original metalcore bands, the current day bands not so much.
I put DB4D in the same category as 100 Demons, and 1000 other bands. They all sound alike, I can't tell them apart. A whole bunch of chugga chugga
bands. It's the cool thing in hardcore these days. Try to sound heavy and brutal like a metal band, but call yourselves a hardcore band.
Simply my opinion, but I don't consider that ignorance. I call the opinion of somebody that's been listening to punk/hardcore/oi for a great number
of years. I know what I like, and what I don't. These current bands to me are the opposite of what the hardcore scene was supposed to be.
