Everything by Killswitch seems to have that upbeat "things are getting better" feel to them, to my ears.

But the panic/chaos chord in the ATB song kinda takes all "happiness" from it, :lol:

those dissonant chords yeah, but the rest of it is pretty upbeat, including those nice solos in there. haha. Killswitch has a kind of sad/minor quality to their songs i find though.

I guess I'm not sure exactly what type of happy, but...









Not necessarily upbeat-happy, but triumphant-happy, if there's a difference? :scratch:
Ton of stuff in the folk metal area tends to be upbeat.

This sonh has some pretty upbeat choruses and solos, though the rest of the song is pretty heavy.

from 2:44 on it's upbeat sounding and also the chorus

Surprisingly upbeat chorus begins at about 1.13

Surprisingly upbeat solo runs from about 2.32 to 3.23

Wow ! ithis band sounds fucking awesome, but the vocals, production, and breakdowns kinda ruin it for me. it seems kinda metalcoreish in some ways. but other than that, man they kick some ass.

you've never heard of after the burial? good thing you came to this thread haha. they rereleased the album these songs are off of with much better recording quality and a different vocalist (who i like better). but yeah, they're essentially progressive hardcore/metalcore

that is from the 2008 rareforms. they re-released the cd in 2009 with a new singer and better drums.

Bonus points for awesome female singer and awesome hyperactive drummer. And OH MY GOD, I have three 'feel good' songs, one is this one, and the other are Ometh and Riders of the Plague, so this thread made my night :D
