this is my list of genres for the bands on day three mainstage, now the genres I listed are only those which I got from various sites, they are not my own opinons, I haven't even heard of most of these bands, so if you know more about them post it.





I killed the prom Queen- Looks like gay hardcore
Sanctity- "Classic metal" "Thrash" "melodic heavy metal", on dragonforce's tour
Hypersolid- "shred metal"
Withered- "Black metal, grindcore, swedish influenced death metal"
Mercury Switch - something core
Xdeathcorex- christian, straight edge hardcore
Inked in blood- core
A love end suicide- core
Light This City - female fronted melodic death metal
Protest this hero- "metal, punk , thrash".........."not like the comback kid"
Burn in silence- "hardcore vocals with melodic death metal" music sounds awesome to me
Cannae- metalcore, they were there last year.
Trouble- "proto doom"
Byzantine- metal...
Into eternity- power death metal
Wolf- couldn't figure out which one, I am assuming it is the Nwobhm one.
The Bronx Casket co- gothic rock/metal

and if you don't know dragonforce and gamma ray dont go to metalfest.

I know 98% of the words in this thread, but I've never seen them together in this order.

i dont know much about those bands but i DO know that Hypersolid is Grade-A NU METAL
RK played with them at the Lucky Dog a little over a year ago and they asked if anyone liked Metal...we just sat and stared, then the singer goes "i know these guys do!"...So they proceeded to play a Soilwork song from one of the past two albums
to say the least, I was quite suprised to see that they were on this fest although i guess i shouldnt have been

hypersolid are more like nevermore than numetal.

im gonna pistol whip the next person who uses the word nu-metal

no bands around here sound like korn, limp bizkit, or linkin park anymore

We've played with them a few times over the years, nice guys, although their style of music is very different than ours. However, I will say that despite the fact they have some newer influences, it would take a very purist definition to call Hypersolid out and out nu-metal, as they added lot of prog elements and guitar harmonies to their music with time. But they are definitely in no way "shred metal" as the original description suggests; shred implies guitar solos, and there aren't any. I don't know why on earth they would be on this fest before we would be (especially with headliners like Lacuna Coil), but whatever...

they were asked to do it out of the blue i guess

i'm still hoping that christina from lacuna coil goes to ralph's for a burger before their set on friday while we're playing and then i get to have sex with her

hypersolid in no way, shape or form shreds. unless it is shredding another mans anus with their needle dicks.

way to go anonymous

So it IS the good Trouble?

Hypersolid sound ABSOLUTELY nothing like Nevermore, they sound a whole lot like numetal CRAP

gah! *pistol whip*

there are a lot of people who call the worship of new Soilwork albums Nu-Metal. If that is where they come from, they are right.

I'm listening to them now, and it could be a Soilwork demo with a less hardcore sounding vocalist.

oh, didn't see that high note coming

this is gonna be the never ending thread of *pistol whips*

whatever dude...I do remember the old Hypersolid material...which was pretty standard nu.

HYPERSOLID SOUND NOTHING LIKE NEVERMORE REV!!!!

What they sound EXACTLY like is new Soilwork parts mixed together with Iron Maiden parts....


Rev, if you think Hypersolid sounds like Nevermore, then I dunno man...

btw, where was the hypersolid shred? Do you think Bruce Dickenson impersonations are shredding guitars? I think you are confused.


I've said my piece....


PS - never buy canned refried beans...

I didn't mean to sound like an asshole there Rev, but I guess with me it's unavoidable

you get half a pistol whip

dude, it doesn't even seem mixed together. The first song on there is like 2:30 of Soilwork followed by 2:30 of Maiden.

*anti-pistol whip forcefield* (24243 sided die style)

my pistol whip roll is a d30 with a +999999999999999999999 to all melee attacks

Don't they have a forum for D&D geeks?

dude, we obviously don't know what we're talking about

last night I tried to kill myself again...

...anyways here's a Brasky story

TO BILL BRASKY!

bill brasky is a son of a bitch.

I just found the word shred on one of their sites, I pretty much looked at one or two sites for each band and came up with the genre most labelled.

I have only hear like three or four of the bands going hahaha
