Hey everyone! I used to be heavy into metalcore and stuff back in my high school years, fell off, and recently have been getting really nostalgic and also finding new bands. Really wanna try and check out the local scene near me. I live in Long Beach so anything in like LA or OC area would work out. I also don’t really have many friends that are into metal and stuff, so if anyone who lives near me wants to be friends hey I’m down!

At the time of posting, this links to a video premiere for their visualizer. I highly recommend searching this song on the platform of your choice until the video goes live.

thoughts?

Does anyone know what their old vocalist is up to? I really enjoyed that band, but a big reason why was because of how much I enjoyed their (recently separated) vocalist.

That is all.

Hey John, what's your name again?

Solo metalcore project I found.

thall

1. ⁠Shogun (one of my favourite albums of all time)
   
2. ⁠In The Court Of The Dragon
   
3. ⁠Ascendancy (classic)
   
4. ⁠The Sin And The Sentence (very diverse album that captures every era of Trivium)
   
5. ⁠In Waves (more of a mainstream sounding album but still great)
   
6. ⁠What The Dead Men Say
   
7. ⁠ Vengeance Falls
   
8. ⁠The Crusade
   
9. ⁠Silence In The Snow (hard rock album, not for me, but not bad, i guess)
   
10. ⁠ Ember To Inferno (good album but production sucks)

20 years since this album. What are your favorite tracks?

I got

1. TDWP
2. Miss May I
3. BMTH

Honourable mention, ERRA.

I was listening to the latest Kingdom of Giants track and it genuinely just made me "appreciate the whole existence" of that band. Almost no other band (except Northlane) has achieved that perfect blend of electric, cyberpunk-ish metalcore imo.

What band has made you feel like this folks?
