Emmure = Plagiarism

There are infinite reasons why Emmure is a shitty band, but first and foremost it is because they blatantly rip off other peoples songs.

Well, on their new shitty record which I don't suggest you buy, they now have a song (cleverly titled R2DEEPTHROAT (yeah), about how the Acacia Strain needs to be quiet about how Emmure steals their songs and it eludes that the lead singer of Emmure has indeed been fellated by the lead singer of The Acacia Strain's girlfriend. Somebody pop this motherfucker.

This is pretty obvious I mean here are a few examples of how the songs are THE SAME.

Sound kinda almost exactly the fucking same?

Anyway, the lead singer of TAS done wrote a song about it called Skynet, with the lyrics posted here (which are death metal lyrics that I actually don't love), and then, as a (phenomenally) poorly written response, the lead singer of Emmure takes it super personal, and continues to steal other peoples lyrics in this song on purpose to be ironical/douchical (but not the same as douchesicle) and fails at being sort of funny like Skynet and is more on the lines of kind of lame and stupid by accident (lyrics here).

I've been on the Emmure hate train since I bought 3750 and The Dead Walk by TAS last year, I liked Emmure when I thought they were coming up with this kind of sound and these cool riffs/breakdownage (although most of the breakdowns are more like song pauses) but all of that is so closely emulated its like they just take parts out of TAS songs and play them slightly faster and that's the only difference. Lots of people in the whole metal community have an opinion on this little feud but there is certifiable fact that they indeed did take heavily from The Acacia Strain and they don't feel a bit bad about that, and that, my friends, is wrong, whether or not you think some of their songs are catchy or not (statistically not).

And if you don't believe me, and you love reading entire pages of bullshit (which if you're here you clearly do) go HERE for the GREATEST ARTICLE ABOUT METALCORE I'VE EVER READ.
