I'm noticing a trend with bands containing the word "Glass"

It is proving interesting that every band I have stumbled across that shares the word "glass" in their name have a discography of bangers.

• Glass Crown is quite possibly my 2nd favorite band (Convalescence is a perfect song imo).

• Glass Hands was the band that got me seriously into metalcore (especially Manic State).

• Glasswaves is a new band it appears that is just banger after banger (I can't stop listening to Downpour).

The data suggests that the word "glass" is a confirmation of pure auditory enjoyment, but i will continue collecting additional sources, so please recommend if there are others.

This day is stacked with Metalcore and I am curious to what yalls schedules would be like attending. I think it's really hard to make a schedule for this year, since it is so stacked.

I’ve always said on here that Finn is a pretentious know-it-all, and always got shit for it

Not a big deal. But it’s sad that he probably did not care for any interviews he did

Malevolence Cardiff

This a long shot but I’m looking for anything I can get on Malevs show from 2017 in Fuel Rock Club, setlist, photos, videos. This was one of those shows I went to where I didn’t know the band and got into them years later Thanks!

Question about the band "Martyr AD"

Does anyone happen to know who illustrated / made the cover for their 2004 release "On Earth as it is in Hell" I know this is probably a longshot considering this album is now 20 years old, but ive always been intrigued by the album cover and would love to see if there's any information about it. Cheers

Early 2010s UK metallic hardcore appreciation post

Not really sure if this is the right subreddit but I really feel like there was like a long forgotten UK scene in the early 2010s that was very important to me growing up

I mean sure you had stuff like While She Sleeps and Bury Tomorrow that are still going today but I never hear people talking about Brotherhood Of The Lake, TRC, Heights, Landscapes, Bastions, Feed The Rhino, Hang The Bastard, Brutality Will Prevail or Last Witness.

I know that there's more I've forgotten over the years. Does anyone else remember this stuff?

string gauge dilemma

I've purchased an Ibanez RG (25.5 scale) around this summer, my first proper guitar with great playability, on which i've been playing all sorts of modern metal / metalcore, mainly Boundaries, Counterparts, Architects, etc. The day i bought it, i restringed it with a 62-13 D'addario string set and dropped it to A. Since this month, i've bought a bunch of Neural DSP plugins, fell in love with them, and the transpose function allows me to essentially pitch shift to any tuning i'd ever need. I was wondering if it would be a good call to restring it with something lighter, say something around the 50-52 range, and time it up to drop D/C, to then just transpose whenever i need to go lower. How does the pitch shifter and string gauges affect tone and playability?

Deleted music

Have you ever downloaded a song/ep/album, which got later deleted from everywhere (or at least major platforms like youtube and spotify) and you still have it? It pisses me off, when something is nowhere to be found, mainly if I find out about the particular song/ep/album, after it got deleted (for example when something is greyed out on spotify - then I know it existed, but it cannot be played anymore 😤)...

Where do you guys find your tour posters?

I’ve been starting to collect tour posters lately (especially older ones), but I struggle to find them unless they’re at the merch table for the band. Where do you usually get yours?
