Now to be fair, just about all of these bands are underdeveloped with at best 1 LP release, so a lack of experience is to be expected. ( Fifteen Fathoms Counting is disregarded from Point B). Granted, this massive exaggeration is mostly credited to like 3 songs, but still is a prevailing issue to the entire album. The punch of some of the instrumentals hit like a toddler, somehow managing to be less heavier than their 6 strung counter parts. ![]() Production on some songs is literal dog***ī). The simple backends of the o.g album are gone, now that we have new fancy “guitar layering” and “vocal effects”, contrary to just smashing it all together in one session in your mom's garage, which usually should be a good thing except that,Ī). You see, the first issue you will immediately hear once your start off on Decayer’s Pray for Plagues, is that, there is, a *** ton of production going on. With updated production, guitars with more than 6 strings and 13 years of other influences past yours truly, it would be interesting (and fun) to see how the young guns of the genre look now covering one of the ol grandaddy's of core. So having bands literally copying CYB’s form in form of a tribute and added fresh take would showcase the bright talent that the future of core holds. CYB isn’t generic, CYB has a unique sound that no other band at the time or even today could copy, bands poorly copying CYB just make it sound generic. Fo’ realsies broskie, you could just search that tagline in the search bar and just scroooooolllllll for hours (overstatement).īut for every argument that CYB is stoopid “generic chug deathcore”, I will gladly provide the counter point that, CYB may only sound like generic core because CYB is simply the foundation of coar bands, generic sounding albums. Seriously For everytime Oli Sykes says he didn’t know what the hell he doing when making this record, there’s 10 other wannabe luggachugchug coar bands doing the same exact thing while posting their “Pray for Plagues (Band Cover) on youtube. Sure, you could make your Despised Icon or Suicide Silence or All Shall Perish or whatever argument, who’re unarguably just as responsible for everybody's favorite metal genre but nothing grabbed hold of the genre’s nuts like our good ol’ scene crew Bring Me the Horizon. Never has an album been as hated as much as it has influenced an entire genre. ![]() ![]() Review Summary: A relatively mixed bag of covers from groups of young, essentially unknown deathcore artists.
