Metalcore that Melts your Mind

[UltimateApathy]

The topic name basically explains it, what are some of the metalcore bands out there that rock your socks off? Here are some of mine:

Killswitch Engage


As I Lay Dying


Crossfaith


Underoath


The Agonist

Only metalcore I like is Between the Buried and Me. Feel free to use that against me when I don't like something you post.

The YouTube embedding on this forum is the worst fucking thing about it. Thankfully task manager -> processes -> kill flashplayer fixes things at least temporarily.

Lethargy and Candiria are pretty schweet.

Seriously Sgt. G, was necessary? You frightened my poor daughter. Now I have to explain to her that there are people fatter than me in the world.
I like a lot of metalcore, actually. Besides, take out the dual guitar harmonies, clean/shouted vocals, add pig squeals, and there you have it: slam death. Everybody here loves slam.

If the album, "Waking the Fallen" by A7X is considered metalcore, then it melted my face off. I bought it when I was 16 and I still listen to it. I'm with OP on Killswitch. "End of the Heartache" was an incredible album.

I never really cared for As I Lay Dying, All that Remains, or much other metalcore I've listened to.

I really like the "essence", if you will, of metalcore. Melodic and harmonized pedal riffs, rhythmic double bass synchopation, cheesy lyrics about DEEP EMOTIONS!!! and shreddy harmonic minor guitar solos.

Sometimes I like my music predictable and simple.

You're right. Only one video is necessary.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

It's not the number of videos as much as the fucking autoplay.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

It's easier to stop just one video.

 

[Mort Divine]

Thankfully adblocking that specific video worked wonders

Thankfully that entire post has been deleted now. I know Avenged Sevenfold initially were metalcore, but then sold out and became pop rock. For example, old Avenged Sevenfold:
New (shitty) Avenged Sevenfold:

City of Evil was the only remotely decent thing that band ever did fwiw

What browser do you use? Videos NEVER autoplay on this forum for me.

Unrelated to the quote, but I wanted to note that All that Remains "This Darkened Heart" is an AMAZING album.

I think of Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying as good "traditional" metalcore bands, although I also like it when bands mix things up and add in non-traditional elements too. A good example of this is Crossfaith, a Japanese metalcore band that adds in lots of electronic effects that really give these music a unique kinda feel, I saw them live last years year and it was an awesome gig, great energy. You can see me right near the front in the first 30 seconds of this video, I'm the guy with blond hair.
And here's what the album version of that song sounds like:

Can anyone recommend some other metalcore bands that add in other "non-traditional" effects?

 

[JontRevolting]

Why people bother with this sub/sub/genre is beyond me.

 

[UltimateApathy]

I'm sure plenty/plenty/plenty of things are beyond you...

 

[JontRevolting]

You idiot.

 

[UltimateApathy]

You idiot.

Take a look in the "Mirror"
