In a interview with Nocturne, Herman Li released a statement to the question of 'gimmicks for bands to stand out'.
Quote:
'To be honest, I think that it's great that some bands set themselves apart because I'm sick of all these bands trying to sound the same. I mean I thought metalcore was going to die years ago. It's 2017 and people are still coming out playing the same thing. Fuck. I can understand that it's cool. It's kind of a scene, and you go out and have a good time. But, musically, they are not challenging themselves because maybe they haven't grown into it yet. Some bands like Bring Me The Horizon, I never liked their music, but I can see they are challenging themselves and grown to another level. But some bands just keep doing the same thing. They're not doing their own style, they keep doing a style that everyone else is doing. That's fair, it takes the time to grow but it has to be organic, so I'm contradicting myself. How can people grow if it's not organic, that's what they want to play and that's how it is? So don't listen to me.'
I somehow feel what he means, i can't get into modern metalcore as well (i rather stay with 90s/early 2000 metalcore).
But as well, i didn't knew Dragonforce was still a thing.
What's your opinion?
