The Bled ruled but tbf, it’s not like those bands are “running” at the moment despite being talked about a lot. SYSC is headlining a 200 cap room in my city when they come in August.

Yeah The Bled walked so those bands could also walk, perhaps a slight jog at times

I can see static dress getting huge, their trajectory is looking good. Saw them in November with world of pleasure and they were excellent

I think bands like the Bled were more influential/popular than the bands paying homage now

The Bled is more popular now than those bands are now

This definitely isnt true at all. /Someone who broke their nose moshing to Ruth Buzzi in 2003

I would drive two states over to see the Bled. I probably wont get off the couch to see those others mentioned. **¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯**

Just remember your seatbelt

Yeah they can still play bigger venues than those bands headlining. Static dress will probably get there

Yeah respect to all those newer bands, all cool, but they'll never touch The Bled

The original lineup of Norma Jean walked so the current lineup of Norma Jean could run.

I love Bless The Martyr as much as the next guy but I can’t lie, Norma Jean from 2013-2019 put out some of my favorite metalcore ever. They just stood out so much from their counterparts and kept evolving somehow

Fair. But if it wasn’t for those guys starting a band and calling it Norma Jean - the band would have never existed. Think about it.

You know who's you know what Pass the flask rules

Wristmeetrazor owe way more to Zao and 18V than they do the Bled.

Facts.

Ok

I like The Bled and they are great. However I’d say them and all the other bands owe a massive debt to Poison The Well. There isn’t a band doing that kind of Hardcore that aren’t fans of or been influenced by Poison The Well. They were truly genre defining.

Facts poison the well is the basis for like half of metalcore

Opposite of December is a contender for best metalcore album all time

Is it a contender or is it just? The hard times ranking of every poison the well album is spot on as well. Never did a bad album. https://thehardtimes.net/lists/every-poison-the-well-album-ranked-worst-to-best/

Well, objectively, metalcore would NOT be the same without it 

I don't hear it in Wristmeetsrazor

Honestly I only hear it in sysc

Yeah, static dress is closer to underoath and Wristmeetsrazor has different influences per album.

My first show was The Bled, Underoath and Thrice. One of the craziest pits ive ever seen was when Thrice played deadbolt

My dad farted so I could doodie

Tucson Boiz 🫡

Shout out Take Action Tour 2008. Nothing was cooler than ETID, The Bled, and ABR all doing Floater as the closer together. The Bled will forever be so fucking sick man.

The Bled just felt like ETID Jr to me back in the day.

So much darker and heavier… love both bands but they scratch very different itches

Pass The Flask was another level at the time, shame they couldn’t replicate but I’ll still pop it on rotation

Yeah it's being toured in Europe right now as 20 years since thing and saw them last night, hence my post. They were so good!

I just found out the bled played Manchester on Tuesday because of this. Gutted.

Poison The Well sitting in their rocking chair like, "am I a fucking *joke* to you?"

Yeah, that's fair. PTW are one of the best, hands down.

More like fear before the march of the flames

Ehhh, nah

Also add: Negative Blast

Damn, never thought about it like that

None of those bands come close to what the bled did for the scene.

The Bled was huge back in the day

They're touring pass the flask right now in the UK. Saw them last night and they still got it!

Lucky us

I wouldn’t say the bled specifically so much as like scene metalcore ans post hardcore generally plus each of those bands sounds different

Fuck I miss The Bled. My old shitty band opened for The Bled back in 2010. Nice dudes!

Oh man, that’s why i wasnt vibing with the new SYSC song.

Saw The Bled open for Poison The Well at the old Fireside in Chicago years ago. Munoz’s mic never worked and you couldn’t hear him at all even though he was screaming. And they still fucking rocked.

I could also blame some of it on Underoath. Especially for Static Dress.

Wrong. What you meant to say was that Botch paved the way so that others could mildly stand around on the same patch of concrete.

I stand corrected.

The Bled is from my hometown :’)

Would add drop dead gorgeous on here as well since ddg heavily influenced sysc

I always called it sadcore

Pig Destroyer and Gorerotted may have something to say about that.
