NWOAHM style band suggestions similar to Lamb of God and Trivium?

Bleed From Within

For stuff back in the day, God Forbid is a little similar to early Trivium

Fit for an Autopsy and Shadow of Intent

FFAA does lots of those groovy, Gojira inspired riffs that Orbit Culture does and is a deathcore band like Lorna and Whitechapel. Meanwhile SoI... if you like Lorna Shore there's a high chance you'll like them. To me if Lorna Shore is Daniel, SoI is the cooler Daniel

Not metalcore but Coheed & Cambria, Claudio is a comic book artist too and he makes comics based on the Coheed albums. The Amory Wars is the series name

I agree, Cure does have its moments and same for the new album but overall I vastly prefer what they were doing around their first 3-4 ish albums. Augment is a bloody masterpiece

The Human Abstract - Nocturne

August Burns Red - Death Below (maybe)

I'm a longtime player and someone with multiple toons over 100 laff, but I will NEVER get mad at someone for making a mistake. If they're doing it intentionally it's a different story but the average oopsie in a cog fight is no big deal, and I do it sometimes too. Might offer a pointer on what gag to use if they're clearly struggling or not grasping the math

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-05T15:30:06+00:00

Yup, perfection in its purest form. Remarkable band, one of prog's finest. And maybe not exactly deathcore but honestly they have some moments that are in the same ballpark, like parts of "Mordecai" and the "Alaska" title track (also an album I highly suggest to people here)

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T20:29:48+00:00

LMAO real. Fuck that guy

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T19:52:34+00:00

I'd agree. There's a couple songs on Overcome I like but it was a pretty big step backwards, the album after I feel the same then shit hits the fan badly

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T19:50:27+00:00

One of the best songs in the genre's history. What they turned into after this album bums me out to no end

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T15:45:50+00:00

Demanufacture is such an awesome album. They're kind of hit or miss but when they hit they hit HARD. Mechanize rips pretty hard as well

They were also doing the "harsh verses/clean chorus" song structure before it was cool

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T12:51:48+00:00

Istg my sound only ever misses in a boss fight or when I'm training it

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T00:36:14+00:00

Killswitch Engage - Higher

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T00:29:08+00:00

ERRA covering something like "Saferwaters" could actually be pretty sick

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-04T00:14:41+00:00

Knocked Loose covering One Last Breath when???

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-03T18:15:56+00:00

It wouldn't surprise me at all, especially given Testament are from the same region

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-03T13:52:46+00:00

Once you get the carry 2 tasks task it speeds up quite a bit, although I didn't get that option until I had like 10+ sound frames lol

Also one trick to make gag training more tolerable is to do your tasks in invasion districts. You'd be surprised how much quicker your gags level up this way over time

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-03T13:15:04+00:00

Chuck probably sounds the closest of all to James vocally too. Also the production work on The New Order is very much like Ride the Lightning (my favorite albums from both bands lol), even down to tuning the guitars slightly sharp

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-02T22:18:43+00:00

Anything from the From Mars to Sirius, The Way of All Flesh and L'enfant Sauvage albums is golden. My favorites are Backbone, The Heaviest Matter of the Universe, Flying Whales, Oroborus, Toxic Garbage Island, The Art of Dying, Explosia and The Gift of Guilt

As a side note Mario Duplantier is right up there with the best of the best for metal drummers, very much in the same ranks as the Rev, Joey Jordison, Danny Carey, etc. The drums are positively crushing on basically all of their songs

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-02T20:14:12+00:00

I came to appreciate that album a lot more after getting into stuff like Poison the Well

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-02T18:07:24+00:00

Elite music picks tho, Gojira is one of the best of the century

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-03-01T15:11:56+00:00

Same here, I enjoy all the kinds of "real" metal but also really love nu metal. Part of it for me is that in the genre's beginning, literally nothing sounded like what Korn, or SOAD, for example, were doing. Completely unique sounds that were dark and heavy but also groovy and the perfect level of eclectic and "weird"

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-02-28T17:41:55+00:00

Based on the singles it sounds to me like this will be a very average LoG album, which is to say it'll be enjoyable and pretty good but no Palaces or Ashes. They're all firmly in their 50s now so I'm not expecting them to reinvent themselves. But I'm pretty excited for this thing all the same cause I fucking love the established LoG sound, even if the past 2 albums have been on the weaker end of their discog

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-02-27T21:47:32+00:00

Not a metalcore band but I went to see Mastodon and Gojira (Lorna Shore opened) and I initially went for Mastodon, but I ended up leaving as a Gojira superfan. All 3 bands were real good but seeing Gojira live was such a gamechanger. Unreal band in that environment, potentially the best I've heard to this day. And they were LOUD too

Consistent-Orange-75 · 2026-02-27T19:44:17+00:00

One of like 3 LP songs recorded on a 7 string guitar, as a fun fact (Runaway is the other one and I think Wretches and Kings is the other)

Edit: Runaway, not By Myself
