His recent Instagram post on his page talks about how much his mental health has suffered over the last few months (likely due to people attacking him online over live performance vocals)

He revealed the self doubt that had begun to set in, the performance anxiety he's developed.

A very important reminder that our favorite artists are humans too and don't deserve the vitriol and hate they receive.

Love Sam/Architects, Devastated to read how much the dickheads hurt him.

Edit: People who are coming here to pile on the Sam hate, read the room, there's enough hate in the world already. Be Kinder. Be Better.

The drums in that intro never get old 🤤😍🔥

This band is truly something amazing. They had so many good songs. I'm really hoping for a comeback from them soon

For me it's currently a toss-up between Afraid Of The Dark by Motionless In White and a Quite Niche song (that you should check out btw) that being Off My Skin by After The Outreak.

One of my favorite bands that Being Cult To Follow their vocalist Brian W Scott said they might be releasing a new single after being silent for 7 years with their last release being Inception and if it comes out this year it might just take the crown for my SOTY.

Nobody fucking asked but I'm going to say it anyway. Cult To Follow is a band that is very important to me not only because they're the entire reason why I've wanted to start a band for nearly a decade and they are how I found my passion for clean singing.

Not usually one for self-promo, but I'm really proud of this one. I grew up listening to melodeath before getting into hardcore, so this felt like a really cool blend of all those things.

More stuff coming - planning a split with another new Sydney band, + already writing for an EP. Debut gig is next Saturday in Sydney supporting Seven Hells (Melbourne hardcore). If you're local, come mosh 🫡

Song's also available on all streaming platforms!

yo, I'm pretty new to early bmth and just stumbled upon "no need for introductions..."

that line at the end ("And after everything you've put me through / I should've fucking pissed on you") sounds WAY too specific and angry to just be a random aggressive lyric lol. was there some real drama behind this back in 2007 or was Oli just being dramatic?

anybody from that era know if this was about a real situation?

FFO: ?

Always struggle with The Banner because it often feels like the FFO: only works for half the song. It's in parts chuggy as hell with a cool gang vocal and then it explodes into fast punky parts with a frantic solo to finish things off. So if you want to hear all that, give this a click.

What are some songs that have similar intros.

Like the person saying something, then it goes into a filthy riff

To be heard is all that I want.

Someone recommend me this band last year, and I finally got around to checking them out. They’re so amazing 😭

I’m always interested in how the influences of different cultures changes the sound of a genre so what are your favourite non-English speaking metalcore songs?
