I have an interesting idea. I want to compile a list of early post hardcore/metalcore bands that gave zero f*cks and made strange music for the love of it. Albums that would shape the genre of late 00s metalcore, scene and or 'genericore' before there was a strict precedent and became ad nauseam.
Back when they couldn't get a break from traditional punk or metal purists collectively shitted on them for making music outside of the traditional confines.
These albums are very dysfunctional, underdeveloped, and fragmented:
Hahaha this is a golden example of what I'm talking about. I remember seeing one star reviews on this CD on ebay (I imagine you can still see them) people irate and confused out of their minds of literally hearing the this genre of music for the first time.
I will for sure check out. Thanks man! They don't necessarily had to get copious amount of hate to qualify for list. I'm just searching for early examples of modern metalcore crawling and learning to walk lol
