I went to check out the Hard Music Magazine website and looked under reviews to find a new Alters album. Alters was one of the first Christian bands I bought when I was saved. I like the new "hardcore" style okay and it was available at the local Christian book store. So I checked out a song on youtube title track of the album. I like it. I find I get more excited about what the lyrics say, more than I ever did in music before. This isn't a spectacular work of musical genius, but I like the words so I like it.

I'm not much of hardcore fan at all, but it's hard to ignore the passion behind some of the lyrics in certain bands

I agree. When someone writes something that you feel or have felt it's hard to ignore. I dig your writing you just posted btw. It's really really good.

Thanks, and yeah, I agree with you. I never payed attention to lyrics hardly at all, and then I went through a period where I was just really really angry all the time, and I listened to machine head, and God actually used that music and their lyrics to help me vent that anger, and then I would do a 180 and listen to Jesus Culture, and would find myself praying those songs and singing them from somewhere I never have before. Stavesacre and Flyleaf always get the best of my emotions in this respect to haha.

Stavesacre I like. Flyleaf I don't dislike, I don't really enjoy them like I do some bands though either. Machine Head, I used to have a few of their albums back in the day. I like them. I used to like, probably still do, P#$sing Razors as well.

Very good. Nothing like hearing the truth in such a melodic way. And then the last verse was rad!

Styper have been together for at least 10 years now. Putting out albums. Playing shows.
In 2003 they were back together and touring. They released a 'best of..'
In 2004 they released a live album from 2003 they recorded.
IN 2005 they did their first studio album since the breakup, Reborn.
In 2006 they released extended versions.
In 2007 they released a Greatest Hits Live in Puerto Rico, and also their original demo's when the band was called Roxx Regime.
In 2009 their next studio album Murder By Pride.
In 2011 they released The Covering, a cover album of their influences and favorites. Bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc..
In 2013 they released Second Coming, a re-recording/reworking of a selection of songs from their original time together from Yellow and Black Attack up til Against The Law.
In 2013 i believe they are also scheduled for a new studio album.
They have been touring this whole time, even outside the US. The bass player quit for a while, during all this. He was replaced by a guy who was in a band called Seriah, back in the day. But now the original bassist is back.

Also, many of these guys have been in other bands. Michael Sweet, the singer, did a number of solo albums, and sang for... i think it was Boston for a bit. Touring.
Robert Sweet did a solo album called Love Trash, as well as a hired studio drummer for a number of other albums. He was shortly in bands like King James, Blissed and others.
Oz Fox, guitarist, was in Sin Dizzy and joined Bloodgood for a while.
Tim Gaines, bassist, was also in Sin Dizzy and King James.

So yeah, these guys haven't really stopped, whether it's been Styper, or some other band.

I like this song. Even though it is not as direct as the one you posted by Sleeping Giants, it still puts my mind on the right thing. [video=youtube;JEq78REAq0A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEq78REAq0A[/video]

This Metalcore or hardcore, whatever...to me it took a metal twist in the mainstream of hardcore years ago to a metalcore. Even when they were doing it out of the east coast back in the late 80's early 90's I would have considered it metalcore then even though they were calling it hardcore. Most people call hardcore punk which it is hardcore punk technically and then there is punk rock. Anyway, my point is that the hardcore of today and metal are pretty closely, almost bridged together.

Yep. People can no longer tell if its hardcore or metalcore anymore haha. I remember old school metalcore, though. Zao, Spitfire and others. Back then it was cool, because it wasn't a defined genre, like it is now. There was a similar theme in the sound, but not duplicates. An they were heavy back then. Then it took a melodic scream/sing turn and became defined as a mainstream genre with that style. Ruined a good concept. There are a few good bands like that, but i wish people could find more unique ways of mixing metal and hardcore rather than just playing metalcore.
