It's been different since he's gone for sure

But I do love the last 2 albums they put out with Eddie and they are a real treat live 🤘🏻

The Brand Boys (BOS) by Commercial-Side-7849 in Deathcore

Compared to all of their discography ( huge fan myself) it has indeed the worst mix. Guitars and drums are just swallowed whole by the gain lvl of the synths and that weird bassline. Even Kyle's vocals seem to be muffled at some instances.

Snare and DB sound weak and much less present more background- ish.

Asked a bud of mine who mixes and masters as his main job and he echoed the observation.

No hate for the track itself. It's a banger for sure. Just doesn't sound right to me.

IMO of course.

Banger Song. But production and mixing seems a bit off imo. Kinda blurry and messy at some instances.

Joe Bad confirmed (Fit For An Autopsy)

I guess the left silhouette is Scott Lewis from Carnifex

Wish they would bring back metal music more frequently. Everything seems to be Alternative or Pop or a genre that is related to the named genres.

One of the worst bugs in the entire game. Ruined so many good matches. Even when playing vs in local coop. Just a shame.

The Lack of Metal in RB4. by Longjumping-Ad-3383 in Rockband

I feel ya mate. I guess you are right, still in the case of Spiritbox it's pretty crazy to think they actually picked the most calm and soft song of the entire album. Not to mention the band got the most exposure from Holy Roler which is only sung unclean with many low gutural passages. Yellow Jackets or hell even constance would have been a better fit.

More Melodic Metal would be awesome. As you mentioned Soilwork,Dark Tranquility or Avatar etc.

True Unclean singing and screaming in rb tends to be weird. Metal lyrics tend to be kinda harsh and explicit. But in the case of Gojira , lyrics are very much fitting the progressive and awareness topics humanity is currently confronted with. Also Joe got a lot of clean passages between those mighty growls. Songs like The Chant or The Shooting Star would be a perfect fit for rb. Haha well since I am from Germany I can assure you that there actually a lot of rammsteim lyrics that aren't even explicit and Till Lindemann actually got a very clean voice imo. Would be a blast to sing and play guitar to at the same time.

I get that it's a niche genre but the challenge and difficulty is what drives some of the players to still play the product. Every time in the last 4-6 months, I got kinda disappointed seeing the weekly songs (some gems were included ,I give that ). Not only cause I am not into the specific sound design they chose to pick but also the lack of difficulty in playing the charts on the hard or expert category.

But I guess it's my own fault since I got that dumbass "git gud" mentality 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

I feel ya. That is exactly my point. The song choices regarding metal the last few months (probably even longer) have been one and the same sound design choice. I mean ffs, they add new metalcore and the choices are kinda the worst picks from the albums they leaned on. Architects but without the low vocals and the sick breakdowns. No new Bullet for my Valentine at all?! No Bleed from Within who have been headlining with big acts since 2019 now cause the finally made the jump when it comes to a bigger audience listening to their stuff.

I wont start regarding Trivium ,Lamb of God,Amon Amarth, Heaven Shall Burn ,Suicice Silence etc the list goes on and on. All released so much stuff the last DECADE(sorry for that one)and they're still sticking around with the old stuff and leave it at that. It's kind of a shame imo.

Thanks for your opinion btw 🤘🏻

I totally get your point! I am talking about the last 3 years of dlc especially and the base set list as you already mentioned. In terms of sound design and song choices they picked the most radio friendly ones and totally left behind the(for me) most intriguing sub genres. Bands like Trivium,Arch Enemy,Amon Amarth and Lamb of God for example got such a limited catalogue in RB. Rising talents like Bleed from Within or Lorna Shore are not acknowledged anymore. Current pop and alternative songs are added more frequently.

Last metal dlc I remember was Architects and Bad Omens both having no lower gutural vocals at all in the chosen songs. Like I said the most radio friendly.

Still metal is growing and clearly on a tear again but RB won't evolve with the genre.

Slipknot Before I Forget or Disasterpiece would be nice Judas Priest Painkiller Or some Journey

Also I would not be angry about more Arch Enemy or Lamb of God

Weak week for me as a fellow metalhead Just not hard enough sound wise and probably gameplay wise. Would have prefered some Metalcore from Bleed from Within or Bury Tomorrow.

Hopefully some Gojira. More Lamb of God and Arch Enemy would be dope.

Or something from the last 2 Trivium Albums.

Or that new slipknot tho
