It's easy to get more fans and it has nothing to do with sounding "fresh". The more generic you sound, the wider your appeal will be, because everyone will find something that vaguely sounds "good" to their ears. That's why these genre mishmash amalgams/abominations are getting so much widespread success vs. bands that have their own personal identity without relying on cliches and familiar, tired structures and riff types to hook listeners who maybe haven't listened to quite as many extreme bands.

FOR FUCK SAKE!!!! Is this guy always such a bell end when it comes down to Progressive metalcore. I'm sick and tired of reviewers slating work just because they don't like that genre or record label. Just for one second get off your high horse and actually look at the truth… Born of Osiris and alot of other Sumerian bands such as After the Buriel and The Faceless have all reached global succes and have a masive fanbase and popularity due to the fresh sound that they produce. Infact there are alot more clones of mainstream metal than Progressive Metalcore. At the end of the day, it doesn't come down to weather YOU like the music, but if the fans do, and thats an area which BOO and Sumerian deffinately don't lack in.

haha what a great review. even as a fan of deathcore i thought this plus 99% of the bands on Sumerian are complete shit. (Blackguard are techinically on Sumerian which is why i put 99% instead of 100.) theyre all just wanking around playing emotionless shit. no feeling in this music at all.

It has progressed to the point of people claiming they listen to "tech" music to feel smart. Unfortunately, bands like BOO are now considered part of that genre.
