KSE are about 5% hardcore, 95% metal. In fact, the only thing hardcore about them is the theme of their lyrics, which is relatively miniscule compared to MUSIC WHICH IS WHAT DEFINES GENRES.

I'd like to see two monkeys fighting a hobo.

We know who'd win.

I saw KSE live 2 times, and there is no fucking way you can tell me they are ever 5% metal. They are 100% hardcore.

And on top of that they suck. I realy hated watching them.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

at least someone agrees, their at most hardcore/nu-metal, there no way in hell theyre metal not by a longshot, theyre about as metal as a band called Ra who completely suck

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

theyre just another popular hardcore band that every1 is mistaking for metal, just like how every1 mistakes Hatebreed for metal

 

[LuminousAether]

Hatebreed are metalcore. They are about 50% metal / 50% hardcore.

Hardcore is a style of punk. As soon as the guitars play in that Swedish melododeath style, the band ceases to be hardcore and becomes metalcore, a style of metal.

KSE are not metalcore. I have seen them live, along with Shadows Fall, and I would definitely compare these bands to each other. Neither are hardcore OR nu metal, yet they get called as such by completely ignorant metalheads (a word which should be synonymous with moron) who claim that any metal band that they don't like is nu metal.

KSE is mostly melodic death with thrash and hardcore influence.
Shadows Fall is thrash with death and hardcore influences.

Solos are so overdone, it's about time metal bands don't have solos.

Maybe metal should get rid of double bass drumming or maybe distorted guitars. Solo's are what separates us from the apes (that and the opposible thumb). Seriousely, Solos are a good thing, they should be with metal forever, I don't want to hear any more poser talk from you man.

 

[skeptik]

What the fuck? Is everyone a poser that disagrees with you? I agree that solos are good, but that's personal preference. You can't rightfully enforce an opinion onto someone else.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

solos are fine in music, but only if they can strengthen the rest of it.lets face it every1 tries to force their opinion on others, thts what leads to name calling

 

[killthisday]

You guys should check out Howard Jones other band blood has been shed.

 

[killthisday]

you guys sound like a bunch of stupid hardcore kids right now, this is really funny.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

hardcore kids? i dont even care for hardcore

 

[Dreamer Deceiver]

Shouldn't this thread be in the "Non-Metal" section?

 

[Edgecrusher]

Listen to the song "Vide Infra" and try to tell me that that doesn't sound like Swedish death/thrash metal.

 

[MAGUS]

killswitch engage are bullshit. i -F U C K I N G- hate hardcore and all those metalcore bands who try to be metal. fuck those.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

same here, i feel they try to be metal but they just lack the balls to be as extreme
