INSANE

calm plaza

#

and honestly

#

holy fucking shit.

#

this is immaculate

#

fucking album of the decade

#

edge of infinity was such a nice emotional closer as well

#

insane run

tiny creek
#

I've still got about 6 hours until it comes out

#

really looking forward to tonight

calm plaza
#

Holy shit dude, its worth it

#

Its absolutely nuts

#

Ive never heard them do anything like this before

#

This album differs completely from shrine fracture era and the rest

#

Idek which song should i tab out and learn

#

Tho i doubt thatll be an issue because i physically am not able to play any of those besides maybe like Dying Sun LMAL

#

Too difficult istg

rose orbit
#

whole album is hype

alpine scroll
#

What a fucking MASTERPIECE dude holy fuck

keen pike
#

listened to it like a few hours ago but forgot to post here lol

#

great album

dawn kraken
#

great record

#

wish the guitars were a bit louder in the mix

#

but all things considered not a big deal

#

8.5/10

#

edge of infinity is actually peak

#

cant wait to hear some of these tracks live

tiny creek
#

This was superb

#

Though I think I need to listen again once I'm fully awake

#

hands of sin is still my favorite so far

fallow flower
#

Dying Sun and title track goated

viscid mortar
#

Loved this. Sick riffs and the usual heavy that bfw do well. Can't wait for the headline tour

nimble estuary
#

Starting this without have listened to any singles

#

Gonna be fun

harsh cosmos
#

This was amazing

#

A hope in hell still mid and known by no name sounded really quiet

#

But perfect outside of that

frail zodiac
#

Will listen to this soon

dawn kraken
#

i personally think its a top tier song from them

#

the chorus just goes so hard

#

i just love their songs with the signature huge choruses

harsh cosmos
#

Still think it's the weakest on this one but it's not awful by any stretch

dawn kraken
#

my least favorites are god complex and known by no name

#

wait no

#

known by no name is fire im thinking of a different track

#

idk i listened to it late as fuck last night lol

#

dying sun is lethal

#

i love that song so much

calm plaza
#

A hope in hell is amazing

dawn kraken
#

a hope in hell, violent nature, edge of infinity, zenith

#

insane

calm plaza
#

Ngl EVERY song off tgat album is at least an 8 or a 9/10 imo, at least 7.5. Though only complaint I got is the Immortal Desire chorus, i heavily dislike the feature's voice ans the melody is kinda mid lmao

dawn kraken
#

peak bfw

calm plaza
#

IPOYH as well

#

Whole fucking album is so fucking good

#

My top 2 woild be Hands of Sin and Edge Of Infinity probs

#

Dying Sun is also sooooo fucking groovy and insanely cool

dawn kraken
#

hands of sin with the old mix would of been my favorite

#

but it just sounds off to me now

calm plaza
#

Ah ye ure the old mix enjoyer

#

I was the one who hated it

#

Lamo

#

Lmao*

#

Duality of bfw listeners

dawn kraken
#

its still an amazing song

calm plaza
#

It is

dawn kraken
#

the chorus is amongst their best

calm plaza
#

I was surprised that for ME Buster absolutely butchered the mix

#

Made it soo mushy, 0 clarity

#

Couldnt even tell the words from clean vocals lol

dawn kraken
#

edge of infinity is honest to god one of their best fucking tracks

calm plaza
#

Lrt alone riff notes

dawn kraken
#

i wish the guitars were a tad bit louder in this mix but it doesnt bother me much

calm plaza
#

Agreed*

#

I love how groovy thw breakdown of HoS is

dawn kraken
#

and i get to hear this live :)

calm plaza
#

JEALOUS

#

I hope to hear it as well in september

dawn kraken
#

im just curoius on what they play live

calm plaza
dawn kraken
#

edge of inf is one of the best album closers ive ever heard bruh

#

i cant get over this song

#

this album is just great

#

i wasnt expecting much

calm plaza
#

But i feel like

dawn kraken
#

8.5/10 maybe even a 9

#

this is just great

calm plaza
#

The guitars are nice volume

#

Because it has so many layers

#

Regarding harmonies and octaves

#
  • synths
dawn kraken
#

and its not a big deal

calm plaza
#

That they just mixed it into 1 big wall of sound

calm plaza
#

Known By No Name is yhe one that I felt needed thr guitars louder

#

Drums n synths were really dominating there

dawn kraken
#

that and dying sun (even though its one of my favorites) i wish the guitars were a bit louder in some parts

