Undead Corporation - Seven Colors

pretty good song of their typical technical melodeath style.

Demise Of All Reason - Destroying Noumena (LP)

though the band broke up, I'll never forget their good skills of guitar and drum...ToT

Cursed Sails - The Great Gold Rush

debut album is pretty cool!!

Morbid Angel - Unholy Blasphemies

Black Widow - A Place Of Heartbreak

...am I going to be older and older? idk

Judas Priest - Redeemer of Souls

well, a 6 year wait, then this new single!

Breakdown Of Sanity - Crumble

Safe Harbor - Drifter

I love only b-sides of this single. I prefer their melodeath side. (there's apparently little breakdown in their songs, so they're not a metalcore band I think.)

Nirvana - I Hate Myself And Want To Die

already so many singles released but too too too hard to be able to listen to......what a fxxking pity

Good review, gj.

I still love this album a little, I like the breakdown parts for sure, it's not only breakdown during those riffs, so it's not so boring.

but, Hazuki's unclean vocal in this album is dull as IKTPQ's growl-only vocals lol, a pity.

the pos songs you said, I love them b'cuz of simple and strong breakdown.

and, EXODUS EP is still my best favorite of lynch for my taste. then again you know how much I love breakdown and don't mind melodies lol.

ps. I'm such a moshcore lover that only few people could understand me what I love......

I Killed The Prom Queen - The Beaten Path

Deathgaze - Allure

Miss May I - Refuse To Believe

xTRiPx - Past＜Future

some bands will recently release something, so the chart will update in several weeks.

reviews will be paused updating, thanks for understanding.

12th Memphis May Fire - Unconditional

a solid album from a solid band.

yeah, really solid and hard. extreme screamo side of post-hardcore, with some okay clean vocal.

you should listen to this track by track from first to last, better not to listen to individually, I think.

instruments are really normal, maybe the only highlight is clean vocals.

unclean vocal is only growl and scream like other bands did.

many metalcore elements with synths, and memorable melodies, breakdowns are, well, just so-so.

but does make out a good feeling, and really fits the drum beats.

this is how the technical post-hardcore like, in the future, at least, if there's less chugging guitar riffs.

mmm, pretty okay album, I don't hope too much at first. but really fits for traditional post-hardcore fans (2000-2008 era).

score 9/10

11th Alesana - The Decade

...when the legend ends at 2011, and restart at 2013, I realized Alesana changed a lot...

you should try to look at their 2013 new single "Fatima Rusalka" firstly.

then you'll know what I means.

about this EP, I have to say this is the real post-hardcore now (not the old ones like Fugazi did).

the scream is deathcore-used "contemporary vomit" and growl. splendid!

the clean vocal is highlight, very heart-striking and powerful, with some emo, fantastic!

the surrounding is changing when you listen to this EP, like a building under construction.

another highlight is the last hidden track, nice ballad with beautiful piano melodies.

recommend: "Double Or Nothing" "Ravenous" "Nevermore" "Hidden Track"

score 9.1/10

People don't like this because it isn't Hollow Crown. That album kicks ass

well, I don't mind what their history is like, I just saw this new album is awesome.

their new year EP is pretty good.

I can easily see that our taste are like day and night, but kudos for writig a little (no, way more than a little) about each album. Neither of these are my cup of tea at all, but it's an interesting read anyway. Great work!

thank you Mr.Bear!

I'm a pretty fanboy, so I won't post my review on site like sputnikmusic or rateyourmusic......

will update tomorrow

10th Dead By April - Let The World Know

modern metalcore from Gothenburg, the origin of modern metal......

people called them "pop metal" made me lmfao... (pop metal= bands like avant-garde metal Pin-Up Went Down straightly use pop songs put into tracks not pop elements......)

DBA becomes one of my favourite bands of all time since 2009.

like the things they made before, good beats, chugging only guitar, neglect easily bass, many keyboard synths, emotional clean vocal, screams...

that's it, nothing much.

their new work is pretty normal, but I still love it.

my fav of them is still their debut st album then.

for fans of Sonic Syndicate, The Unguided and Renegade Five.

modern rock lover can't let this go!!!

score 9.1/10

9th Architects - Lost Forever／／Lost Together

experimental metalcore! I'm not so crazy about this genre actually, but just like Iwrestledabearonce, there are some particular bands of this genre.

Architects is one.

I really don't know why people hate this so much (saw some reviews of this album, most of them are bad critical words.)

my first time to listen, I mistook regarding this as a recent work of Greeley Estates. = =

vocal is perfect for me, despite the spoke words parts......

breakdown is the highlight, with post-hardcore influence.

some songs even have technical death metal riffs, and good guitar chugging. well, nearly close to "technical metalcore" like ABR.

well, really excellent work of a famous English band. gj guys!

score 9.2/10

8th Jamie's Elsewhere - Rebel Revive

oh well, featuring so many famous vocalist like Tyler Carter... Need I say I love him very much??? lol (that's another reason for why I love Woe Is Me and Issues so much)

when Pauly went to OM&M, JE seems to lose an important pole of their tree of music, just like the line-up change of Blessthefall, Craig Mabbitt, yeah...

but, just when I decided to not mention them, here comes their new album, and, another time, stroke my heart string.

the whole of this album is emo post-hardcore with synth. but it's not synthcore.

clean vocal is really okay, alongside those famous vocalists.

unclean vocal is between the screaml and tear-out growl, nice!

a little short I think, if add two or three songs will be better.

for fans of early Woe Is Me and That's Outrageous!

score 9.2/10
