BEST SONG EVER !
i cant understand why most of these bands sound like we are still having the 80ies around when using a stereo recorder was a revolution.
I can't understand why you're commenting this and then proceed to post a journal about metalcore.
Parent
i was just Talking about General Sound and production - i (Read: my own Personal opponion) think Most of These Bands Sound is terrible (Not Talking about about General musicality or the Music itself). And imo you cant deny the fact that Most of the metalcore Bands (or Let's say "modern Metal" Bands) have a far more Advanced and General better sounding production/Sound than "Classic" Metal Bands who are somehow trying to resemble a sound that has Been obertaken for over Ten Years already. At least this is how i see Things. In the end its in everyones Personal Taste.
But if you Want to Flame me for listening to metalcore, for whatever reason, have Fun.
Parent
Now this is what I call plain noise.
music is noise....
