Now here’s a concept album I can get behind

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Sergeant D

‘except that it won’t be boring’ is the little detail that takes this from a simple ‘lol breakdowns are sweet, huh bro?’ joke to a sublime piece of art

    A band’s percentage of breakdowns to other parts of songs can be vital in determining their siqness, my old band was around 9.2%, pretty weak, an average Risecore band can get up to 30-40% depending on their amount of whiny clean singing, and a myspace era deathcore band could maybe break 60%.

    To increase a breakdown percentage to the upper limits, 95-100%, would likely just shock and confuse us lesser beings unable to handle that level of mosh. Such a band would have to gradually increase their breakdown output in incremental amounts to prepare the audience for the eventual CD of nothing but breakdowns and pauses between breakdowns. If done right, this would be the future of heavy music, and our children would be living in a better world :’)

    My question is do ya put vocals/gang vokills on top, or just re-envision Bury Your Dead’s “Cover Your Tracks”/Childrens of Megatrons with 8 strings without vocals? Either way, yer workout just got fuckin’ hyphy bro

      I am the anon behind dis ackshually. For some reason I was listening to dopesmoker on my ipod at the gym and then I decided to switch to “the ghost inside”. Brilliance was then bestowed upon me and I had to inform sarge. However, this was one of the first questions I asked myself. I think it needs to be structured like dopesmoker, meaning about every 7-8 minutes there is a new gang vocal line and then the break downs just continue. so there will be 4-5 vocal lines that don’t really mean anything. The first one will be repeated at the beginning and the end. example: “THIS IS WHY WE’RE STILL HERE” *infinite breakdowns*. BRB copyrighting and contacting TGI

    Slowly this concept album would create an entire subculture on it’s own, a culture where breakdowns are seen as suberb riffs and amazing sweeping, and the breakdowns are so long they sound like 1 minute parts of silence, where you would see an entire pit of kids raging it up against invisible ninjas in complete silence.

    It’d be pretty funny / interesting to watch!

    I think Xibalba already came out with an album like that and are about to release another. I’m moshing just at the thought of it.

    Wormwood is about 45 mins long. Just cut the few songs that are at more than 60 bpm, and there you go.

    That little detail was great. When the poster mentioned Sleep, my first immediate thought was “oh taht really boring longass album?” and lol’ed hard when my thoughts were written down.

    I am yet to listen to the entirety of Dopesmoker. Last time I tried I got about 35 mins in before I had to turn it off. I think I like the idea of that album more than the album itself.

    The problem is, to keep shit interesting, you’d have to have different levels of breakdowns: your typical metalcore breakdown, then your even slower sorta-Meshuggah-inspired breakdowns, then your ultra-slow Acacia Strain-style breakdowns. At least three layers of breakdowns and meta-breakdowns. Just so that, even amongst mosh-worthy shit, there’s even more intense breakdowns coming.
