Best move for the band and its current fans. I am an enormous fan of The Tide/birth.eater but I found Clean Head to be incredibly dull and overrated. That said I think their new stuff under a new name and more ambient sound can be a beautiful thing. At this point they clearly don't want to play anything pre-CH yet fans want to hear it thus axing the name and starting new will make everyone happy.
birtheater was 395489050 times better than the tide. idk why people think the tide is so great.
Because it is one of the most memorable metalcore releases of the 2000s. It's not that it's "brutal" for why people like it. The leads are very trimphant feeling and the lyrics/delivery are superb. birth.eater was excellent in its own right but The Tide will always be a fan favorite for good reason.
They still had most of the original members on Birtheater and it was still basically the same genre as the Tide minus the garbled jesus lyrics and the Beloved riffs.
Huge Beloved (US) fan as well as The Tide but I don't see any similarities....
