NORMIE WIFE VS METALCORE

[@Nephzi]

As a drummer I love the idea that drums were that way because they "looked good"... meanwhile oldschool drummers had their toms at like 75 degree angles because they are so ergonomical

[@VARVIS_]

I still think they look pretty cool 😂, but I think somewhere between flat and 75 degrees is optimal

[@Nephzi]

@@VARVIS_ oh yea completely flat is terrible you'd be hitting tom rim shots constantly but like 15 degrees is perfect imo

[@pranavnnair5]

In the early 2000's metalcore video, Trivium, Killswitch, As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour, All That Remains, Unearth, Bullet, Avenged Sevenfold, etc.

[@MortonCammar]

You basically listed all of my favourite bands. Love the picks. On a random note I would have liked to see some of mice and men on this video.

[@pranavnnair5]

@@MortonCammar Yeah dude, Trivium, Darkest Hour, As I Lay Dying, and Killswitch Engage are especially my favorite bands. I'm a sucker for the melodic death metal influences that those early bands had. Also, I agree that Of Mice and Men should have been on the list as well as Haste The Day

[@JJSFC]

Yeah, I hoped this video would cover proper metalcore like this.

[@violetsidhe]

I feel my late teens early 20’s iPod calling me..

[@yeanahh]

Ah yes, the "band in the desert"-core era, what a time! AA and BMTH were my favourite bands until I discovered post-hardcore (Dance Gavin Dance, Circa Survive, Sianvar, Saosin, Swancore basically)

[@j.r.huffnstuff3549]

Hearing Evelyn talk about liking peaks and valleys in her music definitely makes me think about seeing her react to Deftones, Tool and A Perfect Circle. 👀

[@nooo840]

you should listen to her music!

[@the_dingo_show]

I think it's time Evelyn chooses her favourite tracks for VARVIS to rate

[@VARVIS_]

good idea

[@ryantannar5301]

I had some buddies who were in a successful (relatively speaking, still a local band) local band in the SoCal metalcore scene in the early 2010s. I wasn't in it, but I was pretty involved in helping them with setup and selling tickets and such. I miss all that. Between the 2am Denny's runs with all the bands and the amazing small venues out there it was easily one of the most fun periods of my life.

[@Narumi4918]

Something to bring up about the Prada > Attack Attack > Asking Alexandria pipeline is they were all recorded/mixed/mastered by the same guy, Joey Sturgis. - Prada came out first with Plagues in '07 - Attack Attack dropped Someday Came Suddenly at the end of '08 - Prada dropped With Roots Above and Branches Below in mid '09 - AND THEN Asking Alexandria dropped Stand Up and Scream AT THE END OF '09 Highly recommend looking into his discography specifically because of how much great stuff he's done. Specifically from '07 - '10 he did: The Devil Wears Prada - Plagues - August 21, 2007 For the Fallen Dreams - Changes - January 8, 2008 Attack Attack! - Someday Came Suddenly - November 11, 2008 Oceano - Depths - March 10, 2009 The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below - May 5, 2009 Miss May I - Apologies Are for the Weak - June 23, 2009 For the Fallen Dreams - Relentless - July 21, 2009 Asking Alexandria - Stand Up and Scream - September 15, 2009 We Came as Romans - To Plant a Seed - November 3, 2009 Of Mice & Men - Of Mice & Men - March 9, 2010 Confide - Recover - May 18, 2010 Attack Attack! - Attack Attack! - June 8, 2010 And that's just in 3 years! Insane amount of work and influence in such a short period of time.

[@VARVIS_]

Joey Sturgis is the absolute man Going to do a video on him here shortly

[@tsukidoragonx]

Hey man great video, you should also show her 2000's deathcore, I'd love to see her reaction to how brutal and raw deathcore used to be

[@VARVIS_]

I plan on it!

[@sakidickerson]

I'm 34 and remember this very well this era. Although I was more of a early 2000s melodic death metal rip-off metalcore fan huge recommendations for anything from As I Lay Dying Atreyu Shadows Fall Killswitch Engage and Trivium

[@enchilada93]

If you dont include something from your fellow Canadians, Misery Signals, off Of Malice, Mirrors, or Controller for the old school metalcore video I'm gonna cry 😢 Seeing them on their recent farewell tour was incredible. Would also like to see a vid on your high school music taste too! And do the lyrics instead of the music video!! A lot if metalcore lyrics can be pretty generic, but there's some amazing lyricists in the genre. Boundaries and Foreign Hands are two that come to mind, although part of the revivalcore going on in the last several years

[@enikoghostsofgrace]

Never thought I would meet another person who also digs Northlane, Wintersun AND 80's Japanese funk and City pop, but here we are.

Maybe you could do a video with your wife ranking the most handsome looking guys in metal? (James herfield, chuck schuldiner and bill steer are good picks)

[@leightonstarks2328]

I guess I'll be that guy. Devil Wears Prada was formed the year before the movie. They named it after the novel.

[@Highland_1992]

The Devil Wears Prada Timeline: The book came out in 2003. The band based their name off of the book, and they formed in 2005. The movie which is based off of the book, came out in 2006.

[@ethanw.eastep9673]

You must do a part 2 to this with Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, Etc Also you should compare classic songs from bands to modern songs from bands to see if she likes the mordern or classic metalcore better

[@GeoVTuber]

Out of all the Metalcore bands to talk about in this video, Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying weren't part of it???? I understand there are so many to choose from, but those two bands had a huge hand in defining Metalcore! Hopefully we see a mention of them or a reaction video in the future!

[@VARVIS_]

@@GeoVTuber i will he doing them in the mid 2000s metalcore video!

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

yeah, for second video should be big 4 of metalcore: Killswitch, AILD, BFMV and Trivium

[@zoliizs2300]

I love this video series very much! It's so nice to see somebody exploring music like this. If she likes the songs or not, it's not as important than the fact that she tries. In my metal head experience it's very rare to not just be, you know, looked down upon or stubbornly sticking to their prejudices. I would love episodes where she recommends her favorite tracks :D

[@vincentmomont7538]

great video as always man👍🤘

[@chrispman654]

When he said the stitches skinny jeans I re lived the first time I went to a band practice with a pair and was like "bro's look how low I can go." The jeans were as important as the instruments from then on haha.

[@Benb998Official]

Another great one! I personally like The Devil Wears Prada's newest album. Maybe show Evelyn something off of that in a later video?

[@Nephzi]

Based on Evelyn's positive reception to Aussie metalcore we need an Aussie metal episode with bands you haven't show; In Hearts Wake, I Killed the Prom queen, Northlane (with Marcus on vocals)... but prog is what we do best Ne Obliviscaris, Karnivool, Cog, Twelve Foot Ninja, Caligula's Horse, Dead Letter Circus.... just to name a few

[@Dyna-mite154]

Metalcore is absolutely what we do best. PWD is arguably the biggest current metal around.

[@waikenightcore9815]

I would suggest that she listen to some melodeath bands like Insomium or Orbit Culture. I believe she would enjoy the instrumentals and perhaps the lyrics. Songs I would suggest: Heart Like a Grave - Insomium The Conjurer - Insomium While We Sleep - Insomium Behold - Orbit Culture The Aisle of Fire - Orbit Culture Saw - Orbit Culture

[@sloz6365]

I love how almost the only song I liked out of these picks she gave a 0 😂

[@nicholasmullins3693]

I got excited when I saw metalcore, then frowned when I saw it was 2010's metal core 🤣 I raged so hard when I first saw the Attack Attack video because it was so many things that I hated about the fashion and musical culture of the time all at once: the hair, the v-necks, the skinny jeans, and the decidedly emo clean vocals. I was definitely an early 2000s metalcore guy, preferring God Forbid, Shadows Fall, Chimaira, Killswitch Engage, and others.

[@VARVIS_]

Hahahah, dont worry we will be doing that era very soon

[@hawkmoriss223]

ahren the bassist of TAA said “We called it Pittsburgh because at Warped Tour 2013 Joel had a seizure, just from drinking too much and being too hot

[@evarvy]

Wild 😂

[@brucenatelee]

My earliest metalcore albums were around 2010 with God Forbid's "Constitution of Treason," Killswitch Engage's S/T, and Hatebreed's "Supremacy." Jamey Jasta's vocal style made the transition from nu metal's rapping into hardcore shouts easier, and eventually harsher and more guttural vocals.

[@jaksn8082]

The Devil Wears Prada got their name from the book that came out in 2003 formed the band in 2005 and the movie came out on 2006 🤓

As an Idea -- might be interesting to check Evelyn's reaction to how do these bands evolved. Like, taking their last releases, or like, last most popular. Cause, it's modern music that is easier to listen to. Some Seeing Red from Archs or Dark Void from AA or Glitch from PD. Yeah, sure, I'd like to see reaction on Archs from Ruin era or TAA from Severed Ties but it's just a harsh for a normal person to listen to and enjoy as we do it. Anyway great video, respect for scores!

[@evarvy]

I take my scoring system VERY seriously!

[@oblivininja1796]

The devil wears Prada is my wife's favourite band, she's been listening to them ever since the plagues. She even has a TDWP tattoo. It hurts to she that she gave them a 0/10 but that's life 😊

To lure her in to metal you should play her something like post 2013 Nightwish(with Floor Jansen) live performances. That way she could start to better understand and appreciate the metal elements in music.

[@hanksilman4016]

No disrespect to the band or liking them, as i love Protest the Hero, but they are not metalcore. They are progressive math rock/metal. I mean, it's arguable what they are exactly, but metalcore is not one of them unless your only qualification is singing and screaming. All that said, happy to see this at all. You can easily do a part 2. Gotta show her Eskimo Calboy now or One Morning Left so she can get something funny. Or just do the EXACT same bands later albums since you have a tendency to pick their first albums (which is probably appropritate to walk someone through your shos). If all else fail you can pick the list from "Hey Jarrod, What's the Song Again?". Either way, gotta bring in Smokehauntus for the AA redemption. also The Devil Wears Prada named themselves after the Book, not the movie lol. Also damn, roasted. Modern TDWP is a 10/10 to meeee.
