Synestia/Disembodied Tyrant - The Poetic Edda (EP)

[stuck egret]

1000TH COMMENT ON HERE BABYYYYYYYY, LET'S GOOOO

edit for later so I don't mess up the 1000th comment on the thread: DANG, NOW THIS IS SYMPHONIC DEATHCORE.
This is how you do it right, make it heavy, and make it groovy (sorry Lorna). And this cover of Antonio Vivaldi's Winter is CRAAAAAZY.

[stone crest]

Never understood the hate for lorna, their music fire.
+plus without lorna, disembodied tyrant prolly doesn't exist in my opinion

[signal iris]

no

[ripe kettle]

yes

[signal iris]

Lorna may be the biggest band with that style but they definitely aren't the first and by far not the best

[stuck egret]

I don't hate Lorna, I just think Synestia and Disembodied Tyrant did symphonic deathcore better.

[bold trout]

it's fair to say lorna popularized that sound

[signal iris]

a lot of bands are doing it better than Lorna

[bold trout]

^this tbh

not to say i dislike lorna

i loved their ep

their album was pretty annoying

imo, anyways

but i do love will ramos and i love austin archey

[stone crest]

Idk I just think without lorna, a lot of these bands wouldn't be as popular without lorna making the genre bigger

Just my opinion tho

[bold trout]

i mean there's no telling either way

i dont agree solely because lorna themselves are FAR more popular than these other bands

lorna have nearly 10x the amount of monthly listeners compared to synestia

i wouldnt say we're only talking about their ep because lorna popularized symphonic deathcore

[stuck egret]

Let's not forget the OGs of symphonic deathcore Winds of Plague.

[bold trout]

mhm

and other bands who were/are still quite big in the deathcore community like Shadow of Intent

[stone crest]

Well without lorna making the genre popular, people prolly wouldn't have searched for more in the genre. Not saying lorna is the only reason, but they are a huge part of the reason

[bold trout]

Carnifex too? i think?

they've been doing symphonic stuff for a while, havent they?

[bold trout]

again there's just no saying either way

i dont imagine a lot of people look up symphonic deathcore because lorna made it popular

if there's anything that bands have def done more because of lorna though

it's their got damn breakdowns lol

tremolo picking and blasting non stop

which can be cool but holy shit it's so overdone now

it existed before as well but not to this degree, i dont think

mostly because a lot of breakdowns back then were just "0... 0... 0... 1..."

[stone crest]

Another good older one is - As god is my Witness

[bold trout]

now it's just "000000000000000000000"

[stuck egret]

Never heard of that one!

[stone crest]

https://youtu.be/DAMjLy2rJ1Y?si=55_C4DzkduXnzfdD

[fleet salmon]

lets maybe like...just focus on the bands this thread is named for lol

all i'll say is that i don't consider Lorna Shore comparisons not only because hearing that said is getting old, but every other band in this conversation is a completely different kind of symphonic so its not even fair. Lorna is symphonics weaved into the background as an added layer with black metal influence, this Synestia/DT EP is beyond symphonic, very classical (obviously, they covered Vivaldi lol), and Shadow of Intent's kind of symphonic is different as of late compared to how they used to do it. before it was (no shit) very Halo-esque, in the latter half of their discography its like a melodeath band gone symphonic, with some serious Fleshgod Apocalypse influence

[slender owl]

Holy crap

This is amazing

[spice brook]

WE GOT TO 1000

LETS GOOOOL

[sinful obsidian]

We have 62 emojis

[slender owl]

[versed gulch]

YEAAAHAHAHAGAHAGSGS

1,500 next

[versed gulch]

I feel like it would be different without lorna, but they can have a pretty hectic fan base that believes they are the "chosen ones" of metal. A lot of band have that. Lorna popularized the sound sure, but a lot of bands did it better way before lorna did, and iirc lorna did it with immortal firstly... idk. I don't think it would be as big of difference if lorna wasn't as popular

And even still, another band could've popularized it even if lorna never did

Imo, this is the most true symphonic deathcore you can pretty much get out of it

And top quality aswell

You have your Shadow of intents, worm shepherds, but this one is unique in that since of the truest of all symphony you could get in this genre

