i dont know if they had another between isolation in 2008 and this, but im wildly assuming they didnt and im really glad this is out now.

Sentients - How the Sun Will Die EP 2011

because most days im pretty sure im still 16 years old, and trapped in a strange, inverse groundhog-day scenario; METALCORE.

even though i hated metalcore and breakdowns at 16, because i was tr00 and kVlt at all times (also there was some ska in there).

it's no veil of maya, and i dont think misha mansoor or tosin abasi are in it, but whatcanyado. i wish air guitar skills translated.

At The Throne Of Judgement - The Arcanum Order 2007

i miss these fuckers almost as much as light this city. like a veil of maya without the breakdown-reliant structure and a bit thrashier/more hints of NWOBHMery. twin guitar leads, twin vocal styles, fucking inspired songwriting...

it really is super catchy. like veil of maya and light this city, i am completely unable to forget any of the songs, solos, etc. it's retarded. and they are all like 14 years old. or look like it.

they broke up, reunited, wrote a song, wrote parts of an album i guess, then scrapped it all. honorable, at least.

1. Cacophonous (Intro)
2. Sentinel
3. Mariner’s Cutlass
4. Horus Rises
5. Discarnate By Design
6. Four Winds
7. Celestial Scourge
8. Martyrdom; Ruin Of Gaia
9. Tomb Of The Thracians
10. Delphic Star
11. The Captive
12. Outro

Century - Red Giant 2011

I WASNT READY. so it kiiiiind of sounds like black ocean, but breakdownier and all over the fucking place. the metal-sense of melody is still there, it sounds a lot like...super-trenches. really, really fucking breakdowny. with weirder vocals.

if it sounds like im struggling to fully endorse this...i dont know. black ocean was fucking amazing. this is more reminiscent of what happened to ion dissonance. i just dont really get why they slowed and simplified, and thats from an alcoholic who makes drone.

01. Lobotomy
02. Synapse
03. Oak God
04. My Lexicon
05. Dry Bride
06. Painting Leprosy

Faust Again - Hope Against Hope 2006

speaking of 2006. i burned a cd that had this and ichneumonid on it and cam and i went to see v for vendetta because he worked at the movie theater. really catchy polish metalcore, really noodly breakdowns and fluid songs. a lot less boring than a lot of similar stuff in the genre.

After The Burial - In Dreams 2011

nothing special, but i still love the genre. or bits of it. like veil of maya. the beginning of the album is real cool, your troubles... and pendulum bring to mind their first album which they have yet to top. the last song, i sincerely hope is a joke, like anal cunt's cock-rock single of 2010, "fuck yeah".

also i fucking love that "djent" is a genre.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=120184



if you are on the fence about this, just listen to [id] again because it is so, so much fucking better. the last song really sinks the whole album, and an iffy second half doesnt help.

Veil Of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse 2008

the more road trips anywhere i take, the more i fucking love VoM. and i already love them a LOT.

[most recent is here, under stealth mode]

i highly recommend never, ever getting in a car with me driving and playing any of their music. because i memorized it, and need both feet for the kick drums and at least one hand to tap guitar parts, and our adventure will be 50% on the rumble strips in the shoulder and 100% fucking dead because i crashed the car on purpose when the right riff shows up and it's like FUCKING RAAAAAAAGE HOW DO YOU FUCKERS NOT KNOW THIS SONG? TIME TO DIE.

i. love. veil of maya. seeing them headline on my 20th birthday with about 15 tweens total in attendance with brett was iiiiiinsane. this band. so good.

also this album follows the departure of the 2nd guitarist who was on all things set aside. it's tech-death/metalcore, dont you have to replace all your members to function fully live? hell no. they just had one dude play EVERYTHING with a fucking loop pedal. while telling jokes to the drummer and dodging thrown drumsticks. in the middle of a song. phenomenal.

Light This City - Stormchaser 2008

i was really goddamn sad when they quit. this is metalcore, and it is amazing. it defines the genre for me. twin quitar leads, growlz, sparse use of blastbeats, thuper melodic, well-written song structures, and a surprisingly massive number of words per song delivered by this:



which is fucking rad because shes cute and has a voice that is more awesome than a 20lb bag of tits.

Celestine - This Home Will Be Our Grave 2008

icelandic atmo-sludge-core. really amazing riffs and production, they switch back and forth between amazing post rock riffs and choppy off-kilter riffs where they sound like everyone in the band is playing a 5-stringed bass that is way out of tune. highly recommended, and really goddamn hard to find anymore. i hope theyre still a band.

Parkway Drive - Deep Blue

http://rapidshare.com/files/403840747/A2PPD.rar

Parkway's heaviest and chunkiest shit yet! And they ditch the clean vox. But still a little generic. If you like chunky breakdowns this is a skeetfest. Oh yea - it's a concept album.

You can't resist the undertow.

Converge - Jane Doe (2001)

This is one of only 3 albums I consider to be absolutely perfect in every single way. 10/10, I would change nothing about this record. Every detail is executed flawlessly.


run on girl, run on.

Black Elk - Always a Six, Never a Nine 2008

more noodly, less noise, and less sludge than young widows. interesting approach and noice production.

Stealth Mode Again

this wont be up long. all of their albums are absolutely fucking flawless. i cannot recommend veil of maya enough. and theyre just as good live, they just end up opening for terrible bands all the time.
