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:

The perfect anthem to start this early metalcore/hardcore gem:

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:

Some killer heaviness in this big banger:

I love the guitar leads and vocals have a similar vibe to Trivium but more futuristic:

Yeah, I enjoy this band's earlier metalcore material as much as, and possibly better than, their later rap-fueled material, so the haters out there can sit down.

Epic folk/metalcore that can work as the soundtrack enemy-slashing battles, hammering parties, and simply headbanging to the loud heaviness:

Some of the most brutal metalcore I've heard in a while:

A 6-minute epic with their standard sound filled with different colors:
