BEST METALCORE BAND of the following:[views:56606][posts:187][poll! to vote:click here] to view:click here] ______________________________ [Jul 1,2004 8:36am - Devin ""] If you don't like metalcore, then SHUT UP BIOTCH! |
| ______________________________ [Jul 1,2004 8:58am - moran ""] Killswitch. I've always been a fan, and I haven't been able to put the new one down for some reason. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:01am - Josh_hates_you ""] none of those bands are "metal core" well they are but they seem to be the leaders of the nu metal/metal core takover. these bands are the new mall metal not metal core. imho-All Out War is the best metalcore band. bands like the agony scene, norma jean, sworn enemy, the acacia strain and converge are way more "metalcore" that any of these bands. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:03am - Josh_hates_you ""] blah the new killswitch is lame i heard it and it is ok at best but it is a whole lot of shit that has been done to death way better by way better bands. howard jones should go back to blood has been shed who i fucking love |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:04am - the_reverend ""] if you like bhbs, you should love the new kse... it's like a watered down bhbs with some kse flavor thrown in. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:04am - Joe/NotCommon ""] chimaira is just straight out nu-metal |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:08am - Josh_hates_you ""] the_reverend said:if you like bhbs, you should love the new kse... it's like a watered down bhbs with some kse flavor thrown in. exactly its watered down. and notice i said it has been done to death by better bands. hell i even hear shadows fall/overcast influence on that cd as well and the "artsy melodic" parts are so how do i say simplistic as opposed to something like "to ashes" by shadows fall |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:09am - the_reverend ""] agreed. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:13am - tbone_r ""] it seemed as if killswitch just played background music to howards voice. i like alive or just breathing a lot better |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:35am - Joe/NotCommon ""] i refuse to vote |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:39am - dirteecrayon ""] you should vote! |

| _______________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:42am - xericx ""] and i'm pretty sure that lamb of god is just a metal band... |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:45am - Joe/NotCommon ""] all out war is the gayest, thank god they aren't in this poll |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:47am - Josh_hates_you ""] although all out war and norma jean do not sound alike, both bands have an abundance of metal and hardcore influence. all out war is more "metal" influence and norma jean is more "hardcore" influnced. while norma jean are a bunch of scenester whiny bitches they are metalcore. oh and they actualy play some shit out of 4/4 which is just good fun in my book |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 9:50am - Josh_hates_you ""] i cant even vote for this poll cause it contradicts itself and the fact that i am pushing labels upon music in general is realy gay. if i like it i like it. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 10:47am - The_ExhumeD ""] josh your a fucking tool - you contradict yourself saying labels are gay when you just labeled bands. Personally I dont see why there is always someone who has to put down someone else for liking a band. I fucking listen to everything, Im not so narrow minded the only thing I can listen to is grind and death. |

Its not their best, I like their other two releases better, but for some reason I can't stop listening. Its just too catchy I guess, but definately not lame. And Howard is still doing BHBS. As for the Overcast reference, I guess thats what happens when the bassist from Overcast writes most of the music for KSE. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 11:18am - Josh_hates_you ""] The_ExhumeD said:josh your a fucking tool - you contradict yourself saying labels are gay when you just labeled bands. notice i said labeling things is gay after i labeled things........meaning looking back i should not have been caught up in the label fest which is something i TRY not to do. and if you are gonna label something you might as well do it right. but honestly people who listen to music because of what genre, label or scene it falls into as opposed to genuinely just liking whatever you hear for what it is is retarded. and moran i am aware that bass player from kse and overcast are the same and i know jones is still in bhbs but i mean full time so i can see them more while kse is on tour |

