Track Of The Day - The Revolution Edition

The only track I like from this lo-fi mess of an EP is this beautiful highlight combining their brutal sound with dark melodies:

A true early example of melodic deathcore and its dark riffing:

A mighty battle between the 90s metal/hardcore of Vision of Disorder and Burst and the European melodeath that would later reach bands like Neaera and Omnium Gatherum:

A fantastic early melodic metalcore song of rage and passion:

This brilliant start to Undying's last album has the best of many bands past and future, including late 90s Cave In, The Ghost Inside, Killswitch Engage, and Omnium Gatherum:

Some of the best highlights from this compilation of all of Dawn of Orion's recordings, one per release, not including the debut album mentioned above:

Melodic metalcore supergroup formed by the talented Howard Jones, formerly of Killswitch Engage, with some melodic yet heavy moments similar to his time with KSE:

Featuring harmonic soloing by Doc Coyle from God Forbid and Bad Wolves, this is the new Bleeding Through album's ultimate highlight of melody and intensity:

Whitechapel's brutal roots are back, especially in the album's title highlight:

Some more Revolution bands I've been enjoying lately including the modern melodic metalcore of Bleed from Within:

And the symphonic blackened deathcore of Mental Cruelty:

I'm glad to appreciate masterpiece highlights like one of Killswitch Engage's biggest hits:

I love how the solo in this highlight can sound beautiful without fast technicality:

I also love a couple of the special edition bonus tracks in this album including this killer leftover track that should've been in the standard edition:

I still love this awesome melodic metalcore classic that I had discovered over a decade prior, long before I started listening to this band full-time:

And the bonus tracks of this album continue to impress me as well, such as this melodic yet heavy ripper:

This phenomenal highlight has some of Killswitch Engage's strongest guitars, drums, and vocals yet:

But it's this special edition bonus track that's one of my favorite tracks by the band in general. The melodies, riffs, screams, cleans, and drums, all in a brilliant balance:

Awesome music of pure heavy melodic metalcore bliss:

Plus another special edition bonus highlight of beauty and brutality:

A strong progressive mini-journey in another melodic metalcore offering:

And this pummeling special edition bonus highlight with a heavy breakdown to rule them all:

A heavy majestic highlight featuring the vocal fury of Chuck Billy of Testament:

A powerful highlight despite fitting better outside of Atonement due to its sludgy pace:

3 highlights from this special Killswitch Engage livestream show, one per album:

One of the band's most brutally awesome songs to date in their new album:

Perhaps the strongest epic deathcore album ending track:

Brutal hellfire with incredible strength and speed:

The more deathcore part of this title suite with enough technicality to make this like a more brutal Within the Ruins:

Absolutely insane instrumentation in this rifftastic highlight:
