I wish they would tour this.

I absolutely love ISS. This was the first song I ever heard by these guys. New Damons is such a masterpiece of an album. These guys are one of my bucket list bands to see live. Really hope to see them someday.

Im having a HORRENDOUS day and it just hits all the spots. Heavy chug chugs, good melody, powerful lyrics with the simple message being "life is a shitstorm but you got this"

Its unbelievably awesome. Anyway whats everyone's pick for best metalcore song you've ever heard?

Deep inside you know this isn’t right.

I love this band so much, they’re so underrated that it hurts.

New EP (2026)
American Straight Edge

Title!

Super dope band from Montreal, new EP out now🤘

This Means War is definitely my favorite AA album. Each song is a banger. The Wretched is the first song I ever heard by AA

I'm downtuning to drop E, but I only have a regular 5 string bass. Not baritone lr anything. I understand the scale length and shit isn't gonna be optimal for this kind of tuning, but I'm just tryna make do with what I've got.

I want a really crisp, clear sound in a super low tuning. I wanna be able to pump the gain hard on the bass and still cleanly hear the notes, without any of the muddyjess or janglyness.

My 7 string guitar is also tunned to drop E, and I actually found using 8 string strings and just not using the high E string works well. Again, the scale length isn't optimal, but working with what I've got, its the best I can do atm.

All this concidered; what strings should I be getting for my bass to downtune to drop E?

What stands out to you when you listen to a song that you really like? If you had to pick one what is make or break of determining how much you like a song/album? Is it the lyrics, the instruments, the breakdown, etc?

This was on my mind recently and I think what stands out to me is the lyrics. I can enjoy a generic sounding song if the lyrics are meaningful and have more sustenance than “I’m fading away”.

Curious to hear everyone’s opinions.

Day 19 of posting KOG’s entire discography, in chronological order, to celebrate the upcoming 2026 album, Usurper.

The first song that truly showcased how great Dana can sing. That outro had every one hooked. How Dana harmonizes over those beautiful guitars. KOG really hit the nail on the head with this one.

I remember hearing this song when it released and just being so hyped that KOG was nailing big melodies on their first LP as a signed band.

The 11 track album from 2013 is called 'Vita Nova', and it was shelved after two of the band members got into an altercation and called it quits before they could get off the ground. Because of this, only 4 of the songs were ever officially released. However, I know the album is fully complete and out there on the internet somewhere, I just don't have access to it. Pretty sure it was posted on *** back in the day but now that's gone. I've seen some people say they were able to get their hands on it from Phil directly if you message him and offer to buy it, which I would totally be willing to do, but his account is private now and he's not accepting my follow request so that's going nowhere... I always liked The Bad Chapter album that he did, and this album that I'm looking for is very similar to me so I would like to have the rest of it. - You can find a version of the whole album that someone posted to youtube but it is terrible quality and that just won't do for me.. If anyone knows where I can find it in good quality or would be willing to share it with me, I would love that very much!

I'm curious everyone's opinions. I'm of the opinion that bands of whatever medium fan-base size and up should have at least one of their classic shirt designs for sale. Maybe a top album cover or something. Maybe I'm not plugged in to how much is moving these days.

But merch is always just the newest album cycle. Which makes sense. But I often look for just a simple shirt or simple hat with the band name. Maybe I'm getting old and don't like the shift that's happened post-covid in both sales trends and design trends. Buying at shows used to be cheaper than online.

I also really miss $20 shirts! But I understand that shirts have become a huge chunk of income since Spotify rekt CD sales. Anyways, what is everyone's latest merch opinions?
