Trivium or JFAC?

[KH Luxord]

Alright,

I am taking a poll on which metal band you like better: Trivium, or Job For A Cowboy.

I personally enjoy Trivium, and totally hate JFAC. Trivium is an awesome band, especially with Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr, while with JFAC, you can't understand a word they are saying because it is more of a growling metal.

Trivium is thrash metal, and has good music to it, and is not really about anger.
While JFAC, is more of an angry metal, the worst death metal band ever.

Also, Trivium is an understandable name for a metal band, but Job for a Cowboy sounds country. But, if you listen to their songs, I can almost guarantee that you will crap in your pants.

So, who do you like?

Considering neither is either good nor metal, I'd have to say I hate both.

Trivium is kick ass but JFAC is horrible. My friend Chris loves them and all he does is go around doing the "RHEE! RHEE!" sound that sounds like a squealing pig. Albeit it's funny as hell, they still suck.

Trivium is awesome. And I assume you voted for them. If you try to listen to Embedded by JFAC, you can't understand a word they are saying. It makes even Darkest Hour look like The Beatles. JFAC is so heavy that you can't understand a word they are saying. They do a whole bunch of growling, at least, that is what it sounds like until the high pitched scream comes.

I tried looking up the lyrics for JFAC, and they had looked like they had no comparison to what they were actually saying...

Melodic metalcore. More "core" than "metal", obviously. Nothing to do with Thrash metal. Just because you copy everything Metallica has done doesn't mean you're part of their legacy.

Seriously with a capital "serious". I believe the official position at the archives is that they were only accepted for their first EP, also. I could be wrong. But in any case, they're just core-infested.

Yeah, I remember that statement being there too. Trivium doesn't have many elements of metal.

Re: Trivium or JFAC?

Trivium is metal. They are more of a modern-day Metallica, but they scream a lot more.

Re: Trivium or JFAC?

Trivium's ok. I've never even heard Job for a Cowboy, but I'm guessing they suck before I even bother to.

I rather listen to As I Lay Dying or something else though, kthxbi.

P.S. You can always try wikipedia, but they are most certainly Metal in some way.

Trivium, of course.

No, it's not. It's metalcore. Metal-Archives is the most reliable source for this kind of stuff, definately not wikipedia.

Wikipedia definitely helps with defining band genres. Yeah, that is how I check what kind of metal a band is.

Go on Project Playlist - Job for a Cowboy and click the play button on Embedded.

First of all, click on the second one for Embedded (the one that says Artist Website), and listen to it from there. JFAC is a death metal band that has a really deep growling sound, with some of a black metal band element in it (high pitched shrieking vocals).

There are many other bands on Project Playlist, but the link that I gave you takes you to Job for a Cowboy's page.

As I Lay Dying isn't my favorite metal band, but they are ok.
As long as it is not death metal (pure) or black metal, I'm fine with it.

Pure Death Metal - Consists of low-pitched growled vocals, with heavily distorted guitars and singing much about death or a new world that comes out of the death of this world.

Black Metal (general) - Consists of high-pitched shrieking vocals, with extremely distorted guitars and bands of this genre are usually made up of one or two people. Black metal usually uses drum machines and guitar/bass machines rather than human drummers/guitarists/bassists. Black metal is different from any other genre because of the Satanic nature of the band and the lyrics. Some black metal bands (3 or more members) have been associated with church burnings, murders, and Satanic vandalism. One-man black metal bands usually are associated with public Satanic worshiping/preaching and arson.

So, don't listen to black metal. Death metal sucks, but it is better than black metal.

The best metal genres are Thrash Metal, Speed Metal, Heavy Metal, Metalcore, and Melodic Death Metal (Thrash Metal with distorted guitars).

Re: Trivium or JFAC?

Both completely suck. Just my opinion. Now excuse me while I go back to listening to Folly.

Re: Trivium or JFAC?

i actually like job for a cowboy.

looks like im the only one so far :/


oh well, as long as this doesnt turn into a "omg u suk ***. u liek jfac maor, go die" then this thread is cool with me. But like most threads like this they turn bad. quickly.


EDIT: i also agree with pete. id much rather listen to someone else. a lot of bands are better, but from the two, JFAC is better to me.
