Track Of The Day - The Revolution Edition

A thunderous deathcore epic, the way the genre is meant to be done:

Amazing how a band that only made a few songs in their two-year existence can make a big impact in the deathcore scene, isn't it?

I guess it depends on your definition of "a big impact" Andi. Deadwater Drowning are hardly a household name, are they?

To paraphrase part of my review, the EP was known as a blueprint for the modern deathcore, and after this band's split, the members would continue in more famous deathcore bands. Indeed not really a household name, yet their sound would be popularized by the avenging league.

The only track from that Admiral Angry album Buster to come close to qualifying for The Revolution in the riffing and drumming, while still primarily sludgy:

Merry metal Christmas! This is one of my favorite songs from August Burns Red's Christmas EP Winter Wilderness, and a great selection for the December Revolution playlist:

An absolute highlight of brutal technical death metal/core hellfire, something fans of The Red Chord, Gorguts, and Cryptopsy should try before they judge:

Amazing inspiring lyrics from one of the earliest Christian metal/hardcore bands besides Zao:

I also decide to take a small sneak peek at Strongarm's other album Atonement, and this song has some metalcore potential as well. I might give the rest of the album a listen if it becomes metal enough to quality for this site.

Heavy raging metalcore that pretty much all fans of the genre can enjoy:

One of only a couple highlights from metal's entry into the hardcore subgenre Krishnacore:

American trance-metalcore with a bit of Crossfaith worship:

For the best of Motionless in White's earlier horror-themed metalcore, check out the dark vicious "Snow" trilogy:

Brutal horror-themed metalcore, continuing the "Puppets" story from the band's debut:

The dark haunting finale of the killer "Puppets" trilogy:

A heavy metalcore sequel to one of the songs from the Creatures "Snow" trilogy. Maybe in a future album, they should make a sequel to the 3rd part "Scissorhands".

A diverse experimental highlight from this Georgia-based metalcore band:

The only song I really like from Stigmata's mostly poor debut, a solid blend of early hardcore/metalcore and the speed/thrash metal of early Metallica, while reminding me of Paradise Lost's Shades of God in the earlier verses:

A 7-minute epic that starts off as melodic as Unearth and Trivium before this band's usual early black/death-infused metalcore:

One of the more popular metalcore bands that somehow I keep overlooking started their career with an incredible album of underrated gems like this one:

A fantastic intersection between several of the hardcore/metal genres from earlier and later bands; the hardcore of Strife, the metalcore/melodic metalcore of August Burns Red and Parkway Drive, the deathcore of Chelsea Grin, and the melodeath of Avatar:

Empowering hardcore/metalcore from one of the leading (yet short-lived) bands in the Christian hardcore scene:

Some metalcore bands I now enjoy thanks to what I discovered when assembling the Revolution playlists:

August Burns Red's new album Death Below is a perfect return to the band's earlier form, evident in songs like this 8-minute epic featuring one of the Underoath vocalists:

Math/deathgrind/hardcore fury, the way that I prefer:
