HARDCORE SAVED MY LIFE

[Clockwork_killa]

Im quite fond of aversionline.com, mostly hardcore but some black metal, sludge etc thrown in for good measure.

[Darkeside]

It depends what you are after, aversion is pretty good especially for the more Holy Terror side of things

http://x43x.blogspot.com is good for classic metalcore - Disembodied thing, which I currently can't get enough of, same sort of thing at http://coregasm.blogspot.com/ but there are loads once you start looking - Most of them have a good selection of links down the side to have a wander through and find records that may take your fancy.

As mentioned above, http://doublecrosswebzine.blogspot.com/ is pretty good as an 80's/early 90's hardcore nostalgia site.

there are very few hardcore bands that pushed the envelope like orchid did. that's why i think hardcore is stale nowadays. And orchid did it at a time when I wasn't even into HC..

Found these on youtube, Congress and Liar, the first one is directed by none other than mr Dwid Hellion.
I wish there was a blog out there like the ones posted above with oldschool euro stuff and all the early H8000 stuff, cos its damn hard to get hold of.

[heBAY]

Is the above H8000 stuff considered metalcore? I mean if someone considers Rorschach metalcore...

[Clockwork_killa]

^Depends on the band, H8000 is more of an affiliation than it is a genre. But many of the originators of the H8000 scene such as Liar and Congress would be considered metalcore and there are still plenty of metalcore bands in the scene now such as Rafflesia, Morda, Fatal Recoil, Arkangel etc.

ahaha you are an awkward bugger aren't you!

For reference:

I'd have called Rorschach metallic hardcore

and

a band like Arkangel/Liar/H8000 bands or early Unearth = Metalcore

The difference in my mind being that metallic hardcore is hardcore kids playing metal, where as metalcore is more metal kids playing music with a more hardcore agenda be it Straight Edge, Animal Liberation or whatever.

Well said mate! HOnestly though, no, I would not call Rorschach metalcore...I would def. say (in agreement with you) hardcore punk with a metallic tinge to it...I find the whole "powerviolence" label more applicable to them than metalcore.

That Euro stuff is pretty good shit though...much better than practically any of the US metalcore shit I've heard...at least what I can recall right now (not really my thing).

Furthermore, I'd go to call Rorschach "the best thing since graham crackers"...thank you.

Gray Matter ripped last night.

American Nightmare is what did it for me. The first time I heard Please Die, I knew that this music was gonna be with me for the rest of my life.

[oxas]

new ceremony is mad catchy but am i the only one who feels like they could have spent 5 more minutes on the lyrics and wrote something other than the cliche ass anti religious stuff? idk it's not a big deal but that's just me..

not very big on hardcore but bad brains, gorilla biscuits and jerrys kids are great

Did this thread just run a full circle? Square 1 status?

Seriously...click on the first page and read the first few posts...shit is surreal.

[headtowall]

Unbroken, Disembodied, Trial, and maybe Undertow in Chicago in April.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i remember the undertow/struggle split 7" on bloodlink

that was one of my first 7"s (that and Sawhorse on Ebullition)

bought from the little Spaceboy stand (RIP) inside Zipperhead (RIP)

i think i have a (maybe false) memory of seeing unbroken

all wearing black t's and jeans

the guitar player climbed on his stack and kicked it out from under him so that it fell flat and he landed on his back on top of it

[Darkeside]

that is an insanely good line up, even with my no reunion show policy. Not catching Trial on their London reunion is a big regret of mine, one of the few shows i'm gutted I missed.

been playing so much disembodied lately - so heavy.

[heBAY]

Speaking of heavy...I've been playing the shit out of the LifesBlood/Life's Blood/Lifes Blood Defiance EP. Can't wait for the reissue on Prank.

After going through some of the older NYHC again in my catalog...as well as getting some things semi-lately that I missed first time around...LB sticks out like a sore thumb. Stuff is brutal...love the recording style of it...the guitars are dirty and violent with distortion...but yet they still have body (great pre-cursor to the behemoth sound that Born Against had).

YOUTH EN-RAGE!!!

[Darkeside]

Info on those reissues please?

[sistersuzie]

been listening to DYS a lot yesterday. got my bf into liking crumbsuckers

[heBAY]

Info on those reissues please?

Shit, you and I both...when Prank is deciding to re-release that FORREAL...I have no idea. THey've got me waiting eagerly for that AND the real deal CXA discography (including the demo and some other crud). Both of these reissues have been confirmed in recent months by both Jason O'Toole and Daryl Kahan.

At this point, Prank holds the cure.
