The first 6 songs are actually REALLY GOOD and gave me the impression the band was back on track. It opens with 2 back to back heavy cuts, Nails sounds different from anything they’ve done imo, In Time is a top tier ballad and Unscathed sounds straight out of American Capitalist. Then the album IMO just shits the bed with 4 boring ass songs to close it out. I fight to find a single redeeming quality with Everybody Lies and the other 3 I can’t even remember even after 5-6 listens. The fact they had about 30 song ideas and couldn’t find anything better is concerning that they just lack inspiration now or maybe it’s just me??? Idk.

IT'S HAPPENING!!!

So I’m about to get into the world of lead playing after playing rhythm and from what I hear this guitar is sort of a jack-of-all trades when it comes to lead playing and even works solid as a rhythm guitar. I tried one out in guitar center and it feels great to me aside from some hand cramping after a bit which I hear there are ways work arounds for. Anyways feel free to be a bad influence on me.

So I am debating between this Ibanez and the Schecter and if I go for the Ibanez I can currently get it used for around the same price. I currently own the Schecter Omen Extreme so I am already used to that form factor; however for Ibanez I have only played the RG421. I personally love both designs but I have no way to test out the Ibanez as no Guitar Center near me has one in stock. Would love for some opinions from you guys!

Idc if it’s AI it’s nice to get a grasp on what the album could have sounded like.

Shows like this remind me of why I can truly love Deathcore shows sometimes. Every band (minus Gates to Hell who didn't play for some reason) absolutely KILLED it with Carnifex maybe being my favorite set. Sadly turnout was very poor due to a last minuet venue change that literally crossed state lines but the people there made the most of it. Pit was a perfect balance of push pitting and hardcore dancing with no one trying to fight each other over their preferred mosh style. With that said, it was strange to see such a friendly Bodysnatcher pit where I wasn't in danger of getting punched the whole time and it was rather wholesome? Anyways enough wasting your time just go to an upcoming date if you can!

Seriously, how did you take a guy like Jon Huber who has one of the loudest and most powerful low vocals of all time and make him almost sound like he’s whispering? I’ve talked to Jon and Evan about it at shows back in the day and they said during production everything sounded loud and clear then they shipped it off to be mixed and mastered. What came back on the other side was a totally different product atleast in terms of how the vocals sounded. Anyways what is your pick?
