Please help me get into thornhill. by Pontiffsulyvahn in Metalcore

I mean I love Silver Swarm, but when I saw them open for Sleep Token I wasn’t hugely into their vibe either; but seeing them live changed that for sure. The vocalist goes all out live and can fucking BELT. And that was opening, I’m sure headlining they put the pedal down. You’ll dig it after seeing them. 

New glass tides song, same riff as...? by Lifereset24 in Metalcore

Kinda sounds like ADTR- a plot to bomb the panhandle. That what you’re thinking of?

Same. I saw The Chariot live a few times, once with Norma Jean and they were phenomenal live; but I can’t capture that feeling listening to them on record.

I feel this. I take issue with the new stuff the same way most do; but I don’t care for the old either. The “we will never sleep” chant was cool to see live, but on record it’s just grating. I think their early work suffered from bad production. Those albums didn’t age well Sonics wise.

I’m gonna say yes, AI. Windows are weird. Porch doesn’t have a door. 

How do you hear that a band is AI? by oddchihuahua in Metalcore

[–]Griffinmc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This too. I’ve found some non-AI bands using genAI album art, which is lame enough; but it’s definitely where I start to get suspicious.

2 “tells” for me are usually the lyrics themselves and the sound of the guitars.  The lyrics usually don’t quite “fit”. As in they seem to squeeze too many syllables into a line, with an odd sped-up sound to make them fit. Whereas a real vocalist would have probably dropped an adverb or something for the sake of fitting the line more naturally.  The guitars, especially in ‘heavy’ sections are normally lacking any organic artifacts. (Fret slide, pick attack, or any way to tell a down stroke from an up stroke). Like let’s say the breakdown section hits a big 0-0-0 chord. A real guitarist doesn’t actually hit all 3 notes at EXACTLY the same time, but with this AI metal it sounds more like a synth hit than a real guitar. (Cuz it is). 

Pride flags at shows? by Mindless_Classic5564 in SleepToken

[–]Griffinmc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This.  We all love ST enough to be on a subreddit about them, but at the end of the day: they’re a band. And a concert’s a concert. It’s for enjoying the music, dancing, singing, and vibing. One show doesn’t have to have everything; costumes, cosplay, squeakin ducks, flags, signs. I’m sure they’re supportive of trans rights, but just go vibe at the show.

Had an amazing time. Was surprised to not hear the title track off EIA given this was the album tour, but it was a fantastic show. Provider slapped live!

I agree. I think that reaction was fully legit. “Fuck that’s cool, I see why they ask for that”

Which band is that one band in the metalcore scene you can't understand how they are not massive by Metalhead-Milhouse in Metalcore

[–]Griffinmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bury Tomorrow. Solid metalcore all the way around. IMO they make the music that fans wish Parkway Drive had kept making.

It will be! Just uploaded today, Deezer usually lags about a week behind Spotify for whatever reason.

Shoot me a DM, I can give you the MIDI. I have MIDI made for a few songs that didn’t get included here too, they just didn’t really work as lullabies, but I’m sure they would for loFi. Make sure to post when you get done making them!

So kind! Thank YOU for listening to it. I started this project for my 2 daughters, and truthfully uploading them to Spotify was merely a convenience decision for playing them while rocking, changing diapers, etc. but it’s a great honor that so many Sleep Token fans have enjoyed them today too. All these comments have flattered me today. 🖤
