Jesus_Freak Posted January 25, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I've been sorta searching around here for people who like the kind of music that i do, but it doesn't seem like anyone does. So i was wondering if anyone here likes metalcore music, or grind. Examples of such music would be Metalcore: Fordirelifesake, The Bled, Everytime I Die, Between the Buried and Me, Zao....etc. Grind: Psyopus, The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Converge... etc. sooo... anyone here like any of this stuff? i feel alone in this forum when it comes to music.

+joc Posted January 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Having never heard of any of these bands, I guess I can say....no. But as a music enthusiast, I did a google search of Every Time I Die and downloaded a song. The music I like...the screaming vocals I don't. So, there you go.

Jesus_Freak Posted January 25, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) haha, everytime i die hardly screams... he yells more because he screwed up his voice on their first cd...joc, fordirelifesake is an awesome band... i think you'd love them if you like ETID's music... just ignore the screaming (he's an awesome screamer btw) Edited January 25, 2005 by Jesus_Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted January 25, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2005 So, I checked out fordirelifesake. Again, I just don't like the screaming. I like the music. But I can't ignore the screaming, yelling what ever you call the vocals. I never really got into that hardcore punk scene. But thanks for sharing anyway.

Shakezulah Posted January 25, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2005 i kinda like Zao. ive heard them plenty of times, but i can never understand what the lead singer is saying. it doesnt really sound like hes saying anything at all. i like other bands like them tho, like As I Lay Dying, Norma Jean and Living Sacrafice.

Jesus_Freak Posted January 25, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) really? you can't understand Zao? I think Dan is quite easy to understand... The only problem i have with Zao is that their stuff isn't all that special. But dan is a phenominal screamer. I sorta like Norma Jean too...my friend showed me As I Lay Dying... they're alright... Didja know that Zao and Norma Jean are both christian bands? Edited January 25, 2005 by Jesus_Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakezulah Posted January 25, 2005 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) no Zao isnt really special, because ive heard a lot of bands like them. and about the only words ive ever understood from their music is at one point in a song, i heard him say "small boy". actualy, i heard their newer album, the Funeral of God or something like that, and it was easier to understand than their past material. yeah i knew that they were christian bands. actualy, Zao was released from their old label before their ltest cd came out and signed on to a normal label, so technically, theyre not christian anymore.

Jesus_Freak Posted January 25, 2005 Author #8 Share Posted January 25, 2005 yeah, that's true... and he does say small boy in one of their songs... haha... i really don't like Funeral of God that much though... I think the name sorta explains why.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakezulah Posted January 25, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2005 well the name doesnt really mean anything to me, since i listen to mostly secular music. read my last post, i edited it, if you havent seen it altready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_Freak Posted January 25, 2005 Author #10 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) well, it's not just the lable they're signed to that makes them christian... taking back sunday isn't a christian band, but they have a christian name, because their guitar player is christian (i was curious... i researched it....) the people in zao are christian, the thing that bugged me about The Funeral of God was all the "well, what if God disapeered, and left us here to rot?" coming from a christian guy. it just upset me a little.

Shakezulah Posted January 25, 2005 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2005 i know, but the label contains mostly christian bands. but i think Zao didnt wanna be christian anymore, so thats why they signed off of the label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_Freak Posted January 25, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) oo, i get what you're saying.... norma jean's lyrics arent very christian oriented... but they're considered a christian band Edited January 25, 2005 by Jesus_Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBauer Posted January 25, 2005 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Im not exactly into the "metalcore'" kind of music, or anything like it. Ill stick with the good ol' ACDC anyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotboy555 Posted January 25, 2005 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2005 i'm not into metalcore, but my brother is. he likes the number twelve looks like you, but i wouldn't consider them grind. grind is like cryptopsy. anyway, he also likes darkest hour, and some other bands.

AffinityForEvil Posted January 28, 2005 #15 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Metalcore as you call it is the best music. I was the biges Zao fan for a long time. I have about 5 or 6 of there Cds. Great stuff there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bypassxautodafe Posted February 6, 2005 #18 Share Posted February 6, 2005 You all are dumb. I am a Christian too and the fact that Zao chose to creatively address the fact that we as a race, have neglected God by naming their CD 'The Funeral of God' has not offended me one bit. Actually, it has caused me to look within myself to see how I can get myself closer to God. That is what drives me crazy. People look at lyrics from bands like Zao and will only look skin-deep. They're Christians (yes they are, even though they aren't on a Christian label) but they are also artists. Art is supposed to make the observer examine themselves. Furthermore, Norma Jean's lyrics aren't Christian? Well you obviously Haven't read the lyrics for Shotgun Message: Artist: Norma Jean Album: Bless The Martyr And Kiss The Child Song: Shotgun Message Staring at the world through the whole you put in my hand. That was caused by a blade you gently inserted. I did this for you, not for your religion, not for your patterns. I did this for you. I did this for a man like you. Stop searching and find Me. I am stabbed by grace and slinging blood. Wow. If you can't recognize that as Jesus explaining his crucifiction then I guess I am merely casting pearls before swine. =Nx+hxn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_Freak Posted February 7, 2005 Author #19 Share Posted February 7, 2005 ok, i'm just saying that their (Norma Jean) lyrics aren't openly christian... if someone didn't know they were christian, then i doubt they'd guess from their lyrics....
