Why do fans of obscure metal bands always bitch about what kind of metal it is!? It doesn't really matter as long as you like how it sounds. This is awesome.
@JamesOfDoom They bitch about it because someone bashes it for being or sounding like a genre of music-- usually metal- or deathcore. Some people are actually offended by -core, sonically as well as psychologically, so a bunch of people will get involved in a flame war. This happens in melodeath for one of two reasons:
-Melodeath sometimes ventures into metalcore.
-Some people just don't like melodeath.
I know that your question was rhetorical, but this serves as a cautionary tale for viewers
Try " sylosis " its a very popular band in the UK, but not as popular here in america. they're very good, but only have a few albums (and no im not from the UK im a beaner)
nah i disagree , Killswitch Engage and All That Remains are pretty good metalcore bands, if you dont think that you could really just go and fuck yourself with a razor :)
they are such a good band. Restless In The Tides is a badass album. then they decided to go produce their album without a label and fucked up big time.
DUDE u r my new online best friend i live about 2 hours away from forever in terror best band to come out of ohio period. and scar symmetry is..was.. the best band ever restless in the tides is the best debut album ive ever heard tho
@ProtestTheIndie and it is out already :) and solution .45 is awesome. the old keyboard player from sonata arctica and christiam combined together = pure awesomeness!
and on topic: this band is AWESOME and guys, stp bitching about genres and just enjoy the music :)
imo parkway drive destroys all of those bands live..they just have too much energy ALL the time. no matter the crowds output. all are good.. never really liked unearth tho..my will be done is like Speechcore lol it has no oomph..their instrumentals are getting there but their singer is just..please just...stop
@Wuzzleteets That's because Unearth is mostly influenced by Thrash.I like both PWD and Unearth but Unearth musicians are better.The drummer and the guitarist are on Steroids.
i've had this disc for a while now and it's good to see that people can tell that this band along with Threat Signal, Raunchy, Machinemade God, Skinlab, etc blow all that mallcore crap out of the water. yes i mean bands like bfmv, and as i lay crying.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In a way this band is better then unearth. truth is both bands are much fucking better then alot of the bands that are headers. its just that the fans in the US are cock suckers that like old shit like slayer.
I'm from the U.S. and I don't even care for Unearth, but I love this band and I dont just like old shit like Slayer. I like bands from Australia and Sweden, ect. I'm sure you have atleast 1 band from U.S. that you like, so don't spew shit. =D
Im from the US too, and like pealjetsapple i like some swedish bands and i like parkway drive, from australia. I just found these guys not that long ago (like a few months) and they're one of my favorites.
This kinda reminds me of All That Remains first album which is one of my favorite albums. Here's to hoping Anterior doesn't change like All That Remains did.
i wouldnt really label it melodeath... 4 me melodic thrash is a good word... like unearth's last album was like to heavy to be metalcore, the vocals sound to clean to be melo-DEATH (as in corpsegrinding death), and too melodic to be thrash... same with this age of silence
The musicality is good. the vocals could use a tune up though. not a big fan of screamo, but guitar and drums are pretty good. still think DragonForce is best metal ever though.
Dragonforce are great band, they gut one of best guitar players with sweep + tepp not everyone can do it and if u think or say u can i wish to c it, more doing less talking.
Dragonforce are great but all they songs are sounds the same Anterior gut something speciel at their music, they gut they own style with great guitar shredding and amazing drums such drums u wont find at dragonforce also the melody of the guitars are great
I think the real thing comes down to teh vocals. Screamo is kinda not very popular with everybody. DF has great vocals, guitar, and basically the musicality of everytyhing.
lol nope they arent and its not power dude if u think they power then u suck, go to their myspace they write there that they arent power and at myspace of sonata and nightwish wrote that they are power so stfu <.<
Today I heard this song at the first time and I'm now a fan from Anterior!!!
