A COOL NEW SONG AND A SHITTY ONE

 Friday, June 12th, 2009 at 9:45am by

If more mainstream hard rock bands sounded like Halestorm I’d like a lot more mainstream hard rock.

Meanwhile, Whitechapel remind me why deathcore is a waste of my time.

That is all.

    halestorm wtf whitechapel kicks ass

    • Skeeter Biggins

      Agreed

      • http://dgmetal.org The Daily Grind

        This is one of Whitechapel’s worst songs, and not that great of a video.

  • ferris

    Halestorm’s been in the game a long time, and the singer can reeeealllly sing. Plus, she’s hot. Metal they aint, but as VN says, all the shite that passes for hard rock should be so solid.

  • http://www.jesse-flip.deviantart.com Jesse Flip

    i likes me some whitechapel

  • http://www.welovemetal.com We Love Metal

    Halestorm is great. I never knew they were around that long, but I hope they get their due soon.

  • wheelchairLOL

    Meh.

  • blueEye

    has to be a joke

    • Kevin

      Yeah both bands blow..

  • Jimmy SawFinger

    A serious question here, What would be so wrong with Whitechapel that would make them a waste of time? I only ask because i don’t really understand the hate that “core” music gets.

    • http://www.myspace.com/uglydirge aaron m.

      i don’t really like them because all of them sound the same to me. whitechapel i find particularly offensive, not because of their musical content or their lyrics, but because they have 3 fucking guitarists. i mean, seriously. do they honestly need 3 guitarists to bring the “br00t mosh”? fuck that. there’s one band that can do that, and it’s fucking iron maiden.

      • Metal Fuckin’ Dave

        Kudos sir….You read my mind with that last sentence.

  • Fink

    Alestorm > Halestorm

    Honestly, I don’t love it, but then again, I don’t love much in the way of hard rock.

    And Whitechapel is, as always, just… eh.

  • Santi

    well in my opinion I just think deathcore is shitty, generic, immature scene kid music.

  • blueEye

    Halestorm? Really? That shit was painful to my senses. Funny thing though, Whitechapel actually has a song about that Halestorm chick and it goes like this:
    As I hack your lifeless corpse with my chainsaw
    My heart beats faster every swing I flay
    While smiling at your face
    Don’t fuck up the process. It won’t be much longer until you die
    Just lat me have my fun and I will let you die in peace
    Oh wait. I lied. False hope is my new trend
    Disgusting I know but that’s the general idea of me.
    Follow me into hell.
    Faint footsteps behind you. Run
    I’ll find you don’t bother hiding
    I know when you’re alone I will fulfill myself
    Now you’re begging me to let you go
    I laugh at such pitiful cries
    Sodomizing your orifice
    Now you crawl away
    Worthless. Wretched. Foul slut
    Open throat profuse bleeding
    Pray
    Screaming doesn’t help you now just give into my will again
    Dry your pitiful eyes and wipe the phlegm that I’ve been hocking in your face
    This confidential lick of my tongue will be taken to the grave and never be seen again
    Looking up from hell you weep
    Your sins have overcome your faith
    I can’t wait to have a taste a year from now I’ll have my feast

    • The Greys

      Yuck. Misogynist much?

    • http://www.myspace.com/ihopeyourot Dave

      you should have been aborted

      • dthrasher

        the biggest problem with metal today is that its being invaded by a bunch of pussies

    • James

      wow, blueEye, can i suggest you seek mental health help? you may not like the music from halestorm but to be that evil toward anyone is messed up. i would hope the person who owns this site would contact the authorities and report your post. i would venture to say this is a serious offense that should be checked out.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Amir-Antonio-Palma/777253992 Amir Antonio Palma

        Dude, it’s just music. And the band has a theme behind it, their first album “The Somattic Defilment” had a theme, “Jack the Ripper”. So expect something gory and brutal.

  • Sean

    Whitechapel wouldn’t be bad if they got rid of the horrid vocalist and silly lyrics.

