Black Dahlia Murder or White Chapel

Which do you prefer? I have heard a lot of hype about WC lately, but I have always been partial to BDM.

P.S. I just realized this was a Black vs. White (not racial)

qhitechapel,i just wish that he would change the pitch of his voice sometimes.

Black Dahlia Murder IMO

Black Dahlia Murder by far. Cant wait for TUesday. Whtiechapel is not very good in my opinion.

BDM by far.

White Chapel, though both suck White Chapel made a moderately enjoyable song., BDM just sounds like Bring me the Horizon.

tbdm all the way

Neither.

White Chapel, though both suck White Chapel made a moderately enjoyable song., BDM just sounds like Bring me the Horizon.

No, no, no. BDM does not sound like Bring Me The Horizon, unless they changed over the years. Bring Me The Horizon is awful tripe. God, I always figured the scenesters (most people think I'm one of 'em... blah!) just couldn't hear when they praised them.

I have nothing wrong with the way they look, because that'd be a bit odd coming from me. I just think they're awful.

...as if their music is any better? :lol:

Yeah and that's fine. I'm not even a big fan, just like a few songs. But I always see this in comments against them or at least being brought up somewhere down the line.

Carcass.

Neither are very good, BDM are the least boring of the two. Darth-Caedus

both are bad and mainstream garbage.nimatoad2000

Just listened to 'Possession' by Whitechapel. It has some of the lowest pitched growls I've ever heard, so they get some cool points for that. I pick them over BDM, for sure.

[QUOTE="nimatoad2000"]both are bad and mainstream garbage.Juggernaut140

id go with white chapel but id prefer Arch Enemy or knights of the abyss

[QUOTE="Saturos3091"][QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"]Neither are very good, BDM are the least boring of the two. Juggernaut140

I don't like any of them because I've never even heard of them.

[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"][QUOTE="nimatoad2000"]both are bad and mainstream garbage.nimatoad2000

BDM was more in the Cannibal Corpse realm with their earlier stuff. They're not a "scene metal" band, or at least they weren't when I listened to them a lot.

No. BDM is metal, not particularly good at the styIe though in my opinion. Whitechapel has never been metal and I never even hear them being called metal. Online or even on the streets and in school they're always called deathcore, and that's a perfect description for their music. Not saying there can't be a good deathcore band, but it's what they are and I don't like them.Saturos3091

Deathcore is a subgenre of metal. It stems from death metal, for crying out loud. Your lack of interest in them doesn't negate them falling into the metal genre.

[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"][QUOTE="nimatoad2000"]both are bad and mainstream garbage.nimatoad2000

what is wrong with being an easily accessible band? It is a good gateway for people to get into good metal. Also BDM is not -core at all, they have no breakdowns, the vocals while screaming, are nothing like metalcore and I really can't see any comparison. If you could explain how other than it being easily accessable maybe I could see why but right now I don't.

Why do people group BDM in with craptacular scene trash like Suicide Silence. I will never understand.

[QUOTE="nimatoad2000"][QUOTE="Juggernaut140"] You really have no right hating a band for being mainstream seeing as you're such a big Megadeth/Slayer fan >_> I love both but The Black Dahlia Murder is much better. One of my favorite bands iloverikku11

[QUOTE="nimatoad2000"] you should get your metal licence removed for that statement. im not a huge slayer fan, i love their no mercy - seasons work, hate everything else. im a big megadeth fan , but megadeth isnt mainstream on purpose, the sellout albums were, yes, but not the first 5 and endgame.. BDM sounds to me like its targeted twards the same kind of people who like the -cores and nu metal, melodic death seems to get the same kinds of fans, its easily accessable and appeals to people who think its rly brutal. the band seems like a buncha teenagers trying to be an awesome metal band. sound extremely mediocre to me.nimatoad2000

fair enough, but there are alot of melo death bands that seem to have a pretty good rep among true metal fans (In Flames, Arsis, Carcass, Ensfierum, Dissection, (kinda) Amon Amarth) so I don't think that being a band that prefers melodic over super heavy should be compared to Dragonforce. THey share one similar characteristic but are very different. (like metal and -core.)

[QUOTE="Saturos3091"] They're also the more metal of the two (since they actually tread into metal territory unlike Whitechapel). Meh to both though. Neither has ever released anything half decent.Saturos3091

I was thinking this thread would be about the actual murders. I walk away disappointed. Crypto138

Oh, and anyone who's never heard either of these bands should probably listen to these songs:

Whitechapel - "Father Of Lies"

Whitechapel - "Messiahbolical"

The Black Dahlia Murder - "I Will Return"

The Black Dahlia Murder - "I'm Charming"

Some of their best songs IMO.
