Has modern metal come to this?

I hate it soooo much, and I hate it even more with 20 years in the rearview mirror because of what it's done to metal


all these were my jams when i was in highschool in the late 90s, and the Connecticut and lower Mass scenes were basically one so you could see these bands pretty much every weekend. Then they all broke up to do Killswitch and i just never dug it. Overcast is still one of my favorite and i think most underrated bands ever.

That's all fine, but its soiled by the knowledge they went on to create KSE and ruin music forever so I can't say anything positive about it even though the music is objectively better
 
So, I posted this because this is an ad for a pedal/plugin/something-or-other that automatically generates ultra discordant dissonance for your playing. Basically it spits out sequences of notes and noises completely for you. This goes way beyond assisting the player like a delay or harmonizer can do. What happened to the good old days when bands used to write and play this compositionally vapid horseshit themselves?

So not only does is sound like fucking shit, but he's not even really playing it? Fascinating.

Yeah well, he’s playing something but it’s a whole lot less than the total. Guys like us not liking it isn’t the problem. It’s a problem because this really ups the game on faking it.

That is funny, because my first thought was "This sounds like a harmonizer that is out tune"... lol

to be fair to whoever this jackass is

that is already how they do this type of music on recording - in fact it's even more fake than this

Lukas mann or Berried alive are literally faking every single note, this is just a pedal that fakes the metalcore minor 2nd and minor 9ths that are used in breakdowns of this godawful style of music

In 6 months, he'll have his own signature Ibanez.
 
We need to tag him @Techdeth what's your verdict dawg?
New music is pretty awesome except the production is sometimes a bit much
But bands like this rule my world
This is like a lullaby to me .
So good