    Halestorm is ok, but I’m pretty sure I’ve already heard that done by Joan Jett in the 80s

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Amir-Antonio-Palma/777253992 Amir Antonio Palma

      silly lyrics? Dude point out the silly lyrics and do something better please.

  • http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com Jimmy

    Whitechapel is one big breakdown.

    • Viridian

      A big breakdown with 3 guitarists at that

      • Seth

        If it was one big breakdown, wouldn’t it be wigger slam and not deathcore????

  • MOOSE_KNUCKLE

    I think Whitechapel have some pretty cool heavy tunes, i’m not an immense fan of the whole deathcore thing but as long as the music is interesting enough i can totally enjoy it. I’d say whitechapel are one of the better deathcore bands around.

  • Zombie(really)

    YES!!! IWABO RULES!!!….whitechapel sucks…….what?

    • lolwut

      hahahah win but yeah went to summer slaughter last year ( for vader) saw these guys live they sucked dick bought a cd any ways the somatic defilement i think sounded fucking fantastic great rifts blah blah chug chug breakdowns but dear god they need to learn how to keep in time

  • metalvinny

    Whitechapel is a great band, don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. They have some serious chops. I hate when people write off entire genres. Review bands for the bands they are, not for the genre they play.

    • joshkid

      dude, the only guy in the band that has “some serious chops” is the drummer. No fuckin’ great guitar work or riffs here, just one breakdown after another. “Fuck your face” how brOOtal!!!!!!!
      Suicide Silence is way better.

      • metalvinny

        Wrong.

      • Corey

        But the lyrics aren’t “Fuck your face”, it’s “Fuck your faith.” Seems like something you metal heads would enjoy.

        Huge whitechapel fan here so take this with a grain of salt: I love the band. Yeah, they are one big breakdown after another. they could lose one of the guitarists and be fine and the vocals are pretty cookie cutter for the genre. Drummer = amazing though. Can’t count him out at all. The lyrics are jack the ripper themed. Their entire first album was all about serial killing. They continued it on this album, too. Not as much, but they did continue it.

  • metalvinny

    Way to be metal, metalsucks.net – with your Black Eyed Pea banner ads!

    • poopsmcgee

      LOL i didnt even notice. how embarrassing for them.

  • Paul

    Halestorm is a big meh. The lyrics are pretty stupid.

    Whitechapel has GOT to be a joke. Honestly, when the guy started, um…”singing” I thought it was satire.

    • metalvinny

      Have you ever heard metal before?

      • The_Kak

        Bahaha i was thinking the exact same thing

  • joshkid

    I saw Halestorm live. Really great stuff!!!

  • Fucktard

    Both bands eat dicks… That is all. Please proceed with the regularly scheduled programming…

    • joshkid

      I would let her eat my dick anyday… lol

      • jwean

        no doubt man. if the lyrics are indeed true and she gets off on me getting off on her…well then who am I to tear down her dreams? Might as well help the girl out

  • poopsmcgee

    man one day i want the real cookie monster to start a metal band to make all these posers look like the tools that they are.

    • dick?

      cookie monster, oscar the grouch, animal from the muppets and the great gonzo should start a thrash band.

      right?

      • ell

        Absolutely.

  • dick?

    whitechapel=shitty vocals, bad riffs, misogynistic themes and a bullshit albums i’ve listened to all the way through and still hated.

    go haelstorm. please save rock and roll?

  • Sin and Death

    Is Halestorm fronted by that fag who won American Idol? The resemblance is uncanny!

    Seriously though, I saw Halestorm live a few months back, and I was unimpressed. I hated their drummer, guitarist and singer. I would have hated the bassist too, but for lack of stage presence, he gets a free pass. I hated the drummer because he kept doing that stupid stick-twirly-thing, which drives me up the wall. The guitarist was acting like he was Yngwie Malmsteen, and the singer pushed me over the edge by playing to the crowd, saying “You guys really know how to show up for a rock show! YEAH!” Come on, guys, the 80′s ended ’bout twenty years ago.

    In summary, I don’t get off on Halestorm.

