Breakdowns have been in metal long before "core" genres. I dig em all
There are so many breakdowns in countless "tr00" (

) band's songs though, the list could be infinite. Here's a couple random ones though
2:00

Here's the first song I ever heard with a part I knew to call a breakdown. And while it's pretty tame compared to modern breakdowns, it's still pretty fucking cool. Here it is, cued up to the good part:
WAR DANCE!

I thought a breakdown was like what happens at 1:35.
edit: not metal but it is Frank so that makes it OK.

Who said this had anything to do with their hairstyles or choices of clothing? That band is flat out lame, period.

I'll just attribute it to being a Jersey thing, and that I wouldn't understand.

I feel lucky that I like both August Burns Red and Morbid Angel. There's plenty of great metalcore just like there's plenty of shitty death metal... However, I do totally understand the desire to distance oneself from that movement when there's shit like Attila and Asking Alexandria plaguing art and mankind in general.

I like this post a lot. Not in the specific case of ABR, I don't know there stuff, but the general statement.

I agree with both of these posts

I like August Burns Red's first two albums, kinda lost interest after that

Timestamp @ 10 seconds, that synth guy... he's just bracing and head banging? Like the piano is the only thing keeping him from launching into space?
