This albums is rockin

 

That cover looks like it would fit perfectly alongside all the hair metal bands from the 80’s and 90’s.

 

United Blood is still hanging in there. I am holding my breath.

 

Love it and the album cover!

 

Mercyful Fate is a band from 80’s, that is metal and had lots of hair!

 

They keep saying they and the venue have no intention of canceling.

 

I really want to go but it’s just not safe. Maybe next year!

 

The state banned events with more than 100 people. It had been postponed at this time

 

It’s sad but it’s the right thing to do

 

In good news this is awesome!

 

I’d have to go with:
Hatebreed: Satisfaction is the Death of Desire
Indecision: Unorthodox
Earth Crisis: Firestorm
Snapcase: Progression Through Unlearning
Candiria: The Process of Self Development

 

earth crisis - destroy the machines
bane - it all comes down to this
converge - petitioning the empty sky
madball - set it off
bad religion - stranger than fiction

 

Hatebreed - Satisfaction
Turmoil - The Process Of
Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops
Leeway - Desperate Measures
Lifetime - Jersey’s Best Dancers

Integrity’s Those Who Fear Tomorrow, Right Brigade EP and LOA River Runs Red were reeeeal close

 

Yeah, my notable mentions were definitely:
Cave In: Until Your Heart Stops
One King Down: God Loves, Man Kills
Death Threat: Last Dayz
Buried Alive: The Death of Your Perfect World
Life of Agony: River Runs Red

 

Pretty tough question. Also need to check out Candiria

 

Tom from Indecision/Most Precious Blood/ A2G guests on the album. It is WAY ahead of its time.

 

cave in should be on mine. idk why i made the metalcore disqualification for them but not converge haha. scrap madball *ducks*

 

Ok, a controversial question but what would you describe as "hardcore" band?

A few years ago I spoke to Uriah from Dead End Path, and he referred to Title Fight as a "hardcore" band. He stated that whilst they don't necessarily sound like one, to him they would always be due to the scene they have inhabited, and their morals.

What do you think to that statement, and is it the same for the likes of Balance & Compsoure, Tigers Jaw, Such Gold, Basement, Hostage Calm, The Wonder Years, etc. Many of whom developed their sound and fanbases from the hardcore scene?

 

That is a hard question. I think it has something to do with sound and then it has nothing to do with your sound/style. I think it's more about the scene and what bands you align with and/or tour with. There are so many bands that have a "core" sound yet aren't hardcore and the scene embraces them.

Take a band like ETID, Cave In or even Converge that are so far removed from the standard core sound yet they are part of the scene and grew up in it. I mean look at Code Orange. They aren't even hardcore anymore but came up in the scene.

If we are looking at the basic definition of hardcore then it's punk music but with more riffs. So, essentially all those bands fit into that equation if that's the bottom line.

I don't know its a hard question...

I think A2G took this topic on a few times and even then were unsure of where the line is drawn.
