Metalcore is a good genre, there's a few very good metalcore bands like Killswitch Engage and All That Remains. It's just, a lot of metalcore bands are stupid emofags that only want attention...<br />Anyway, Amon Amarth only ''uses'' the awesome stuff of metalcore, like the melodic riffs, but the way they finish their stuff is just fuckin genius. And that's what makes them, even though they are sometimes ''metalcore-typed'', one of the most straight-forward deathmetal bands.<br />Their music is just so genius, the music is exactly as it should be. With bands like Metallica i'm sometimes like ''the guitars are great, but the drums are so lame..'' but Amon Amarth is perfect (in their own way).<br /><br />People need to quit wanting to label everything as metalcore. These days, the slightest melodic thingy makes a song metalcore...RabinRedefinedhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000076516363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770748162718199230.post-3965042869664606382011-03-02T13:43:29.463-08:002011-03-02T13:43:29.463-08:00No, because I don't think metalcore is a rip-o...No, because I don't think metalcore is a rip-off of Swedish melodeath. Probably inspired metalcore bands, but I think rip-off is saying too much.<br />I don't want to discuss who came first, 'cause metalcore loses, but just wanted to point out that this kind of riff is a more often used in metalcore than in melodeath, therefore relevant to be called "metalcore-typed". [And that's where you say "Yeah, because they're all retards using the same tricks."]<br />Also, I hoped that pointing out similarities would make you ease your judgement on metalcore, because I think it's being judged too harshly due to its "trendy" nature. Though I know there are plenty of generic/annoying metalcore bands out there.<br /><br />(By the way, I say "trendy" because I live in France and here there is no metal to be seen on TV and almost none to be heard on the radio - there must be like 1 national radio playing metal songs, preferably after children sleeping time. So we don't really have trendy metal here.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172596118280063844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770748162718199230.post-8901519726150823862011-03-02T06:07:09.894-08:002011-03-02T06:07:09.894-08:00...
