Im honestly asking, why do you guys like shit like Shadow Of Intent - The Horror Within. it has about 100 upvotes on here

Discussion

Ive listened to it a billion times and I just still cant get into it.. Like let me paint a picture - I go to work and I put on shit like FFAA - hydra... smoke a cigarette go to a meeting. Awesome. Hell even listen to All That Remains - Safe House. I just don't get the hype around this band on here. Go listen to Rex - Possession, or Filth - Tales from the gutter. That's some amazing shit that never gets talked about.

I don't get this.

You are aggravated at the fact that a lot of people like the new Shadow of Intent. Yet no one seems to bat an eye about the fact that Suicide Silence has been posted to death since their latest came out and were posted a ton before even that whole fiasco happened. No one seems to bat an eye at the fact that Thy Art gets posted just as much and when CJ farts into a jar the Thy Art rabble rushes in to sniff it.

Then, listing two downtempo bands(and as you know downtempo is often a redheaded stepchild around here.) that you haven't posted. So post them. Get some damn people talking about them.

No one is talking about them you say? Then start talking about them!!! Holy crap. Post it. You have some good underground shit? Post that shit. Get off the bench. Who cares if 2-3 people upvote it? That's 2-3 people that will probably talk about it and throw it in a playlist.

I get just as aggravated as yourself at so many folks constantly posting a lot of the same stale stuff on here we've heard a million times over. I get just as aggravated at many up and comers getting overlooked. I in no way dislike Thy Art is Murder. Even a few SS songs from the days of yore are good to me(they were never my bag.)

Whore To A Chainsaw.
Unanswered.
The Purest Strain of Hate.
Crewcabanger.
Blasphemian.
The list goes on. Yeah we've all heard these before, hundreds, even thousands of times over.

The more people posting fresh, new, underground, overlooked, never heard of stuff the better. I realize that this is an open forum for any sort of deathcore discussion. However, you can only sit in a room talking about the same bands/songs/albums over and over and over again before it just becomes a complete echo chamber, I realize this.

So maybe try to stop the echoing.

People like what they like, that's just how it is.

Don't dwell on shit too much, focus on what you like

I hear you tho

I didn't like the clean vocals part but I think that Ben's vocals are so good that they really make their songs awesome.

Part of the reason I support them so much is because they're just cool guys to talk to.

Pretty pointless thing to worry yourself about. Music is subjective. I dont understand why everyone likes fit for an autopsy so much, but i dont let it bug me.

I think they are a bit overrated as well. But that doesn't mean that they are bad. Would like to see them live some day to see if they can impress me

I honestly think they are average, nothing really special

You don't like ANYTHING about it in the billions of times you played it?

Their Primordial album is really top notch. It reminds me a lot of A Shadow of One Thousand Suns by Abigail Williams. The Horror Within is just a really really good song. I've never listened to some of the bands you mentioned but I will check them out.

Why do you like FFAA?

And why post about it here? Its metalcore, and average.

I think you're in the wrong forum tbh I don't think deathcore is your thing.

And for the record, I don't rate SOI, but at least it belongs here.

They aren't really pure deathcore anymore though.

They are kind of a mix of death and metalcore IMO

By that logic few bands in this sub are "pure" deathcore.

I meant like they aren't even majorly deathcore at this point sorry if that wasn't clear

They're not deathcore.

Closer to metalcore... Listen, instead of just assuming.

Nothing deathcore about them

Wait.. "Nothing deathcore about them" How so? There is plenty about them that is deathcore, especially in their earlier material. From the vocals across the board, to the breakdowns, to the structure of the song itself. If this isn't considered deathcore, then I must be have my genres confused.

Even this one from just a year ago has the deathcore elements.

Not to mention they get discussed in this sub quite a bit to not be considered deathcore. lol :p

Mainly vocals that really make it not deathcore, no range, standard metalcore vocals, plus the new albums music is hardly deathcore through out heaps of it.

They're basically The Ghost Inside v2.

I've never understood why they're brought up so much on this sub tbh

1

Yeah I understand where you're coming from. Their first album was pretty good, couple great songs but wasn't a masterpiece by any means.

I'm still really excited to hear some more new stuff, but this new song was pretty... Meh. It seemed like 5 minutes of filler that was building up to something, that never really delivered.