calm plaza
calm plaza
dawn kraken
calm plaza
#

But i feel like the volume on Sun was perfect

#

Because it was highly ambience based song

dawn kraken
#

yeah i get that

calm plaza
#

As they used

dawn kraken
#

dying suns ending breakdown

calm plaza
#

Octave down drop B

dawn kraken
#

ive not stank faced that hard

#

in years

calm plaza
#

And only single string on the riff layered

dawn kraken
#

that groove is so fucking vile its insane

calm plaza
#

Thats atl what i could tell off of liste ing

calm plaza
dawn kraken
#

surely they play it live

calm plaza
#

I was caught offguard so hard by that

dawn kraken
#

it feels like its meant to be one of the big songs

calm plaza
#

^

#

Alongside infinity

#

Bro Steven's vocals in Infinity's first chodus

#

Are probably the

#

Most emotionally ascending voices ive heard

dawn kraken
#

the ending of dying sun sounds like a war happening in the back

#

i love the dark undertones of this album

calm plaza
#

Yea i thought the exavt same

#

P sure thats whag its about

#

Dying Sun means the end of humanity ig

dawn kraken
#

considering he sounds like hes fucking dying at the end of edge

#

i think i agree

calm plaza
#

Yea

dawn kraken
#

which was really cool

calm plaza
#

Itd such a dark album

dawn kraken
#

i loved it

calm plaza
#

Nothing like Shrine

dawn kraken
#

shrines best songs were better then this

#

but as an album

#

this is better

calm plaza
#

Tbh

#

Cant even tell psrsonally

#

I love bpth too much

#

Ig edge of infinity is the Paradise (shrine) of Zenith

dawn kraken
#

but levitate, temple of lunacy are some of my all time favorites from them

#

so im bias

calm plaza
#

Oh definitely

#

Minr are Shapeshifter and Pathfinder (fracture)

#

So im all over the place

#

But their sound has evolved soooooo insanely much

#

It got REALLY industrial in this album

dawn kraken
#

the end of all we know is top 3 for me

#

this was a good change in sound

calm plaza
#

We didnt really have any synths in the last 3 albums iirc

dawn kraken
#

but i did like shrines mix more

calm plaza
#

Shrines mix suited shrine

#

But i think zeniths mix serves it nest

#

Best

#

Regarding the vibe they went for

#

Its way darker

#

Same with fracture not probably being as good with a diff mix because its a very thrashy album

frail zodiac
#

Big thread

dawn kraken
#

when i was listening to the last track i was just doing the ''absolute cinema'' stance lol

calm plaza
#

LMFAO SAME

#

I was doing it most of the album

#

Shits insane

#

Tho i feel like they

#

Overhyped Violent Nature tho a bit in their instagrams compared to some other tracks

#

I was expectong more from it regardong being more memorable compared to the rest

dawn kraken
#

yeah the ending with the piano notes is a tear jerker i gotta be careful with that one lol

calm plaza
#

Same

#

Steven's vocals and goonzi's lead in the beginning

#

And scott's HUGE final chorus

dawn kraken
calm plaza
#

Its like Paradise all over again

dawn kraken
#

i like it alot more then paradise

calm plaza
#

Regardong the riffs

dawn kraken
#

shrine had a few problems like trying to sound huge as fuck with levitate/damnation but failed to deliver a consistent sound, which this record did alot better

calm plaza
calm plaza
dawn kraken
#

idk its just my opinion and what i like from them

calm plaza
#

But i personally more like albums yhat got diff types of sounding songs thrown into it

dawn kraken
#

levitate feels many steps ahead of the rest of the album

calm plaza
#

So it would add some variety

dawn kraken
#

but i also feel the same way with fracture and the title track

calm plaza
#

Songs*

#

Sorry not albums

#

Lmfal

#

Lmfao

dawn kraken
#

''overthrone'' is underrated as fuck

calm plaza
#

Though wouldnt be wrong because i feel like shrine is defo top 2 with zsnith

calm plaza
#

I love that steven commented Good Job under my Overthrone guitar cover lmao

#

Chemical Carnival is also hugely slept om

dawn kraken
#

shrine is great i just like bfw most when they are going for a more ''epic'' sound but i get most of their fans love them for the groove

#

so i never try to complain

#

too much

calm plaza
#

Its such an unique song eith those riffs

#

And the will to resist got me instantly hooked for a month or more nonstop

calm plaza
#

Shrine is their most "epic" sounding album tho no?

