This band coalesce has raised an interesting question I ask myself.
So, i've been listening to punk for so long yet rarely ventured into metal outside of a few bands.
Ive stumbled across some metal before, but never got super into it.
Coalesce is a very interesting band, at least based off of the album "0:12 seconds" It isn't totally metal if you ask me, but its close yet distinctly different, though it is noted there are hundreds of metal subgenres just like punk.
It makes me question why I never got in to metal much before, outside of a handful of bands. Like I treat it like okay a couple albums and songs i like but I know there's more.
So lets see. find me a genre, folks. I like hardcore punk. as mentioned the bands bad brains, minor threat, bad religion(early, for this purpose though i like most of their stuff old and new). I like technical complexity. It doesnt have to be, but at the same time I like it and I know metal offers it, so yeah. I like instrumentals.
What do we do? Give me some metal albums and i may or may not listen to them at some point.
This could be a real education right here folks. metal U
still tha hardcore topic but we can do whatever here at the same time.
Do you have any issues with more "extreme" vocal styles? I've always assumed that was the main turn off for most people when it come to hardcore-influenced metal. Another one of my favorites is Catharsis who are labeled with a lot of genres including anarcho-punk, brutal hardcore, blackened hardcore, and crust. They have some awesome lyrics but good luck understanding the guy. Maybe you're already aware of them. Their whole discography is great, but here's an example:
