

As time's gone on I think their self titled might be my favorite from them, a bunch of bangers on it

 

This look familiar, going to listen and see if I recognize anything

 

I was a little concerned at the start but wow, absolutely love this. His voice is just so good and it's sad that they're so underrated in the scene. This starts slow, but the chorus is huge and the breakdown is fantastic.

 

since the great white whale vinyl has come in ive been rinsing the secret and whisper discog like crazy. title track off great white whale is an all timer song for me, charles sounds unbelievable

sometimes i think about the hypothetical timeline in which the rumors of him joining saosin were true after cove left lol, complete bullshit but would have been pretty cool

 

Nice list! I got new albums from caskets, bearings, & armor for sleep dropping next month \m/

 

I saw these guys in 2011 opening a stacked bill. I See Stars, Abandon All Ships, Close Your Eyes, & Us From Outside

With that said both of their albums rip. First one being my favorite of the two

 

Oh I went through Like Moths To Flames' discography and wasn't prepared at how relentlessly heavy their last couple releases get. Doesn't even feel like the same band I remember from like 2010/2011.

 

New LMTF track is super solid

 

That’s because it’s a completely different lineup minus the vocalist Chris

 

Music video out tomorrow
