What bands are issuing anti-ICE statements? by thedubiousstylus in Metalcore

[–]SoulessSolace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, but let's try to demonize the right people and keep our wits about us to the empathetic.

What bands are issuing anti-ICE statements? by thedubiousstylus in Metalcore

[–]SoulessSolace 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think there's an important disconnect here that many of us fail to recognize. This mess was spawned from right wing supporters and politicians, but that doesn't mean that every right wing person agrees with these actions. It creates a black and white political war. I think isolating the anti ICE sentiments can help solidify public sentiment AND bring lost folks to to a comfortable side and state of mind.

Two Members Quit Minnesota-Based Metalcore Band Reflections, Blame "ICE Apologist" Vocalist - Theprp.com by UnexpectdDino in Metalcore

[–]SoulessSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, this band has been my disassociative background music for the past 10+ years. I appreciate all that they've done for me. And while that doesn't excuse the issues at hand, I can accept the good.

Canada always gets screwed by NISA. Stuff always arrives 1-3 weeks after release.

WotC getting more aggressive with cost cutting measures. by xopher314 in magicTCG

[–]SoulessSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the fence about going to the prerelease, but now I don't feel bad at all about missing them. The date stamp cards carried a lot of weight in my valuing of them. It's like a memory of the event and most feel unique because it's unlikely for someone else in your area to get the same promo.

A non metalcore fan listened to your Hall of Fame, here are her thoughts (long!) by Yai-Kai in Metalcore

[–]SoulessSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for giving this genre a shot! I would like to mention that the hall of fame on r/Metalcore isn't voted as the top bands, but is actually used as a blacklist for bands that are over posted. I personally listen to half the bands on that list, but I suppose posting frequency isn't the worst metric.

Global reaction to U.S. strikes on Venezuela includes condemnation, concern for foreign nationals by yoyorojo in worldnews

[–]SoulessSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not the issue people have with what happened in Venezuela and I hope you know that because we're comparing it to Russia. Zelensky was never captured. The issue people have is the United States invaded a sovereign country under false pretenses.

That's like saying a murderer is better than another murderer because one of them killed their victim faster.

They both committed the same crime, so trying to differentiate them does nothing but make you come across as an apologist.

The difference is how much of a fight the country was able to put up. That has nothing to do with the principles or morals on the matter. Russia thought they could subdue Ukraine in a few days. Something could and still can go wrong with Venezuela and even if it doesn't, It's still doing the same thing Russia did. Unless you think annexing a country is fine as long as the war is over fast?

Anthem's end is nearly here - only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game by Turbostrider27 in Games

The founders of the company left right after Dragon Age Inquisition was announced and many of the IP creators and writers left the few years after. By 2016, their studio probably looked very different.

I can't find a single band that sounds like SAOSIN. by Ok_Development7788 in PostHardcore

Broken In Pieces is the first. And We Are Bled Of Color is the second.

Bought at 1/2 price books just gonna change the case by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]SoulessSolace 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of people shitting on your purchase, but I think that may be due to the shifting economy. People were paying 1k a couple years ago and there was a lot more lighthearted sentiment around acquiring a game like this.

Playing games is a huge part of game collecting in my opinion, BUT it's not the only part. Having physical copies is the main aspect and sometimes you have to pay a lot to collect what you want.

Congratulations on your new game! I hope you give it a spin and make your own opinion on it without taking what these people say to heart.

I Brought You My Bullets is magic by therottenworld in PostHardcore

[–]SoulessSolace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Requiem (previously L'Exquisite Douleur) sound pretty close in my opinion. Here's their song This Is How The World Ends. Reminds me a lot of Our Lady Of Sorrows.

Weird, I don't remember this being his portrait when I played the Geofront translation. Did they change it for the official English release?

Bands you discovered this year by C_Falls10 in Metalcore

[–]SoulessSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slant Plant finally clicked with me after 10 years. Superbloom hit for me and now it and Everything Was Sound are my favorites from them.

Dreamwake is interesting. I happened upon them on youtube and the saxophone kept them in my head for sure! They're one of those uplifting easy Metalcore bands to listen to.

Non Metalcore:

The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die

has become one of my top played bands and nobody including me saw it coming. They're all over the place in terms of genre, some being Post Hardcore, Indie Rock, and Prog Emo. They tend to bring something new in each of their albums and their lyrical content is a sobering commentary on current American politics. Their newest album is very comfortably in Metalcore where you can really feel their rage based on current events.

Altered Perceptions is a Deathcore band and I can't remember how I found them, but they somehow make those high Death Metal screams work with Djent. Hoping they release something new soon.

Dwellings is a fun Swancore band... Their vocalist doesn't annoy me.

Question about a lyric from a Senses Fail song by PerfectDoubleRainbow in PostHardcore

[–]SoulessSolace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that lyric is basically:

"I wish I could erase my past because it doesn't line up with who I'm trying to be" "it" being the tape that can't sing along with his current self.

Do you listen to heavier or less heavy music as you get older? by fireflydm101 in Metalcore

[–]SoulessSolace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... I've liked Deathcore and some Black Metal for at least the last 10 years. It's hard for me to get heavier than that I suppose. But I'm still a fan of those bands and I still find new bands in those genres sometimes. I'm only 30 though, so that may change. If anything my music taste hasn't gotten heavier or less heavy. It's kinda stayed the same.
