This (weather is) the Apocalypse...

Okay, I know it's been a while. And I know the title is stupid. But it's a million degrees, the humidity's through the roof, and to be honest with what little will I have I've found it hard enough to pull myself away from MAG, let alone tap a bunch of pieces of plastic stuck to a metal slab in quick succession to form something cohesive (in fact, I'm only here because the MAG servers are undergoing maintenance). Well here goes.

Another band I've re-discovered are chaotic, melodic, tech-ie metalcore band This or the Apocalypse. It's a similar story as my discovery of The Ghost Inside; recommended to me through last.fm, I check out some of their music. I am somewhat impressed, if not pass it off with a mildly-interested "meh". The weeks go on, when suddenly out of the blue I have a "what the crap is this heaven-sent music and how did it get into my library?!" moment.

It hit me. Sounding vaguely at first (to the very mindless listener) like your average christian metalcore, or an easily-accessible melodic death metal band, it hit me how epic, pumping, melodic and technical their music is. No longer did the songs simply go over my head, now each was a fist-pumping, head-banging, lung-rippingly sing-along anthem, and though I didn't partake in any of the previously mentioned activities, I'd totally to all 3 if it was possible without your head exploding; from both the awesomeness of your actions and the music that's making you do it.

So for now I'll just sit here with my headphones in, bass up, nodding my head & tapping my foot along, and just leaving these here...