  • Tim

    Halestorm sounds like Kelly Clarkson in her rock and roll mode, and that is not a compliment. If this is what passes for radio-ready hardrock nowadays, no wonder people aren’t buying the shit. If you want some good hard rock, track down the last Dozer record, Beyond Colossal: it blows this shit away.

  • Beastmaster

    Burn in hell Metalsucks. I love Whitechapel. And Halestorm sucks the big one. BTW, the poster who said Alestorm > Halestorm was dead-on.

    I still love you guys.

  • Tim

    I gave Whitechapel a chance, I’ve seen them several times and listened to them plenty but it’s so uninspiring. They think that lyrics about necrophilia, tuning way way down, and constant breakdowns are what makes you heavy, but all I can think when I hear them is they’re just not as heavy as they like to think they are. By the “rules” yes, they should be heavy, but they just don’t have the talent, creativity, or groove to be heavy. You can be heavy with an acoustic guitar if you’re doing it right. They are a band that, as opposed to saying hey let’s write music said hey let’s write the heaviest freaking songs ever so we can be known as the band that writes the heaviest freaking songs ever, and the result is just as dead and lifeless as it is when someone tries to write a pop song or a rap song or whatever just to fit a certain paradigm. They’re boring, plain and simple.

    • SolaceInNothing

      He he, i just realized my post is kind of coming from the direct opposite view from yours. Just wanted you to know I wasn’t like directly attacking you or anything just a bit of a coincidence.

      But I still disagree and you should read my post and tell me what you think! : )

  • SolaceInNothing

    I thought similar to Vince Neilstein when it came to White Chapel. I personally love bands like All Shall Perish and Suicide Silence but i was under the impression that WC was one of the “coat tails” bands. That was until my freind who I trust very much when it comes to metal told me that “This is Exile” was really good so I broke down (no pun intended) and bought the album and I was pleasently surprised. “This Is Exile” is a solid metal album period.

    If you like only super technical music or eclectic prog, then I guess WC wouldn’t be for you. If you only listen to straight blast beats then I guess everything else would sound like a break down to you. Personally I like death metal with grooves. Like Bloodbathe or Aborted, White Chapel does not have straight blast beating all the time, they feature many very heavy power grooves and thats what I personally like about them.

    WC are not exactly reinventing the wheel but they sure as hell drive the shit out of it.

  • BEARDY

    wow what a crock of bullshit, how much do you get paid to plug awful bands like that???? srsly if you want to look at hot chicks and listen to music…. it’s called porn, the more you know, because knowledge is power

  • Balls666

    I find it hilarious that instead of bashing Whitechapel because you don’t like them, you decide to oust the entire sub-genre. All you pussy-ass metal snobs out there are too busy looking for shit to hate and none of the good stuff out there. You are the waste of time. See how I’m wasting my time on you now? Fuck you. This isn’t even about defending Whitechapel. Fuck them, and metalcore.
    But do me a favor, all you sad excuses for aficionados at the Metalsucks outhouse, why don’t you make a list defining what each little pathetic sub-genre is, because for every “shitty” style of metal out there, there’s still at least one band in the category that is good. I’m tired of people adding “core” to the end of every style.
    What’s next DOUCHECORE? With all the writers from MetalSucks in the bands, desperately trying to justify themselves to assholes exactly like themselves
    So, now just because there’s a breakdown you’re allowed to throw “core” at the end of it? Or is it the clean vocals in the middle? No one knows because faggots like you keep making up new shit to call it.
    Strangely enough, you guys never focus on which is good, you just dig up mediocrity and praise it like you fucking wrote their music for them. Fuck you.

    -BTW- faggot doesn’t imply you are gay. Its just what you all are

    • destroyer666

      Wow…I wish more people were as logical as you are dude

      • Balls666

        Thank you for appreciating my rant

    • Anus Apache

      THANK YOU.

  • dustinyo

    I’ll admit, I like some deathcore, but I can’t fucking stand their pre-pubescent fans. If your idea of moshing is looking at the floor and wildly flailing your arms around and kicking then please do the rest of us a favor and kill all of your scene friends, and then yourself.

