10 Levels Of (2000's) Metalcore

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Did I miss any level? \o/

[@nathansouthwick1558]

Level 11 - The Clean Interlude/Intro?

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

@Nathan Southwick Actually had a clean section in an early draft of this video, decided to cut it out though. x'D Maybe I'll do a level 11-20 followup video where I'll include it! : D

[@tehllama42]

We just want 10 more.

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

@tehllama42 Haha, let's see if I do a followup someday!

[@fourspiralarms]

plot twist: this whole song and video was procedurally djenterated

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Haha, don't tell anyone my secrets! : D

[@FollowerofBodom]

As I Lay Dying's Shadows Are Security and Bullet For My Valentine's The Poison combined, 2 all time greats.

[@ZRisyad]

Level 1 to 3 is just straight up from "Through Struggle" haha

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Haha, was a long time since I heard that song!

[@darnassiannightsaber7835]

One of the best from AILD!

[@xakariz]

Basically my entire spotify playlist explained in under 3 minutes.

[@dirtylefty727]

I love how the ending of this video is literally the opposite of the ending of your 10 Levels of Djent video 😂

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Haha, that was intentional x'D Glad you watched them both! : D

[@byranakiempitts7374]

@@DennisMartenssonOfficial the 10 levels of djent was recommended 🤣. They’re so funny to watch back to back

[@rideawaysa7657]

You absolutely nailed it! You played everything I love about 2000's Metalcore! Amazing melodies. Good job man!

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it! : D

[@widowanchorband]

If you like the older vibe, then please check out my band Widow Anchor. We have 3 singles out now! We've been compared to AILD, ATR, KSE and Trivium.

[@psychosis8429]

Awesome. I absolutely love 2000s metalcore

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Thanks! : D

[@travispayne1179]

I've written a riff like the one at 1:35. Four taps and a slide.

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Nice! I think most musicians in that style of music during that time wrote similar riffs to that, haha : D

[@travispayne1179]

@@DennisMartenssonOfficial I just realized bloodmeat by protest the hero also has a similar tapping part.

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

@Travis Payne Haven't heard that one! Need to listen to it! : D

[@hereticdeth7986]

This is melodic metalcore!

[@Gameboy2007-Official]

As it should be

[@TheJohnnee]

1:35 Arch Enemy - Enemy Within

[@benjaminperez-cottaar3607]

This slapped harder than my mom when I forgot to empty the dishwasher after school

[@shane_wallace]

Will always love level 4

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Glad you like it! : D

[@boredom9804]

Let's open up this pit has to be one of my favorites

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Haha, glad you like it! : D

[@pavellaketko]

Next level - generated metalcore! please!

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Haha, would be a fun project, no doubt!

[@hejrobin]

*punching down, kicking backwards* BLEEEEEGH!

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

vi ska blegh hela natten, blegh hela da'n

[@abcdefghijkl5408]

Love #8....reminds me of nothingface, who would routinely add samples from horror movies into their songs to build atmosphere. Not sure if metalcore, but an amazing band with unbelievable riffs and groove 🤟

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Actually haven't heard of Nothingface, but it sounds interesting! Need to check them out : D

[@abcdefghijkl5408]

[@romanrodrigues2448]

like listening to the very first bfmv album 😍

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Glad you think so! : D

This new djent thing has no place in my 2000s metalcore!! Loved the video though, nailed it!

[@KennyRooks]

Sweet mother of As I Lay Dying! 😮

[@nikolayrusanov8714]

This is like an ointment for my ears. My favourite era of metalcore!

[@zalanvincze]

Level 0-9: LITERALLY THE PEAK OF 2000'S MUSIC \m/ Level 10: why are you gae

[@Le_epic_eclipse]

Cool all

[@caeserdorkusmallorkus5969]

Ah yes! metalcore and those edgy teenage days. Thank you for reminding me it still exists. Nice video btw. From level and 8 and onwards, it's just metalcore meshuggah fusion.

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed the video! : D

[@jackLoveX]

Thank you for the as I lay dying cover

[@Fretboardmastermind]

Sounds sick! Do you program the drums?

[@EbiraLeo]

So, if you start to master metalcore, you end up drifting to djent. Then you return to metalcore. And so on and on, endless spiral. Thanks for knowledge, Mr. Ouroboros )

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

It's the circle of life! : D

[@VirgoKing89]

So much Darkest Hour influence in these! 🔥🔥🔥☺️😉😊👍🏽🙌🏽

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

I actually didn't listen to Darkest Hour that much back in the day. x'D But glad you liked it! : D

[@ABlankAndrew]

Bring back 2000's metalcore

[@DennisMartenssonOfficial]

It was a nice time! Wouiildn't mind it making a comeback : D

[@janocronismo]

Oh God yes!

[@ABlankAndrew]

@@DennisMartenssonOfficial Our destiny is clear, we must be the ones to do it!

That Djent section reminds me of Violent Sleep of Reason, sick riff 🤘

Bro casually wrote the best Adept song in the last 5+ years... oh wait Awesome video

[@paulholmes4746]

Can you explain your settings and what it’s etc you used to get this metal core tone. It’s sick bro !

There are only 2 levels of Metalcore. Level 1. Drop tuning to play hardcore riffs. Level 2. Insert Iron Maiden leads. That's it.

[@justicia8393]

👌🏼

Im sorry but i have to ask this. Do you use a compressor to get that attack sound when picking open strings?

my guess is a boost pedal

@@DennisMartenssonOfficial Same bro. Tim Lambesis - unfortunately he did horrible shit - but I learned harsh vocals originally by imitating his style. "Confined" and "Through Struggle" some of the first guitar shit I ever learned... yea they were extra strong mid 2000s. ABR , just always crushed it lol I saw them live for the first time back on Feb11 at The Tabernacle in Atlanta with Killswitch and my God the show was unreal

2:26 i hate this type of metalcore 🤢🤢

Me too. Djent sucks.

I'd rather prefer this than the Octane Core that's happening now. I don't mind bands going mainstream and pop. In fact, I listen to allot of pop music too like BTS, Maroon 5, Ariana Grande etc. But this new Octane Core thing is just so...bland.
