The Metal Thread Genre • Page 69

I haven't really followed Sepultura a lot post Max, but I agree, this album is not bad.

 

You've probably heard it, but the new vektor rips

 

Early candidate for the weirdest album of 2017 goes to these guys

Weird but I actually kind of like it

 

If you'll pardon my plebeianity for a moment, I'd like to share a few examples of deathcore that may have something that appeals to the traditional extreme metal fan.

Aversions Crown. Fantastic Australian deathcore that takes a lot of cues from tech-death, but in an entirely tasteful ways. Their lyrics are also a selling point for me - poetic, vile, despairing, and mystical all rolled into one. On top of that, some of those riffs will get stuck in your head for days, man. They're not too terribly breakdown-heavy either if that's something that's a huge turnoff to you. And when they do play breakdowns, it's done in a tasteful or interesting way. Highly recommend these folks.

Lorna Shore. Blackened technical deathcore from New Jersey if I'm not mistaken. I know that sounds like a clustfuck, but trust me when I say it isn't. Technical riffing without getting wanky and blackened sounds that show the band has indeed listened to more black metal than Dimmu Borgir and Dark Funeral. Much like the above as well, when they do play breakdowns, they do it in an off-the-beaten-path way.

And that's just a couple of examples because I don't need to go on a twenty-band feature spree despite my wholehearted capability to do that like I'm trying to be Trevor Strnad or something because I have an assignment due in T-minus three hours sharp.

 

Already posted this in the tour thread, but will post here for relevancy.

Devastation on the Nation tour featuring: Cryptopsy, Decrepit Birth, Rivers of Nihil, The Zenith Passage, The Kennedy Veil, Visceral Disgorge, Seeker, and Gloom.

 

Decrepit Birth is so incredible. I'd be so mad if that tour was my only way to see them.

 

Darkest Hour February 25th in Minneapolis at the Cabooze! Hazaaa!!

 

damn sounds like the dude from Yob is in pretty poor condition, hope he recovers. seems like he's having a bunch of surgeries for some infection

 

Hot damn, I know this video was uploaded last year but this album has me hyped as hell. I bought it after listening to two songs, making it my first metal purchase of 2017. It absolutely crushes:

FFO: Dead Congregation, Incantation. Comes out Friday!

 

Kinda think i've fully made it into the deathcore scene. Whitechapel is my favorite but Thy Art is Murder is quickly becoming another favorite

 

Did you guys ever get into Impending Doom?

 

I like Impending Doom's older stuff. Not so much their newer stuff. I go as far as The Serpent's Servant, and from then on I don't care much for it.

 

I'm not a huge deathcore fan, but Whitechapel's This Is Exile remains one of my favorite heavy releases. Also get into All Shall Perish if you haven't already.

 

I saw The Body play an all electronic set last night with Alcest, and it was okay. Definitely prefer them live when they're playing as a drum and guitar two piece a lot more though.

 

Nailed. Dead. Risen. was a banger back in the day. Are those guys even still around?

 

Oh my god All Shall Perish is awesome! Thank you!

 

You're welcome. ASP is easily my favorite deathcore band. The singer is now singing with Suicide Silence, but he's said that he'll be back to make another All Shall Perish album soon. Although he's been saying that for a while now.

 

oh god how is he capable of making that fucking "Teehee" noise on the new SS song?!? He's too talented for this!

 

New Mastodon song:

Sultan's Curse mp3

 

Pallbearer – “Thorns”

 

interesting, so that's what they're doing on this tour then? hmm

 

the boys are back in town

 

Yep. Here's a video of them playing a set last week in RI:

 

Fuck and new Mastodon!?

 

hell yeah fam
