Best local bands, various genres?[views:13818][posts:86]______________________________________ [Jul 12,2005 3:15am - Armagetiton ""] I'm not looking for a bunch of insults and feud, just your opinions. Back them up if possible. Please, only one for each category. Just curious if there is something I haven't heard yet...I just discovered a few new bands that I liked in Abaroth and Conifer, and you guys know more about the 'scene' out there than I.

| _____________________________________ [Jul 12,2005 10:10am - RichHorror ""] I'd just like to say that Watchmaker would be pretty bummed that you thought they were metalcore. Or they'd hit you with a big fuckin' saw. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2005 10:20am - Lucifucked ""] Watchmaker contain elements of both metal and hardcore, and grind. I've read the singer talking about how he enjoys thrash and oldschool hardcore among other things. I meant no insult to the band, 'metalcore' is not such a dirty word for me. If they want to saw me up for voting for them, then do so with my blessings. To my ears, Hekseri is crossover black/death metal, with some clear Morbid Angel influence. I wanted to put CNV for black metal so I put Hekseri for death metal. If I'm not mistaken it even says this on their website: "Our unholy alliance formed in March 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts. Since that time we have been writing and recording a torture session's worth of sickening, merciless, and unholy black/death/battle metal anthems." There it is. This poster didn't ask for best unholy black/death/battle metal band, so I signed them for death metal. Whoop dee doo. At least I actually voted instead of just trolling! |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 12,2005 10:20am - SUBJUGATE ""] why not just post a thread called plug your band here, insted of one of these gay who's the best threads that has been done a zillion times already |

Sure, we have ELEMENTS of death metal, but we also have elements of grind and doom and I wouldn't classify us as that either. |

Fuck metalcore. Best Swedish clone: Abba Best math metal: I hate this also. Best experimental: White Mice Best industrial metal: None come to mind. Best grind: Dissector [Only because I already put KA as best thrash] Best goth metal: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE~! Best drone/doom: Conifer Best stoner rock: The Cringe |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2005 10:35am - Lucifucked ""] Well, thanks for considering us the best metal something! And quoting our website, haha No problem, again I answered honestly. I'm sorry there wasn't an exact genre fit for your band. I just heard enough death metal in there that I enjoy, moreso than other local death metal bands even if they are more 'pure' in that style. why not just post a thread called plug your band here, insted of one of these gay who's the best threads that has been done a zillion times already Why not just answer this kid's post honestly instead of trolling? Perhaps he/she didn't see another similar thread, and he has every right to post his own. Also, what the fuck are you talking about? I'm not in any of the bands I voted for. I'm not in any bands period. It doesn't look like any of you are even going to answer the poll, so I doubt you'll plug your own bands! You have plenty of other threads where you already do that. |

You should go to some gay black metal board where everyone takes music seriously. You called Watchmaker a metalcore band and I'M the jackass? Fuck off. You've still posted nothing of any relevance to the original poster. Regardless of what this board is 'known for', this poster still asked a serious and legitimate question. Your inability to answer that question and then condescend to the poster is proof that you are a troll, because you could have simply skipped this post and not posted at all if you didn't like it. Maybe some people don't just communicate here for the sole purpose of causing trouble from the safety of a computer desk, or to act like 5 year olds. Yes, I think Watchmaker contains elements of both hardCORE and grindCORE, as well as black death and thrash METAL. So I chose them as my METAL-CORE choice. Whoop dee doo! Send your lawsuit through the mail please...the term has been around a lot longer than to describe Unearth and Shadows Fall, it was once used to describe Agnostic Front or D.R.I. just like 'crossover'. I'm not going anywhere, I could care less what you think about black metal since your opinion is obviously hollow and uninformed, and I'm certainly not intimidated by a troll puke with nothing of any relevance to say. |

You have proven you have no sense of humor (even if you didn't think it was funny, you didn't even grasp that it was an attempt at humor) 99% of people that post here know each other in real life. We joke around and goof on shit constantly. That you think I'm a troll proves you are definately on the wrong board. The orig poster asked for no insults and feuds, wrong wrong board for that. Why that is so hard for you to understand I have no idea. You're just another dumbass I guess. btw, trolls dont usually post under their real names and book shows for bands that post here. You come off as a total jackass, a stranger acting like Mr knowitall in front of people who all know each other. Again, fuck off. Come back when you have a clue. |

I will not make that mistake again. I was hoping people who didn't like the thread would just kind of 'zone' it out, but I guess I'm just going to focus on the lists people post and zone out the rest of the posts myself, it is probably easier that way. Then again, the Josh/Lucifucked feud is highly entertaining. I hope they continue... I'm going to give Josh the win over Watchmaker, they would have fit better in either death/grind/black probably, they might listen to old hardcore but they certainly don't play it. But Lucifucked is correct that the term 'metalcore' has existed for some time now, but was really only popularized with this new wave of bands in the past few years. I heard many people refer to Agnostic Front and DRI as that back in the day, and I was there. I even remember in highschool someone referring to my first ever band as 'metalcore'. That was 1990-91. But, by all means, flame on! |

| ______________________________________________ [Jul 12,2005 12:10pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] That's probably a better idea, Dissector. You are right. If I had made the orig post with my sign-in name, I would edit it. Besides, a few of those 'genres' have very thin representation around here. I will check out 'It Will End In Pure Horror', thanks. I've heard the others. |

I like it. Can I still email for a free demo? I'll give it a whack. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2005 1:09pm - TheSweeping ""] I honestly don't see why signing up for an account gives you any more cred than posting anonymously (providing you use a name and remain consistent). You could just as easily troll or lie with an account, and you are not required to provide the public with your contact info, right? Some of us prefer the anonymity to avoid interpersonal bullshit, and the good Reverend has given us that option. Kudos to him I say. This post could be productive if it's given legitimacy, I'm sorry it hasn't been. But enough crap, my choices for your poll are clear Scott. Please don't take any of this as an asskissing, I'm just being honest. Also, if a band is not here it doesn't mean I don't like them, just that they haven't impacted me the most for that genre. And everyone thinks differently. Best death metal: Porphyria Best black metal: December Wolves (many runners up, though) Best speed/thrash: Extinction Agenda Best power/heavy metal (do we even have one?): who cares? Best metalcore: who cares? okay, Converge Best Swedish clone: who cares this is not Sweden. Best math metal: The Red Chord is the best, but I still don't like them. Best experimental: Cryostasium Best industrial metal: I don't know of any except Ghidorah. Best grind: Watchmaker (this is where they fit the best, fuck you all) Best goth metal: Spelunkr (if it could be considered this, sorry Scott) Best drone/doom: Ocean and Conifer are both very good. I hate Isis. Best stoner rock: Black Sabbath, we don't need any of the copies. Roadsaw was okay though. Only a few of these bands are active 'live' bands, so this is based on music alone. |
