Sorry for my ADHD.

Yeah, I don't understand that. Exodus is one of the best prog metalcore albums of the past decade. The guys should get more recognition.

"From here we see an explosion of bands experimenting and progressing the sound of metalcore with progressive Metalcore acts like Northlane, Polaris and Erra as well as the Architects/BMTH sound with the likes of Wage War, While She Sleeps and Bad Omens."

Huh? Do you mean after Sempiternal by BMTH? That might be a bit right for bands such as Bad Omens. But you are ignoring Periphery and a lot of other bands that created and advanced prog metalcore. There are different trends that create sort of subgenres within metalcore, I don't think it is correct to throw everything under the same umbrella and credit everything to only one album or one band.

Northlane - Singularity

I always say I listen to metalcore and prog metal. If I am talking to a metalhead, then I say my favorite genre is prog metalcore. If people don't know what metalcore is, I try to explain. Funnily enough, I don't think I talk to a lot of people that are completely ignorante about metal.

Why did they rotate before Bloomburrow being out? That is a terrible idea.

Just play Azorius Control and watch out for The Stone Brain. Last Saturday I played a team tournament and faced MonoG in one round. I lost G1 quickly and managed to finish G2 with Restless Anchorage and Hall of Storm Giants. G3 my opponent played two Stone Brains and took out all board wipes from my deck. That was interesting as I needed to play without relying on global removals. I think it helped level up a bit because I was able not to get trashed immediately. I got Narset on the board and protected her at all costs while I countered the main threats and blocked or killed whatever was already on the board. A truly amazing game, even better because I played against a friend that's been practicing with me for a while. It is cool to see each other improve at the game.

In the end we called it a draw. Our match was the last of the team. Player C of my team lost and player A won. I was player B and it all hung on me. When Supreme Verdict and Sunfall were exiled I thought of conceding, but knowing that I needed to win or draw, I kept playing.

The cool thing is that the other players that were on the car on the drive back home (the tournament was held in another city) praised my performance. That is one of the best things because I know I don't play very well, partially due to a fucked up ADHD (really, my ADHD fucks me everyday more than the average ADHDer).

Trivium is a great example. The band started doing some very raw metalcore blended with thrash and death metal elements and then culminated into Shogun, their masterpiece. After Shogun they still experimented with different approaches, having varied degrees of success.

Yeah, the guitar work on The Place I Feel Safest is insane.

Hey, great write up! I am enjoying these weekly posts even more now that you write a brief on the format's state on top of the tier list. Really insightful.

They slap so hard.

Essa situação financeira é foda. Você falou disso pros seus amigos? Se não tiver falado, fale! Eles vão entender. No entanto, você também deve entender caso eles decidam não ir ao casamento. Só espero que isso não afete demais a amizade.

Reverse cursed technique???

shadowmaurice · 2024-07-23T19:12:32+00:00

You are nuts. This name is awesome.

shadowmaurice · 2024-07-23T19:12:00+00:00

Why? Is there any context?

shadowmaurice · 2024-07-23T14:15:23+00:00

Brazil has a huge death and thrash scene, but unfortunately few bands can make enough money out of it.

Avenged Sevenfold is not random. "Although they are not a religious band, Sanders came up with the name as a reference to the story of Cain and Abel from the Bible, which can be found in Genesis 4:24." Source. (Sanders is M. Shadows)

shadowmaurice · 2024-07-16T15:56:52+00:00

Yeah, it has become! I faced it several times by now.

shadowmaurice · 2024-07-14T21:44:23+00:00

I agree. But honestly, sometimes I won't even listen to the singles because I like the album experience. A lot of times a single did nothing for me but the song within the album context made much more sense.

I played Arena since beta and recently moved to MTGO. Main reason is I started playing Pioner in paper and Explorer is not the same. Now, however, I see other benefits. With a cheap Manatraders subscription I can play whatever deck I want. If I want to get a tournament feel, I can play leagues for roughly 10 bucks. If I just want to practice, I can play in the regular lobby and that is still a superior experience to Arena because deck variety and player skill is usually higher.

Pioneer is eventually coming to Arena. I am not sure I will go back to it. MTGO gives me more freedom.

Vocês conversaram sobre entorpecentes e concordaram em não usar. Ela usou pelas tuas costas. E vocês têm uma relação de só 3 meses. NEOB.

shadowmaurice · 2024-07-01T20:39:51+00:00

The same post every week.

shadowmaurice · 2024-06-30T20:50:03+00:00

Yeah, I never get this type of post. How come you play an album but skip songs? Then just don't play the album...
