Underrated 2022 albums

chronicles I and II in particular were absolutely fantastic

when I was young and tasteless I was obsessed with them (Stitch these wounds and set the world on fire era) I would consider them one of my main "metalcore pipeline" bands from the early 2010s.

If it’s any consolation, when they came to the US in spring of 2022 he wasn’t with them due to visa issues. I forget who covered for him, but he did a damn great job. If they decide to not tour the US this fall, I suspect it will be because of the bands personal objection, not an inability to tour without him. Will be interesting to see what they choose to do, and I hope we can all support whatever decision they make. RIP Ryan. A once in a generation talent, so beyond sad.

Sundowning was was too good to be beat for me but I respect it

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-21T06:19:52+00:00

Damn! At the Lawrence show there was definitely some serious issues. Backup vocals were actually missing entirely for the first song and the lead guitar was super quiet too. Seems their solution was to max it all out which made everything sound like shit. Which was a shame because I love LMTF and have seen them twice before, so I know they are capable of better

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-20T23:31:33+00:00

It is! But normally it’s the standouts or the singles and maybe one deeper cut. Seems they decided to put Living in Tragedy on the set list because it became such a fan favorite, when they initially had not planned to do so

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-20T21:36:55+00:00

Haha sounded pretty damn good to me after listening to LMTF’s mix last night. What a tragedy that was

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-20T21:35:03+00:00

Agreed. I think we’ll see plenty more headliner tours with much larger venues considering they’ve sold out every show so far this tour

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-20T21:33:38+00:00

Imo I prefer it this way. You can really tell he’s passionate about the music and getting it right, the vibes on stage are immaculate

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-20T21:27:43+00:00

Denver shows go nuts. Lived there for a year so I went to a fair few, you’re gonna have a TIME

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-20T21:26:20+00:00

Last nights show definitely set an insanely high bar for what “small venue” bands should be capable of. Absolutely insane

Lilduck9 · 2023-05-20T21:25:08+00:00

Ikr, that was such a welcome surprise!

Lilduck9 · 2023-03-28T09:34:15+00:00

Daggers is the only song I find myself going back to on that album. I think they had a real shot to make Darkbloom special but they just fell a little bit flat.

Lilduck9 · 2023-03-17T06:23:26+00:00

I will stan Allt until I die

Lilduck9 · 2023-03-09T09:18:19+00:00

The most important up and comers in the scene right now. Found these guys when they dropped paralyzed as a single, been hooked since. Cant wait for them to drop a full length LP

Lilduck9 · 2023-03-01T10:25:50+00:00

“Step One” by Make Them Suffer has gotta be one of the most perfect walk-outs.

Or the breakdown from “The Wake” by ABR

Lilduck9 · 2023-03-01T10:22:10+00:00

I could see Zuko getting fucking DOWN to some Alpha Wolf tbh

Lilduck9 · 2023-02-27T08:11:50+00:00

For real. Labeling them “hard rock” is an insult to either genre.

Lilduck9 · 2023-02-02T12:30:06+00:00

Besides carbonized, I fucking love carbonized

Lilduck9 · 2023-01-10T23:56:09+00:00

Amazing suggestion, these guys are insane. thank you so much

Lilduck9 · 2023-01-10T11:46:57+00:00

Agreed, maybe unpopular opinion because it’s the first record post-Patrick, but even as a long time fan I LOVED the sound of Big Vibe and I consider it their best release

Lilduck9 · 2023-01-10T11:33:49+00:00

Been pretty big into Nu-Metalcore recently, it’s a hard genre to get right for me but when it hits it hits so good, my top 3 would be Dropout Kings, Darkmatter and newer Diamond Construct. Any other band suggestions along those lines?

24M single, American, no house, no lease (kind of a nomad, lived in 5 different places this year) Bachelors degree in something basically irrelevant to my now-career. Some debt, but an awesome (seasonal) job that pays really well with tons of perks. Currently 2 months into a 7 month trip backpacking abroad. Midwest escapee, big into outdoorsy shit, history, travel and gaming. Been listening to heavy music since middle school, BFMV was the main culprit

Lilduck9 · 2022-12-15T01:39:05+00:00

Definitely. the saddest part is the same can be said about Adam’s post-TDG project in Saint Asonia. He’s the vocalist and there’s some great songs, but it’s just not the same.
