![]() Adept play a sort of revivalist metalcore of the screamed verse/clean chorus variety, not unlike Feed Her to the Sharksor about a bajillion other bands from the mid-2000s. It was probably this nostalgia that first led me to check out Swedish quintet Adept back in 2013, with the release of their third LP Silence the World. Part of it’s because this is the music I grew up with – sure, there’s lots of emo choruses and re-purposed Gothenburg riffs, but they’re my emo choruses and re-purposed Gothenburg riffs, the ones that got me through high school breakups and summer jobs cleaning goose poop off the local golf course while dodging errant balls from half-drunk assclowns. And while I agree the genre has its shortcomings, I can’t help but enjoy it nonetheless. Telling a bunch of underground metalheads that you like metalcore is the equivalent of painting a big scarlet letter right between your set of Fred Durst nipple rings. Look, I get it: ‘metalcore’ is a dirty word in the metal community.
