It seems to me that an abundance of bands in hardcore/metal/posthardcore genres are beginning to use more and more synth/keyboard...etc. in their music, to me some bands pull it off as it fits their music, but too many bands attempt to cram it into their songs...does this bother you?

not if it's done well.

for example: dillinger escape plan - ire works.


edit: also, it's not really new, it's just becoming more popular.

[Racethesun23]

yea good correction, thats what i meant..a lot of bands use it well, but idk it seems like its being abused.

[mulcahy67]

as long as they dont start using the keytar, its all good.

[AndrewIcex]

Meh.

[Racethesun23]

what is your take on a band like: horse the band? Greta Knights? I see stars? Asking Alexandria?

[kbi the crowing]

not saying that synth can't be used in a driving way but in rock music, I like it in moderation or in the background rather than a driving force.

Yes yes yes yes love that album.

What about Sky Eats Airplane? Their use of it is pretty adept, IMO.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Random Thought: No one looks cool playing Keytar.

I'm definitely not a big fan of synth keyboards. That being said, Thursday does it pretty well.
