A Long Awaited Tragedy - Prelude





















ALAT was one of my favorite bands to ever come out of my area. Both of my old bands used to play shows with them a lot. They're great dudes. They weren't the most orignal band by any means, but they brought an interisting mix of post-hardcore, death metal, Acacia Strain type "beat-down" breakdowns, and even some You And I-ish screamo-esque metalcore.Trav's vocals are one aspect of the band that are somewhat unique, and an aspect that many people either loved or hated. Great raspy, desperate sounding highs, voice cracky mid-range vocals similar to Hopesfall, great guttural lows, and the main aspect that people always love or hate: this intense, raw, almost power-violence meets tuffguy hardcore vocals, of which I'm a personal fan.

If you're looking for an extremely varied deathcore album, that stands out among the monatiny of that scene, I highly suggest you check this out.

The highlight tracks are definitely Here's The New Beginnings, When We Die, We'll All Live Forever As A Feeling, and Parachutes

Mikoto - Demo 2004

This band features ex-members of Taken (maybe just member?). I know for a fact it's the same vocalist. Cleans sound exactly like Dallas Green. This demo is definitely their most Taken-esque release. I absolutely love it.

Check it out.

Hypnosia - Extreme Hatred




















Hypnosia is pretty cool retro thrash/oldschool DM from Sweden. Great high raspy vocals. Really cool RIFFS. Lots of HATE, AAAARRRRGGGGH, and SATAN.

Heather Grey - Demo


















Heather Grey is a two-piece from Allentown. They play a mix of post-hardcore, post-rock, and post-metal, lol. I know it sounds like a weird, possibree dumb description, but the point is these guys are pretty ridiculous. They're vaguely like Hella and Fall Of Troy, almost, but those are really just bad comparison's local kiddies make. They have a kind of heavy, almost Misery Signal's-esque sound at some points, while other points are all over the neck of the guitar like Tera Melos into beautiful melodic interludes reminiscent of Explosions In The Sky. Support these guys, they're solid dudes.

Cle Dix - See You Next Naturday demo



















Cle Dix (they're actually undecided on a name, but I think this one and James Frydrych And The Men are their best ideas) are my homies, and I love their music. They're great guys and great musicians that play post-rock-y indie, heavily influenced by Modest Mouse.

Harrison Bergeron - Dead Bergeron






















You know when you were like 15 years old and you really started getting into your local scene? You know how there were some good bands, and then there were some actually exceptional bands? Harrison Bergeron is that band from the Lehigh Valley. Absolutely breath taking to say the least... their live set was like everything you'd expect if someone were to say 'emotive hardcore...' but not chalk full of cliches, just realness and passion.

This album catches that passion perfectly, like that last breath of a dying flame, Dead Bergeron is burgeoning with intensity, emotion, and honesty. In the one year of their existence this band blew my mind harder than anything else I've ever witnessed, and I think everyone who can should try to get their hands on this.

This album is ballin. Great atmosphere. Great vocals. Kind of black metally, kind of post metally, kind of metalcorey, extreme elitery. Outrageous fun.

INTRODUCING: BRING YOUR OWN DEATH



a new fuzzy rock and roll band started by the madman from Mycroft Holmes, or rather yet, this is Mycroft Holmes' new band. lots of bands start up like this these days and are described as fuzz pop, pretty bad description, i think i'd rather call this fuzz rock... they sound more like a rock and roll band or probably the beach boys when they were really bored and didn't want to talk to one another anymore so they'd ruin their careers and record these songs than some bad 80's pop duo >:^} take that those of you who care about genres! all in all it's very good, the same dark and gloomy soft sound textures found in Mycroft's single work but made complete with pounding drums and very pretty sounding burnt out guitar/bass tones. snowy eyes happens to be the jam.

Coheed and Cambria



I have a very varied fascination with this band. i've loved since i was probably 14 years old, maybe 15 and i still find them very exciting to listen too. even though i will agree that their last albums are total stinkers (with a couple of hits within them) i won't hate this band ever in my life. here in Neverender, they display their initial display of quirky guitar playing power which made the album Second Stage Turbine Blade a nice addition to any collection. this is a live collection which means that each night is different album the band released played live.

this is my favorite band.
