Track Of The Day - The Revolution Edition
One of the most quintessential songs in early sludgy math/metalcore:
A killer neoclassical metalcore standout to start Hope for the Dying's first offering:
This glorious 15-minute 3-track suite works better with every part stitched together as a whole, and I've literally just done that as my own video:
One of the most epic and innovative metal tracks I've heard in my life, in The Revolution or any other clan:
You can't go wrong with brutality in deathcore and djent, they know how to bust sh*t hard:
With the opening highlight of Humanity's Last Breath's sophomore album, the brutality hasn't withered away since their 2013 debut:
From djenty deathcore breakdowns and monstrous vocals to guitar tremolos blast beats, the violent quest for heaviness rolls on:

One of only two tracks I like in this release, this one has a brutal breakdown similar to early Job for a Cowboy:
An absolutely phenomenal melodic deathcore highlight! WILL YOU PURSUE?!
Another true anthem of melodic deathcore:
Despite heading back to the melodic progressive/power metal zone, I enjoy a few of the more modern metalcore bands, like this formerly Christian metalcore band from Phoenix, Arizona:
And this Finnish band that started off as modernized old-school thrash metal but ending up going the alt-metal/metalcore route starting with their 2020 album:
A well-done combination of metalcore and symphonic black metal before early Abigail Williams made it cool:
An epic of triumph and emotion, perhaps Lorna Shore's greatest achievement! More info in my review once their new album gets added to the site:
One of the only tracks in Demon Hunter's new album to qualify for The Revolution, this opening highlight may be the closest to the band's earlier melodic metalcore roots:
Besides getting interested in more of the earlier metalcore bands like Poison the Well and Snapcase, I also enjoy a couple later metalcore/deathcore bands that have some symphonic/blackened tendencies similar to the new wave of epic deathcore but not as much:
The absolute pinnacle of this album, and that's my true opinion:
The new Trivium EP's 7-minute epic that is the perfect emotional storm:
