tell me if I am going crazy... it feels like all the "newer" metal stuff that comes out and consists of members under the age of 25 is guilty of having the most boring vocal pattern ever where the dude starts almost every lyric on the 2nd beat of the bar....

i feel like a good amount is just shitty gay fallout from metalcore... all sorts of slightly-cheesy and really cheesy bands do it. converge, darkest hour, pig destroyer, basically ANY new-school mosh death metal band, basically every single Black Dahlia Murder-style god-awful knock-off band.

how the fuck did this start? does anyone understand me?

it's like vocalists are physically incapable of starting a phrase on the first beat of a bar. they always wait until the second....

sorry for being such a bitch, i'm just losing my mind after browsing for some bands on myspace....

just take two bars of any standard Slayer fast-thrash beat - that's 8 kicks and 8 snares at say, i dunno 240 bpm.....

these newer sucky vocalists seem to always fashion their patterns like this:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 | 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
..... "BLAH BLAH BLAH, | BLAH BLAH BLAAAAH"

or

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 | 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
...... "BLAH BLAH | BLAH BLAH BLAAAAH"

again, sorry for being annoying, the quirks of "modern" metal are pissing me off.

i guess the obvious lesson is to stick with rocking anything old and none of this new shit, but fuck man.....
