As a theory nerd, I do love unusual meters and polyrhythms when used well and in a way that enhances the music.

What's your favourite meter madness moments in metalcore?

Is anyone going to the Mini Festival here in Dresden?

For example In Flames heavily influenced melodic metalcore, and in their later albums they released some metalcore songs.

Not that no one else can use it obviously but something you hear and immediately think “awe yeah, this is metalcore” (e.g. techniques, song structures, styles)

The big two that come to mind are panic chords and breakdowns 🤔

Hi! I'm a Graphic Design student at University and I'm currently doing a project on the metalcore genre and I need some insight from the community. I'm a huge fan of the music, however, I don't really know anybody in the community and there isn't a lot of research available out in the wild.

I was wondering if this sub could help me out. I'm in need of some accounts of people's favourite memories from concerts and gigs, which could be from any band of any size. Also why people enjoy this music and what they think about the community surrounding it?

Any help will be appreciated greatly, even if it's just a few words or signposting towards any research or media to do with the genre. Thank you!

TL;DR University student in need of favourite stories from gigs

I believe there is a chapter missing from this amazing comment which documents the history of the Blegh. Paraphrasing:

• 1987: Corrosion of Conformity - 'Ahh Blugh': "perhaps the first blegh sound", imitating the sound of throwing up
• 1996: NOFX - 'Philthy Phil Philanthropist': "the first distinct blegh between lines in a song"
• 2009: Stray from the Path - 'The Things You Own End Up Owning You': "the first distinct metalcore blegh"
• Later, Architects popularize the Blegh and the rest is history

It's a great summary, but there's a big gap in between 1996 and 2009.

In 2001, Nu Metal was all the rage, and some bands who got lumped in with Nu Metal were arguably making hardcore or even metalcore music. In that year, Chimaira released "Sp lit". At exactly 1:31 in the music video, you can very clearly hear a SFTP / Sam Carter style "Blegh!". Here's a link to the line leading into it.

It may not be the oldest blegh, but I think this is a pretty significant bridge from the well known NOFX punk-blegh to the later metalcore-blegh. I know we like to shitpost about the blegh but I genuinely think this is pretty interesting.

Thanks for coming to my BLEGH Talk.

This thread is used to discuss recommendations and all things metalcore.

When asking for a recommendation, leave a detailed comment below asking for recommendations; a good example comment looks like:

If I like Beartooth, who else would I like? Can anyone recommend albums like August Burns Red's Constellations?

In terms of General Discussion, some (but not all) of the stuff you can discuss here:

First, Let me say that I mean that in the most respectful way possible, But his voice is just on another level and I love his voice whether it's screaming or singing. I think Dayseeker is one of those bands that can go heavy or soft and we all will follow. I am truly glad to have him in our community.

Bad omens, spiritbox, and knocked loose have great merch. Who else? Looking to refill my closet.
