Zephyr_Nova Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Just listened to the Dead Cross album again. It's a nice little slab of hardcore, short 'n' sweet. His lyrics sure are weird, I love how he delivers them though. The songs themselves aren't particularly memorable, but if I listened enough to actually know all the song structures I could see it being a pretty satisfying album. Lots of cool sections in there. I rescind my comment about there being no groove... perhaps it's true, but it's really more about getting beaten up by the drums rather than being moved by them. Pretty good album all in all. I wish more hardcore vocalists could be vicious and melodic at the same time. It's far more satisfying than just constant barking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Slayer - Reign in Blood would be the classic answer to that, but I'm more partial to Seasons in the Abyss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is why I can't get into a lot of hardcore. A lot of the vocalists are just too monotone for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I do love music where the vocals aren't melodic at all, but I need variety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 That first Glassjaw album is fucking glorious, and I will not be ashamed to love it. That's kind of the extent of my screamo knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I saw Dead Cross live and they did a Faith No More/Slayer medley if I'm remembering this right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just gave Angel Dust another listen for the first time in a while. It does sound very dated now, but I like those aspects of it. You can hear the tag end of the 80's clinging on to it, but in a much darker setting. Lyrically it's some of Patton's strongest work, taking a jab at sordid American stereotypes. I think King for a Day and Album of the Year probably aged better. Will be relistening to those again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styrio Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The Small Victories book that came out last year by Adrian Harte is a great read, especially covering the 85-95 era. These guys were and are still an original and brilliant band. I am an unashamed Patton fan and some of the Tomahawk material flirted with FNM styles. I personally rate Sol Invictus as a great comeback, and sick as I got of Epic, there's 2 vids on YouTube decontructing the songs into their individual channels - Puffys drums, Gould's bass and Martin's guitar on that song are just astounding when heard in isolation. Bungle are great also, virtuosity beyond belief, and Secret Chiefs 3 are worth checking if you dig Spruance (the Zorn albums are best).

sidewinder Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Tetema is the best album he has done in 10 years Didn't seem familiar when you mentioned it, then I looked it up on RYM and it turns out I did listen to it a couple of times and rated it 7/10. Will have to listen again because I don't remember a goddamn thing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
