So All This New "Heavy" Music That's Been Coming Out...

I can dig it. The majority of it is pretty brutal and atonal. The heavy parts are fucking massive, the fast parts and phenomenally fast and the technical riffs/solos are moving and tight like a tiger (heh)...but it's mostly background noise now. Maybe it's just the record effect, but most of these bands nowadays are all really starting to either sound the same or become extreme background noise. Maybe my musical taste is just changing or, trying not to sound like a pretentious prick, maybe it's maturing. I've gotten past the whole "HEAVY IS THE SHIT!! FUCK YEA!" phase in my musical journey. Granted, I still do appreciate it and love it as much as I did but now I'm more about mixing things and musical maturity and sophistication (AKA mixing in jazz fusion parts after a mathcore riff in 19/16, that only an ass like me would get), which some people here in this town don't seem to understand or appreciate. Sometimes I wish I grew up somewhere else. Hopefully I'll be able to move to Austin and attend UT like I'm planning on doing. Ehh that's enough. With that said go check out the new Despised Icon album "Day of Mourning." It's chock-full of extreme background noise. Still enjoyable though :]
