Screamo = a suicide note.

This type of music give's a bad rap on Heavy Metal music.

What do you guys think of A Static Lullaby? I like their self titled album a lot because it's not full out screaming, it's a good mix of regular vocals and then some hardcore stuff. I don't like the constant screaming, I like it mixed in with some regular vocals. Some stuff is just unbearable, like A Static Lullaby's new album Rattlesnake.

I like a couple songs by ASL. "Stand Up", "The Art of Sharing Lovers" and "Hang 'Em High" which I first heard on MLB 07 I think.

It's not heavy metal at all so how can it give metal a bad rap?

Alright, I know this is kind of weird since I obviously like this type of music, but how exactly do you define "Post-Hardcore"?

The first four songs off the new album Overcome are simply outstanding and great mix of harmony and growling.

Before the damned
Two Weeks
Undone (personal fave)
Forever in your hands

Also, I love A Static Lullaby and their new album Rattlesnake. It is NOT all screaming, not even close so i dont know what slickdtc was talking about, no offense or anything.
I think its great, especially considering I bought both Rattlesnake and Overcome at the same time and that was a good day of music

A Static Lullaby isn't to terrible. I don't really like their style of post hardcore too much because I like more clean vocals in there. All That Remains is terrible as far as hat I like. WAY too much screaming and growling and too little singing.

I used to like scary kids scaring kids (Their EP and first cd are amazing) but their newer cd i cant really stand. Ive seen them live 6+ times and am friends with them on xbox live actually.

There's just not enough of regular vocals on Rattlesnake! to make me want to listen to it. It doesn't hold a candle to their self titled album. That one gets me so pumped, it's really awesome and I've been really into it recently. Rattlesnake! is a little too gruesome for me too... it's too weird. It sucks too because I really like the one guy's voice and the other's emotional screams is a good compliment but should not be the focus.

I'm a big fan of Scary Kids Scaring Kids though. Everything, from "After Dark" up to their self titled album released last summer.

I've known of Dead Poetic for a while now but have never remembered to check out more of their stuff. Definitely potential though and I should get around to listening to more of their stuff.

I'm not so much a fan of screaming as I am a fan of adding a little more emotion with the screams. Some of that stuff is just flat out annoying. I can't stand any growling. And I hate when they put in the screaming just because they feel like they have to... a lot of these guys have a good voice, they should use it because a lot of the screaming sounds the same and just generalizes them. It's so disappointing when a song is ruined by some silly screamo when it's not needed.

One of my favorite bands is Funeral for a Friend. I don't think they're post-hardcore anymore because they haven't had much screaming in their songs since their debut full length album "Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation". I can listen to any single one of their songs at any time. They're my second favorite band right behind Rise Against.

Loving the Thursday songs so far. Haven't gotten a chance to listen to the others yet but I will soon.

Thats pretty much how I feel also. Screaming should be used to add emotion to the song, and I'm not a big fan of growling either. Sometimes the occasional scream just adds so much more to a song imo.
