I came for the prog, and was dazzled by the old school death metal sound. Really good single. Gonna give this a spin. Thanks! 

For sure! Glad you enjoyed it. They've got a great mix of stuff going on.

If you recommend it, it is bound to be good   Plus those FFO tags are godly, so I am hyped for this.  Album artwork is stellar too.  Thanks

Haha thanks! Don't get your hopes up too high as it is only their debut, but it's really strong imo. Excited for their future.

I can't wait for the album. I don't even care that they aren't really metal anymore, they are still brilliant. This song is great and only has me wanting more once again.

Almost like a prog audioslave. Haven't listened to it while driving, yet. Lol

Wow that's got me interested.

Very repetitive but catchy and fun nonetheless.

Surprised at the amount of attention this is getting, suppose the early leak helps with that. Can't wait to listen.

I just grabbed this one off Soulseek earlier today after a recc from a buddy, can't say there's anyone out there that sounds anything like this band (to be fair, I have not heard Cheeto's Magazine). I thought your description was as close to accurate as we're gonna get. Great upload, be sure to check it out everyone!

Check out Cheeto's Magazine's album Amazingous. It's a really fun listen, very nice light-hearted goofy prog.

Those are some big boy bands you compared this to. Hope you don't let me down.

E: Single sounds very nice, would also compare it to Cheeto's Magazine.

I was going to but then Knocked Loose came out and I looped it enough to make my brain saturated with core.

So it will have to wait a week or 2.

Lol I feel you on that, their new album is really fucking good.

The only band on Arising Empire I enjoy is Any Given Day.

 

You listen to any other band on them, you've listened to them all is what I feel. Then again, I'm not super into core so take this opinion with a grain of salt.

Not too keen on AGD but they're alright. Have you listened to Aviana's new album? It's pretty nice. Not super unique but executed really well imo.

Tbh this record label is giving me Rise Records vibes from back in the day with all the post hardcore / metalcore bands. Guess that's expected since its an subsidiary of Sharptone. Off that label I've found Alazka, Imminence, Novelists, Our Mirage and I think While She Sleeps is on there now. Only one I had on repeat for a while was Alazka

 

But after listening to this album, the cleans and intrumentals are good. Screaming is kind of bleh. I mean, I'm not gonna listen to it on repeat but what I listened to sounds alright. Like an album I'll randomly play while grinding some video game in the near future.

But that's the thing, if it's a metalcore or post-hardcore album and it's just alright, well... it's not really worth my time, or anyone else's time that thinks the same. Nowadays to be a good metalcore or post-hardcore band you need to stand out at least a little, if you're just okay then you'll be lost in a sea of mediocre bands. I never said it was bad either (not saying you said I did), just boring, average, mediocre, done-before. 

Great track. Really looking forward to more from them. They never disappoint.

Another boring core band on Arising Empire, who would've guessed. Only good band they've had recently is Aviana.

EDIT: I figured I'd get downvoted, but I'm genuinely curious when asking this: what do you guys that like this band like about them? I hear no redeeming qualities. They're not bad, just bland, to me. Can you tell me why I'm wrong?

I still like the band but I really miss the old vocalist.

Gotta give it to this band, they're really consistent.

Just now, Anton Chigurh said:

I might've over exaggerated them.  Their most recent album was incredibly boring (to me) and might as well have been the same song over and over.  Plus the riff to Make America Hate Again is the exact same riff pretty much to Puppet Master.  It was just more of the same stuff, only slightly less interesting. I just put TAIM for the lack of recent genericore obsessions on the site coming to mind. 

Yeah while I liked their newest album, I will concede that it is very samey. I did really enjoy Dear Desolation two years ago though, so it makes sense that I'd like the new album. Only song I didn't really like was Death Squad Anthem.

good fuckin lord

You already know this, but people here absolutely eat up the generic and objectively bad -core here (ala AA, WW, TAIM, etc...) and when a -core band actually writes a unique and interesting song because y'know, they actually mature and give a shit about the music, it is nothing but shit to those people lolol.

 

And before someone says it, yes, music can very much be objective as well as being subjective.

I don't see how TAIM is objectively bad, they have consistently good musicianship and songwriting for a deathcore band. They're not the best in the world but in deathcore, they're at the top. Otherwise yeah, I agree about the other two you listed.

This is neither deathcore nor tech death lmao. More like ambient progressive post metal. Still fire dough 

They used to be a tech-death + deathcore kind of band before this album, which is probably why it was labelled as such.

I like the idea, but she continues to not execute as well as she could.

What the fuck? I had no idea they were putting out new material!

Oh snap. Just had a bit of a dig on Facebook...it seems that it’s the vocalist I was praising in my previous post that they’ve written it about. I didn’t know...that’s awful.

How unfortunate. He's such a good vocalist, I like him for the same reasons you do. If you like that type of thing I'd suggest checking out the band Others By No One.

Oh right my bad I thought you were saying it wasn't Altenative Rock lol

Nah lol you're good.
