How do u find the metalcore scene in Singapore?

And one more thing, alot of people say like, 'xxx' genre very little bands la, not enough 'xxx' genre gigs. But if you actually go to gigs, you'll realise that there are alot of gigs that'll cater to your musical taste

"xxx" genre ? haha , we got local band , CARDIAC NECROPSY whaat !! singa-porn very own porngoregrind !! HAHA
 
Are there more local 'metalcore' video clips on youtube? I want to see the good ones that do original composition.
 
haha , 4 words . POWER TO THE MAX . i know one of the guitarist personally haha . okay , we''re getting out of point already . HAHA
 
if metalcore is a trend. then death metal, thrash metal, hard rock, punk rock and whatever shits are all trends. how did any of you get into a type of music? did you not follow someone else who listened to it before you? are people wrong for listening to what they like, or they are not allowed to listen to what they like just because a certain genre like metalcore is v popular?
 
that video with the moshing at 1.19. the guy has a nice bowl for a haircut. haha

natheniel - cardiac's stage presence and songs can eat any metalcore band anytime. but i guess to each their own eh?

there would always be someone fighting to prove that their genre is the best la. no point arguing cos no one's gonna jump ship. haha
 
Hi guys,
for me, metalcore is just a passing/confused trend . Its not that i'm against it, but its not my cuppa tea. We have to accept the fact that there are increasing trends/genre of metals popping out nowadays.. It used to be simple, just deathmetal, blackmetal & grindcore back in the 90s. Even now big labels like Relapse & Nuclear Blast are signing metalcore cause thats where the $$$$ is, the so-called future of metal. If you guys are in a metalcore band, i hope u guys will go all out for it..

Let just support the metalscene itself .

Cheers,Beers & Babes,

I never got into the metalcore scene, apart from a few bands here and there, but how can anyone berate others for having different taste in music ? :?

Art is subjective, as is taste. You're actually telling someone their opinion of wrong ? Then you're either a retard or one of those spastic scene kids who spout bullshit about "true metal" and paint themselves as some sort of metal elite. I grew up listening to Sabbath, Maiden, Priest and the 80s thrash bands, but I'm not going to be militant about suggesting that other people have to have the same taste as me.

I detest black metal, and its silly imagery. Wearing bad make up, holding an upside down cross, singing about how kickass Satan and releasing albums that sound like their instruments have fungus....I just don't get it. But others do, and to each their own

W.r.t the issue of Singaporean audiences, I'd ahve to agree with the OP. The same elitist attitude permeates through to people who thumb their noses and look down at the moshers. The same elitists are the ones who nitpick every single downstroke of the guitarist, hunting for bum-notes. I have no issues with audiences either way, but crowd involvement is an integral aspect of all rock n roll ! Don't mosh, fine. But get involved in some way ! Shout, scream, applaud, jump around, make some noise, do something !

I don't object to people who stay out of pits. As I'm getting older, I sometimes stay out of pits now too.

I just am repulsed by people who find reasons to bash moshpits coz they're too pussy to participate. Just my point of view. Don't hate what you don't understand.

Being relatively new to Singapore, and having seen several scenes before this, I would really urge the Singapore audiences to spend less time texting on their phones and showing off their "look" and girlfriends, and more time getting involved in the live experience :)
