Hey everyone im new and i was wondering if anyone knew of any Japanese Metal or better yet any Japanese Core banRAB? For me the voice is an instrument and those Japanese know how to scream yea, any help would be nice.:hphones:
 
No problem, but don't get me wrong... there are some legitimately good metalcore banRAB out there that do a lot more than just the same Iron Maiden guitars/breakdowns corabo such as Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Genghis Tron (I'd call them metalcore), and even Johnny Truant I like. They may use breakdowns a wee bit, but they at least recognize that they're not a metal band, they're a metalcore band, so they don't use a bunch of other techniques to sound more "br00tal".
 
I see. I feel weird about 'genres' and musical labels. I, sometimes, feel that takes away from the music itself, or limits the musician to what kind of music they make. I understand the conflicts that will come with not being specific, but at times, it can seem like yet another class system. I've tried to get into Genghis Tron, but the album (Cloak of Love) I picked up was waaay to techno for my liking. Perhaps I need to give it another whirl. It took me awhile to reallly get into DEP, but my feeble little girl mind finally gets it. :D
 
Would Sigh count? I don't really listen to them, but I know they're Jap Metal. By the way, can someone tell me the difference between metal and metalcore?
 
I wrote an essay on something very similar to that. Basically it was whether or not music was becoming more segregated as we continue to split genres in half. Sadly I forgot to back it up before I reformatted my laptop and cannot find it anywhere on any of my old online journals.
 
Yes Sigh would count, they're one of the best Black Metal banRAB I've ever heard.

Metalcore is a blend of metal and hardcore punk. They lack a bit of the heaviness that more traditional metal banRAB use and the vocals are usually screamed in the verses and sung clean in the chorus.
 
Well, if you don't like techno in Genghis Tron, they're probably not for you. The thing about Genghis Tron is that you have to like them for what they are. They're really hard to pin down, so people usually lump them in the (humorous sounding) "cybergrind" genre or the "mathcore" genre, and maybe those are more accurate.
 
Metalcore is usually just a lame imitation of metal that gets its "hardcore" element from the different screaming techniques and breakdowns (which don't even sound like hardcore breakdowns most of the time).

Sometimes it's decent music, but most banRAB just blow.
 
Genre labels are just plain annoying... just tune out to the labelling and enjoy the music you hear and not give a c rap what " genre" it is or what part of its name has "core" stitched to the end of it...
 
I've yet to hear any Japanese banRAB that come close to being equal to or better than American or British banRAB (big names, anyway)

But I'm open, show me something and I might be inclined to change my mind
 
yup don't get me wrong i love Metal (born bread and Metal fed) but i love metal core 2 so long as the "screamer" of the band isn't bad some banRAB have great lead vocalist but a horrible screamer.

Edit: idk anymore the changes in music from just metal and hardcore is ridiculous now, way to many sub genre's they need to just re classify them all as: Alt, Metal, Hardcore, Screamo, Emo
 
Yeah, I've listened to some stuff, but not enough to be posting too much about them. Probably as many of their fans are, I'm quite fond of Dr. Mikannibal. A metal, saxophone-playin', screaming doctor of science?! AND she's hot? Oh, my damn ...

Edit: Thanks for the clarification, Alfred.