And for such a small project/band, they completely bitch slapped a lot of us as to the possibilities of what makes symphonic deathcore

But hey, that's my opinion on the matter. Not do discredit shadow and other various symphonic deathcore bands, because they each so a fantastic job with the music they make

[prisma epoch]

I said it earlier and i'll say again i think the most captivating part to me is the storytelling through both lyrics and music

The orchestral/medieval themes in the music and the lyrics telling of the lead up to ragnorok are perfect, as well as the use of deathcore to convey the story

[sinful obsidian]

I have no idea what the lyrics are lmao

[prisma epoch]

This absolutely earth-shatteringly heavy music used to tell the tale of the earth literally shattering, lol

[prisma epoch]

On all the videos the lyrics are on screen as like closed captions

which honestly i wish more bands did

also video for I, the Devourer when?????

[sinful obsidian]

Oh lol

[prisma epoch]

been on that song since it came out and i'm really happy with where this EP ended up

especially the full dedication to the story

Imagery in winter comes to mind with this

Winter talks about Fimbulvetr, the three-season-long winter immediately preceding ragnorok, and starting with that elk, which in norse myths symbolizes peace and prosperity

and fertility

then cutting to wolves, generally representing chaos and destruction, then skeletons of herds of elk

final transition from the balance of normality to the events of ragnorok

very very cool story

and told in a very very cool way

[versed gulch]

Yea I've followed this journey since I, The Devourer showed up on my daily mix last year, since then I was waiting patiently to the point if I saw a notification on Spotify regarding the poetic Edda, I screamed while at college waiting for a class.

This was a journey worth waiting for because not only did we get some of, if not, the best symphonic deathcore imaginable, but probably one of the most important pieces of music in modern metal

This did so many things right that more bands should take note of

And for a small band such as disembodied and synestia, they came in and shook the room. These guys deserve all the love and attention they get for this beautiful display of music

[versed gulch]

but yea.... music

[sinful obsidian]

lol

[prisma epoch]

music indeed

does anyone know like which version of the seasons would be the best to listen to

found one we good

[covert needle]

[prisma epoch]

Knocked loose better

[covert needle]

this ep is a perfect masterpiece, KL is damn amazing but to say it’s better is just wrong, they are both great in their own ways

[stone crest]

We could just say disembodied tyrant is the best deathcore, and KL is the best hardcore. Is that to much to ask?

[covert needle]

Perfect!

[versed gulch]

YALL DONE BROKE THE FUNNY NUMBER

OH MY GOD

[foggy tide]

Fuck them pyscho frame is on the lineup

[stone crest]

What's wrong with psycho frame

I’m saying I’d rather see pyschoframe

[covert needle]

the lineup is unreal

[versed gulch]

I'd say worth it

[covert needle]

[spice brook]

SHADOW OF INTENT WHAT

[versed gulch]

yee

[stuck egret]

I'm HAPPY THE RED CHORD IS UP THERE

[sinful obsidian]

As a half Russian I recognized winter quickly by the intro, it’s a cover by this Russian artist, but thats hilarious I never thought of it going deathcore💀

[bold trout]

wait who is the russian artist here?

am i missing something?

[sinful obsidian]

The song got covered by a Russian artist that made the song back in like 1940-1980, forgot the exact date

[sinful obsidian]

Where is this?

[bold trout]

ah would make more sense

[sinful obsidian]

Yea hearing it brought back memories when I was a kid, best cover of all time ngl

[fleet salmon]

Antonio Vivaldi isn't Russian

and he wasn't alive in 1940

[versed gulch]

I think in the UK

but idk

[sinful obsidian]

Damn. Guess I’m not going lmao

[versed gulch]

I found it. It's the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival

[bold trout]

he's saying the song was covered by a russian

[tacit nexus]

brand os sacrifice

where is this

[stone crest]

Wonder if Antonio Vivaldi is related to Angel Vivaldi

[crystal skiff]

asking the same question too lol

btw, is there any album similar to this?

like straight up deathcore/metalcore versions of the classical musics?

