    Been on one of those Post-hardcore binges lately, after years of being disappointed and underwhelmed by the more mainstream variants of the genre (pop screamo and emo pop) that got played on radio, TV and some video games. I gotta say, Mathcore and Skramz bands like Botch, Coalesce, Heroin and Orchid really hit the spot, that harsh noise tinged chaos and raw punk energy is real here and I swear the intro to Swimming the Channel nearly got me to a trance, more Mathcore bands like this please!

    Amazing; the opening minute of the album is exactly what one of my favorite breakcore albums is based on: Grist by Drumcorps. Quite a new approach to what was being done in that space at the time; together with people like Bong Ra and Jaba laying the groundwork for Igorrr and The Algorithm.
    Thank you Botch, for going out on a limb, doing something new, being great.

    I also checked this out based on a comment posted from a DEP fan... I must say
    that I LIKE IT! Now, we can debate all day and night about what exactly constitutes
    "metal", "progressive", or "mathcore" but personally I think the whole subgenre
    discussion is a waste of time. Of course I don't want to take anything away from
    those of you who enjoy classifying the hard and extreme but wouldn't it be easier
    just to call it all "hard" music instead of haggling over the subtleties of the bands
    that play this style. Wow, these guys f---ing rock!

    • @DCsk8rgoelz
      @DCsk8rgoelz 9 років тому +3

      this is a question i see asked really often and a sentiment that even many bands (including this one) share but maybe i can shed some light on why classification is important. In a general sense it is a way of understanding/breaking down the music that you are hearing. More practically it is a way for people to discover music that they like and understand what it is about that music that is so enthralling. The facets that make up/are common in a particular type or of music (ex. blastbeats, palm muting, distorted vocals etc.) also help break down the history and progression of music by allowing people to make connections between genres. I will admit that it probably seems not worth it when there are so many people who argue vehemently about genres and use them and their knowledge as a sort of mark of status. the reality of this, as is the reality with just about any negative human interaction, is that you are seeing the vocal minority. People like that arent worth your time (i know how cliche and pedantic this is to say but its still true).

    • @deneseal5452
      @deneseal5452 9 років тому +1

      You make a very good point, and maybe the
      whole subgenre discussion makes for good
      dialogue between the different camps. Speaking as a musician I find it increasingly
      difficult to use labels since there is so much
      cross-over style-wise. And yes, classifications can be helpful when seeking
      out new music but I certainly wouldn't want
      anyone to be put off by something based on
      a label. I've often found it useful to just say
      "You might like this, check it out." rather than
      attempt to describe (inadequately, in many cases) what I am listening to. That being said
      I totally agree with the idea of classifying as a
      means of making connection between genres.
      Maybe I just like to paint with broader strokes
      because it's easier for me, I certainly don't
      expect anyone to follow my lead. You've
      given me quite a bit to think about, thank you!
