This was a good review. One thing about music is it can be very emotional. It can put you in a happy or sad mood. You can also have a reminder of memories like this album did for you. Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing.
Wage War is one of my top 10 fav bands, undeniably one of the best modern metalcore outfits out there. The lyrics to Youngblood is just soo haunting everytime I hear it. It just speaks too many truths, btw Seth, their guitarist is like the nicest guy I have ever met.
BTW sorry for the triple post. It's all coming to my head as I think more about it but I know exactly what your friend went through and I'm really sorry for your loss. I struggle almost every single day still and have suicidal thoughts. I thought I had gotten away from those demons years ago after getting off meds but new demons always appear. IG that's just the way of life. I know it sounds crazy too but if some of my favorite bands stopped playing music then that would probably be it for me. Not saying that the newer bands don't pump out greatness. I'm always eager for the next big thing that everyone is talking about like Silent Planet, Knocked Loose, and now Polaris but my point is when a band who I've loved for well over 10-15 years like KsE calls it quits it's going to be a hard day for me. I know that their new material isn't always perfect but when they hit they hit hard. And I don't ever recall ever really crying hard to their songs because I never really listened to the lyrics, pain and emotion the way I did with the other bands I mentioned but now I know exactly why they've always stayed as one of my favorite bands to this day. I just relate to them all of the time and that's why I absolutely cannot wait to save up for the inspired sleeve I have in mind with their song titles! In short, I still struggle and try to figure out ways to make myself less stressed out. I know people who are into fitness make it seem like that's the main answer but it only helps so much for me until the demons crawl through the gate later on. I'm not a perfect human though. I know some of the questionable decisions I've made and still may make, but it's part of life and growing. Maybe that's why I never seem to have a girlfriend lol. Who knows.
Thats deep man. I used to struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts all the time. Especially between the ages 15-25, im 31 now. I was on all kinds of meds. I just found my way of blocking them out and ignoring negative and toxic thoughts and feelings. Its weird cuz they're old, but my favorite band is Pink Floyd. They were my first band that I obsessed over and the reason why I started playing guitar. One if the band members passed away and the others are getting pretty old(70's) and the thought of them dying gives me so much anxiety.
@@AmongTheFence Yeah, in high school I probably had it but it really took a nose drive when I graduated, went off to college while my parents also got divorced as well as overworking myself. I still overwork myself but it's a lot more controlled and in some ways more relaxing being my own boss. I'm currently waiting for some GH orders. But yeah, I was honestly thinking you were a bit younger. Idk if my age exactly lol. Anti depressants for me were a bit of a crutch. Sure, they helped at first but uping dosage constantly didn't make me feel very sane. It was weird.
People always guess I'm about 25-27 haha. I hated antidepressant because not only did it help me not feel anxious, but I didn't feel anything at all after a while.
Great review. Not a fan of the new album. For me, my go to band as far as feeling depressed, sad, and angry is Counterparts, followed by some of the new era metalcore side by Senses Fail. I relate to Buddy a lot considering that I went through the same shit as him as far as sexuality and depression goes. Had a bit of a drinking phase as well but nothing too extreme. It was brief. But I have one of their lyrics tatted since the song is about reincarnation and the album was released just 3 days after my cat died. My mom is Buddist so I thought it was all relatable even if I'm not sure where I stand religiously. Beartooth is another band that got me through my whole drinking phase around that time in my early twenties. I'm 27 now BTW. Killswitch Engage is another obvious choice too. Howard and now Jesse both went through some shit and it's great to see them come on top of it all. Movements and some pop-punk I can dig if I'm exclusively feeling sad. But that's my whole story as far as bands that really got me through some shit lyrically.
Thats deep man! Thanks for sharing some of your story. I dont like being sad so when I'm down I usually try to listen to something that pulls me out of it. When I do want to listen to something that relates I usually turn to RHCP, Korn, NF, Underoath or Counterparts. Counterparts has been a big one for me lately.