[fleet salmon]

not that i know of. the only band similar is Shadow of Intent, but they aren't classical

[sinful obsidian]

Intent my shadow

[stable garnet]

I just got around to this and HOLY FUCK. I'm only into Death Empress and my face is starting to peel off my skull!

[stable garnet]

Imminence has violin but it's kind of sparse.

Ok, here's the objectively true ranking for this EP: ||Death Empress = I, The Devourer = The Poetic Edda = Winter||

All of this just

FUCKS

[bold trout]

it's just perfect

in every way possible

[stable garnet]

You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect deathcore EP. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.

[slender owl]

It's pretty solid

I had a huge smile on my face the entire time I listened to it

[prisma epoch]

i share your excitement lol it's the best release so far this year

haven't listened to the KL album yet but i wanna enjoy the poetic edda a bit longer before I do

[stable garnet]

When people miss the Alien reference

[prisma epoch]

ngl havent seen alien

[nimble tartan]

Okay this made me want a new SoI record even more than before

[prisma epoch]

i need to check out SoI

love ben duerr and love symphonic deathcore

[fleet salmon]

yes you do

[stone crest]

What happend to this thread? It was so active

what is there left to talk about lol

[versed gulch]

the day of the loose being knocked happened

[stable garnet]

I like Knocked Loose, but it has nothing to do with this EP.

[versed gulch]

I mean more attention went there than here

and honestly, deserved tbh. They beat sleep token's numbers

[azure solar]

Finally got to this

This shit goes so fucking stupid

12/10

Me want more

[versed gulch]

Time to message here so people don't forget this amazing accomplishment in deathcore history

[prisma epoch]

oh ofc

still listening to it

[slender owl]

It's really really good

[prisma epoch]

even listened while vr gaming it gotta be good

[covert needle]

This is probably the most enjoyable deathcore record i’ve listened to

it just fucks in a way others don’t

[versed gulch]

this and the recent Depths of Baciu album and Ammeona are top 3 deathcore releases this year

darko bout to knock one of those down a notch

[covert needle]

I can’t wait for the darko album

[nimble tartan]

Darko gonna go crazy

71 minutes of crazy weirdness and breakdowns

[inner shadow]

Would be fun

But I think we have that emotional song on the record too

It will be fun to listen how they put it in crazy breakdowns and pure filth

[bold trout]

wouldnt be the first time

[stone crest]

71?!?!?!

Damn

[jagged tide]

tbh i'm just excited for the track with garrett russel

that's a dream collab right there

[nimble tartan]

I am absolutely in love with this guitar tone, especially the low end is soooooo good

[peak pine]

i was listening to the EP in school today

so fucking amazing

i love everything about it

[prisma epoch]

i would like to mentiont that The Divine Stigmata is also quite gas

[nimble tartan]

The obsession's slowly starting

[versed gulch]

This is now the 4th largest post

[inner shadow]

Still banger

I listen to ep almost everyday

[versed gulch]

Same here

[inner shadow]

Time to message here so people don't forget this amazing accomplishment in deathcore history

[gray saddle]

winter is probably one of my favorites

[slender owl]

Agreed

I'm a huge sucker for metal versions of classical pieces

[versed gulch]

this will be a long lasting thing for the future

We need this to surpass sleep token so it can become the 3rd largest post in here

[stone crest]

Then we need to wait until sleep token releases another album

[inner shadow]

How many messages?

[worldly crescent]

1733

[versed gulch]

We can make that happen

[versed gulch]

Daily reminder that this is peak deathcore

Must keep this chat alive

[fleet salmon]

yes

[versed gulch]

they fucking deserve it

it's some of the best deathcore I have heard in my life

like legit easily top 5 deathcore for me

[stone crest]

Might be my number 1 band rn

[inner shadow]

So good ngl

Disgusting breakdowns, calming melodies. It has everything!

