Track Of The Day - The Revolution Edition

Kick-A dissonant grind-ish mathcore:

Absolutely dexterous mathcore violence:

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

Unearth is back with a vengeance in this album that you can consider both the end of an era and the beginning of a new one:

A fantastic standout of synth-infused djenty metalcore variety from Veil of Maya's killer comeback album:

This 13-minute 3-part suite is epic, though not as glorious as Lorna Shore's Pain Remains suite:

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

The killer second single by Enda Vinera, still having that epic Lorna Shore vibe while more originally written:

RIP Polaris guitarist Ryan Siew. A young fellow responsible for the band's melodic hooks in his guitar leads, gone too soon. And just over two months away from the release of their next album Fatalism...

Whitechapel's 3-guitar motive works well a breakdown and soloing harmonies form a unique combo:

A 7-minute deathcore epic to make up for small mistakes and remind you why this album is amazing:

A more diverse deathcore standout, featuring Deftones frontman Chino Moreno:

As much as I love A New Era of Corruption, I also enjoy Whitechapel's 2012 self-titled album, with mature highlights like its opening track:

Although "Firestorm" is forever hailed as Earth Crisis' true classic anthem, this standout from the less impactful prior EP comes close to surpassing it:

What happens when the symphonic blackened deathcore of Lorna Shore and early Make Them Suffer gets kicked up a notch, cranking up the Cradle of Filth/Dimmu Borgir-like symphonic black metal part of the sound for a late-2000s Abigail Williams-style blend? You get this album, including this epic progressive closing track:

Moving further in my journey of symphonic black/death/metalcore, I had already crossed through early Make Them Suffer, then Lorna Shore, then Mental Cruelty's latest album, all leading up to this legendary EP by Abigail Williams. Songs like this kick off that unique underrated combo in an epic start:

Some more metalcore bands I now enjoy thanks to some amazing discoveries, including the deathgrind/core of Animosity:

The double female-fronted groove-ish metalcore of Butcher Babies:

And the melodic metalcore of these two bands:

A flawless headbanging djent-ish metalcore mix of ambient and brutal that fans of Architects, Within the Ruins, and Invent Animate should get into:

I'm telling you, catchiness and brutality make a strong duo when it comes to djenty metalcore:

A modern heavy highlight that any Northlane newcomers should start with:

Djenty metalcore with haunting ambience and Marcus Bridge's unstoppable vocal force:

Another metalcore guitarist has fallen, Brad Thomson, formerly of mathcore band The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. He was known "as one helluva guitar player", and fans of the band have been grateful to hear his mighty guitar skills in the first two TDTE albums. RIP

A once-thought-impossible blend of the speedy power metal of DragonForce and the epic melodic deathcore of Shadow of Intent in such a combination as cinematic as Dethklok's Doomstar Requiem:

Holy sh*t! New ERRA single?! You bet I'm up for some more awesome progressive metalcore action:
