does ANYBODY like hardcore here?

[MTRLevolution]

please god somebody say yes. sxsven? you maybe my only hope.

[Ryu_1586]

Like hardcore heavy metal music? Yes, I do. I love it. I listen to anyone from Hatebreed to Coal Chamber, to Slipknot, and beyond. Currently my fav. heavy metal band is Spineshank...or sometimes Seether.

[MTRLevolution]

i'm not a huge metal man really. hardcore is a tad different. hatebreed rocks my ass though, they're great.

I think he means Hardcore trance.

No, I'm not a fan of Hardcore. But I do like trance.

[MTRLevolution]

oh ok, anything hardcore isn't good in my opinion, it takes things too far.

[sxesven]

Yeah baby, yeah. I love hardcore. And a variety of bands, too. Among my favorites are Envy, Madball, Better Than A Thousand, This Day Forward, Run Devil Run, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Minor Threat, Within Blood, Malkovich, etcetera. Brilliant. Love it. And the 'sub'-genre called emo, too. Thursday, Thrice, Waking Kills The Dream, Embrace, Mohinder, Rival Schools, Albert React.

Word. What bands do you like?

/edit/

And how could I forget Snapcase? They were my first hardcore-love.

[MTRLevolution]

oh wow, thank you so much sven. i needed some new bands to listen to. my absolute fave is norma jean. but i love unearth, hopesfall (before they turned to crap), underoath, emery, from autumn to ashes, alexisonfire, arch enemy, and a couple you've listed too. as far as screamo goes, thursday is by far my favorite, but i also dig thrice, saosin is badass, dead poetic, things like that.

and hell yeah, snapcase was my first hardcore band too!!

edit: norma jean is from atlanta, ga, where i live, so that makes them really cool. what sucks is that their singer left after the release of only 1 album, and it's an incredible cd. it's called 'bless the martyr and kiss the child', i highly recommend it. the singer's new band, the chariot, releases a cd this tuesday, i must get it.

[sxesven]

I've heard Norma Jean and I must say, it's quite awesome. With the bands you've listed, be sure to try This Day Forward by the way. Really great band.

Saosin's awesome too, stumbled upon some MP3s of them some time ago, and I must say, it sound great, no doubt.

Have you heard Walls Of Jericho by the way? Brilliant band with, get this, a female lead vocalist. Not that you can hear it, she sounds as brutal as the next screamin' guy. On top of that, the music's just top-notch.

Mind, you may not like all those bands I've listed, depends on your taste, really. Do try Envy, they're screamo/hardcore/indie from Japan. Madball's New York hardcore, Better Than A Thousand oldschool straight edge, This Day Forward pretty much modern-day brutal emotional hardcore, Run Devil Run's krishnacore, The Dillinger Escape Plan's technical chaotic stuff, Minor Threat's 80s straight edge hardcore, Within Blood's Australian tough guy hardcore, Malkovich's pretty much indie-like up-tempo hardcore from Holland.

Some MP3s:

Walls Of Jericho - There's no I in **** - forking HARDcore
Envy - A cage it falls into - emoscreamoindiecore, forking brilliant
Albert React - Breathe - thursdaycore
Malkovich - 005 - Dutch indiehardcore
Mohinder - The static cult - stressemocore?
This Day Forward - Sunfalls and watershine - modern day hardcore
Waking Kills The Dream - A depth still deepens - kinda screamo
Yaphett Koto - First meetings agreement - yeah baby

Oh, and don't forget At The Drive-In, Poison The Well and Deadtofall. In any case, enjoy.

[Taishaku]

well, i'm not a big fan of hardcore, but lately thanks to my bf i've been listening to q.ueer punk bands like Fun People and Limp Wrist...

(lol, the word "quee.r" was censored... so i had to pud that dot )

[paper_doll]

I love alexisonfire, they're amazingness.

[MTRLevolution]

thanks for the mp3s and the suggestions, sven. i'll be sure to check probably most of those out. at the drive-in is damn fine. you gotta check out the chariot's new cd when it comes out, norma jean's vocalist is awesome in his new band. and saosin's singer quit a while back, which sucks because he is amazing, but the band has a new guy. haven't heard much of the new stuff, though.

paper_doll, if you like alexisonfire, i'm sure you'll dig a lot of the other stuff sven and i posted. do check out thursday.

edit: and sven, how much envy stuff do you have? i REALLY like the mp3 you posted.

[MTRLevolution]

holy crap, that guy from albert react sounds almost exactly like the dude from thursday. O.O

edit: WHERE DO I FIND ALL THIS STUFF!!!?? looks like i'll be spending a lot of money on cds here in a little bit. i'll never be able to find this stuff for download.

I'll be sure to check The Chariot out, sounds good so far! And Saosin's singer quit? That sucks, I loved that guy's voice. Curious about the new singer.

Indeed, Thursday is damn brilliant!

I knew you'd love Envy, they're forking brilliant! I've fell in love with them ever since I've heard them for the first time as well. Unbelievable; great melodies, great vocalist, and still just powerful, just brilliant. I have a crapload of MP3s by them, just counted them, 65. Not all of them are stylistically similar to this one, since they used to be an old-school hardcore band, but most of it is. I can upload them, or send them through MSN or something, just say so. Their CDs are great, I picked up their album 'All The Footprints You've Ever Left And The Fear Expecting Ahead' a few weeks ago (finally found it) and it's amazing. The track I posted is on it as well. I'm also gonna get 'A Dead Sinking Story' and the split-CD with This Machine Kills and Yaphett Koto, which are both brilliant. You might be able to find them, since they got distributed to the US by Dim Mak.

Yeah, that's a tough one. I got a bunch of MP3s, but sometimes it's just impossible to find anything. For instance, Albert React; I got these two MP3s by them which are awesome, and I got them off their site way back when. That's all I have ever been able to find. I've been trying to find their CD, but I haven't come across it yet. That said, here's the other MP3, Vanilla [deleted].

Indeed! Although I do think Geoff from Thursday sounds a tad better.

[MTRLevolution]

i found a ton of envy mp3s last nite on soulseek, so my envy mp3 count is at 44. i couldn't dl their split with yaphett koto and this machine kills, but i did get a dead sinking story, all the footprints you've ever left and the fear expecting ahead, breathing and dying in this place, from here to eternity, and their split 10" with Iscariote. great GREAT stuff.

can't find any albert react, this sucks. geoff does sound better though. thanks for the mp3s again!

[NEVERwinter]

actually.. i'm more a metalhead than a jpop fan. hehehe....
some of my favourites are: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, Rob Zombie, Fear Factory, and well.. many others

Nice one, I got those too. The song on the TMK/YK split is brilliant, it's called A Far Off-Reason. I uploaded it right here.