[prisma epoch]

like i said i hope this brings more attention to The Divine Stigmata as well

absolutely fantastic EP

[slender owl]

I need to give this another listen

[next tinsel]

It's a certified hood classic

One of those eps I'll be coming back to every year

[jagged tide]

this better fucking win ep of the year in the nik nocturnal awards

i mean who's gonna beat it

[signal iris]

Greyhaven

[jagged tide]

counterargument: i haven't listened to it so it doesn't exist

(/j)

[signal iris]

nah Greyhaven won't be voted as EPOTY anyway, just wanted to share the best EP of the year into the conversation

[inner shadow]

This gonna be EPOTY.

Consider me reminded

[next tinsel]

Death empress last breakdown makes me weak

The levels of anger

Are unmatched

Dude just sounds PISSED

[stone crest]

Song is defo going in my try not to headbang for the entire year

[next tinsel]

This is some good fucking deathcore

[stone crest]

Winter to

[next tinsel]

It's actually interesting

Unlike most deathcore

[fleet salmon]

^me but with most metalcore

[polar mortar]

me but with all deathcore except this and darko

[naive sun]

Terrible take

All 3 of you

[stuck egret]

Good Deathcore: This, Darko, The Acacia Strain, The Red Chord, Whitechapel, Shadow of Intent, As Blood Runs Black, Winds of Plague, early Born of Osiris, early Veil of Maya, Angelmaker, early Bring Me the Horizon, To the Grave

I'm probably forgetting some but that's some bands I know I enjoy

[naive sun]

Yeah that’s what I’m saying bro where is the acacia strain at

[signal iris]

good list except Darko

[naive sun]

Yall talk about them the least

[stuck egret]

Emmure too

[naive sun]

Emmure

[signal iris]

Fit For An Autopsy is good

[naive sun]

Emmure is its own genre

[stuck egret]

Emmure's more nu-metalcore tbh

[naive sun]

It’s like deathcore and hardcore with bits of what metalcore should be

Prog metalcore

[stuck egret]

Emmure? Prog?

[naive sun]

Progressive

Idk if there’s a difference I thought prog was short for progressive

[stuck egret]

No, it's just that I would not really consider Emmure to be progressive metalcore

[naive sun]

Ahh okay yeah that’s fair

[stuck egret]

They are nu-metalcore

[naive sun]

Yeah they are nu-metalcore though now that I think about it

[stuck egret]

Mhm

[naive sun]

I really like signs of the swarm though

Ngl

Especially death whistle and all of amongst the low and empty

[next tinsel]

naur

only good takes from us

[stable garnet]

FFAA MENTIONED

[naive sun]

hell no

that also means you agree with that one guys metalcore take

which again hell no

[next tinsel]

i mean when it comes to modern metalcore alot of it is pretty samey

[naive sun]

fair but that doesnt mean its not good or interesting

[next tinsel]

some of it can be pretty uninteresting

like silent planets album

[jagged tide]

hating on silent planet in the nik nocturnal discord is a death sentence

[signal iris]

Silent Planet is a pretty bad example for uninteresting metalcore lol

[next tinsel]

i just found the newest album not that interesting

besides the singles

the singles were pretty good

[signal iris]

interesting and good is a difference tho
Antimatter is one of the most interesting metalcore songs i know. and songs like Signal, Euphoria and Nexus are interesting too. the new LMTF album for example is not nearly as interesting even tho it's more enjoyable

[next tinsel]

yeah you make a good point there

[stone crest]

I haven't even heard the album from silent planet ngl

[next tinsel]

its worth checking out

has some good tracks

[signal iris]

gotta listen to it only for Antimatter

[next tinsel]

best tracks are dreamwalker, antimatter, and collider

by far

[signal iris]

Antimatter, Euphoria and Nexus

[stuck egret]

Collider was my favorite song off of that album, especially with the descending guitar riff.

