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:
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
Holy sh*t! New ERRA single?! You bet I'm up for some more awesome progressive metalcore action:
A true classic metalcore highlight. Although the song is based on a horrific tour bus crash caused by a drunk driver that killed two members of an earlier band Compromise, the song title reminded me of my Summer break being cut short by my busy schedule:
Another highlight, from ambient metalcore band Invent Animate:
An iconic highlight of Welsh melodic metalcore:
Killer melodic deathcore from Los Angeles, if you're up for a band similar to All Shall Perish and the 2000s eras of The Acacia Strain and Bring Me the Horizon:
