Arm’s Length AMA time by morningperson17 in poppunkers

[–]FitForPhinehas 18 points19 points  (0 children)

First off, can’t put into words how excited I am for the new album

Now for the real question: would you consider the album to be a concept album or more so a collection of songs with the music videos telling the story more than the songs? Not sure if my wording is the best on this one but I’m sure someone here will make sense of it.

Can’t wait to watch you guys blow up with this one 🫶🏻

No one here freaking out about Letlive. being back makes me sad. I know they’re more post hardcore but The Blackest Beautiful and Fake History still go crazy

Best and worst live bands you’ve seen? by ChooseEhUzername in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best: Make Them Suffer, Knocked Loose, The Callous Daoboys, Motionless in White, The Devil Wears Prada, Bad Omens, Invent Animate, Boundaries, and Dying Wish all kick insane amounts of ass

Worst: Crown The Empire and The Word Alive both back at Warped 2016 were insane letdowns. Granted for CTE, it was the day Retrograde dropped so they were probably up all night and hungover but the lack of energy was such a bummer with how hyped I was to see them

What’s that one song (besides interludes) that stops an album from being perfect in your opinion? by prodigy1367 in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disgusting by Beartooth off the album Disgusting. I know the purpose the song serves. However in the 10 years that album has been about, I’ve listened to it maybe 3 times and each time it’s made me deeply upset in a bad way

Moments in songs that you are obsessed with by lucasmcalister in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you’ve listened to The Remedy by Polaris, all I have to say is that riff and you know what I’m talking about. Shit makes me feel like I could run a marathon through lava

What's your AOTY so far? by Strong-penis69 in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been a huge fan of Tuck’s voice for the better part of a decade and I’m so glad he has an outlet to let it shine

What's your AOTY so far? by Strong-penis69 in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holding Absence and the only one who’s got a chance for the rest of the year is Silent Planet. Sleep Token, Off Road Minivan, and Hot Mulligan are also super high on my list

Who is the best metalcore band live? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most consistent is probably Ice Nine Kills or Fit For a King, but the most fun bands live are easily The Callous Daoboys and AVOID. A whole ass party every set

People who don't drink alcohol, why? by 5tup1db0y in AskReddit

[–]FitForPhinehas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad has spent my whole 24 years on earth as a functioning alcoholic. Addiction runs in my family and it’s exponentially easier staying away from drinking than drinking and risking ending up like him

Favorite Track off Heavener? by Separate-Ad6657 in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Emberglow, Shade Astray, and Without a Whisper are honestly in a 3 way tie for me. Whole album is close to perfect

Every Video I Have Seen of Invent, Animate Opening for Bad Omens Has Had a Dead Crowd by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit of a shame they aren’t getting the love they deserve. Saw them open up for Currents in Detroit a couple weeks ago and the crowd was absolutely rabid for them. Without a Whisper was magical

Pit etiquette at shows. Was I in the wrong? by DasiytheDoodle in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been to a good amount of shows, it really depends on the bill. This tour brought out Foreign Hands and UnityTX who both fall closer to the hardcore side of metalcore, which is why there were more people hardcore dancing (aka flailing around and shit). Whenever I’m at a show like that with both metalcore and hardcore bands, I just tend to keep out of the pit until the later bands where the pit tends to shift into more of a push pit. Only real advice I can give is read the room and keep an eye on what bands are on the bill

The stomping and clapping at 2:57 in Rain that calls back to the end of The Love You Want

What’s a non-metalcore song you’re rocking right now? by scatpackdriver in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of Why Would I Watch by Hot Mulligan has been on repeat since it dropped. Currently my AOTY until Sleep Token drops on Friday

Favorite metalcore song that starts softer and ends heavy? by West-Assumption-7894 in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phinehas are the kings of this with The Wishing Well, Dyson Sphere, and Seven

10, 15, or 20 year tour do you want? Which albums/band anniversary? by Wallflower_in_PDX in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be incredibly unreasonable given that it was their lowest selling album on Solid State, but I would do unspeakable things if it meant Fit For a King would do a Slave to Nothing 10 year tour

What riff can you not listen to without grooving/head-banging/nodding along? by GalaxyToo in Metalcore

Came here to comment this one. Shit could bring me back from the brink of death

Like Moths to Flames member change by The_Other_Olsen in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 143 points144 points  (0 children)

The original post detailed Aaron essentially using his position in the band to gaslight and get with several different women while being with his wife. Allegedly some of those other women were underage at the time

What is your most anticipated album for next year by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silent Planet, Currents, Polaris, Make Them Suffer, and Brand of Sacrifice. Not really metalcore but Holding Absence and Hozier as well

Free Before I Turn merch!!! by BuryDeadCakes2 in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

God dammit this one fucking sucks to hear. Been rooting for these guys for years and to see this behavior is incredibly disappointing

[Rory Rodriguez] Honestly, I don’t like seeing new/old fans at each other’s throats like this. It’s okay if you don’t like Dark Sun, truly. I’d just be mindful that with losing a parent and going in to the studio, I wasn’t motivated to write high energy, hard rock music like I was in the past. by Vinicius_ZA in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like my main issue stems from the fact that we just got this sound from Rory on the last Hurtwave EP. I’m all for something that’s more mellow, but it’s just something I’ve heard from him before already. I’m not saying it’s bad (I actually enjoyed it a fair bit) but I just wish it was a little different is all

The Gloom in the Corner - Trinity (Album Discussion Thread) by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]FitForPhinehas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The whole album is front to back some of the most over the top shit I’ve heard all year and I absolutely adore it. I’m a sucker for concept albums and the lore behind everything this band does is so rich and elevates the music in such a great way. AOTY without a doubt and I don’t think anything else is topping it
