    There was just something special about 2000s Metalcore. Most everything now is just "let's be as heavy as possible" but back then there were some sick riffs, great chugs, and interesting melodies.

    • @candideggplant1575
      @candideggplant1575 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Heavy only in the sense that you'll need special subwoofers to listen to everything properly. 2000s metalcore was simple, rhythmic, groovy, had good choruses, good melodies, and the lyrics were meaningful. As I lay dying is great, even now confined is so good.

    200’s metalcore is what got me into metal in the first place. Demon Hunter, The Showdown, He is Legend, and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster were the fist metal bands I got into, and I still listen to them

    Also, a lot of this is more specifically the At The Gates-core/melodeath-core fork that metalcore took. Aka, the best metalcore ever was or will be.

    This vid snapped me back to University times, listening to music on a diskman.
    Working all day long, studying at the night, scavenging any new band we could find and playing with the dudes at the weekend.
    Life was great.
