qu'est-ce donc que le beatdown ?
Alors que le hxc tend à etre tres rapide, un groupe, Bulldoze, s'amuse à le jouer plus lentement, les tempi sont ralentis, la lourdeur des moshpart exacerbés, les lyrics ultra aggressifs et revenchards
le genre va evoluer peu à peu, tendant vers une radicalisation du son (toujours plus metal) et un considérable alourdissement des beatdown...malheureusement le genre tourne pas mal en rond, les groupes ayant souvent tendance à repeter inlassablement les clichés et gimmicks du genre, tant qu'on aime on considere ca comme un exercice de style ultra dansant et kiffant...globalement ca alterne des parties ultra two-step-able et des grosses moshpart, y'a souvent des passages destinés aux gros pile-on sur scene pour des gros choeurs.
mes groupes préférés du genre sont :
Bulldoze: créateurs du genre (toper The Final Beatdown, discographie du groupe, une piece maitresse du hardcore)
Shattered Realm: les rois du beatdown actuel, ont la particularité d'avoir eu au début un chanteur dont la voix etait tres typé death et ont piqué un tas de riffs à Slayer qui rend leur musique tres tres metal
CDC: un excellent groupe ricain de beatdown, un coté ultra accrocheur voir fun sur certains morceaux (toper la démo 2003 et l'album The Split)
Embraced By Hatred: les allemands ont sorti l'année derniere LE disque de beatdown de l'année (Real Recognises Real), une tuerie sans nom
King Of Clubz: les ricains ont composés des morceaux enormes, grosse grosse prestance en live
Black My Heart: un de mes groupes préférés, l'album Before The Devil est une grosse tuerie
Irate: groupe new-yorkais assez special, ils ont une enorme composante metal dans les riffs et utilisent pas mal de melodies et d'arpeges à la guitare, au début c'est assez deroutant mais au final ca cartonne sa race
xProvidencex: mes chouchous parisiens, beatdown ultra cliché et prévisible mais tellement bien fait, toujours la grosse tuerie en live
quelques exemples de paroles:
Bulldoze - The Truth
CITATION
I dont care about your feelings,
i dont care i made you cry,
i dont care i wasnt there for you in the trying times,
who was ever there for me, who heard my screams,
now i live this goddammed life with these broken dreams.
THE TRUTH HURTS!
dont tell me how to live or to change my ways,
dont tell me to respect the things you do for me,
when all you do is cheat, lie & decieve.
its not what you feel its what you must do.
this misjudgement happens everyday and this shouldn't be true,
if you would open your mind instead of just your mouth and find out what the truth is really all about.

Shattered Realm - This World Is Mine
CITATION
Look in my eyes tell me what you see.
A broken down man from the misery and defeat.
But I'll die to protect what's mine.
And that's something you're afraid of.
This world is mine, You can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, nowhere left to run.
This world is mine, can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, no way out.
Your first mistake pay with your life.
No second chance the games are over.
I'm taking all that you possess.
Elitist in the truest form you can't beat me.
This world is mine, you can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, nowhere left to run.
This world is mine, can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, no way out.
This world is mine crippled ship in the path of the storm.
Breath of sin in the path of the righteous.
Your acts won't go unpunished because this world is mine.
Bring the world back down.
A broken down man from the misery and defeat.
But I'll die to protect what's mine.
And that's something you're afraid of.
This world is mine, You can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, nowhere left to run.
This world is mine, can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, no way out.
Your first mistake pay with your life.
No second chance the games are over.
I'm taking all that you possess.
Elitist in the truest form you can't beat me.
This world is mine, you can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, nowhere left to run.
This world is mine, can't trust anyone.
This world is mine, no way out.
This world is mine crippled ship in the path of the storm.
Breath of sin in the path of the righteous.
Your acts won't go unpunished because this world is mine.
Bring the world back down.
Black My Heart - Thick As Blood
CITATION
Family means more to us we give it all to protect the ones we love
Loyalty means more to us we give our lives to protect
The ones we love as we right thick as blood
We did what we had to when we were starving we paid our dues
But we're still starving don't hesitate to count on me
You know I'm down for anything cuz we protect the ones we love.
I will stand beside you we'll always defend you in any situation
Your put in I will stand beside you we'll always defend you no matter what I wont give up
I have seen other people come and go all the same
Say that they are down for anything at anytime
But when the threat is in their face their ture colors always seem to show
These are my friends I have there their backs they are the
Closest thing to blood that I have
