Re: MY FUGGIN" 40th BIRTHDAY
I just call it metalcore...it's more metallic than hardcore, but it's too hardcore to be metal. But a lot of the bands have a lot more elements into their sound than just those two. I think the guys in the bands came up in the hardcore scene when they were my age and younger, and then they got into Swedish metal like At the Gates and Arch Enemy and stuff like that when it was coming out, and put the two together. Labels are silly anyway. Check out Eighteen Visions, specifically the Vanity album, and see if you like Atreyu. It's been a long time since I've been excited about current music like this and I wanna help spread the word, because these bands are the real deal I think...
edit: OH YEAH. There's a band here from Charlotte called Between The Buried and Me that's starting to pick up steam nationally. I don't really like them, but they're like more technical, crazy metalcore stuff, sorta like Dillinger Escape Plan they tell me. You might dig that too. I just think it's cool that they're from the same town as me and they're getting press in Revolver and stuff like that...never happened to a Charlotte band before.
