Underoath Band • Page 86

I’m not anywhere near the underoath world, but in my early 20’s I was in a metalcore band and today (37) we will still get together every few years and write some new tunes.

I do not listen to that style of music at all, except for hitting some old favorites every so often and whenever ETID would release new music. But I have so much fun writing it & playing a show once in a while, so it’s definitely possible to connect with the music your writing without feeling like you’re just going through the motions.

for reference, this was the last thing we released, and I probably hadn’t listened to anything in that genre in 5-10 years when we wrote it.

 

I think I know that feeling a little bit. Metalcore was one of the genres I listened to the most in my teens but, few oldies and newer bands aside, I'm drawn to other stuff now. It does still seep into some music I write anyway. It could be in the riffs, the rhythmic patterns... Can't escape the influences from your formative years I guess lol

Sick song btw, I miss that era of southern metalcore which the riffing reminds me of.