Well, I understand what you're getting at, but as far as genres go, I think that is a pretty reasonable way to determine whether or not to listen to a band. For instance: Let's say I don't like death metal (this is completely hypothetical). My friends are telling me about this band called Cryptopsy and when I ask what kind of music they are, they say "death metal". Well, I'm not into death metal, so I'm probably not going to shell out 16 bucks for None So Vile, right? I wouldn't not get the album because it's death metal; I would not get it because I probably won't like it. See what I'm saying? That being said, I rather enjoy None So Vile and death metal in general. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 11:38am - shatteredliz ""] I really like Lamb of God. I don't care what you call them! And I am so payched that they're on Sony now so I get to promote their new album. I want to put together a pre-release listening party possibly with some local bands when the new album is released. Stay tuned... |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 11:49am - Josh_hates_you ""] but retzam there are people that like metal and will buy that same cryptopsy album just cause it is the metal thing to do not cause they realy enjoy the band. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 11:51am - Josh_hates_you ""] oh and this is also why throwdown, 18 visions and terror have fans! shitty bands that get places cause kids into musical politics say that they hang out with the right crews |
| _________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 12:31pm - Soloman ""] I like lamb of god the most on this list. Ascendency is a better metalcore band than all of these though. I can't wait until they blow up and take all of these underserving bands out of the picture. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 1,2004 2:00pm - retzam ""] Oh, I see what you mean Josh. I didn't realize that you were talking more about people who listen to things based on those reasons, not people who don't. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 1,2004 2:11pm - attendmyrequiem ""] When i think of metalcore I don't really think of the bands mentioned above. None of them really have hardcore riffs. When I think of metalcore I think of bands that actually use hardcore riffs in their songs, not bands who play metal but happen to be hardcore kids. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 12,2004 10:26am - anonymous ""] yeah these bands defiantely are not metalcore. why dont you go over to www.hxcboards.com and find out what real metalcore is |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 12,2004 10:27am - Triumphant_Gleam ""] real metalcore is Rorschach |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 12,2004 11:02am - thornnvine ""] Rorschach ruled, but when i was listening to them and bands of the sort 10 plus years ago, I don't think I ever heard the term metalcore. whatever....labeling everything kind of sucks. |

I hear that, but its the closest thing to what "metalcore" bands are doing today |
| _________________________________ [Sep 12,2004 11:15am - retzam ""] Well, Lamb Of God is my favorite from all of those, and I just recently got into them. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 12,2004 1:40pm - Robdeadskin nli ""] lamb of god is sick...they are just plain metal...they should not be on this list. They are a great band. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 12,2004 1:41pm - Kalopsia ""] i like the new Killswitch |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 12,2004 1:52pm - Jellyfish ""] i voted for shadows fall, because none of the other bands have put out an album as good as somber eyes. not even close. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 13,2004 12:10am - hybrid ""] i dont like any of those, and i would agree when saying i wouldnt call them "metalcore", i think those are just "metal" i guess... i dont know, genres get confusing, whenever i hear shadows fall i think of them as the new metallica, and with the other bands in that poll i just see them as newer versions of metallica's touring companions and associated bands... they're just the new wave of "cutting edge" metal.... they all have talent but none of them are my bag. does anyone else think of metallica when they hear shadows fall? |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 13,2004 12:21am - Jellyfish ""] the new shadows fall yeah kind of. Not the older stuff. ANd all these bands are definetly metalcore. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 13,2004 12:26am - hybrid ""] if those are metalcore then i need to stop telling people i listen to metalcore. haha. |

I hear Pantera in the guitars bums me out |
| _______________________________ [Sep 15,2004 6:42pm - Devin ""] I might add that I know full well that none of these bands are metalcore. That's because metalcore isn't even a real genre. But these are (as far as I know) the most popular of all the bands that get categorized as such. And I just wondered which one people thought was the best. I'm happy, because my favorite got the most votes. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 15,2004 9:12pm - sadist_nation ""] Im going to half to agree with this devin fellow, none of these bands are metalcore. I think that if you were going to put up some bands, you could use Heaven Shall burn, caliban, misery signals, bury your dead, nikola tesla... just to name a few. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 29,2006 8:03pm - anonymous ""] killswitch engage are the fucking best |
| __________________________________ [Mar 29,2006 8:25pm - mOe nli ""] ... |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 29,2006 8:25pm - sacreligion ""] lamb of god isn't metalcore at all! |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 30,2006 7:12am - BlackoutRick ""] Unearth, All That Remains, Killswitch, and Acacia Strain- All from Mass. and all are kick ass metalcore. But those are the only metalcore I'll listen to. Death to As I Lay Dying!!! |
