Converge - Thaw

In the want, the need, and this desperation
You'll find me as the time-bomb
As the last great stand in this history
When all our roads have been travelled
And all have come to a most bitter end
Today I thaw

@skatepunkoi "screamo" isn't even a genre, though. emo is a genre. orchid, pg.99, and saetia are all emo bands. people say the term screamo differentiates between first wave (rites, indian summer, navio forge) and those bands. but orchid are as much of a powerviolence band as they are an emo band, and saetia are almost indie-emo, so screamo doesn't work as a catch-all there either. besides, screamo is the stupidest word ever. just look at it. "SCREAMO."

@Xaxaar Dude, right? I almost break down listening to this.

@obsidiandeatheater Emo (emotive hardcore) was created in 80's by bands like Embrace and back then there was no "emo fashion". Their clothes were just normal. In late 90's screamo was created and still is a part of hardcore scene. What you're talking about are those shiny pink pussies who came out of nowhere and started calling themselves emo in MTV shows.

@obsidiandeatheater I like punk music but this song is fun... it's like the Bad Brains of grindcore-ish stuff.

[obsidiandeatheater]

@paurmaas No one cares about your explanation or how much you think you know about music... As for your reference "Orchid, pg. 99"; what makes them the authority on musical classification? I, for one, don't believe that Emo is a genre of music. You may, but it was a style of life and dress far before the musical scene came about. I'm not Emo but I know that they were around far before they created their own shitty attempt at a sub-genre of metal/pop-punk fusion.

This album has such great potential and ambitions.

You might want to bang your head against the wall, when you find that you wasted your time discussing the genrer of this band, instead of listening to their beautiful work

@SaturnineXTS HELL YEAh! Botch "we are the Romans" is hands down one of the best albums ever created.

Also "Poison the well - opposite of December" not sure if mathcore but it's really similar to Botch and converge.

The ending of this song and Jane Doe just destroy me.
