I want to know of more bands that sound like Converge, Mastodon, and Burnt By The Sun. I really like these bands but I don't know much about hardcore besides that.

I absolutely despise this style of music.



^useless post^

that's okay, i knew a few people would respond with negativity toward a post that had anything to do with hardcore.
 
Hopefully this thread won't descend into the pointless and aimless debate of metal vs. hardcore, but chances are good that it will.

Anyhoo:

Neurosis
Breach
Isis
7 Angels 7 Plagues
Bloodlet
Botch
Stand-Up Guy
(early) Cave In
Cult of Luna
Coalesce
Deadguy
Kiss It Goodbye
Drowningman
Lethargy (w/ current Mastodon members)
Old Man Gloom
Today is the Day
 
Between the Buried and Me. Those guys are fuckin awesome. It's got everything from grinding death metal to good hardcore breakdowns to even a few slow....dare I say...emo moments. Check out their cd The Silent Circus, it's one of my favs.
 
Martyr AD, Thrice, From Autmn to Ashes, Between the Buried and Me, and Waterdown all come to mind.
 
Atreyu are pretty good, but their new album is weird. I want to like it, but so much of it sounds so blatantly like 80's metal instead of Gothenburg.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I wasn't expecting so many responses in such a short amount of time!

I downloaded a copy of We Are The Romans by Botch (I've seen that recommended a lot) and I am very impressed.

I have heard Atreyu and I found it atrocious.

I agree with what Cryptkeeper said about them. And not that it has anything to do with their music, but I really hate their Hot Topic image.

Yes, Atreyu blows. Bland metalcore with whiney, "my girlfriend broke up with me :cry:" lyrics. :puke:
Saw 'em at Ozzfest and when they opened for Lamb Of God, and I can say without any doubts that Atreyu are all homosexuals.

"Let me see those spirit(?) fingers!"

I just about died laughing after I heard that, and what was even funnier was when people towards the front put their hands in the air and started wiggling their fingers!!!
