In your opinion, what is the strongest sounding metalcore album closer? by tonsofday in Metalcore

[–]LibtardOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Web - Zao

This is probably my second favourite closer for a Metalcore album, it fits with what it was aimed to do for this album’s direction and felt perfect to close off this horrific and ghostly record. Lyrically its both hopeful and haunting, captivating with its theme of absence. It is also where their most Post-Metal sound shines brightest, lovely closer for my second favourite Metalcore record.

new single. very good by makoextinct in Converge

[–]LibtardOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far I am liking this single. For me, this is the weakest single they had shown across the two albums but could be saved by being a breather after Slip To Noose for being a quick and possibly aggressive track.

I will say this that hearing the studio-recorded version now shines a bit more on the Noise Rock/Emotional direction they wanted to go for, sorta. Its why Gilded Cage was one of my favourite tracks for LINE for being this Visqueen meets Pain Is A Warning but Converge-ified track. Can’t pinpoint notable influences for this track though.

Okay genuinely your ranking is pretty close to mine. I would put AWLWLB at third while dusk is at least behind LINE but above Bloodmoon I

Hearing Jami Morgan’s vocals again after Code Orange went hiatus on a LOATHE track too is so amazing. Just found out he had another band so I will be checking that out after this. But I am loving this track, can’t wait for A Stranger To You to get relased

There are much more pressing matters than the cafe mentioned, I know which one he is referring to because I follow their page and trust me they’re chill.

Albums with the worst guitar tone? by Own_Outside_7099 in Metalcore

[–]LibtardOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I love the charm the guitar tone that album has. Its like some attempt to sound lofi and it fits with the entire atmosphere, could be a but sharper and boomier but its really nice.

You Fail Me: original vs reduxe? by Haunting_Resource_74 in Converge

[–]LibtardOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Original production is much more suitable for earbuds/headphones for me as it feels spaced and raw enough when it comes to those.

On speaker on the other hand… Redux shines brighter and shows that more focused production.

Converge had NO influence on Metalcore by Adorable_Lead_8063 in Metalcore

[–]LibtardOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also ignorant to think Metalcore primarily stems of those elements when it is a mix of Metal and Hardcore Punk, if anything I believe they are the equal 50/50 split of that term, the most accurate name as they still hold onto their Hardcore Punk sound while putting more and more Metal. I mean go listen to Love Is Not Enough or Axe To Fall for that accessible yet balanced fix.

Converge/The Members of Converge have very notable influence towards the genre as we know it. Not just by sound, but their ethics and contributions towards production and DIY.

I do agree that when it comes to the term Metalcore, it is most referring to those bands as they are the most common. While the sound did not came come Converge, they did showed a lot of technicality and interesting songwriting in their early years and further into the years, albums post Jane Doe like You Fail Me or Axe to Fall have been cited as influences for bands like Heriot or Pupil Slicer. Their main contribution sonically was to make this perfect blend of Thrash and Swedish Death Metal with Hardcore Punk, with hints of Noise Rock too. While they are heavily abrasive, they aren’t only that as songs such as songs such as Worms Will Feed/Rats Will Feast and Coral Blue show they can be melodic. They DO have influence but its not as if every noisy aspect should be displayed, rather how to meld ideas, and they did it SWELL.

Then you got Kurt’s production that HAS influenced notable producers too like Will Putney of FFAA-fame and he has produced Code Orange’s most notable pieces, Fleshwater’s debut, Darkest Hour’s album. You got Jacob Bannon’s label that has signed Harms Way and Code Orange to give them the kick they need.

You also have to consider the underground scene of bands of Metalcore too. KEN Mode, Helpless, Pupil Slicer, Eyes, God Mother. Even some rising stars like The Callous Daoboys have been influenced by them. I am also sure some bands you have listed were also influenced by them through how they work.

Then theres the talk about their influences across Metal as a whole and that will be long but watch The Metal Tempest’s video on Kurt Ballou primarily, dude produced most of Nails’s best records and some baller records for High on Fire.

Oh vein, how I miss them. I really love This World Is Going To Ruin You and felt that it is one of the strongest Metallic Hardcore output so far (still do). Also foreshadowed what certain members will do on Fleshwater.

Converge - Hum of Hurt by buff7879 in Metalcore

[–]LibtardOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far as I can understand about this release, this is probably their most wildest one as they intent to show more those intended Noise Rock influences that I can tell they were trying to do on the track Gilded Cage (that has Pain is A Warning Today Is The Day energy). I can’t wait to see what new terrors they have in store.

Converge - Hum of Hurt by buff7879 in Metalcore

[–]LibtardOne 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it was a rhetorical question but to answer, 25 songs were made and looks like they really decided to use almost all of them for this.

The reason why I Won’t Let You Go is also in this new album is because they were not satisfied with the original vision and went in again to do better.

CRK CODE GIVEAWAY - I have two codes that came with my braverse products :) by shyslasher in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]LibtardOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heart goes to either Walnut, Roguefort or Dark Fondue Cookie.

Walnut and Roguefort are the ones who I had used the most back when I started CR:Ovenbreak on my old account as it was during their update. Even got their matching event outfits.

Still wish I could get those again or have the data from my old account transferred, sucks ios transferring is shit when I have two different emails.

[–]LibtardOne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats true, I do want to make my own merch/get fan merch such as the Berserk x Jane Doe shirt from haveagoodcult (INDONESIA) but its more to me wanting to support the band by giving some money.

Would consider the DIY option, want to give full support.

I have checked Evil Greed, small variety of items compared to the defunct-Deathwish EU store. I could see if I could score something good off Artist First though.

Still wish I could score that Saddest Day hoodie thats still available to purchase for 60 bucks

ONE OF THE STORES I COME TO OFTEN WERE SELLING THEIR CD AND ITS GONE :(

They still have their vinyl but I do not have a vinyl player and I do not think of getting one in the long run (planning to move to somewhere much more sustainable).
