  • Y'all know I think Tom Barber is one of the best. And since I do what I want, we're talking about ‪@ChelseagrinTV‬ again. I love how they've pulled more death metal into this death core track, and good Sir Barber yet again elevates the track to perfection!

    Love the content man! I hope one day to see you react to some newer JFAC, anything off the Sun Eater album really. Jonny Davy is one of my favorite vocalists of all time, and he only got more twisted and demonic in his delivery as the band got better and better too. I know some people dislike his way of enunciation, but I always found it so fitting for the heaviness of the music. He did a live performance with Suicide Silence for Destruction of a Statue that was a pretty good demonstration of where he's at vocally these days, but Sun Eater has so many good tracks that demonstrate his range. Hopefully we get a new album from them soon. I know one was teased a little while back.

    Deathcore is definitely getting a bit "same-y"... but that's just what happens when a handful of bands within a genre have so much more success than the rest, right? Everyone wants to be like those bands.
    Right now, deathcore bands either want to be like Lorna Shore, Chelsea Grin, Shadow of Intent, Brand of Sacrifice or Darko... which just makes those being imitated stand out even more, to me at least.

    To touch on something you said at the end, I think art is completely subjective but that doesn’t mean there can’t be any objectivity within that space. It’s almost like math: the core axioms are arbitrary, but the conclusions of those first principles are not. Some people listen to music just because it’s catchy background noise, some people like technicality, some like atmosphere, emotion, etc. So you can say “this music is good/bad”, if you clarify the angle that your approaching from. Usually we just express this with the word “preference” which implies our own subjective tastes without explicitly stating them, but it would also be fair to say, “I think black metal is better than death metal because I like atmosphere” or “black metal is bad because I like production quality.”
