War of Ages - feedback

I've listened to every clip out there on iTunes from there two CD's. I like what I hear. Sounds like good, raw, brutal metalcore. Good harsh vocals. I'm thinking of buying their two CD's. Used ones can be had for super cheap on Amazon. Anybody have these guys stuff? Do/did you like it? Would/will I like it? LOL.

My metalcore tastes are AILD, August Burns Red, LS - Reborn.....stuff like that. The harsher, crunchier stuff with none or at least a minimum of clean vocals.

I'm going to take this opportunity to reccomend the band BORN OF OSIRIS to you...heavy, technical Metalcore w/ NO clean vocals, cool keys and deep, deathy growls...I'm going to see them in July.

I've never heard WAR OF AGES...sorry.

SOUNDS LIKE MY CUP OF TEA! Thanks for the heads up!

No problem...my son turned me on to them and I think they're great.

From what i've heard, War Of Ages would be up your alley. I'm not a huge 'core fan but I do like KSW and BTA quite a bit. WOA is not as technical as those bands and the early stuff seems more to the hardcore side. It's cheap, give it a shot.

"Fat fingering". Ahhhh reminds me of prom night.

OH....yeah...Killswitch is pretty good too.

War of Ages is one of my favorites, the newer albums are better than the first one, but all of them are good, definately in the vein of Killswitch Engage. One thing that is good about War of Ages is not every song sounds the same, like you can get with a lot of metalcore bands, the vocals are kind of typical for metal core but I find them understandalbe compaired to others. And I like the guitar work, the guitarist for WOA actually know how to play and now how to write/ play good solos. For a used price I think you will be happy.

AWESOME! That's what I was looking for. Thanks bud.

All I have is Fire From the Tomb. It's a pretty good album. I need to get their latest. I've seen these guys live quite a few times. The first couple of times they were called Point Zero. Not sure if they ever released any albums under that name or not.

Didn't know that. Very cool. Thanks bro. :flames:

I do believe that they released a demo under that name.....I'm not 100% sure....and I do not have it.
