The Metal Thread [ARCHIVED} Genre • Page 202

If any of you do enjoy that Rolo Tomassi album their older material is worth checking out too (Grievances is particularly good). Their older stuff sits a lot more in the heavier end of this albums spectrum though.

 

Isis and Rosetta are two of my favorite bands I’ll dive into their discography.

 

I’ve not heard Rosetta so I’ll have to check them out.

 

From that review it sounds like I'll like this too. Though I may only give it a couple listens and wait for part two to really dive into it.

 

the new Slugdge album is out today

 

speaking of BTBAM


drip drip

 

You knew it would happen eventually. I bet you the band did it themselves!

 

Prob the top melodic death album of all time. Defined swedish death. It's amazing the sound they put out in the 90s

 

Friday afternoon updates:

-The new Rolo Tomassi is alright. When I listening to it, my mind kept wandering, thinking about listening to bands like Oathbreaker or TDEP instead of RT. Not to say I won't revisit it, but it just didn't click for me on first listen.

-The new Ancst is good. It does a good job of scratching that blackened crust itch that hasn't been satisfied since Totem Skin broke up. I wish they would have added a few more melodic elements to the album, but it was good upon first listen.

-The Iron Reagan/Gatecreeper split shows both bands at the top of their game IMO. The Iron Reagan tracks are fun crossover like you've come to expect from them. The three Gatecreeper tracks are awesome OSDM, as per usual.

-I bought a Gatecreeper snapback today. Lord help me.

 

Gatecreeper and SnapBack are two words I would NEVER have imagined would go together.

 

You too can join the revolution:

After this conversation about snapback hats, I went down a bit of a headwear merch wormhole. Here are some of the most egregious designs on Indie Merch Store with commentary:



I'm not sure I want deathcore to be built up again in your image, Thy Art. And was deathcore ever really that great to begin with? C'mon, ya ((Aussies)).


Why would you defend something you are not in the musical world? I can't wait for the Deafheaven snapbacks that say Defend Thrash Metal on them.



Let everyone know you're a part of the Nazi edgelord revolution.



Metal Blade knows how to bring the puns for the holidays.

 

Can someone delete that post it hurts my eyes

 

If you slapped First Blood or Earth Crisis on that military cap it would make a lot of sense.

 

this is what happens when i get tired of sending out e-mails at work. sorry guys. :(

 

- Deathcore has always been great imo but lol yeah back when those hats first went up I was like....... TAIM, I love you guys, but in this political climate, wearing a red baseball cap in ANY format is a bad idea. Lol.

I may end up getting a band cap of some kind soon as well seeing as I work outdoors for my job and given that my hair will be dyed soon, I'd rather it not get sun-bleached, lol.

Then again, having a hat is generally a good idea when summer rolls around.

 

Hxc shows are strange. Vein's set was only 10 minutes long. Queensway and Creeping Death (who were awesome) both played 20+ minutes before them.

Whatever... Ringworm and Harms Way still to come.

 

Vein have, like, 30 minutes of material period and a lot of that is 3+ years old

How were they and Queensway?

 

I'm new to both bands but they were both good despite sounding more or less like every other hardcore band. Maybe if I was more familiar with the material, it'd be different. Ringworm was really good, but the crowd was the weakest for them.

 

I’ve heard Ringworm isn’t a band people go off for, which is weird since they’re so revered

 

It's strange. Maybe their fan base is just a little bit older since they've been around for so long. I don't really know what it is.

 

Indeed it is. Was listening to it earlier.

 

I extremely love the Rolo Tomassi record.

A mix of elements from 3 of my favorite bands, TDEP, Converge and Deafheaven.... yes pls

 

Got my Deathwish CD surprise bundle and the first album I pulled out was Birds In Row: Personal War. Wow! What a sick record. Some definite Converge vibes but more melodic.
