Bullshit...

LOL i hate finntroll but he's a douchebag. Thats the funniest thing i've heard all day. There are just too many errors in that statement

Actually, I like Finntroll's Visor Om Slutet album... The rest is booooring.

He would be clearly lacking in the nutsack area already...kicking him where he should have a nutsack would only let him be a poser and act as though he had a nutsack.

finntroll are fucking awesome. fuck metalcore.

The above pic might be the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time.

As for Finntroll - not a huge fan or listener but the fact that someone called them Celtic Metalcore means that somewhere in the world a decent Metalhead was striken down in mid stride by the sheer pose-erity of that statment. And I mourn them.

Yeah, cool pic XD

Everytime a poser is born a metalhead sheds a tear. And becomes a poser because real metalheads don't cry.

i think its actually funny that he called them "celtic metalcore", i had to say something to him but...ina sense i agree, though i wouldnt call it metalcore at all, and the censensus seems to use the word "humpaa"...but the accessa(i?)bility of the video (though silly and has guys with bones in their hair dancing about) could be debated as "more commercial" in stance than metalcore because of the vocals...etc.

just one way to look at it i spose...finntroll of course isnt trendy as fuck to the point that metalcore is right now fuckin about on "headbangers ball" and the like...and i think this guy had only heard that one song (i forget the title)...and these WFMU sorts dont seem like all around metal fanatics or anything...so ill give him that

Trollhammaren is the song title you're looking for.
ANd no. There's nothing metalcore about Finntroll. It's black metal, with humppa mixed in, humppa being a type of Finnish polka.
Metalcore is shitty metal with breakdowns.

haha yes, not metalcore in style...but perhaps "metalcore in accessibility" for that video

I dunno. I thought it was a cool video. It fits with the style of the music. It's fun and drunk.

haha yeah i liked it as well...had it on my myspace page awhile back

scar symmetry could be another example....people seem to consider that melodic death metal and yet the pop-esque structures with the chorus' and the like could possibly be seen as "metalcore in accessibility"

I've never listened to it..
