What Belsameth posted Check out the album Blackwater Park, it's very good melodic death metal.

Not desperately easy to find but.... ooh! ooOooOOoh @ Face of Melinda and Drapery Falls. Also To Bid You Farewell seems nice but the one i d/l'd seems to cut off halfway through.
First impression is that it's like Cradle of Filth, mellowed a bit, and with their lead singer shot and replaced by someone who's not a 30-year-old career loser who can't sing.

Check out Harvest. It rocks \o/ Mikael Akerfeldt can really sing when he isn't growling, it's a pity that he growls at all really. It'd be near-perfect if he didn't. Their latest album is entirely acoustic and he sings on every track and doesn't growl once. It's great :>

 

[old.LandShark]

I like the contrast between the acoustic and the electric guitar, also the voice would be great if I could bear more than about a minute of cradle-of-filth-style (or whoever-did-it-first style, whatever ;P) I-liek-teh-satan screaming. Still, the overall effect is good enough that I can listen to it and enjoy it, but I don't think I'm about to become the world's biggest Opeth fan
(especially as I just re-found my Tool - Undertow CD. Yay!)

You spend far, far, too much time trying to label stuff

Thursday is not emo. I appreciate that as far as new bands go they may be fairly influenced by the style but they are just another alternative punk rock band in my opinion.

The term emo or emocore as the style was originally called is short for 'emotional hardcore'. Hardcore ethics are as such 'diy or die'. I fail to see how a major label band such as Thursday can therefore be called an emotional hardcore band.

If you like Thursday check out some 'real' emo, bands like:

indian summer, i hate myself, mohinder, page99, anasarca, honeywell, guyver-one, julia, moss icon, the hated, shotmaker, sleepytime trio, don martin 3, plunger, phillippé, amanda woodward, candyland carcrash, yaphet kotto, balboa, standstill, orchid, joshua fit for battle.

The list goes on, but that's a good representative of the different styles of emo. These bands were mostly around in the early 80s to the mid to late 90s. Most emo bands were together for no more than a few years and released records on small labels, played shows for next to nothing or free and never really made much money except perhaps enough to live off, and that was the successfull bands.

The use of the term 'emo' nowadays is mostly a bastardised version used to label any pop-punk or alt. punk rock bands who sing about girls and whine a lot. This is not what emo is/was about.

ive listened to thursday since 'waiting', and i still cant find any better name than "emocore" to label the music.

 

[mirieth]

Well, it's not emotional hardcore, so it's not emo .

Try out some of those bands I listed, compare them to Thursday, and tell me if you think they sound the same.

Ah, but I don't.... I just find it curious/amusing when other people do. And when someone tells me they like post-industrial hard emo gothcore!!!1! it just confuses the fuck out of me. I just thought the thread might be informating or at the least informative

 

[Ekydus]

Liar.

You're just after some good songs to add to your KaZaA folder.

heathen
their first 3 albums are clearly the best they ever produced, after that the music got more polished while the raw emotion got ripped out :|

 

[mank!]

That's why they became more melodic. I prefer melodic.

 

[Belsameth]

that's very true, esp. Orchid is almost black metal

doesn't make you less opf a heathen tho

Why do you all seem to like death metal and screaming-crap-fest-hardcore-no-tune-rock?
It worries me people all seem to like this type of crap and are actually having debates about it. :/

 

[mank!]

It worries me that you care.