[next tinsel]

the chorus is what got me

TASTEFUL autotune is so nice

[jagged tide]

i feel like the title track on that one is underrated

ik i like emotional stuff a lot more than most people in this server but still

[fleet salmon]

"good list except this" "except that" bruh

some of y'all don't find deathcore interesting, others don't find metalcore interesting, whatever. its not a "bad take" to have a difference of opinion. why are we even talking so in depth about this in the release thread for an EP that's been out for a month. just enjoy the music

[inner shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/wholesome-pyra-xenoblade-xenoblade2-gif-20496409

[naive sun]

[versed gulch]

You forget, metal community doesn't know what an opinion is

If this was an album, it would not only win aoty for me, but many people will compare it to lorna

Wanna talk about metal community, I can't go two seconds without someone comparing anything symphonic deathcore to lorna

[fleet salmon]

a person in Nik's twitch chat earlier compared the new Oceano to Lorna lol

[versed gulch]

god

[versed gulch]

Even Nik himself tried comparing this to Lorna by saying "I usually don't care for bands that try to out Lorna Shore, Lorna Shore"

it's fucking everywhere and I cant even take it

[stuck egret]

It's like GUYS, NOT EVERY DEATHCORE BAND WITH SYMPHONIC/ATMOSPHERIC ELEMENTS IS LORNA SHORE

https://tenor.com/view/busu4s-cats-kittens-funny-animals-mind-blown-gif-7860681

[versed gulch]

as soon as I heard nik say that in the reaction, I just banged my head on my desk

[stuck egret]

Like, I get a band like [Insert CJ's Band Here] getting called a Lorna Shore clone. That makes sense. Essentially, yes, it is. But a band like Oceano? No. Not in the slightest. At least not with the track I heard.

[versed gulch]

I didnt even hear it yet

[next tinsel]

what??

nah you can hear the guitar in the mix its not lorna

all jokes aside it doesnt really remind me of lorna at all

[left egret]

It’s also the noises for breakdowns that people compare to Lorna

[versed gulch]

Lorna Snore

[slender owl]

Imagine hating on Lorna Shore lmao

[next tinsel]

im not hating

they have good songs on pain remains

but i do have gripes with the music

[slender owl]

Fair enough

[stone crest]

I don't think I can hate on them, they were my intro to the genre, (which is now my favorite genre)

Just like i can't hate on After the Burial, they were my intro to heavy music

[prisma epoch]

ATB fucks

Saw them opening for ||Knocked Loose-uh I mean|| Motionless, great frontman he had great energy on the stage but then the crowd was just 🧍‍♂️

[stone crest]

Btw, it was specifically Lost in the Static that got me into metal

[prisma epoch]

good pick

for a solid 6 months I had fucking behold the crown stuck in my head

[stone crest]

Ah yes, as nik said, the wee oo song

[prisma epoch]

I'd be like hanging w my buddy or walking to my dorm or just walking around and he would play the harmonic riff like quietly or from a distance

fucked w me for like 3 months

[stone crest]

I prefer their older stuff ngl

But lost in the Static was the first metalcore song I ever heard, 2nd was Their is no business to be done on a dead planet by all shall perish, the 3rd song I ever heard was In dying days by As blood runs black

[versed gulch]

I love atb, and their older stuff has a lot better guitar riffs

I do love their most recent album tho

[polar mortar]

This is a great ep but i don’t think it would keep my interest for an entire record

It’s better as it is

[versed gulch]

I feel like they could do more with an album

probably about 8-10 songs maybe

nothing too crazy

like Darko

honestly, these two collabs are very interesting and are rather unique for what they are trying to do. I feel like if they do get together again, they could get something a lot better

[polar mortar]

Darko is aoty atm

But it has way more variety than this so it doesn’t get stale despite its length

[versed gulch]

def

nothing can really come close to beating darko this year

unless by the grace of god a band releases something never heard before

[polar mortar]

I mean if loathe drops

It will be my aoty

Regardless

[versed gulch]

if loathe drops after 4 years

that would be insane

[polar mortar]

they keep assuring that they will this year

[versed gulch]

I still gotta go through their stuff

[prisma epoch]

not sure what loathe will drop tho. Could be more ambient stuff, could be more metalcore stuff, who knows

[versed gulch]

but I hear nothing but good things

[polar mortar]

