i think they are good, not great, but i hear all this smack about them beeing gods

fake poster

Fucking boring cookie cutter metal core rubbish

i like the stings of conscious and endless. no comment after that.

endless ep is all i can stand. a couple tunes on the last full length were alright but...weakest link is the vocals.

don't forget to mention that they suck!

i can listen to a song

extremely

www has it right.
they aren't anything inovative anymore, but d00ders...
realize it.
they've been making the same music that EVERY band is now copying.
fun to see live, the CDs are ok, but realize that so many bands are copying them. I've seen this band in tiny clubs for a long time. it's great that they are doing well, especially since now trevor's label is doing awesome (even though they should sign more bands)

the_reverend said:

wow i never thought i'd see that statement, and i talked to trevor about this and his take on it. a lot of musicians who run label get one maybe two good prospects and then try to surround them by bands who are mediocre and hence bring the label down with them, so he's tried to just stick it out with finding bands he finds really inspiring and pushes them really hard.

compare BMA with it.
there are plenty of bands out there that he could sign.
when was the last time he signed a band?

not sure does he still just have since the flood and it dies today or has he signed more, i mean i talked to him a while ago....that was when they were on the hatebreed/hangbangers ball tour down in va.

is stf still on his label or did metalblade outright them yet

well no fucking shit!
But then again i havent heard anyone say anything good about them in about 3 fucking years...who cares.

In reponse to the original title of this thread.

Yes.

I'd say underrated, that band is absolutely amazing.

damn, joe stole my idea.

I dont think their overated they just fucking SUCK

I think they are gay and should stop offending my ears with the shit they play

i liked the stings of conscious when it first came out, but they've gotten worse, and you're all right, his vocals are terrible.
if you heard only one song the guitar work could sound decent, but when you listen to the whole cd, every song is the same, and their breakdowns are generic one chord chugs.

can we do one thing for metal? please everyone, stop writing terrible one or two note breakdowns!

oh and don't yell breakdown right before a breakdown.

shopping mall metal for high school kids with lip piercings and stupid hair cuts

Porrphyria is exempt from this rule......

unearth is complete garbage

Unearth are good guys, they have worked hard to get where they are, for many years.

It is obvious they changed their sound to 'fit the times', and no, I do not care much for their music, but I've got better things to do than shit-talk about them.

when 'above the fall of man' came out (the first EP), i didnt mind it but it got old really quick. i tried getting into "stings of conscience," but it never did anything for me. the "endless" EP was a step up from stings, but still bored the crap out of me. and when they put out the new album, i was absolutely repulsed by the fact they've released the same 3 songs 10x over with the same shitty monotonous vocals, among everything else. they can play their instruments, but never put their talent to good enough use to say they're actually even semi-decent. unearth blow.

im not talking shit, its just my opinion

Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you, specifically, were, bro. But I have seen a lot of shit talking on these boards about them.

no problem, "garbage" was a little harsh anyway

Garbage aint harsh at all.

I am a gay fiucking faggy spam bot

I've never been into unearth...

but, they do get free custom guitars like this drooooooools

a dude at my work said that the new unearth will blow everyone away. they are doing stuff so inovative that you will say "this is unearth" no clean vocals either..... hope he was right he said he was unearths bus driver or something

unearth is not a very good band. they are very bland and that guitar is all eye candy. not quality

how so?

I'm not a fan of the company Ibanez. I mean yes its a decent guitar but its most likely not a "true" custom guitar. The first factor making a guitar cheap or expensive is the actual guitar manufacturing process. Was the guitar hand-made? Was the guitar produced in a highly automated modern guitar factory? Ibanez guitars are mainly produced in Korea. The quality of material used for producing this guitar is most likely not what you think it is. This includes the woods used for the guitar neck and body, the paints, finishes, etc. I still have my custom built Brian Moore MC-1 that i personally help design and was always kept a breast on the manufacturing process. Today Brian Moore outsources to Korea which is a shame but still build 5 custom made guitars a year.

I guess its a cost factor. Why spend that kind of money for a mass produced instrument when you can spend that money towards a true custom guitar of your own. Or spend that money on a "better" quality production guitar.

Just not a fan of Ibanez as I've owned them in the past and have seen the shoddy work that comes out of their Korean factory. Personal opinion that's all.

although not a fan of Mr. Roman's personality or work here is his take on Ibanez guitars. Too bad Brian Moore doesn't make the MC/1 anymore. I wonder how much I could sell mine for if I had to... it truly is a piece of work. I have to thank my parents for the guitar

yes

anonymous said:

well, that's completely your opinion. As far as I know he got that free so there's no cost factor, it would probably cost $2-3,000 for that guitar if you or me were to buy it.. I know when Ken got his custom ibanez he just went through the factory and was like "I want this on it, and this on it, ect"

I've owned an American Made Jackson and I have to say the quality of my Korean made Ibanez built quality is better. The edge II is okay but is not a real edge. Handmade doesn't always mean it's better.

I like Strings and Endless the new one has a few good songs but I cant listen to the album all the way through
and the fact that Metal blade has done like 3 rereleases on the new one even though its only what? 2 years old? gay

Unearth aint overated,they just SUCK

Opinion: Unearth sucks because they are metalcore! Metalcore is gay! It's rebellious (and kvlt) to hate metalcore! I am a rebel!

What you really mean: Unearth sucks because they worked hard at what they do, and have become more famous than my 'true metal' band will ever be.

Maturate.

Ok, the only good thing about Unearth is Mike's drumming.I cant get into the tough guy/lizard man vocals.Thats why I dont like them.And just because a band is more famous dont mean that they are better than an underground one.

Opinion: Unearth suck because their music sucks and anonymous posters are gay.

What I really mean: Anonymous posters are gay

popularity never validates music. if that was true, then what would that make 98 degrees? ewwwwwww

unearth sucks anyway.

the only thing I've listened to more than once is the Endless EP. I don't think they or anyone else playing that style will top that EP (another EP I like by a band that didn't impress me before or after is A Life Once Lost's Fourth Plague: Flies). Are they overrated? such a strange notion based on a ton of things that don't matter, as to personal opinion. Like em or don't. not a big deal.

bump for aaron ...

there, I blocked that IP.. fuckers.
sorry, I'm at a show and just very annoyed with a lot of things.
