Acey Trixx Posted July 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 ok well ill put in my two cents. Im sure Jim will agree with some. i guess the best idea is to list the best albums by some bands to start with...then if you love you can explore thier other works. strung out - an american paradoxglasseater - everything is beautiful when you dont look down18 visions - vanity...these guys mix up rock and roll with metalcore so you should really like em.underoath - theyre only chasing safetyand if you love TBS try "pollyanna" by Northstaryou mustve heard finch yeah??cheers will check em out! and yer i saw finch at the lemon tree so i like them as well just aint listend to em recently so i totally forgot about em have to dig it out me thinks.

Jim Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 I would've thought you'll really like the stuff Ben is recommending. If you like more extreme stuff you should definately check out the likes of Drowningman - Rock n Roll Killing MachineConverge - Jane DoeCandiria - 300% DensityBotch - We Are The RomansDillinger Escape Plan -Calculating InfinityNorma Jean - Bless The Martyr, Kiss The ChildHope Conspiracy - Cold Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 come again...oh yeah i forgot its uncool to like the newer FATA stuff huh?? Even though its far superior...in everyway...hxc sucks in so many ways...Cool or not, in my opinion FATA are not a good band. I like one of the songs from the first album ('Take Her To The Record Store' or something) and dislike pretty much everything else they've done. The new album is better than the first though.What sucks about hardcore anyway? The scene is full of bands that genuinely have something to offer but has also been polluted by a ton of bands who don't. It's not surprising - the same thing happens to every genre that becomes popular.I don't really consider many of the bands that get mentioned in conjunction with the scene to be 'hardcore' per se; In my eyes it's just a new wave of metal bands of varying quality seeking some sort of underground credibility. I couldn't care less how 'cool' it is to like certain groups or use certain tags - I stopped caring about scene points when I was about 14 so you don't need to question my integrity by wondering whether I hate your favourite bands because I'm scared that someone who reads this might not think I'm as cool as I want them to.I just want to be blown away by a band that can actually deliver what it promises and all these new acts seem to fall so short of the mark.

Guest Ewan SSR Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 "suicide notes..." is awesome. I would say it's much heavier than "The Curse" but "The Curse" is brilliant as well. Although I would totally agree with Ben to listento suicide notes first as the curse is a lot different. I would also recommend listening to:From First To Last - Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has A Body CountAlexisonfire - Alexisonfire and Watch Out!Saosin - Translating the Name EPFrom Autumn To Ashes - New album ( i forget the name)Killswitch Engage - The End Of HeartacheOh yeah.

Rab Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 ive heard and hate both dillenger and converge Rab (who ya may have seen post around here) likes em and nah i couldnt get into em...i thought i heard a converge track i liked but upon listening to the album at his again it appears i didnt lol.I'm not really into my hardcore (or whatever) much but i fucking LOVE 'Jane Doe'. It is absolute heaven. Can't wait for new album. I have a suspicion that the new dillinger album is out, and the new neurosis one...hot damn! 8o I can't believe i didn't check for them in abdn the other day...

Jim Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 The new Neurosis album is out and apparently ACE. The new DEP is out shortly (2 weeks or so).The new Converge album is out in September I think. Everyone I've spoken says it's rubbish though. I'm not sure if I can believe them...

KarmaTsunami Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 i like the track i heard from it on the epitaph site but people i've talked to say it sounds poo too this is upsetting. Grant, I'll back up Jim's recs of -norma Jean - bless the martyr, kiss the child converge - jane doeand add to this...johnny truant - the repurcussions of a badly planned suicidestrapping young lad - city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never picked up the Johnny Truant (mini-)album though, always meant to.If the new Converge album is not amazing I will cry. The new Dillinger one is soooo different (from what i've heard).

medichi Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Armsbendback are AWFUL. Terrible, terrible band....New Converge is ace, I reckon - it is a little different, but still Converge to the core. Reckon you'll dig it - not quite a "Jane Doe", but better than 99% of the stuff out there.....Everyone should listen to BoySetsFire.....

Acey Trixx Posted July 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Killswitch Engage - The End Of Heartachei have that album i think its amazing. i always kinda thought rose of sharyn was kinda emoish the way the lyrics are...didnt seem straight up metal to me anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 strapping young lad - cityYES! Anything Devin Townsend has done in the last 7 years is worth your hard-earned cash.And 'Imprint' by Vision of Disorder if you're getting into heavy metal/hardcore stuff. And of course you should avail yourself of at least one Black Flag album, 'Damaged' is the best place to start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 He doesnt like the fact they try and look as good as their music sounds..."haircut hardcore" an all that... Really? They can't be trying all that hard, because to me they look like big ugly fat dudes with bad hair and make-up, they don't look that different from any third-generation nu-metal band. Certainly better musically, but in terms of image they play up to what's en vogue as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
