Currently listening to older music I never checked out and God Forbit fucks so hard!

I started from their album Gone Forever and I love it so much! What other metalcore album/artist should I give a try?

Do you first notice vocals or instruments in a core song?

Many people around me acknowledge a lot of vocals and lyrics. I on the other hand notice a lot of guitar riffs or drums first. Most of my favorite songs have strong riffs. Ofc it's not black and white and there are a lot of song with strong vocals that I love. But guitar riffs is the best thing on metalcore for me.

Any tips on learning complex metalcore rhythms on bass/guitar?

I’m trying to learn Gone With The Wind by Architects, the breakdown part in particular. I love metalcore and have done for a long time, but I mostly play Knocked Loose/Kublai Khan type stuff, nowhere near as technical. Do any of you guys have a technique for breaking down really complex grooves to learn more easily?

Album Discussion Thread: The Browning - OMNI

Artist: The Browning

Release: Omni

Release Date: November 8th, 2024

Cover Art: Here

Metalcore veterans The Browning have been around since 2005 and are back with the newest installment of their sound that everyone knows and loves. OMNI is their 6th studio album and packs a punch with a running time of just 26 minutes. The band opted for doing a release schedule that is akin to many other bands with releasing five singles in the last year. Some may take issue of it as the album only has ten songs with two of them being an intro to a bigger song.

I personally enjoyed almost all of the singles and the intro Wake Up reminded me of a hype song like Animus by Diamond Construct. It just gets you into the mood of what the album wants you to feel. Alas I'm not sure how much staying power this album will have in years coming like Geist had, which I feel is their best album. Deceiver, Omni, Poison, and Wake Up were the standouts for me. What are your thoughts on the new album?

Ice Nine Kills live show

So I went to the Amity show in Brisbane last night and they were supported by Heavens Gate, WCAR and Ice Nine Kills.

Now I knew going in that Ice Nine were a horror themed band but I’m terribly across their catalogue. Their stage show was very animated. Actors on stage playing out psychopaths and all that jazz. Pretty entertaining for the most part.

But then came the video clip. In the background of some song I assume was related to the latest terrifier movie, were three massive screens visible in HD detail even to the nosebleed section, suddenly there’s a clown ripping an unborn baby from a pregnant woman’s vagina and strangling her with the umbilical cord.

I gotta say man.. regardless of what you think of the band/video etc, this was an AA show. There were kids there. A lot of people who were obviously not aware of the band were visibly affected.

Not very cool of the band or promoter to not give any kind of warning. It kinda put a dampener on the whole evening, having that image fresh in our minds as Amity took the stage.

Anyway - far warning for anyone attending an INK supported show who doesn’t feel like seeing that shit.

Hi. Little confusion

Guys do we consider Alesana more of a posthardcore/screamo band or is it metalcore? Because in the last time I kind of heard the metalcore in it.

Left-handed guitarists in metal/deathcore.

I was arguing with some friends. Are left-handed guitarists in Core so rare? I only remember Kris Dawson, from Bury Tomorrow.
