Track Of The Day - The Revolution Edition
A fantastic intersection between several of the hardcore/metalcore genres from earlier and later bands; the hardcore of Strife, the metalcore/melodic metalcore of August Burns Red and Parkway Drive, and the deathcore of Chelsea Grin:

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

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