Bandung Hardcore: Great Font for the Mosh Pit or the Gridiron

By Cues, at Blog Cues Screamo Nov 21, 2010 6:30 am

Gritty-textured font Bandung Hardcore displays a take-no-prisoners attitude.Greetings, typophiles. Prepare to point your culture compass to Bandung, the capital of West Java, and home to bands like Cherry Bombshell, Sonic Torment, and Burgerkill. Why? Because Java's thriving underground music scene is the inspiration behind Bandung Hardcore(free), a font filled with head-banging attitude from Indonesian designer Gilang Purnama.
Gilang Purnama knows his audience. Bandung Hardcore is a traditional slab serif, but styled for a night of thrash club culture. Its gritty, rubbed-off texture and rugged all-caps styling carry just the right amount of street vibe. The font plays best at sizes 48 point and up; lower than 48 and its textures become muddy and lose their edge.
Bandung Hardcore has no lowercase. Hey, who whispers in a mosh pit? What this font does have is a full set of numerals, punctuation essentials, an @ sign that will not be messed with, and an ampersand poised for action. Extra points to the designer for letting the texture vary from character to character, giving any word they form a stunning graphic quality. The L could use a lighter touch. The hardcore staple word Hell, for instance, prints out of balance. Also some letter pairs require personal attention to prevent words breaking up visually--but no matter, we can still set the words SMASH U in a fashion that broadcasts our alma mater.
If you're not musically inclined there's nothing to stop you from taking Bandung Hardcore for a ride in another direction, say over to the stadium for some head-banging of another sort. Slab serifs are a traditional choice for sports jerseys, team logos, and game-day graphics. This font does the job like a veteran of the field. However you play Bandung Hardcore, keep it personal. This download is licensed for noncommercial use only. You'll find the designer's signature by typing ^, so give credit where credit is due.
Cross-cultural, power-packed, and from the heart, Gilang Purnama's Bandung Hardcore rocks for heavy metal songbirds and hard-charging fans of the fifty-yard dash, all ready to rumble.
Note: To use this font, unzip the folder and install the .otf file in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts. Note that the font won't appear in your applications until you close and re-open them.

BURGER KILL TIGA TITIK HITAM LYRICS

Ketika semua bayang menjauh dari tubuh
Dan ketika semua angan enggan menyapa
Terbaring aku, terjebak aku
Di keheningan dalam ketiadaan


Kucoba cahayai ruang jiwa ini
Terus berharap dan terangi
Kucoba sembunyikan suara hati
Terus menampik dan berlari


Kutenggelam dalam kelam
Dan menjauh tanpa bayang
Kucoba menelan luka yang tak kunjung usai


Teriakan namamu
Dikesunyian hatiku
Meraba, merangkul suryamu
Dikehangatan jiwamu
Saat kebenaran tak lagi bermakna


Aku tersandar dan terdiam
Kemana akan kubawa diriku pergi
Semakin jauh, semakin rapuh


Lepaskan diri, jatuh membusuk
Biarkan aku, hilang .. Muak !


Terluka .. Aku .. Mencari

UK metal band branches out

Bring Me the Horizon builds on heavy metal with electronica elements and ambient sounds.
Jona Weinhofen is Bring Me the Horizon’s new guitarist — his first studio work with the Yorkshire, England quintet, There is a Hell, Believe Me, I’ve Seen It. There is a Heaven, Let’s Keep It a Secret, came out last month — but he’s no outsider. His old band, I Killed the Prom Queen, befriended BMTH back in 2007, opening a UK tour for them and hosting them on an Australian Prom Queen tour the following year. When Weinhofen joined BMTH last year, the transition was natural.

“I was in another band called Bleeding Through and I bumped into the guys from Horizon early last year,” Weinhofen recalls. “I found out they were about to fire their guitarist and they found out I was about to quit my current band, so it all made sense.”

As fan and friend, Weinhofen has perspective on BMTH, one of the most polarizing new metal bands. Their 2006 debut album, Count Your Blessings, earned critical acclaim and a sizable fan base but 2008’s Suicide Season caused a schism between those who loved the album and those who pointedly did not. In readers’ polls in Kerrang! and Rock Sound, BMTH and Suicide Season were nominated in both Best and Worst of 2008 categories.

“Count Your Blessings got them noticed but it was lumped in with bands that had a similar sound,” Weinhofen says. “With Suicide Season, they’d been touring more, meeting other bands, and the plan was to reinvent the band’s sound. It was praised by press because it’s a solid album and [for] the ballsy moves the band made. At the same time, they were seen as shunning some of their core fans. Any band that tries new things is going to piss off people who like their old music, but the aim was to broaden the sound and gain new fans. Likewise with the new album.”

