been listening a fuck load to Jeromes Dream and Usurp Synapse lately.

Usurp Synapse do those great noisecore guitars and the melodic and pretty bass, with raspy ugly vocals.

favourite tracks: "When Good Pets Go Bad" and "You Thought You Were Special, You Were Wrong". the bass on the first is gorgeous. so are the guitars on the latter.


then Jeromes Dream comes around with some of the most ill sounding fucking riffs you'll ever hear. easily my favourite of the two, seeing as how I'll go nuts over anything with this amount of feedback. I love how they do these beautiful things, but don't get carried away. the beauty is never obvious. it's hidden, concealed within the Armageddon. and they are tech as fuck, with freaky breaks and drops. they will quite simply fuck you up. finally: the screamed vocals are amazing. not too fan of the filtered vocals, but they are okay. the effects just make everything sound too same-y for me. fortunately, it doesn't matter, because everything else is perfect.

favourite tracks: "Unreleased #6", "Everyday at 3:06", and "The last time we talked". the first one has a melodic sort of '90s alternative/punk rock thing going for it, which I really like. the next two are their definite finest moments, blending the beautiful with the ugly, all whilst being crushingly tech.

Gonna have to be the outcast here and go with Usurp.

JEROMES DREAM

i love US, got their entire collection, but it's nowhere near as flawless as JDs.

US got ripped off a lot in the mid 00's tho, i have yet to hear one band that could rehash would JD created.

had to post my babys:

[wounderaser]

both two of my favorite bands ever.. i don't know how to decide. some part of me is leaning more towards usurp synapse though. i have huge respect for both of these bands for writing unconventional screamo with bizarre guitar chords and noise elements. i really liked the fax arcana and rep seki too, so the usurp synapse legacy really has it's toll on me.

[Cromlech]

Usurp Synapse no doubt. JD is better when it comes to musicianship but be real the vocals are garbage.
