band members will be there!

Come check it out! Free to attended!

Bummed to have found these guys after they stopped making music.

I first noticed this a while ago with Stutterfly, they've been inactive since the early 00's as far as I know so I was totally shocked when my spotify homepage showed a new release notif from them only for me to instantly see the blatantly AI artwork and an entire album of Suno AI slop.

Making this post now because lately Lovehatehero has been absolutely SLAMMED with these ai slop uploads, I saw some for Picture Me Broken and Shoot the Girl first as well. It's getting to the point where I don't even pay attention to new release notifs because 9/10 are random AI slop from an inactive band lately.

Idk why I'm making this post since there's really not much we can do about it, but it's fucking bullshit that this is allowed and just keep your eye out if you see a new release from an old band, it's probably gonna be AI slop.

at the moment for me its suicide season by bring me the horizon

HEY FRIENDS ITS ME JESSE AND ALEX, ASK US THINGS IF YOU DARE :)

My fav along with icarus

I’m thinking about going to the first US show in Detroit but saw them open for Dying Wish a year or so ago and wasn’t too impressed. Olli seemed more interested in jumping and dancing on the stage than actually giving a good vocal performance and the band itself didn’t sound the best.

I know opening is different than headlining so I’m willing to give them another shot but wanted to hear opinions. Anybody see them lately?

I’m not usually into the more chaotic, hardcore-influenced side of metalcore, but 156/Silence has been hitting lately. From a Distance is top 5 for me.

I normally listen to Landmvrks, Bleed from Within, Sylosis, The Acacia Strain, Spiritbox, Phinehas, Fit for an Autopsy, Malevolence.

I also got into Guilt Trip. I think that may have been influenced from Landmvrks.

Been seeing a resurgence of posts/comments mentioning Himsa - always been a Hail Horror kind of guy, although I cut my teeth on Courting Tragedy and Disaster

How many other people remember this band, or wish they did?

I want to say they had a tour with The Acacia Strain?

Maybe I'm remembering that wrong

This band has blown me away as of late. Need to show them some love.

I’ve been noticing something really strange, where bands that don’t follow the super-specific formula of “modern” Metalcore production/songwriting/aesthetics, are almost immediately thrown into the “old school/2000’s” box. Like even just the tempo/rythm of a new song being fast/upbeat can spark the old school/nostalgia comments these days.

IMO this only hurts the progression of the genre. Not even 10 years ago, you could take the new releases from the top 5-10 metalcore bands at the time, and hear all of the unique distinguishable qualities that gave them identity. Take the top 5-10 metalcore bands today, listen to their new releases and you might actually struggle to find the distinguishable qualities that make them unique and give them identity. I believe this lack of diversity is what’s causing the phenomenon to happen.

Like, we are just so conditioned to attaching specific styles to the “modern” label (I.e. fry vocals/slow breakdowns/high pitch clean vocals/no guitar solos/synths/glitches)…that when we hear something different (I.e. prominent guitars/low-pitch clean vocals/guitar solos) we automatically think wow I haven’t heard this style in a long time. So I get it, that it would be inherently nostalgic.

How is the genre supposed to get out of this? Would love to hear some thoughts and opinions.