#

Besides Zenith

#

Fracture and Era were both very thrashy

#

And fast tight riffing based

#

And colony was just the most classic deathcore

dawn kraken
#

but its been growing on me alot

calm plaza
#

I see

dawn kraken
#

my problem is levitate is one of the best modern metalcore songs ive ever heard and alot of it is me being sad the entire album doesnt sound like it

#

lul

#

sovergin is insane aswell

#

''ITS A SOVEREIGN STATTTTTTTTTEEEEE'' into that godtier solo

#

fracture has its godtier fucking riffs, shrine has its super epic, groovy songs

#

and zenith has a bit of everything but its alot darker of a record

#

pretty fuckin great album run

#

i do wish fracture had more songs like title track

#

and the end of all we know

calm plaza
#

Oh fracture track is insanely good

#

I agree

#

I really loved the breakdown

calm plaza
#

Agreed

dawn kraken
calm plaza
#

It was so djenty with those gallop stop breakdowns

#

I like that they used the same typo gallops in Into Nothing as well

#

Pathfinder is top tier Fracture song tho

#

Imo

dawn kraken
#

every bfw album i get a new obsession and this one is dying sun lol

dawn kraken
calm plaza
dawn kraken
#

pathfinder is top tier i agree

calm plaza
#

From era to zenith

#

Even colony tbh

dawn kraken
#

ive not really checked those out

calm plaza
#

Same with colomy

#

But era is amazing

dawn kraken
#

but from what ive heard its alot more on the thrashy side which i dont reallllly care for

calm plaza
#

The groove in Ruina is crazy

#

Alive got insane riffs

calm plaza
#

Afterlife is amazing as well

dawn kraken
#

alr

calm plaza
#

The chorus is top tier

calm plaza
dawn kraken
calm plaza
#

its pretty good

#

kinda like if zenith and fracture had a child

#

but obv nowhere near as developed because its their 2018 album lmao

frail zodiac
#

Great album

nimble estuary
#

Great album

#

8.6/10

frail zodiac
dawn kraken
#

pretty fair rating

#

it'll 100% be in my top 10

tiny tinsel
#

good album

alpine scroll
supple chasm
#

album was just above mid

#

nothing really new or interesting. just a standard Bleed From Within album

#

6.5/10

rose orbit
#

THEY DON'T NEED TO BE BECAUSE THEY'RE SO AHEAD OF THE CURVE!!!!!!!!!!

#

🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

dawn kraken
#

''AND I WILL WALK TO YOU........I WILL TIE THE ROPE MYSELF, I WILL HANG YOU!''

#

why was he so mad

calm plaza
#

i will hang you

#

and

#

in place of your halo i will drop the noose

#

bro really wants to hang some mfs 😭 🙏

foggy pasture
#

hard to fault him tbh

thorny nymph
#

it is any good

#

I’ve been waiting for the new album to come out before I get into them, same thing with the recent Teitanblood and Deafheaven and the incoming Rivers of Nihil album

#

I know BTW is going in a more “modern” direction like Caliban and Sylosis

tiny tinsel
#

like a classic 8/10

#

a good listen

harsh cosmos
#

This album makes me feel like I could run through a brick wall

next peak
#

So far my AOTY, BFW really do be making crazy riffs

night turret
#

"THIS IS ARMAGEDDON" 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

night turret
calm plaza
#

though im not even sure if i like it more or less than shrine and fracture

#

all 3 of those

#

are so even for me

#

cant decide

thorny nymph
#

ok it seems like a good album from the few seconds I skimmed but this is 100% not album fo the decade material

#

that would be insane stuff like the new Ulcerate or Archspire

#

the kind of stuff that makes you go “But where do you even go from here”

#

I’ll see when I get free time to listen to Zeinith, might beat the new KSE, probably still not beating the new Bleeding Through

calm plaza
#

I mean it just comes down to taste ig

thorny nymph
#

I’m glad this album is out though, last year and this year are great for 2000s metalcore with basically every notable band except for HSB releasing a new album

#

Still probably going to end up losing to Spiritbox at the Nik Awards sadly

foggy pasture
#

oh yes that is not even a question and more matter of fact

thorny nymph
frail zodiac
#

Mark my words

prisma otter
rose orbit
frail zodiac
#

I guarantee it.

thorny nymph
#

yeah I've just accepted that Popcore dominates the Nik Nocturnal awards now

rose orbit
#

its a popularity contest

frail zodiac
# rose orbit its a popularity contest

I've kinda accepted that when somehow Wage War got a spot in Animal Noise when 2 bands that have the most insane animal noise I have heard in my life didn't even make top 5

thorny nymph
#

the biggest surprise was Nails somehow getting into the best breakdown section

rose orbit
#

wag wags animal noise was prolly a mouse squeak

thorny nymph
#

Like it's fucking NAILS

frail zodiac
#

Like... that noise is something my sorry ass could do

#

and I aint that traversed in vocals

rose orbit
#

this year battle of tredem should win that

frail zodiac
#

idk very many animal noises this year

#

I havent paid attention

#

I usually vote based on what is good. So I go through each section and vote based on which one was the best

#

not because I'd bend over for the band if I got a chance

thorny nymph
#

my ass voting whitechapel in every category knowing full well they're going to lose to Popcore

