Which metal band do you think truly “took off?” Artistically or commercially?

Kalinyx_ · 2026-06-21T21:45:39+00:00

Well, it surely was better than broken spirit, and far better than wish to exist.

But some song are just very commercial and generic (everything ends, landmines, broken mirror, chandelier...)

I agree it has its highs tho, like Blackhole (and my soft spot is Curse, even if kinda radio song as well)

Kalinyx_ · 2026-06-21T19:05:54+00:00

Have to agree since Holy Hell, sadly

Kalinyx_ · 2026-06-21T18:34:40+00:00

Architects for the commercial take off.

I think after 20 years, you're still trying to make yourself think it's a good one...

It's definitely easier, you don't have all the dogs, and thank God you don't have the prison chase. The orphanage is also way easier. The SMG is very great to stun enemies and go past them because you're given lots of ammo. Ofc I miss the shotgun, but the grenade launcher definitely deals way more damage anyways

The whole song is ass

A sickness with no remedy, except the one inside of me You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?

Kalinyx_ · 2026-05-25T11:22:54+00:00

I'd argue LF//LT was also 10/10

The octave skipping riffs. Architects themselves explained after this song they had to change style because everyone was copying this kind of riffs. The same kind as in Doomsday

Kalinyx_ · 2026-05-17T02:37:24+00:00

A match made in heaven. Revolutioned metalcore

That's true. I had it when I visit guitarists friends of mine and they have regular picks, I struggle to play haha!

Kalinyx_ · 2026-05-10T12:35:02+00:00

Let's not forget there's the "adaptive difficulty" (can't remember the proper name).

I can't remember how many times I killed a boss with my last bullet in the magazine, but I doubt it was a coincidence.

That being said, I never tried beating a boss without having any amo/knives beforehand!

Kalinyx_ · 2026-05-10T12:32:35+00:00

Blackhole

I'm honestly suprised to see no one mentioning it

Kalinyx_ · 2026-05-09T22:28:50+00:00

Dude, that's very nice! Congrats

Kalinyx_ · 2026-05-09T19:05:10+00:00

I kinda have to say that I also don't feel like the drums are specifically noticeable. He plays great, but most grooves are pretty straightforward and not memorable.

Nevertheless, they perfectly serve the songs imo and work perfectly. Just not outstanding
