Music Talk Board

:haha:

Its OK. I've accepted by now that I'm a loner in this regard.

So who is going to post the next song of the day that will blow my mind?

I tried doing research on Crabcore, but all I find is that it's a faux genre label just to make fun of Attack Attack, and I found nothing when I looked up second and third wave crabcore. I'm curious how these waves make sense when Attack Attack is 2008, and Eskimo Callboy is 2010, and that's still first wave, but what Woe is Me is from 2012 and is already third wave. This is all confusing.

Do you like Post-Metal? If not, start to.

The problem is, musically, it's basically deathcore with all the substance (meaning all the death metal influence; because what defines deathcore is death metal influence) with a healthy dose of stereotypical "djent bends". So, fans of Deathcore listen to it and go, "Ugh", the same way they do with "djent". I personally consider myself a casual fan of Deathcore, and I can't stand any of the "crabcore" bands.

It's more a small movement, from what I can tell. And it's not vastly popular in either the hardcore or the metal scenes, which are the two scenes it is aiming to target. It's kind of one of those movements that's already dying, because it never gained much traction in the first place.

The only thing I found was that crabcore is actually called Electronicore where they mix shitty post-hardcore and metalcore with electronic music, and saw those bands Debbie listed under Electronicore. So that might explain where she got the different waves from.

According to wikipedia, electronicore came into being in the early 2000s, whereas Attack! Attack! (who started "crabcore", as you know) have only been active since 2007. So, electronicore was already an established genre. (If we want to pin down Attack! Attack!, Woe Is Me, Eskimo Callboy, etc.; then I would call them eletronicore.)
Granted, I don't think that genre's very popular in the hardcore scene, either. But it clearly has enough of a following to still have bands writing it and fans listening to it. hrug:

Anyway, more Post-Metal, 'cause I'm in the mood:

I recommend Cult of Luna's Vertikal to anyone who likes metal, Post-Metal, Post-Rock, prog rock, prog metal, etc. It's an interesting concept album, based on Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Well it seems like the only new thing Attack Attack did was add the crab stance, everything about their sound predates them.

Pretty much.

I like Cult of Luna. I want to listen to them more but I'm too busy listening to a shitton of Isis.

Sorry, Sam. Not a fan of the band you posted. At least I tried them... The guy is too monotonous for me. It kinda puts me off the sound completely.
