The Best Hardcore / Metalcore / Deathcore
|
Daybreaker is a genuinely poignant album with considerable depth. Architects seek to create inventive metalcore/hardcore structures instead of playing it safe. With this ability to take cues from different genres, the band manages to build good ambiences and eloquent moments with a good dose of complex and technical guitar work which keeps our senses alert and looking for new territories that present themselves everywhere you look.

Right after the awesome Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones, Cancer Bats are back with another fantastic album. Dead Set On Living is a dirty, pissed off, punch-in-the-face hardcore punk assault, seasoned with generous sprinkles of southern-fried stoner riffs. This album will leave your neck, your knuckles, your whole body, sore from moshing and headbanging too much, no doubts about it!

In All We Love We Leave Behind, Converge has continued to perfect their wonderfully unique brand of chaotic hardcore. Always being to the point, they are now even more digestible, but while also having all the subtleties and rage in the music which you can spend many spins getting your jaws broken time and time again. Fear you'll leave it behind because you'll love it? Hell no! As addiction and cravings transcends love, right?

A punch that cuts right to the basic instincts. That's Cycles Of Light for you. It's a pounding and raw affair but these guys gave a little twist to their frantic hardcore and that is the evil scent around their sound together with an atmospheric edge that sometimes wouldn't be so out of place in a black metal album.

Make Them Suffer is an innovative band that fuses extreme deathcore with symphonic elements and does it really well. Expect to be moved by the epic structures of Neverbloom as the grand scale of the album is far beyond what is the norm for this genre or for any other genre for that matter. One can only hope this band will eventually perform with a full symphonic orchestra but before this happens, Neverbloom is the ideal appetizer.

Martyrdod is a band that specializes in some of the most vicious and violent blackened crustcore known to man and their latest album Paranoia will certainly not disappoint any fans looking to be violated. Chaotic and desperate, this album sure does illustrate the paranoia we all occasionally have to cope with very aptly and all fans of intelligent, yet ultra-violent crust should check it out.

A direct, knuckle-dragging, dare I say primitive collection of crushing, powerful bursts of hard core sonic energy. No mercy for your neighbors or your ear drums, this hits you like a bunch of hellbound wasted youth drinking and driving. Now check out this album and Get. The. Fuck. Off. My. Lawn.

In your face riffs and groove, and melodies that will only fascinate your more and more over time. That's all you need to know. Maybe that, and the fact that this non-stop madness is brought to you by an excellent production that leaves no doubt in your mind as to which fist will hit your face and precisely where it will impact. But seriously: riffs, dude... riffs.

The band summed it up with a lyrical passage in one of the songs: "We've been somatically defiled, exiled, and now this new era has come to an end.". In short, this is not the Whitechapel from a couple years ago. Their self-titled album proves that the guys not only can play your downright nasty deathcore, but are also capable to add groovier, melodic passages into their sound without alienating their core fan base. Don't worry though; there are still plenty of break-downs to go around to make this a must-have album for any fan of the genre.

If you're looking for a no frills D-beatdown, Wolfbrigade should definitely be at the top of your playlist. Damned further solidifies that. Within all this thing's grimy, crusty uncleanliness, enough addicting riffs ooze out to keep even the biggest Clorox fan and clean nut trudging through the Damned muck for more.
