LETS FUCKING FIGHT THEN

Saw Val Kilmer do a one man show as Mark Twain going into afterlife and reflecting on stuff. It was a pretty good show.

Personal examples:Jeromes Dream (a lot of yelpy/yelly stuff)

If you haven't heard them, you'd probably haaaaaate Amalgamation, who did a split with Jerome's Dream.

I'm not very well-acquainted with a lot of post-hardcore/emo/screamo/metalcore, etc. music, but I bought their split with another band called Left in Ruins from a local shop for a buck knowing nothing about either. Going by the cover, how long it sat on the shelves, and the fact that it was only a dollar, I figured it must be some really mediocre and rightfully obscure goth band's record, but I was feeling adventurous, and I figured maybe I'd end up with an obscure gem instead... I am a big fan of 80's post-punk and goth music, so I was willing to take a chance for a buck.

Anyway, I took it home and put it on. What the hell is this shit?! It isn't Sisters of Mercy, that's for sure. Not at all what I expected, but it's fucking weird in the best way possible! Melodic yet loose and raw as hell and just totally unhinged sounding. It was like the band was literally throwing a tantrum, haha.

As I listened to the opening number, I was having visions of some fruitcake-y, dark avant-metal-something outsider weirdos making this music (the closest approximation I could think of to compare their sound to at the time was the band Towpath). I didn't know what else to make of them because I hadn't really been exposed to much of this sort of music, and the copy I bought didn't have the insert with band images/info. A second copy I bought later from the same shop did, and from that I was able to figure out that this was actually a hardcore band from, like, Virginia or something...

That was basically my first proper introduction to screamo or "skramz" or whatever. The band's certainly not for everyone, but they made a big impression on me. I'm still very much a casual and largely uneducated fan of the genre, but they helped me to become a lot more receptive to it than I'd ever been previously. None of this really has any relevance to the thread, though... Long story short, their vocals will probably make most people want to kill the nearest living organism:

Also, I never could get into Vio-Lence because of Sean Killian's vocals. Something about them just irks the fuck out of me. I can't get over it, even though I think the band is good otherwise.

Another band I actually like a lot but could easily see getting a lot of hate purely for their vocals was the band, Martyr Whore, who were something like the French equivalent of OTOP-era Christian Death, or at least tried to be, complete with fey and overly-dramatic vocals:

Oh, oh! and Nuit Noire! I genuinely adore this project, but a lot of people can't stand his vocals:

LOL Space you got so bodied here

[Mudfuzz]

to totally interrupt the subject of whether or not the Door suck or something casecandy reminded me that Ghost B.C exists… thanks… I add them to the list, his voice irritates me, it's like a bad attempt of trying to sing like King Diamond at half speed.

[daseb]

dude sounds like an actual human muppet. But not anywhere near as cool.

[casecandy]

There are problems with that band that go deeper than "I just can't stand his voice," IMO.

[Mudfuzz]

You mean the corpse-a-lo paint?

[neonblack]

About half of Every Time I Die albums are this for me.

I am not about that partycore bullshit but Last Night In Town and Hot Damn are fucking classics.

Everything after that is pretty douchey IMO. Haven't even listened to the newest one cause I don't even care.

[D.o.S.]

I can understand the Nirvana hate actually. Sure he's good at it, and it's hard to do or whatever. So what? It's kind of annoying and probably hard for some people to disassociate from all the awful awful radio rock bands that ripped it off and cleaned it up in the 90s.


Also the Doors fucking suck and I will fight each and every one of you over that if you can put down your shitty oregano filled bongs and stop staring at your screen printed '12 commandments of the native american' mirrors long enough.

Dase I love you bb but you are so goddamn wrong it hurts.

[D.o.S.]

Like legitimately you can't hate on any band that spends 7 and a half minutes on a song about fire and refuses the easiest shittiest rhyme in human history also they're fucking unimpeachable and I will not fight you because I have the upper body strength of a three year old on Rohypnol but I will make sad faces at my computer and you will feel marginally worse about your goddamn single speed bike commute or something.

Also Full of Hell are really cool dudes and super young and they give me hope for the newer generation even if I was the only person of drinking age near the front of the stage and had to avoid moshing 16 year olds to finish my beverages because I'm a little too blasted to get to the spite hate thread from this pair of paragraphs. Moral of the story is that you're totally 110% incorrect in your assessment and I question your judgement even if I really like your record.

[rustywire]

I don't trust anyone who even daydreams about peripherally hating-on the Doors s/t debut. Foh

[daseb]

Played with Full of Hell. Super nice people. I was tired and sick so I went home before they played though.

Sorry guys, the Doors are just self-fellating garbage for baby boomers and high school kids who think they're too deep for 'that crap on radio made with computers' to me.
