Dark, heavy, and catchy metalcore

[Belligerent]

Raunchy - Death Pop Romance
Devildriver - The Last Kind Words (some hints of melodeath in there too)
Unearth - The Oncoming Storm

I was going to mention these.
I'll add Unearth III
All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals
Faust Again - Hope Against Hope

 

[The Ozzman]

ATR might not be what Mathias is looking for because Labonte sounds a bit whiny with this clean vox.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's fucking ace! Love it

Wow. Killer. Have fun!

Also try:

The Sorrow (Austrian one)
Maroon
Heaven Shall Burn
Parkway Drive

Nope.

i thought they were terrible.

They're pretty good for deathcore, and one of the more serious bands playing it.

 

[waif]

Yeah, I listened to them just now in preparation for the Summer Slaughter tour and thought they were excellent. All the best elements of deathcore blended with pure death metal.

 

[AchrisK]

Funny you should ask this. I was just listening to:

Blindside - A Though Crushed My Mind

Swedish band. I guess they mostly fall under metalcore/hardcore, but they are much more musical. Great songs. They have harsh and cleam vocals, but the clean are not emo at all. I can't recommend any of their other albums. As for heaviness, they are not even close to deathcore. May not be exactly what you were asking for, but this album is genius IMO.

 

[S<issors]

I assume everyone is pretty much familiar with Despised Icon at this point. But, in case you're not, Despised Icon. Go for The Healing Process.

and in that vein, Heaven Shall Burn, although they are more melo-death-y nowadays

edit: and now I see that both of these have already been suggested, so consider this a second-ing of both

 

[Satanstoenail]

~gR~

Don't you hate metalcore generally anyway? Kinda stands to reason you'd think they were terrible.

[genocide roach]

not all metalcore. but whitechapel just dont sound good to me
~gR~

 

[Manic Ferocity]

7 Angels 7 Plagues - Jhazmyne's Lullaby

This pre-dates most metalcore and is pretty fucking original at that.

 

[Satanstoenail]

not all metalcore. but whitechapel just dont sound good to me
~gR~

Ok great. I'm off to find a power metal rec thread so I can tell someone not to listen to Lost Horizon.

:zombie:

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Norma Jean - Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child

Great, GREAT fucking album!

 

[Base Delta Zero]

Ion Dissonance - Minus the Herd (or Despised Icon: Part II)

[Edit - Fuck! I forgot you wanted digital production. None of the bands below have digital production but are instead raw as hell! They're all good though.]

The Huguenots - Discography (Very much like Botch and Converge.)
Fight Amp - Hungry for Nothing (Fight Amp is kind of a melting pot, really.)
Perth Express - Discography
Heaven Shall Burn - Asunder (I like their early stuff, personally.)

Also, while not exactly metalcore, I feel I should recommend Coliseum (US) and Cursed (Can.). They're both good punk bands that metalheads can dig.

 

[Base Delta Zero]

A few other good ones are Burning Skies, Starkweather and Car Bomb. Car Bomb's incredibly spastic and talented - everyone should check them out.