#

🔥 💀 🔥

rose orbit
#

i think i'll vote synestia for best song

frail zodiac
#

My ass voting for Dexcore knowing they aint even gonna be known

frail zodiac
#

I would tbh

#

I still play it every now and then

rose orbit
#

assuming something doesn't top them/they're even in that category ☠️

frail zodiac
#

Animal noise still pissed me off the most

#

That was by far my breaking point for any category

#

Wretched Tongues got robbed that category

#

to fuckin Wage War

thorny nymph
#

shoutout to Benighted on Nothing Left To Fear from Ekbom which didn't even make it

frail zodiac
#

Shoutout to Poppy for best Bleagh

#

Shoutout to Dexcore for not even making top 5

#

Shoutout to OBKATIEKAT for not even making top 5 for content creator

rose orbit
#

wouldn't hanabie be the best chance for a japanese band to get top 5 in something

frail zodiac
#

My predictions are meaningless

frail zodiac
#

As much as I would love to see that happen

#

It wont

#

Tho... if Broken By The Scream releases something this year, so good in fact they should win an award and they don't, I'll flip shit

rose orbit
#

isn't even dexcore more popular than them 😭

frail zodiac
#

idrk

#

J-Metal scene is pretty big

thorny nymph
#

J-Metal and Japanese Metal are two different things tbh

frail zodiac
#

Jiluka got a better chance than 90% of these bands to win something

frail zodiac
thorny nymph
#

J-Metal is stuff like Jiluka or Babymetal that's kind of explicitly "Japanese" in a way, Japanese Metal is basically just normal metal that comes from Japan such as Sigh or Intestine Baalism

rose orbit
#

deviloof could be on animal noise or best breakdown or something

keen pike
frail zodiac
#

The definition isn't really that loose with it

thorny nymph
#

It's subtle but there's a distinction

#

Like J-Pop and City Pop being two different things despite both originating from Japan

frail zodiac
#

City Pop could also be any city

#

There are distinctions for each one

#

Even though it may be that J-Metal and Japanese Metal are different things, the definitions for each are still present and correlate just about the same

thorny nymph
#

Perhaps, but I'd always make a distinction just based on how I categorize things

#

Like, Intestine Baalism for example is straight death metal, with melodic characteristics seeping in, it lacks the quirks of "J-Metal" that people usually associate with Japan like weird costumes

#

If you look them up on Metallum, they're just four dudes in band shirts like Dismember, whereas something like Jiluka plays into the visual kei culture aspect

frail zodiac
#

People probably just associate it with the area of origin. Hell, people still call stuff like Hypocrisy "Swedish Death Metal" when it's just Melo Death

fierce meadow
#

she shoulda at least been in there

frail zodiac
#

I think it's just a more broader area of origin scope to make the distinction of location rather than mentioning the genre in full

thorny nymph
#

Hypocrisy actually did start out as normal swedeath before they switched to melodic death metal

frail zodiac
#

Cause, I could also just sit here and say that V-Kei is just normal metalcore

#

Because visuals doesn't correlate to a genre of music, just the visual aspect of it

#

Just like people who call Glam metal, hair metal

frail zodiac
#

top 5 is all that mattered

fierce meadow
#

for sure

thorny nymph
#

To me, at least

alpine scroll
#

Don't make this a Sleep Token thread y'all

thorny nymph
#

sleep token puts me to sleep with how boring it is

alpine scroll
#

Back to listening to PEAK

#

ZENITH

harsh cosmos
#

Peak album

fallow flower
alpine scroll
#

I wonder who that was in the chorus part of Known By No Name

foggy pasture
#

Alright, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it - this was way worse than expected

#

Last four songs have the sauce, Chained To Hate is absolute peak and Known By No Name, as well as Hands of Sin keep pace while Edge of Eternity is a nice closer. In Place of Your Halo is slightly worse but still dope but like....everything else is really boring and lacking, especially considering BFW standards

supple chasm
#

I'm going to give this a 3rd listen tonight and see if my prior rating improves. I did enjoy it a bit more on listen 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if I raise it 1-2 points

supple chasm
supple chasm
night turret
#

just finished listening to it

#

great album

#

8.5/10

ocean sundial
#

Love the last song, great ending for an album

kindred flicker
#

6/10, great finish but just meh

uncut rapids
#

also, if you go to a record store in japan, J-pop is used pretty all encompassing to be anything from Mr Children to band maid, to Ado and Yoasobi

#

Also, not all VKei is metalcore, just thats what often gets brought up in conversations in western metal circles

#

i highly doubt all the vkei groups on this list are metalcore

dawn kraken
#

@alpine scroll bfw was crazy live man

#

Holy
