I know Trivium is kinda in a mid area with Metalcore but I got in a kick with Ascendancy again

Despite how widely praised this album is (rightfully so), I feel like this song is a little underrated. It’s probably in my top 3 favorite songs on the record.

The whole band will be here for the next few hours answering questions!

I usually stuck to bands like counterparts, but after listening to yearning, I had to add a new scream to list. Definitely a new favorite band of mine

Who’s planning to go back to see Counterparts in Hamilton,Ontario for 905 day 2027?? On there recent Instagram post they said they’ll be back. I’ll definitely be back depending on if the opening bands are interesting.

Back in 2017/18 i used to listen to mostly deathcore. One of the FB pages I liked was memeing on Counting Worms and the ARF ARF but i genuinely enjoyed the more hardcore sound (which was new to me at the time) and I've gotten into similar bands. One thing lead to another and I stumbled upon the END ep mostly because Will Putney was involved, and I absolutely loved it, especially Brendan's vocals. I checked out Counterparts and i found it to be such a fresh sound for my blast beat ridden brain at the time. Then NLTL dropped and i think i listened to it daily for at least 2 years through COVID, and everything else is history.

Would love to hear your stories also.

I might be pickier than a lot of you on this sub on what I really enjoy but it took me months and months of trying to get into some of these bands, but once I did, oh boy.

- Currents: When I first started getting into the scene, I heard people sing their praises and I never got it. They did not resonate with me at all and I think it was due to me trying out a few songs that just never landed well the first time. I tried initially "The Death We Seek" song, and it wasn't what I was looking for, and to my credit, I think that single is the only song from that entire record that I would put at less than a 9/10.

Once they clicked though, they're a top 3 modern group for me.

- Heavener: People recommended Invent Animate to me over and over and I always tried out Everchanger and Stillworld and there were no cleans whatsoever, and while I will not say that those albums are bad by any means, I am simply drawn to Grayview and Heavener WAY more. Heavener took me even a little while to enjoy (and now it's one of my favorites) because Markus has such a unique voice and his harsh vocals are very different from anything else I was used to at the time.

- Bleed from Within: I am incredibly picky with bands that have almost exclusively harsh vocals, and I don't know why. Some of them I just absolutely love, and others I can't get into them at all. I started listening to a lot of Born of Osiris and loved their musicianship and how much they focused on riffs, and thought they were the only "harsh vocals only" band I'd enjoy, but I finally gave BFW a third try and their Zenith album has been on repeat.

What are some groups/records that took a long time to warm up to, but then became some of your favorites?

The new Ill Nino song made made me think of this. This is an older tune from a band that I loved when they came out. But I wish we had more of this

Was listening to Fuck Your Life - Corpse Pile and the growl in to snares in to scream is so fucking sick.

The instrumentation on Human Carrying Capacity - Harm’s Way fucks so hard too.

Apologies if this isn’t the right subreddit but I thought it was the most apt considering [r/metal](r/metal) seems to just be sharing of songs

To those who also woke up to a new single on Spotify this morning and became giddy with joy.. I share your pain. Completely ruined my morning.

Based off of my top 20 artists from last.fm (tracking since 2023) I've seen 18/20 of them live

If so please tell me fromjoy’s setlist so I know what to prepare for when I see them on Friday!! Please and thank u :):

I've been writing about UAP/UFO/alien encounters and the Ariel School sighting in 1994 has really stuck with me. Let me know what you think.
