Since I Lost Issues: RIP Topic One Of Metalcore’s Most Ambitious Bands

Georgia-based metalcore band Issues released their debut EP in 2012, Black Diamonds, but their self-titled album came out in 2014. Issues, which is also the band that came out of the split from metalcore band Woe Is Me after vocalists Tyler Carter and Michael Bohn left after their debut album in 2010, I believe, is a band that I struggled to get into for a long time. I felt as though that while their sound was ambitious, they leaned too far into the metalcore tropes of the time, and not enough into the pop and R&B sounds that Carter was really into. That all changed with 2016’s Headspace, where the band went into forays of pop, R&B, funk, nu-metal, and alt-metal, along with metalcore. That record still toyed with the tropes of metalcore, but it was 2019’s Beautiful Oblivion that did it for me. That record took every sound and influence and melded it altogether into a single cohesive record, and they really were on the cusp of becoming the future of the genre.

That was before the band kicked out vocalist Tyler Carter for some heinous accusations, and before I go any further, I don’t want to make this piece sound like I’m upset they broke up, or that I don’t understand why, considering what I just said, and the pandemic coming right afterwards put a halt into a lot of bands’ plans, as they had to retool everything from recording new music to touring. I did want to write this, though, because they put out one more song, at least before they put on a few farewell shows this year to celebrate and commemorate their time as a band.

Issues is a band that took time for me to get heavily into, but when it clicked, it really clicked for me. I love metalcore, although my relationship with the genre has been complicated over the years, and I also really love pop and R&B music, so it’s cool that Issues broke those walls down and combined the two styles, as well as eventually adding funk and alt-metal to the mix. Nowadays, bands are happy to experiment and throw in non-metal influences to their sound, albeit some better than others, but the boundaries are blurred within the genre now. Issues are a reason for that, I think, but you have other bands that paved the way for that, too, such as Bring Me The Horizon shedding most of their metalcore influences to have a pop meets alt-metal meets metalcore sound.

I just listened to Beautiful Oblivion while working on this piece, because I wanted to see if the album’s held up over the last four and a half years since it came out, even with the stain of Tyler Carter and I have to say that it honestly does. I don’t feel as bad for listening to them now, because of two things — they’re breaking up, so the band is disappearing for good, and part of what makes that record (as well as the whole band) work so well isn’t just Carter. Instrumentally, these guys are too notch. It takes a good rhythm section and backing musicians to make a record truly great, not just the vocalist, and while Carter is still a top tier vocalist within the genre (unfortunately), he isn’t the most important part of the band, especially for a band as unique and ambitious as they were. Beautiful Oblivion, and their new song that they just dropped to coincide with their farewell shows, entitled “Since I Lost You,” is a reminder that begs the question “what if?” If Carter never got kicked out, and/or the pandemic didn’t happen, this band probably could have been a lot bigger than they ultimately ended up being. What will their legacy end up being now, though?

Time will tell, as with all things, but I think it’ll be a good one. Carter being fired is a stain in that legacy, but not to the chagrin of the others, and the fact they broke up afterwards is good, as they didn’t try with another vocalist that most likely would have paled in comparison, and as far as breakup records go, Beautiful Oblivion is a great one. It’s a genre-bending masterclass on how to make metalcore with many different influences, and how you can love metal and other genres at the same time, ultimately not putting yourself into a box, whether that’s in terms of being a musician or being a fan. If I wasn’t already into pop and R&B music when this band hit the scene, at least to a small degree, I would have probably wanted to sink my teeth into those genres more, thanks to this band, and I wonder how many other people were influenced by them to do that. Their legacy may be a little complicated at the moment, because of everything that happened about four years ago, but these guys had a good run. RIP to Issues. You’ll be missed.

With Issues’ breakup, there are other bands that carrying the torch for them. Their brand of “R&Bcore” influenced a lot of other bands, even if it’s indirectly, as a lot of metalcore bands are moving into a pop-friendly sound. Bad Omens, Beartooth, Sleep Token, Wage War, Of Mice & Men, Bring Me The Horizon (they’re another band that’s been slowly making more pop-friendly stuff, too), and many others are giving metalcore a new sound. A lot of newer bands are continuing this sound, too, such as Sleep Theory, Archetypes Collide, and Wind Walkers, and while they’re relatively safe and generic, they’re still catchy and fun, just what the genre asks for. Issues will never been forgotten; their place in metalcore and heavier music is secure. The vocalist of the band The Home Team, a pop-punk band that mixes alt-metal and R&B into their sound, is filling in for the band as their vocalist on their farewell shows, and it’s a good fit because Brian Butcher has one of the best voices in the genre and is finally starting to blow up a bit. Issues will always be a band that people remember, and their time was good, but instead of remembering what happened to them and why they broke up, let’s remember what made them so memorable in the first place, because unlike a lot of metalcore bands, Issues was great for every member, not just their vocalist.

The thing is I am so fucking mad at myself when even the slightest thing goes wrong. I have no tolerance when it’s about me making a mistake. I always make myself worse than I am and I hate myself for every mistake I make. But when someone else is doing something wrong I am the most tolerate person on earth. I excuse every mistake other people make. I try to understand them and I say shit like „It‘s not their fault. They didn’t knew it better. They are sorry so wtf. Don’t let your mistakes ruin your future….“ and I think that’s funny because I would never say that to myself.
