Metalcore, Grindcore, and the like

[Arioch]

I dont know, maybe its just me. But all these subgenres of metal are getting to me. Ive actually tried being open minded and listening to them. Acts like Dillenger Escape Plan and the like. But it all gets old to me.

I mean tremelo picking your way through an entire song isnt hardcore, its monotonous.:rolleyes: And im all for a good hardcore scream to enhance a song (i.e. Phill from Pantera), but doing it on EVERY song on EVERY lyric just gets old and tired.

I enjoy death/black metal 100x more than these new subgenres of so called "Hardcore". It just doesnt do anything for me at ALL. Any other opinions?

It's dumb. Most of the time the name sounds really fucking stupid (Splattercore?! Horrorcore?!), and the band usually sucks ass anyways, so they usually try to cover it by saying that the people who don't like it "Can't handle it" or "Don't get/understand it".

Agreed. These people cant just make music and let their own band define it, they have to make up stupid little genres to cover the fact that the music is tired and uninspired. Im overgeneralizing, but not THAT much.

does your band have a web site?

[Arioch]

Well our old Band does, but its a pretty weak site and that band is no longer together. Ill give you the link tho so you can check it out.

Im in the process of buying Longinus.com or Longinus.net, and getting a REAL site going, but i gotta come up with a bit more cash first. Ill put you on our mailing list so you can be updated when the new songs come out though.

Heres a link to the old site, theres not much there but you can get some lyrics and pics of some live shows.

Ya i was thinkin about that, but i really hate all the adds you gotta deal with when using the free sites like that. Plus you usually have to get a pretty shitty URL. I figure its probably gonna be worth the money to have one like Longinus.com/net/org or the like. But time will tell.