    I should be able to watch a show without having some 15 year old’s fist punching me in the face. The emo/scene kids today are making it really really hard for metal to be taken seriously because let’s face it, you’re all a joke. Put on some pants that fit, take the stupid ass plugs out of your ears and LEARN HOW TO MOSH LIKE A REAL METALHEAD YOU FUCKS!!!! I can’t even enjoy a live show anymore when it’s all ages. I can’t focus on anything else besides how fucking stupid you kids look, and how angry and depressed I am that you shitheads are the future of metal..

    Ok, done ranting…

    • Trelard

      Agreed

      Last time I was at a show some dick decided to think he was Bruce Lee and kicked me in the back.. many ppl saw that and me breaking his nose after.. no-one saw a thing of course and I even got a few “good on you” remarks after. I fucking hate assholes like that.. Mosh yeah, but kicking and punching? Prepare to be hurt little boys. I beat the shit out of a security guard, front row, for punching some kid for crowd surfing and the kid was all of 110 pounds dripping wet (all the kid did was fall into his hands from over my head).. I walked out with barely a scratch when the cops came to intervine.

    • Balls666

      Thank you. It had to be said. I’ll crush those little assholes and grind them into a fine powder. The best part was when I went to Lamb of God and that shithole band As I Lay Dying came on and I decided to take out those little fucks one by one. Funny, they flail their arms a lot more when you stand on their throats.

  • dude

    and yet another generic breakdown from whitechapel

  • T

    That song is the only marginally acceptable thing from halestorm…the rest of the album sounds like pink

  • jonowev

    Most Whitechapel is excellent. This Is Exile was one of my favourite albums of 2008. And that’s coming from a big fan of ‘true’ death metal.

  • Hate_eternal

    Yeah seriously disappointed, I though I read Alestorm. That halestorm band really sucks balls. Whitechapel also sucks major donkey balls but I have to admit they do have some good songs here and there. But when they came to play here I just left the venue (I mean come one, how can these guys even tour with the mighty SUFFOCATION!!!), I just can’t find any interest in them

  • Metal Fuckin’ Dave

    I’d honestly take Whitechappel any day over this Halestorm. In fact, seeing the Halestorm video clears up a mystery for me. I heard this track on the radio but didn’t catch the name of the band. I just assumed it was Pink trying to be metal or some such horseshit. They look a lot cooler than they sound. Basically the opposite applies to Whitechappel. Not a huge fan of theirs or anything, but comparing the two songs makes me realize why I listen to the heavier end of metal most of all.

  • 36thoughtless

    Halestorm…What the fuck?

  • 36thoughtless

    Oh, and this Whitechapel song…boring as hell…

  • Willie

    Halestorm = Nickelback with a chick singer.

    Not a compliment. Especially when you consider Chad Kroger’s got the superior chick hairdo.

  • satanus

    halestorm its not bad at all…
    but dude, obviously whitechapel kicks that band ass easily

  • Manaces

    halestorm sucks is fucking gay

  • Leviathan696

    i actually like both songs and whitechapel kicks major ass live

  • SamuelTheDestroyer

    Whitechapel is AMAZING!!

  • b-rad

    it’s really weird to see Halestorm break out suddenly… they are from my area & it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that it was just Liz & RJ playing shows at ages 14 & 10 respectively.

  • blindruin

    what is this hate on whitechapel day your calling whitechapel pussies they dont sound like pussies i like halestorm but i like whitechapel better the only pussies here r you haters and the singer of halestorms pussy

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Amir-Antonio-Palma/777253992 Amir Antonio Palma

    I really wish you guys and gals would stop ripping on Whitechapel, instead of ripping on em, go put together a band thats so fucking perfect to you, see how your band gets another cunt hole ripped out of you.

  • JesuFer

    Halestrom vs. Whitechapel? it’s like asking if I want an amputation or terminal cancer…

    Dark Castle on the other hand, now that’s where it’s at.
