Nu metal? What's that? I've never heard of that kind of thing. :VWho here fucking misses the age of Nu Metal? I certainly do. Sadly it can never make a comeback. :S
Don't know how "new" you mean, but I've liked some of their stuff from a few years back. I think their lineup got shuffled around a bit so maybe they started sucking when they replaced band members.Thinking about grabbing Sonic Syndicate's earlier album, Only Inhuman. Their new stuff isn't all that good, and I'd like more of their music. Only way I can go is backwards.
You know, that song sounds oddly familiar, like I've heard another band play almost exactly the same tune. Don't know what, though.Firelake - Marooned
By "new" I mean their latest album, though I don't remember what it is called. It's the one with "Burn this City" which isn't a bad song I suppose...Don't know how "new" you mean, but I've liked some of their stuff from a few years back.

Listen to the band Elitist and pretend that wcar is better. Since when has metal ever been about watering down your music and making everything pretty with synth and effects that your band doesnt even have.Oh, get the fuck off your high horse. No one gives a flying shit; nobody posting in this thread is like that, so it's not a big deal if someone brings up a hardcore band on occasion. Hardcore is an adaptation of metal and most of us are aware of that, it's just none of us are stupid enough to think it's the evolution, simply an adaptation.
Besides, nobody here is an elitist metalhead, just metalheads of varying tastes. If anything, you're being the elitist here by calling someone out for music.
Oh. I had no idea they put out a new album, and I've never listened to it. Yea, the only stuff I listened to was the older stuff, before the one band member left. Mind you, I've only heard a little of their music though. Some of their older stuff I've heard is nothing BUT the growling/screaming you mentioned below.By "new" I mean their latest album, though I don't remember what it is called. It's the one with "Burn this City" which isn't a bad song I suppose...
Isn't that how most metal bands go? The record company wants a wider audience, so tells them to tone down the screaming and violent anger?What happened is either the band or their publishers wanted more coverage, so they wanted to tone down some of the scream/growling. This pissed off a member or two, who ended up leaving. They got replaced, and now the new stuff is more melody and the screaming/growling is covered up by more music and not let to stand on its own. I don't really like that, moreso for the reasoning for the change than the actual change. So, backwards I must go.
I personally didn't say wcar is better than anything (other than compare it to alt-rock and nu-metal). Tides is a pretty big fan of theirs, as they're local to both of us, where I'm just casually interested in them. Heh, synth and effects... sounds kinda like half the metal out there nowadays (Rammstein, anyone? Are they metal enough?).Listen to the band Elitist and pretend that wcar is better. Since when has metal ever been about watering down your music and making everything pretty with synth and effects that your band doesnt even have.
Even if it is metal, it still sucks because of how unspontaneous and monotonous it is.
So dont fucking post it in the "br00tal heavy metal" thread if its watered down, pretty, and/or FILLED with bass drop breakdowns.
WCAR may or may have not been metal. I thought it was (metalcore, and yes, I AM a fan of that genre, as well as other genres, so suck it), but it's close enough to almost be metal. Wiki lists it as such, anyway. It's an okay band, I like some of their shit, and when in my original post I said it was good music, I was comparing it to the alt-rock stuff the station usually plays, in which case it IS an improvement in my mind.

You know what, I was kind of being an asshole about this. but perhaps accept my apologies and we can just leave everyone to their own tastes?Oh, and I'm gonna double post, because this is about something completely different.
2 bands I've recently fallen in love with.
