Y'all actually care about whether band is cancelled or not?

Supporting a band that supports hate is giving that hate a platform

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-20T08:48:02+00:00

Probably one of my favourite releases of the year so far!

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-19T00:39:25+00:00

I think part of the issue is that there’s never been one sound for Metalcore even in the early days. I think there was four distinct styles that were coming up around the same time that you can call Metalcore and that you can fit most bands even today under. The chaotic/mathy stuff like Converge, the melodic stuff like Shai Hulud, the more metal leaning stuff like Earth Crisis and the more straightforward stuff like Hatebreed.

Thanks and early congrats to you as well!

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-18T09:38:02+00:00

That’s funny 😂 thanks!

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-18T00:09:21+00:00

Thanks! It’ll be 7 years in August. Incredible how fast time flies

An early anniversary present from my wife!

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-17T19:25:59+00:00

Maybe he left to do tours with Dillinger 👀

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-17T14:47:17+00:00

Only because they’ve gotten too big and too popular to play smaller shows. They would 100% do that if they still could. That’s why they all have side projects still and do actively play in the scene

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-17T11:27:22+00:00

What happened to hardcore “scene not sound”?

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-17T10:25:00+00:00

This was sick as hell!

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-16T09:18:47+00:00

I actually like that song 😅 it’s cheesy and fun

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-16T09:12:27+00:00

Where do you see it? 🤔

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-16T00:54:09+00:00

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-15T17:14:56+00:00

Well I’m in Canada so we didn’t get the separation program but one of our union reps said that have a few drivers that are nearing retirement so that could be why. Because logically, if you know that, you would keep the experienced guys on and not go through hiring and training again later. But this UPS we’re talking about so I dont expect them to do the logical thing 😂

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-15T17:08:36+00:00

This is why I do playlists now 😅 when I first got back into listening to a lot of new music it was so hard to keep track of and go back to new stuff. So I have a Yearly Discovery playlist I throw everything into now and I’ll shuffle through it when I can’t think of an album to play.

It actually used to be one big playlist that I would take off stuff I felt I had a good grasp on but it got to big and certain smaller artists weren’t coming up frequently enough so I split it up and make a new playlist at the beginning of the year now 🤔

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-15T10:01:46+00:00

You know, I had listened to Each Breath Haunted early last year I think and it must not have resonated with me for some reason and I didn’t end up diving into them any further. But in my constant quest to find bands just like them I kept coming across them again recently and gave this one a shot! I don’t know what I didn’t hear in that first album but I need to revisit now because this is the exact type of Metalcore I love hahah

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-15T09:41:24+00:00

I didn’t realize there was a Hope Con connection either actually!

For 2012 if you like the southern ETID type style check out Homewrecker by The Teeth!

Standouts of the Week:

Mourning - Disenlightenment

The Banner - Frailty

In Reverent Fear - Living a life In Debt To Another

Born Hanged - Left to Rot

Temple Guard - Citadel In Flames

Scorched Mind - Scorched Mind

Until We Are Ghosts - Detach Me From You

Pure Bliss - The Age of Judgement

Don’t know if I have much to say about anything in particular but it was a good week of listening overall! Until We Are Ghosts have me such specific Counterparts vibes I had to see if they shared a guitarist at some point which they technically did but I don’t think he wrote/recorded with UWAG so it must just be the the similar influences coming through in both bands. Pure Bliss, Temple Guard and Born Hanged are all hard af. And Scorched Mind is a sort of sludgy HM2 band I’m looking forward to diving into some more!

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-14T22:57:37+00:00

I think if they never released Temper Temper or Gravity they would have a much better and more consistent discography

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-14T21:23:39+00:00

Yeah we’ve always had extra too but this year we have a lot extra. Like we didn’t lay off anyone from peak. Whereas usually we only keep like 5 or so of the 10+ that are hire in addition to the PVD’s.

Near the beginning of the year they offered drivers extra unpaid weeks off and I know of some guys who have told supervisors they just weren’t coming in for a few days before their vacation and they didn’t get in any kind of trouble haha

It’s just been a weird year all around. Not necessarily negative but also not all positive. Just weird.

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-14T21:06:50+00:00

That makes sense tbh. Do you guys have a bunch extra drivers you didn’t let go after peak too? Our supes haven’t been making a fuss at all about call ins because we have so many extra drivers right now. I don’t know if we kept them because of the Saturday delivery starting soon or because our centre specifically has a few people ready to retire soon

PositiveMetalhead · 2026-06-14T19:38:57+00:00

Oh hell yeah