And every artist who’s heard stuff from it says it’s the second coming of jesus

[prisma epoch]

their discog has no real pattern or consistency

[polar mortar]

We know it’s not an ambient album lmao

[prisma epoch]

so i am intrigued to hear what htey have to put out but am not expecting I let them in 2.0

[prisma epoch]

well yea i was joking w that one 💀

point still stands tho. they have a sound for each album but not really truly for the band themselves

[polar mortar]

It’s probably gonna be some crazy evolution of their sound

Hmm

That’s not exactly true

They def fit into like

Heavier shoegaze

With more ambience

[prisma epoch]

maybe I have to listen to cold sun again but it is very different from i let it in and it took everything. I could be trippin balls cause its been a while but I remember little to no shoegaze on cold sun, then I let them in has golden example modern shoegaze

[polar mortar]

The cold sun and prepare consume both have those elements too

[prisma epoch]

prepare consume is what I haven't listened to enough

[polar mortar]

Idk we’ll see

[prisma epoch]

yea there's truly no telling

[polar mortar]

I’m expecting a late year release

Singles prolly gonna start rolling out around aug/sept

Then release nov or smth

[prisma epoch]

just gonna wait and see

[stable garnet]

Same here.

[prisma epoch]

did you happen to be at the orlando show bc the crowd there SUCKED and I hope it was an isolated event

[stable garnet]

No, I was in Milwaukee with a friend. Crowd was great there.

this is just me, but i don't see how Mirar is better. the only compelling track from that EP is the last song. i'm not a thall fan, although i usually don't mind it. but the Mirar EP is just...guitar noises. and its the same guitar noises continuing over and over for each song, and with no vocals. some cool moments overall, but it was just overkill. too much

[slender owl]

I can definitely see where you are coming from

Both are heavily inspired by classical works, but they each take a very different approach to it

I really enjoy listening to the Poetic Edda a lot, but Mare just tickles something in my brain.

Idk they are both works of art in their own right

[signal iris]

you just described thall👍

[versed gulch]

I like thall for the most part. I didn't hear the ep fully other than snippets

But my preference for thall is vocals aswell. Mirar is goated so far, but inreally wish it had vocals to top it off

[misty hawk]

yea i showed this thread to him last night

was suprised how interactive everyone is about it

Theres been alot of misconceptions of how serious this ep was supposed to be and hes glad this thread is just about the songs instead of trying to find some undercover meaning in the musics

its just supposed to be orchestral infant on steriods and 10 buckets of horse semen

[versed gulch]

[next tinsel]

As it should be

[versed gulch]

I don't really study or look at hidden meanings myself for music, especially deathcore

I hear funny Vivaldi, my brain goes vroom

[next tinsel]

Death core lyrics aren't that great alot of the time

But these lyrics were fun to read

Really interesting stuff

It's not serious which is nice

[versed gulch]

Is it bad that I still don't know the lyrics to the songs except for a few parts in winter

[next tinsel]

Need less serious songs in metal

[misty hawk]

yea he took my writing style from stigmata and turned away from christian stuff into nordic shit

[next tinsel]

Nordic lyrics are fire

No clue what they mean but they sound cool

[versed gulch]

He nails it heavily!

[misty hawk]

yea hes a genius

[gray saddle]

how is it that people understand deathcore lyrics

ill get one or two per song

[next tinsel]

I read them

[versed gulch]

Over time, you can pick up on certain words if you are used to the genre

I can do that for some stuff but not fully

[misty hawk]

Funniest thing was when he told me he was writting the nordic ep the only thing we knew about vikings came from god of war ragnarok lel

[versed gulch]

[next tinsel]

LMAO I COULD TELL

[misty hawk]

we both played it and was like dude you have to write a song about this shit its too sick

[tacit nexus]

holy shit

[misty hawk]

ye i be doin dem screamy tings

[tacit nexus]

that is cool asf

[next tinsel]

We do a little anger here and there

[versed gulch]

Tell Blake that we all collectively love his stuff and can't wait to hear what more he does in the future!!

