AHC

This is a really cool band and I don't know anything about them, could someone with a knowledge of their history please build up this article? DMighton 18:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

I know, this is always a POV issue, but I really disagree with their being labeled industrial metal. Their synthesizers aren't very prevalent, as they are with most industrial bands, and I think the ferocity of their music and the themes they use (the heavy, death metal-esque vocals mainly) place this band in the metalcore genre, maybe under moshcore (while I've never been to an AHC concert, I'll bet there's quite a bit of moshing going on).

Never mind, I checked their website and they list themselves as industrial heavy metal. Lizardking42 23:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

metalcore? they have mentioned themselves on their old webpage and in interviews that they are a nu-metal band, with "organic-industrial" influences. I think their original idea was to be a mix between the "organic" nature of traditional Metal and the "synthetic" industrial metal genre.

The album 'the war of art' was filled with nu metal. Portillo 09:30, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They said on their profile on MySpace "Don't even try to label us as Nu-Metal" or something like that.--62.133.135.55 15:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revision

This article's been bugging me for ages, so I put it under Articles Needing Cleanup on WikiProject Metal. A couple months later, I still find vandalism and PoV widespread on the page, so I'm revising it myself. Apparently, there's a message from Mr. Banks III near the bottom of the article. Whether this is well-crafted vandalism or actual information posted by Mr. Banks, I can't tell, but I can tell that it's not supposed to be in the actual article. I've removed it, but I'll paste it here just in case.

"Well, just received the first edit of our DVD...I think you're going to like it, ALOT...I'm impressed at what a great job the editors did...they had thousands of hours of footage to go through...it's coming in at about 75 minutes right now, and has a "Behind the Music" vibe to it...it tracks the entire AHC history up to present date...lots of live footage, videos, weird shit, interviews...you name it, it's probably in there...it's coming packaged with a CD of nine songs...unreleased tracks, live stuff from both albums, and Trepanation songs...the release date as of this moment is March 8th...we'll keep you posted! And yes, the DVD will be released in the U.K. Remind Nitrus Records!

...and we're back in the studio this week working on the new record after taking some time off for the holidays...there is some really, REALLY cool shit in the works...Hell, I'm impressed, and I hate everything...

As well as this, the "Demoes and rare songs" part needs major revision, if not outright deletion. It's biased, it is not backed up with any sources and, most importantly, it is immensely poorly written.

Genre once again

I don't like the idea of calling AHC's music industrial METAL,HEAVY METAL or ALTERNATIVE METAL.You can see on their profile on MySpace that they play ROCK/METAL/INDUSTRIAL.Well,I can hear influence of Marylin Manson and Faith No More on The Feeding very well.Some of their songs are alternative rock for me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.133.137.214 (talk) 14:07, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
