Enjoy (or don't!)

Clicked out of morbid curiosity as I found the band name and nuCore title comical. Nothing funny about that though. It's just shit.

Earache? Fuckin hell.

I get that you don't like that style of music, as most here don't. But how is it shit?
Yep, these boys have heard Korn and Slipknot before, that's obvious, but not a crime.
I listened to the tune there without watching the video and I'll say that it's bang on the nail and perfectly executed for what it is.
The drumming is class. The riffing is there, nice and crunchy. The vocals are great too.
I've saved the video for later to watch again with my better half as I know she'll like it too.
I was never a fan of Korn (meaning I never got into listening to them much) but I had great respect for them after their support slot with Slipknot a lock a years ago in the Three Arena.
This tune, it's a thumbs up from me....

How is it shit?! Where do I start?  The lumpen, clichéd nu-metal riffs, the horrible over-produced sound, the shitty bleeps, farts and turntable scratches that were already old in 98...the spasticated hipster vocalist with his fucking "wacky" tank top and affected mannerisms. It's just fucking shit. It's no wonder these lads are being championed by Metal Hammer as they are right up their alley of shit.

I think we can all agree Earache are cunts, and need to give us back the first 4 Decapitated albums (and a whole lot of other legendary bands who have been completely shafted)

That's even fucking worse, the vocals are extra retarded, the absolute state of the drum sound, and the video looks like something that Coal Chamber shat out.

[Riffie_Fartle]

affected mannerisms

Pretty much the lynchpin of all metal and punk. Big hairy angry fellas roaring about vikings, or satan? That seems pretty affected.

Honestly, I posted this in the hope of mustering up this old vanguard vitriol

The Coal Chamber vibe is gas for sure

Singer sounds like he's doing an impression of Greg Puciato from Dillinger Escape Plan, who pretty much lifted his whole thing from Mike Patton.

I.e. shit.

I guess I'm referring to the whole "feigning a nervous breakdown" affectation that seems so beloved of nu-metal vocalists. It might have been somewhat original when the lad from Korn first did that shtick, but even then, it was very much lifted from Mike Patton.

As noted above

So it's not a thread about south west Dublin travellers then? Oh right.

[Eoin McLove]

I'm sure I'd have thought it was ok as a teenager and there is nothing new with retro shenanigans in the world of metal. It's a bit frightening to think that nu metal is now old enough to be considered retro... I have no interest in that stuff and haven't listened to it in over 20 years but it sounds no more or less offensive to me than most modern sounding metal. That said, I lasted all of about a minute before turning it off. If it gets young people in the door and some of them dive into better stuff then job done. I watched that Slipknot documentary on BBC4 recently. I had begun getting more fascinated by underground stuff around the time they emerged so they passed me by a bit but I could see the appeal while watching that show. Their couple of musical tricks became clear pretty quickly though,  and the song above is similar in that sense. Kinda rage-y, rhythmical and easy to sing along to. It's a winning formula for success, if all a bit surface level.
