Br00tality and Scene Hair

Dead To Fall- Eternal Gates of Hell

For the next one, I’m gonna go a little more into the heavy side of things. If you were part of the scene back then and weren’t into powerpop or electronica bands you most likely had your iPod crammed with brutal (or br00tal) underground metalcore/deathcore bands. One of those bands were Arsonists Get All The Girls who were headlining the “Broken Hearts Broken Jaws Tour” in early 2008. They played their own schizophrenic version of deathcore mixed with mathcore, a lot of electronic elements, or even interrupted their tracks for a little ska. They had just suffered the tragic loss of their long-time friend and bass player Patrick Mason, who died of alcohol poisoning after celebrating his 21st birthday at the 30th November 2007. Their second album “The Game Of Life” was released just a few months before that incident. All that didn’t let them stop making music, though. Most of the other bands were still newcomers at that time. MyChildren MyBride released their label debut during this tour, but they already had a solid cult following, thanks to touring almost non-stop. For The Fallen Dreams had just released their debut “Changes” in January that year and Stray From The Path were far away from the rap metal/hardcore mix they play today. Their third album “Villains”, that came out in May that year, featured a pretty math-y style of hardcore, which they kept the next 5 years.

HAPPY FUCKING VALETINES DAY PUSSYS!
