Underoath, August Burns Red, and Emery at La Zona Rosa
Metalcore bands August Burns Red and Blessthefall fit all too snugly into the box of clichés that comedian Brian Posehn bitched about in his song “Metal By Numbers,” following the tired Maiden-meets-Converge metalcore formula of ponderous, tap-happy riffs and way too many chug-a-lug breakdowns. But give credit to ABR for (somewhat reflexively, no doubt) trying to upend those expectations on its recent Constellations, experimenting with looser, jazzier guitar lines and stepping away from the uniformly meat-and-potatoes metalcore sound of 2007’s Messengers.
