This band has been pigeonholed as sympho-metalcore but even that ain’t right, ya’ll. Let me tell you why. There’s really nothing resembling a quintessential metalcore breakdown on many songs, including this new one which they just premiered a few days … Read the rest of this entry →
Free Comp! Core In China
I know the saying the word “core” among some more conservative metalheads is much like saying bomb in an airport. Most people will immediately clear the air and the few that are left will have some choice words for you. … Read the rest of this entry →

God Forbid God Forbid Go Djent!

New Born of Osiris Video Reminds That There Is Hope For Progy Djenty Metalcore

Two Things: Neat Skyrim Theme Cover and Darkest Hour Bashing Parisians Over The Head
So Skyrim is supposed to the most epic fantasy game of all time and in concept is pretty damn metal. Still, it’s the geeky fantasy/folk/power metal variety whereas I identify more with the beer drinking, good-for-nothing thrash/black variety. Not that … Read the rest of this entry →

Fury From the Far East: Chinese Folk Metal & Metalcore

Darkest Hour Video Is The Cat’s Meow
