Phil Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 New BOYSETSFIRE single "One Match", with accompanying video: Also, for fans of BSF or their vocalist Nathan Gray, check out his much heavier project I AM HERESY that really dives into the more Satanic elements and themes of his real-life Satanism views/beliefs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Not my cup of tea. Regardless of their Christian message. Just not a fan of this sound. Too "soft". Reminds me of all those post-hardcore bands like Silverstein, Underoath, Brand New, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 yeah, they're not "hard" by any means, but i can't front. i really get down with some melodic [insertvaguetermhere]core. thanks for posting BSF, i haven't listened to them since tomorrow comes today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 More power to you, dude. It's awesome that you're into it. It's just not for me. BSF is fantastic though. We share that in common for sure. Tomorrow Come Today and After the Eulogy are two of my favorite records of theirs. I listened to After the Eulogy religiously in high school. You should check out While a Nation Sleeps.... It's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 will do. and now i'm looking through my music catalog for something "hard" to share... but i don't fuck with "hard" shit.../ the metal i really like is just technical as fuck. not sure if that makes it "hard" though, you know? and by no means to i want to have a discussion about the million sub-genres under the metal umbrella, i'm just...typing. i guess...the bled? pass the flask was one of my favorite fucking albums when it came out. but that's not that hard. calico system? the duplicated memory has its moments. and that will always be one of my most favorite albums to listen to. fear before (the march of flames)? i think they got rid of the "the march of flames" part of their name - odd how people shake will forever stay with me. there are some SOLID fucking tracks on that album. circle takes the square? not hard, but definitely not soft - as the roots undo. can't go wrong with converge, eh? but they're not really metal...they're more hardcore, i suppose. there i go again though...talking about genres. what about into the moat or curl up and die?

NYR2711 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I used to love Boy Sets Fire, but they softened up and got way too political. Their first and second albums were awesome, the third they really changed their sound, and I couldn't get into anything new by them. Their shows were like 75% political bullshit talk and 25% music. I hate that shit, I dont pay money to hear their political views, I want some talk and mostky music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 oh, i don't disagree. i'm not sure i listen to any traditional metal... like...5 minute songs with "epic" guitar solos just doesn't do it for me. i get bored. maybe that's just my a.d.d. talking but i want my song to change every 10 seconds and never repeat. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Heh. All good, dude. Are you into Dillinger Escape Plan at all? Their older records would probably be right up your alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 oh of course. i could have sworn i mentioned them on the first page of this thread. them and psyopus - absolutely right up my alley. PLAY ALL THE TIME SIGNATURES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 I never got into the older, "matheir" Dillinger, but I really dig the new era sound they have with the clean vocals. " " is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 yeah, i can definitely get into some of their less-mathy stuff. miss machine was also a great album. it was like...a great mix of their mathy content with the newer-era dillinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Love it. I'm a big fan of Daryl Palumbo's work in general. Head Automatica is one of those catchy-as-fuck bands that caught a lot of flack from Glassjaw "purists" who wanted more of that raw, screaming energy. They hated the dancy-nature of the songs, but I thought both records were fantastic. Just good, fun-loving music. If you think ATDI is great, I think you'd dig Snapcase. Here's a few suggestions: "Typecast Modulator" "Coagulate" "Synthesis of Classic Forms" The last video is actually how they do/did a lot of their live shows. Tons of smoke, and a back-lit stage with lights pointing out into the crowd so the band is often silhouetted. It's fucking awesome. They opened for AFI years ago at Irving Plaza. One of the best shows I've ever been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 i'm finishing up listening to miss machine (DEP) and then i'll check these out. thanks! and yeah...lol @ glassjaw purists...i used to post on a lot of music boards and noticed the same thing. some of that head automatica shit was awesome. but for the purists, there's no removing glassjaw from head automatica because of palumbo. but they're just such different projects, the only thing the purists can grasp and hold onto is palumbo's name. in being that kind of a purist, they're shortchanging only themselves.

phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 these snapcase songs remind me of something and i can't pinpoint it just yet. but i can definitely understand where the recommendation came from. thank you! helmet anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 I mean, I've almost always been supportive of bands changing their sound. I've been dealing with this my whole life with Metallica. There's Metallica stuff I can't stand (cough*St. Anger*cough), but I never rip bands for changing or altering their sound as they evolve over time. Purists bitch, but my response is always the same... you really want them to release Ride The Lightning every other year? You really think you wouldn't get tired of it? Bands can't put the same sounding song out 100 times and expect to make money, and at the end of the day, that's what they're in this for, even if they really, really, really, really love it for the music. Most bands do this as a career choice, so they have to make money, on top of making music they also enjoy. I'll never fault an artist or a group for at least trying something new or different. Sometimes it falls flat, sometimes not, but I'll never rip a band for trying to explore other sound avenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 first two snapcase songs were great. less than three minutes - perfect. that thing song though, i had to turn it off. it's not that i can't appreciate some slower shit, but five and a half minutes of it - i have the attention span of a gnat.

Sometimes it falls flat, sometimes not, but I'll never rip a band for trying to explore other sound avenues. yeah. i agree. i used to write a lot of music. the evolution of songwriting is exactly that - an evolution. you can't continue to write the same thing and expect it to get better. you start trying new things and hence, develop a new sound. when i was listing bands earlier, it occurred to me that i was listing early albums by each bands. not on purpose. not because i'm wearing my hipster glasses and liked the bands before anyone else, but mostly because there is something so raw about a band's first album. it's not exactly easy to keep that kind of energy up. also, i stopped caring about the "scene" or whatever the fuck for a while. life got the best of me, and so my cut-off was like 2004-2005.
