Emo Metal - Suck Or Great?

[yogsothoth]

Emo Metal!
A (kinda) new genre. Odd Project is the first band that i've seen that doesn't suck at emo metal.

For those who don't know what emo metal is, its a genre where the song will sometimes unexpectedly launch into shockingly violent metal outbursts just as the emo quotient reaches overwhelmingly sentimental levels (and vice versa).

Isn't it called grindcore?

[yogsothoth]

nooo, grindcore is like wecamewithbrokenteeth or ****....im dead.
grindcore is chaotic and heavily detuned.

[mmsven]

I don't like it.

[Raizer Sabre]

hmm, never heard of it, but it sounds different to say the least

Emo Metal? Dunno, I like the way Bullet For My Valentine mixes brutal vocals with cleans, perhaps I'd like it.

[yogsothoth]

its the contamination of metal. odd project is the only band to make it close to not sucking.

[Lone Wolf]

emo LOL

If you're referring to me, I said I wasn't stereotyped as anything a while back. If not, just ignore this post. :p

[jake2k3]

Personally, never heard of it. Any other bands you could think of that would fit into it?

[fastbreak]

Huh?

*goes back to listening to CCR*

[ClaptonManiac]

The closest I know to that is Metalcore.
Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine and that kind of crap.

But, if you count HIM in, I might believe that Emo Metal exists.

There's no such thing as emo metal.. if your refering to bands such as A7X, Trivium, As I Lay Crying they're metalcore (metal with hardcore influences), or bands like Bring Me the Hairstraightners they're 'deathcore' BMTH aren't a good example.. try All Shall Perish or As Blood Runs Black which yeh you guessed it deathmetal with hardcore influences. There is no crossover emometal genre, they're too dissamilar to mix really.
