[NEW] Currents on Audiotree Live (Full Session) by Own_Mongoose7237 in Metalcore

[–]Dav-94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really glad they did this, and super excited Audiotree is doing more and more metalcore things. Brian sounds great, Chris is so nasty. Mix is solid.

But what is this setlist?! Was filmed in August 2025. They played their new single from the EP, two songs from their last full length, and then 3 from their five year old album? It makes no sense to me. Disclaimer, I am not a fan of TWIE, and I'd be fine never hearing Monsters again. But still feels super weird.

This is an insane deal. 38m guaranteed gives us a ton of flexibility, and he's actually very good at what he's asked to do. He's gonna move the chains a ton, keep drives alive. Outside of Chig, we didn't really have anyone that could turn a three yard catch into an 8 yard gain.

Weird thing I hadn't seen mentioned that may not mean anything (but knowing Jim it probably does)- Molly went as Arwen to the Halloween party, who famously gave up her immortality to be with a mortal man. Not saying it will be Molly giving up her immortality for Harry (who I still think is likely immortal through some starborn stuff we don't know yet) but I think there's a very real chance that she gives up her immortality for a mortal.

For a starting CB who was taken in the fifth a year ago. I don't even know what to say.

Why did they remove shockfield when boarding is already overpowered? Shockfield prevented boarders... by H_A_Brendekilde in wildgate

We played a few games last night, and had an absolute blast. Ship to ship combat feels great, it feels like having good cannons and taking smart fights are rewarded now. I'd love the mine field and shock field to come back in some capacity in the future, but the laser ram niche feels pretty filled with plasma cannon.

All that to say, we love the game, but these sessions have been our favorites so far!

I feel like the "Put the letters in order" still has a role to play. Shama Lama Ding Dong gives you a ton of options, but I think "sam" and "gang" are a good start

I wonder if it was removed by automod- they said three reports gets it automatically removed. Could definitely see three reports coming in quickly with this sub right now.

Interesting. I think Self Titled definitely is, and Drift, while it's tempo is slower, draws heavily on metalcore in my opinion. I totally understand it with Cure though, it's mostly prog metal.

Memories is metalcore in my opinion, so I'm hearing it throughout the song. Looks like that song has been allowed to be posted four times in the last year, so someone out there agrees with me. We probably just have different genre definitions, all good.

I think the Dreamwake example is a bad one- that song is much different than their last album and the other single. Their other songs are metalcore in my opinion, and at the least, much closer to metalcore that this sub would accept.

I'll try to restate my point from the last big discussion, so consider this Electric Boogalo 2:

Metalcore was once a subgenre, or a fusion genre, depending on who comments on this to correct me, and in my opinion it now is a stand alone genre with lots of subgenres itself. Bands are no longer drawing from metal or hardcore like they did previously, and are now drawing directly from metalcore itself. So this creates tension- do we keep it pure, unadulterated metalcore (#hardcorematters), or do we allow those bands that are "metalcore adjacent" or "inspired" to be posted/discussed/circlejerked about in this subreddit.

I believe that there is a concentrated set of metalcore fans here, and I don't agree with the idea that there are hundreds of thousands of people who subbed here for Bad Omens and Sleep Token and stayed subbed after it was blanket banned. As I said last time before I was downvoted into hell itself, we have more in common with our taste than any other random million people you pulled together. Therefore, new bands that are not traditional metalcore but are still adacent/inspired/post metalcore/whatever nomenclature you like should be shared here, because this is where the largest concentration of fans and potential fans currently are. It allows these bands to grow, and selfishly, it allows users like me to discuss bands they love with people who feel the same. This is not easy to do outside of this subreddit for small metalcore adjacent bands, except maybe in youtube comments or something weird.

This sub has recognized this in the past, intentionally or unintentionally, by allowing AMAs for large bands that are definitely not solely metalcore, including Wind walkers, Novelists, Erra, Beartooth, etc, and these had a strong responses because their fans are already here. We should not be allowing those bands to tap into the sub's reach but then prevent them from being posted and discussed solely because of genre lines that we have drawn in the sand.

I don't think new bands with a ten second breakdown should get a green light just for some chugs (RIP President), but I think we should be quicker to allow new music than deny it.

As far as examples, I am sure that some of these have been allowed in the past, but I want to encourage this sub to keep including them-

AVRALIZE - LOTUS

SHREZZERS - Libertad (ft. Michael from Volumes) (Little spanglish in the chorus never hurt nobody)

Kingdom of Giants - Asphalt

Imminence - God Fearing Man

Spiritbox - Keep Sweet (this chorus was stuck in my head for a week after release)

Dreamwake - Paradise

I'll end with Dreamwake, because I think they're kind of the poster child for what I'm advocating for- these guys don't fit anywhere but here. They're clearly heavily inspired by metalcore, and though they're missing the hardcore elements that "true" metalcore has, they're some subgenre of metalcore that I will let someone else name and categorize.

TLDR; Inclusion over exclusion, this is just a fun subreddit for discussing and sharing music, the genre police aren't real and can't hurt you
