S2, Episode Seventeen: The Transient Effects Of Light On Water by This Day Forward

Didn't Go Platinum enters the world of 'proper' metalcore. Tim is joined by journalist and hardcore aficionado Ellis Heasley to discuss The Transient Effects Of Light On Water, by This Day Forward. One of the unsung heroes of the late nineties/early 2000's metalcore scene, This Day Forward were contemporaries of bands like Poison The Well, but remain little known even in hardcore circles. We visit their excellent second album and discuss why it may have got lost in the mix. We also look at the differences between skinny guy metalcore and beefy guy metalcore, and Ellis asks if violins belong in heavy music.