Weinhofen’s history with BMTH (Weinhofen, frontman Oli Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls) and his novice status were useful while recording There is a Hell. His perspective reinforced BMTH’s foundational elements and his new-guy role allowed him to suggest possibilities beyond their standard mode.

“There were new influences; I have bands that I listen to that the other guys don’t and vice versa,” Weinhofen says. “When we wrote the first song, which ended up being ‘It Never Ends,’ we thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of weird but let’s see where it goes.’ And we just had that attitude with the rest of the album. We didn’t want any limitations, but we wanted the music to make sense. We managed to find ways to tie in our electronica and ambient influences into the heavier stuff. It’s a little different from Suicide Season and we tried new things, but it still has the core Horizon sound that the band invented for itself.”

There is a Hell is slightly more serious in tone than the party-out-of-bounds vibe on Suicide Season, and instead addresses the consequences of that lifestyle. So far, the new album hasn’t profoundly impacted Bring Me the Horizon’s live presentation, although there’s a growing sense that it will.

“We’re only playing two or three things off the new album,” says Weinhofen. “It usually takes about six months before the fans fall in love with the new songs. The set feels quite choppy/changey at times, but the new songs have been received really well so far. It feels strange playing ‘It Never Ends,’ with an electronica/rock and roll feel, and then playing ‘Pray for Plagues,’ which is straight-up death metal. It makes sense to fans because they see us as the same band. But it does feel a bit strange going from old songs to new songs.”

Trivium Host Guitar Shredder Contest

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) - Though this contest is reserved for Trivium World Fan Club Members only, we thought you guys should be in the know of a killer guitar competition going on at Trivium.org right now. We've seen footage of the guys in Trivium watching and loving fan-submitted covers of their songs (check the video below), so it's no surprise that the Florida metal quartet is now asking fans to tackle their intricate solos for a chance to win a Trivium trophy, Trivium prize pack, and overall bragging rights for being an ultimate shredder in the eyes of the band. The guys write from their site, "The time has come for all axemen (and women) in the TriviumWorld community to get their chops ready.
That's right, it's the moment we've all been waiting for, the Shredders Championships Part Two: Trivium Solo Contest!! Unlike Part One, this is not an air guitar contest, this is for the guitar aficionados out there. Pick your favorite Trivium guitar solo and create a video of you actually playing that solo to the best of your ability. The best entries will then be voted on by TriviumWorld members and the top three will move on to the finals where the band themselves will pick the winner!!" Find out more information right here. Trivium are currently in pre-production on their 4th studio album and follow-up to 2008's Shogun. The guys will hit the studio starting in October with producer Colin Richardson. Watch this space for more updates as they begin the recording process.

What is emo music

Emocore has been subject of much debate since it first appeared. So...emo is a genre of rock music. At first, the term was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk in the '80s. Later, 'emocore' was used to describe the DC scene and regional scenes related.



The biggest names of the period are Fire Party, Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, Embrace, Beefeater, Gray Matter, and Moss Icon.

The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s. In the mid '90s, 'emo' began to reflect the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi. Bands like 'Texas is the reason' and 'Sunny Day Real Estate' introduced a more indie rock style of emo, less violent than it's predecessor. "Indie emo" survived until the late '90s. As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the more mainstream style, creating a style of music that has now earned the moniker emo within popular culture.

Whereas, even in the past, the term emo was used to identify a wide variety of bands, the breadth of bands listed under today's

emo is even more vast, leaving the term "emo" as more of a loose identifier than as a specific genre of music.

What is Screamo

Screamo is a small tight knit grassroots musical community. It is linked directly to emo (yet another thing most of you kids know next to nothing about). Screamo emerged in the early mid 90's both in the states and in parts of europe, some early screamo bands were Anomie, Saetia, Portraits Of Past, and Orchid. Screamo proved to be a faster more abrasive counter part to it's parent genre emotive hardcore (emo). Some key active screamo bands today are: Loma Prieta, Danse Macabre, Ampere, Comadre, and La Quiete.
Now for the final key pieces of info: NO, screaming does not make you "screamo", screamo is deemed as such based on the actual music, sure the vocals come into play but it has most to do with the actual music, for example Neil Perry, Yaphet Kotto and a few others have actual written completely instrumental screamo songs.
The following bands are not screamo: underoath, silverstein, alesana, bless the fall, the used, from first to last etc. These bands are aggresive modern rock/edgy pop punk with accented screamed vocals.
