So I am a huge fan of Animals As Leaders and have almost never seen anybody talk about them here so I wanted to know what you guys think about them???

Also they have already recorded a new album so I am looking forward to that very much.

Well I think AAL is much more than djent but that's just my opinion.

I think Tosin is the most incredible guitarist to have ever graced this planet

EDIT: He was rated #2 best modern metal guitarist by Metalsucks.com

Periphery is the only band that can sucessfully pull off 3 guitarists. I'd rather see Tosin, Jean Baudin, and Mike Mangini do a collaboration album. That would kill the world.

There's plenty of bands that can do this. Iron Maiden comes to mind.

Tbh, I have never really listened to Periphery but will later today. Also that trio that you just mentioned is incredible.

Woah. I actually had no idea. Okay, Maiden and Periphery. I think that's it.

WhiteChapel has 3 guitarists but they don't sound like they do and I don't like them anyway.

This. They were a cool deathcore band but then Deathcore got old. Fast.

Especially Whitechapel. I think I have ever listened to one of their songs all the way from beginning to the end.

zxlkho · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2011, 07:14:04 PM »

Deathcore is the worst genre of music on this entire planet. I'd rather listen to boy bands from the 90's than deathcore.

JosephAOI · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2011, 07:25:05 PM »

In all honesty it was pretty cool at first IMO. After a while though the pummeling open-note breakdowns, constant blast beats, and screaming-induced-by-castration got on my nerves. Whitechapel was, IMO the only band that did all this while retaining any bit of melody or any sense of music other than "chug-chug-chuga-chuga-chug" (See the end of the song 'The Somatic Defilement').

Again,
MY OPINION.

zxlkho · « **Reply #20 on:** June 03, 2011, 07:28:46 PM »

No, the whole point of deathcore is that doesn't have melody. That's its whole purpose.

:20-on sounds pretty melodic to me.
Actually, I still kinda like Whitechapel

A lot better than Sucide Silence, Carnifex, etc. who's pretty much complete shit.
It's all a matter of taste though.
And anyways, this is an AAL thread. If we wanna discuss Deathcore, we should make a thread for it.

EDIT: okay, most of that song is shit but I really like the opening groove.

Phew, I'm glad there's a constant reminder of Joseph's right to an opinion. I'd be so lost without it.

Thank God opinions are sacred cows that can't be challenged or harmed in any way.

Guys...

We shouldn't argue over this.

We all know it's shit.
But that groove kicked my ass. Plain and simple. That doesn't mean it's good though.

EDIT: This is all off topic

AAL rules!!!!

Wait, this thread is absolute shit. WTF?

AAL are totally fucking awesome, best songs CAFO and Song of Solomon

I think On Impulse and Song Of Solomon are the best them honestly.

ariich · « **Reply #33 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:59:58 AM »

I haven't heard them, but I really dig Periphery so I'll check AAL out on Spotify at some point.

nikatapi · « **Reply #34 on:** June 04, 2011, 11:52:41 AM »

AAL kick serious ass. One of my favorite bands, Tosin is an unbelievable guitarist.
