Selling Out? You don't know about it until you see this....

You may have heard of the band Black Tide. Young musicians. The singer/lead guitarist is my age. I remember seeing them live, they were the first band I'd ever seen! (they opened for Avenged Sevenfold).

They were a kind of metal revival kind of band. And their covers included: Hit The Lights by Metallica and Prowler by Iron Maiden.
This is them:

It had been a while since I'd heard them. I listened to them for the first time in like a year, today.
This is what they look like now:


This is how they sounded:

If that isn't selling out... what is? XD

But imo the new style is still good. It's just different. But damn look at the vocalist!!

Wow, they did change a lot. Still good, though.

Yeah gone from being a nu-metallica type band to a bullet for my valentine kind of band.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

But those fleshholes Gabriel (the singer) has are horrible!

nu-metallica? what the hell is that. There is only metallica, and their always awesome. Never compare them to a nu band. or with that kind of music,

Its like what In Flames did. They sound WAY differant then what the use to sound like.

lol I didn't mean nu in that way. I mean nu as in new. (I just wrote nu for short). Because they had a slight metallica style to their playing. They were obviously really inspired by Metallica.

Yeah I know what you mean. But partly the change was due to them wanting to be able to play their music live, the way they sound on the album. (because previously they recorded it with overdubbing (is that what it's called..? I dunno the real word), like with 3 guitar parts. As for the clean vocals...I dunno wtf that's about. :/
And tbh I do still like them. But yes, A Sense Of Purpose is certainly inferior to most of their previous albums. Though in Reroute to Remain you could already see they had that kind of style coming.
This is how I rate their albums:

1 Clayman (one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to in my life)
2. Come Clarity (I know...weird but I really love it)
3.The Jester Race
4.Colony
5.Whoracle
6. A Sense Of Purpose
7.Subterranean (lots of people don't really like it that much but I prefer it to some of their albums)
8.Lunar Strain
9.Soundtrack To Your Escape
10.Reroute To Remain (honestly hated this album... it just doesn't seem like In Flames)