[tacit nexus]

also the fact that i love Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship

[versed gulch]

(I hope he covers Mozart next)

[next tinsel]

We want more

[misty hawk]

Oh i dont think theres no more covers coming BUT big big big shit is on the way

[versed gulch]

👀

[misty hawk]

the reception of the ep was not unnoticed at all and super big boomy bams is otw

[next tinsel]

As long as it sounds anything like this ep

I'll love it

Cover or not

[misty hawk]

it like wont but its a good thing tho cuz the new stuff is better

[tacit nexus]

666 monthly listeners lmao

[misty hawk]

he pretty much peaked at whats possible with symphonic classical music

[gray saddle]

im messing that up rn

[tacit nexus]

same it looks cool asf

[next tinsel]

Well that's subjective I enjoy orchestral death core more then anything

[misty hawk]

i didnt even notice that

[gray saddle]

being better than this ep would be difficult

[tacit nexus]

im gonna listemn to it now

[misty hawk]

trust me he blew this ep out of the park with the new stuff

[gray saddle]

u cant you'll mess up the 666

[versed gulch]

Yea, imo this is what peak symphonic deathcore is

[tacit nexus]

lmao

[next tinsel]

You probably can't say much but I'm hoping for symphonic elements

[versed gulch]

I'm excited now I'll definitely be on the lookout for anything new when he posts it!

[misty hawk]

hes transcending how brutal deathcore can get. Like that jump from 2012 deathcore everyone was doing then Infant annihilator came out and completely changed everything

[gray saddle]

wait so did u do vocals for the ep or u were with disembodied tyrant before this

i havent been paying attention

[misty hawk]

I did vocals for the eclipse pt 1 ep and The divine stigmata

The Poetic Edda is blakes first release solo without my involvement whats so ever

[versed gulch]

Oh damn

He nailed it entirely

[gray saddle]

oh alr

ill listen to those two

[misty hawk]

literally he shitted on everything and is continuing to

Hes a king and will continue to be trucking on to piss on the scene no CJ

[versed gulch]

[versed gulch]

Question tho. Will Blake be exploring different themes lyrically or stylistically? Like let's say Egyptian or medieval type of stuff?

Like really push the boundaries of this genre?

[nimble tartan]

Hell yeah, give me that symphonic deathcore mythology saga

That would be so freakin dope holy shit

[misty hawk]

I cant say just know you wont be disappointed

[misty hawk]

your not thinking big enough but its there

[stable garnet]

Egyptian
Shokran?

[versed gulch]

[versed gulch]

I'm looking forward to it

[inner shadow]

holy moly

dayum we reached the artist ❤️

please telll him to produce more stuff

[elder sandal]

Us trying to keep this discussion alive. Day whatever. Banger Album. Just relistened the poetic edda. Still way to good for this world

[nimble tartan]

Honestly, I dont need this thread alive, this EP is living in my head rent free and I'm loving it

[versed gulch]

this is ep of the year for me

best deathcore even of the year

[ripe kettle]

Mirar >

this would've easily been #1 last year tho, still 10/10

[inner shadow]

Ep of the year

No doubt until now

[elder sandal]

And its already half of 2024

Blake just turned Disembodied Tyrant from a solo project to a band, with the guitarist and drummer of Fallujah!

[versed gulch]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[inner shadow]

They gonna tour

Lfg

[versed gulch]

bro

if they tour in my city

I will buy tickets in a heartbeat

like im not even joking

they could cost $1000 and I'll pay to see them

also this

we are about 200 away from beating Sleepy Token

[fleet salmon]

LETS DO THIS

[stuck egret]

WOO

Symphonic

Classical

Deathcore!

That's my contribution.

