What Are You Listening To?

Asher Roth spitting as sick as malaria.

Eh? That song is from 2004. DEP essentially created mathcore, and they play music that is confounding to mos- you know what, never mind. You compared DEP to Korn, which is the funniest thing I have ever heard.

You say DEP created mathcore? when did they come out because I was under the impression that Meshugga (or however you spell their name) defined that role. I lived in indiana for a while which happens to house a great deal of mathcore bands. and not to offend DEP or anything but they sound a lot like mathcore band Norma Jean. I thought DEP was interesting and looked them up. Norma Jean did come out first I noted so I was like "how did DEP create mathcore when several mathcore bands came out before them?" And for the comparison to korn listen to how the lead singer sings. I don't know how you can't see the comparison but I can hear it. Like I said before I'm not beating up DEP, I think their legit but as for defining Mathcore which is a genre I've been apart of for many years is going a little over board.

Ok, I'll give you that. Created really isn't the term. I thought of Meshuggah almost immediately after I wrote that. But honestly, mathcore is essentially the barest descriptor of what DEP is. I'm not going to win any name-listing contests, metal isn't my thing anymore, but comparing that band to Korn is flat out dumb. I'll give you the possibility that the singer sings a little like Davis for the verse before sounding nothing like him at all, so maybe you listened for a few seconds before turning it off, but the instruments (which is what metal is really about, in the end) don't relate to Korn an iota.

Oh, my bad. I listened to it half way the first time before I wrote that. I wasn't comparing the whole band to Korn because I agree, they sound nothing like them. It was just the voice I guess that got those comparisons out of me.
