Respect what I am about to say, I am just expressing my humble opinion. I believe that this is one of the worst genres in Metal HISTORY!!! The whole Hip-Hop influence wants me to freaking throw up my

Re: Anti Nu-Metal I'm much more anti 9th generation Darkthrone/Burzum/Blasphemy clones, the black/death scene is plagued by shitty third world bedroom bm acts, boring two chord war metal bands, and p

I listen to a little bit of everything including some nu-metal. And no, i dont care what anyone thinks about it. When it comes to metal in general there are some good bands and some bad ones, just dep

Oh' date=' and if you dig Atreyu, you really owe it to yourself to check out 36 Crazyfists. They basically do what Atreyu but way better. Heavier, much stronger vocals, better hooks, just generally superior songs. Their quality never really went downhill either. Fantastic band- one of my favourites! :D[/quote'] I have listened to 36 Crazyfists, but don't know a whole lot by them. Slit Wrist Theory is great. I've only heard that, and We Gave It Hell. I haven't listened to Atreyu in a while, but they are one of the only bands of the genre that I listen to. And I just want to clear something up.. I do know the difference between post-hardcore and metalcore :) ~just saying, I just don't want to be put out to look like a noob :D I did actually label Norma Jean, Suicide Silence, and Atreyu as Metalcore and not as Post-Hardcore. I do know quite a bit of post-hardcore and metalcore bands, but only listed what i listen to regularly. I used to be really into it. I also know what post-hardcore started out as, and I have listened to Fugazi and At the Drive-In, you can really tell that their origins are from Punk. They don't sound anything at all like the 'post-hardcore' that is out now, but that doesn't mean they are good, either. Just my opinion, you are allowed to disagree.

Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. I guess it's because they were listed with Atreyu and Norma Jean, who I think can be described as post-hardcore, at least to some extent. But yeah, you're right. They're metalcore as well. :) Fugazi pretty much sound like punk to me. ATDI do as well, but the more expressive or 'yelpy' vocal style, as well as the riffs, is what puts them more obviously in the post-hardcore realm to me. Have you heard Glassjaw? They sound a lot less punky and a lot more distinctly post-hardcore, with some of the earliest proper screamo vocals, so you may like them even if you don't like Fugazi or ATDI (I can't imagine that, but different strokes for different folks, I guess). As I say, letlive. are also great. And 36CF are awesome. Snow Capped Romance and Rest Inside The Flames are my favourites. Every song is just hugely anthemic! :D

Re: Nu Metal (Yes/no)

I actually really like Suicide Silence. Their first album is fun and brutal' date=' but not what I'd call post-hardcore, really. Check out the bands I've mentioned for a better representation if the genre.[/quote'] I saw them live on the first Summer Slaughter Tour. Hated them. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