[nimble tartan]

TIL Disembodied Tyrant was a solo project

winter's breakdown🤤

[fleet salmon]

spooky breakdowns are the way to go

[versed gulch]

this is legit some music right here

like the best music

[inner shadow]

we want our ancestor to be included too

[covert needle]

randomly obsessed with this EP all over again

[fleet salmon]

i never stopped

[inner shadow]

Same

[versed gulch]

ep of the year

just

no beating this

[inner shadow]

I've played it so many times that one of it's songs might get most played song this year

[covert needle]

Greyhaven is still a very close contender for me

[versed gulch]

Winter is by far my most played song of the year

it has to be

if it isnt

then life is over

[inner shadow]

Tru

[fleet salmon]

i know at least Death Empress will be part of my spotify wrapped

[nimble tartan]

Can an EP get AOTY? After this, I sure think so

[inner shadow]

Ep gets EOTY lol

[versed gulch]

This whole ep will be in my wrapped

[prisma epoch]

yeah ima listen again

i just wish there was a video for devourer to complete the cinematic short film 😔

[misty hawk]

there was gonna be one put out but those things are expensive af to make

too get over 50 clips about the same shit all in 4k with no stutters or copyright is an impossible task in of its self

but to buy all of the clips and then edit them together in 4k cost well over the budget

[prisma epoch]

that is totally fair tbh, I'm honestly glad we got the ones we did. Would be cool for it to be complete but definitely doesn't have to be, it still fucks hard either way

[nimble tartan]

Wouldnt be surprised if these would end up being my top 4 songs on Wrapped this year tbh

Been listening daily for like 3 weeks now

[nimble tartan]

Nvm....twice a day in many cases such as today. Might become 3, idk

All other deathcore just sounds like shit compared to this

[fleet salmon]

^thats a stretch, as much as i love this EP

[nimble tartan]

Kind of but also not really.

I'm fr, whenever I listen to anything deathcore I'll just be thinking about this the entire time instead

[fleet salmon]

thats crazy

[nimble tartan]

I aint proud

[versed gulch]

I'm just a deathcore lover at this point

This ep is by far some of the best deathcore I've heard

But I have other bands I like and even smaller projects I think more should know about aswell

But my god this ep just set a bar for what symphonic deathcore should reach towards

[inner shadow]

Guitar goes tulululu and dum dum

[versed gulch]

Petition to make Winter the official deathcore Christmas song when?

[fleet salmon]

i already added it to my christmas metal playlist

[versed gulch]

On god

The only Christmas metal song

[fleet salmon]

Brojob would like to have a word with you

[inner shadow]

You guys have Christmas metal Playlist?

[fleet salmon]

mostly deathcore and death metal Christmas

[stuck egret]

Not Deathcore, but August Burns Red makes good Christmas metal

[fleet salmon]

The Sound That Ends Creation has a Christmas EP that's less than 5 minutes long

Winter will always be in my top 5

[slender owl]

I love that song so much

[tacit nexus]

yes

[tacit nexus]

apparently some guy named Vivaldi made a violin cover of it

[sick nebula]

They actually made Winter scary

like the last part of the song literally made me nervous

[slender owl]

No way actually?

[tacit nexus]

yes

can't believe it lol

[slender owl]

That's crazy. Maybe it will become famous someday

[foggy tide]

Dam can’t believe he learned the song that quick

[spice brook]

Bro this has been out for a whole 2 months

Plus theirs sheet music for it

Cause it’s a actual piece

[placid furnace]

Oh yeah that choir adds alot

[placid furnace]

Wait are you trolling

Vivaldi wrote winter - four seasons....

Ohhh wait...

Syn and tyrant just based the song off of winter

gotta agree here, insane EP but there is no more to be said

MY FINAL WISH IS TO LET THIS DIE AT 2000

it lived a long life

but now it will be remembered as one of the greatest threads, best deathcore release of the year, peak deathcore, and best EP of 2024

[covert needle]

it shoulda died at 1500 or so

[versed gulch]

the main goal from the start was to beat sleep token

we've achieved that

[covert needle]

i STILL can’t figure out if i like this more than greyhaven

[versed gulch]

now we must die at 2000

[covert needle]

Both eps are sooo gooood

[versed gulch]

i'm biased for symphonic deathcore, so this mixing classical elements checked every box i could ever imagine

[covert needle]

Yeah definitely same

but Greyhaven is the best metalcore released this year

almost wanna give them both #1

[left egret]

Get it to 2024 to mark it as the song of 2024
