back in the day I judged for being "emo"re-listening to City of Evil, this shit is pure heavy metalthey never went this route again, but how many modern mainstream bands can say they have 1h of pure 100% unadulterated heavy metal in their catalog?
>>128233769shame their singer sucks

>>128233769Find it hard to believe you were called emo listening to this since they were never emo to begin with. It's weird they were ever on warped tour and shit like that.
>>128234021oh i meant to say "I judged them for being emo"you're right either way
>>128234021they definitely had that aesthetic though
>>128233769>>128234021>>128234044its funny cuz if you look at Converge shows back in the day no one looked emo, everyone was wearing khakis and polos lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6eUERc7fK0
>>128234030I got you, anon>>128234044They did. I remember reading in multiple cd booklets of bands I enjoyed and they all thanked Avenged Sevenfold. I went to listen after and it just wasn't my thing at all. Super weird they were lumped in with that scene. More power to them though.
>>128234044If you wear eyeliner and paint your nails, everybody is gonna think you’re an emo fag no matter what your music sounds like.
>>128233769I never understood the A7X stigma. They're not my favorite or anything, but they're alright, a pretty fun band overall. My best guess is that a lot of metalheads just hate any kind of upbeat melody and think metal music should never use major tonalities whatsoever.
>>128234058It's splitting hairs but Converge are metalcore and they definitely dressed more bro-y compared to the emo dudes. You see pictures of Poison the Well and it's the same thing. Everyone's dressed like substitute teachers or cast members of Boy Meets World.
>>128234097Metalheads pretty much hate everything. You gotta overlook them.
>>128233769musically not bad, some kino songscan't stand m shadow's voice though, and i'm hardly alone on that
>>128234186waking the fallen vocals were actually good, other than that yeah you're right
>>128233992Calling him singer is being too generous, he just squeals
>>128234212it was pure chest voice even when going high, it ended up blowing his voice so he's had to take vocal lessons and changed the style completely, developed his iconic nasal characteristic that a lot of people hate
on their best album they even had metal/punk mash up song called second heartbeathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyu34GvpZhk&list=PLpSW6gVRk77Gd17_uvc8eIwd7go93USFv&index=1
