HERE’S A BAND NO ONE WILL REMEMBER IN FIVE YEARS

Thursday, October 1st, 2009 at 12:30pm by Axl Rosenberg

I’m holding their fucking CD in my hand I have to keep looking down to try and remember what they’re called.

Your Demise. They’re called Your Demise.

Because almost ten years later, taking any given attributive adjective and combining it with an ominous sounding noun or verb is still somehow an acceptable way for kids to name their metalcore band.

    It’s October, so I’m guessing these kids are gonna be Emmure for Halloween . . . and the rest of their career?

  2. \m/Eluveitie\m/ says:

    Why the fuck are you writing about them? More importantly, why the fuck am I asking this?

  3. jackattack says:

    You’ve been on fire recently, Axl.

  4. Uglymicrowave says:

    I checked these dudes out after i heard a song or two…that was back in june…I ALREADY forgot about them until now….

  5. Kuranes says:

    Suck.

  6. braincake says:

    too many bands sound like this.

    i dont really prefer the screaming/growl vocals, but can someone explain how they can like one band with a similar sound and not like this one?

    Not be a huge nerd, or nothin, but Your is not an attributive adjective, it’s a Possessive Pronoun.

  8. For hardcore, this wasn’t half bad.

  9. gnarlk says:

    oh those kids today….

  10. oBESTIALo says:

    c’mon, it wasnt that bad

  11. zhitnik says:

    I wonder if they will ever catch the irony of their album title (Ignorance Never Dies)

  12. Jason Shaw says:

    Oh, sweet generic recycled riff and vocal patterns. Anyone who looks like Andy Samberg shouldn’t be anywhere near a microphone…this includes Andy Samberg

  13. Mark Gavin says:

    I think I saw these guys at Thrash and Burn on the second stage when I got bored of the shitty deathcore bands, and they were just another shitty -core band.

  14. TXHellbilly says:

    Yeah this sucks…..bad. I will definitely be glad when this awful fad dies out. But then again, I really dig alot of the new thrash bands, Skeletonwitch, Municipal Waste, etc, and some people would call that a fad too.

  15. Grymmbear says:

    At least it’s not a 3-word band name with a predicate. ;)

  16. Scott says:

    I hear Jasta has filed a lawsuit against these dudes. (kidding, but he should)

  17. SergeantD says:

    This is so unremarkable I honestly can’t think of anything snarky to say :(

  18. Hairyman says:

    One of my favourite records this year. It keeps up a relentless punk-style pace throught with the added metal element thrown in for good measure.

    I like the electronic/dub-step/d’n'b interludes aswell. Keeps you guessing.

    Who wants to kick the flaming off then? Sometimes I wonder if any of you lot would actually knock me out for saying things like this to your face. It’s only music after all.

    • BadMongoMan says:

      Word.

      Also, If the average age of the bandmembers were 35 and ugly and not 19 and a half and pretty-boys, I don’t think so many of you would have a problem with this band.

      When it comes to the generic sound (allthough I agree): Everybody got to start somewhere. A lot of great bands make shitty music before they evolve into something exiting.

  19. This is what happens when drum and bass chavs go scenecore.

    lol, this is pretty awesome
