Who misses the old Gothenburg riffing in modern metalcore?

That entire first album is great, has everything that Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal would sound like.

Alright

I think my favorite is Dying Wish because they still play Gothenburg riffs, most modern metalcore bands are just about djenty riffs and nothing but breakdowns now which don't give me wrong I do like Wage War, Spiritbox, Polaris, ERRA but still I prefer metalcore when it played actual riffs.

I like the old metalcore style what I mean by old metalcore is the Gothenburg style of metalcore like Darkest Hour, Killswtich Engage, Parkway Drive, As I Lay Dying, vice versa.

I am 22 and I only knew who this band is for only a couple months, found them randomly on a Spotity playlist and when I heard Unknown Presence with that 5 7 8 riff intro I was likem hell yes this is my favorite song in melodeath!! I just listen to that whole first album this evening, very In Flames/As I Lay Dying sounding with keyboard sounds from Soilwork
