Metalcore

Well i've started liking metalcore and i'd like some reccomendations on some current great metalcore bands. Preferably not too much death metal influence and i prefer singing more than screaming, but screaming in verses and such is good.

 

You'd probably like He Is Legend... not as much screaming on their last album, but still pretty hard. They're obviously influenced by classic rock and alternative metal/rock-type stuff as well.

 

Might be a bit much screaming for you, but Killswitch Engage are amazing.

Check out When Darkness Falls, Rose Of Sharyn, My Last Serenade and The End Of Heartache.

 

Agreed. The End of Heartache is pretty much THE metalcore album for me.

 

Listen to:

Bullet For My Valentine
Trivium

Caliban - I Rape Myself
Caliban - My Time Has Come
Haste the Day - The Minor Prophets

Good songs by those bands too

 

trivium (old)
avenged sevenfold (old)

All That Remains

 

Bullet for my Valentine.

 

Killswitch Engage

 

i know so many people have said KSE but i have to agree, The End of heartache is a GREAT album with screaming songs blended with singing just right. But if you want less screaming more singing check out the new cd As Daylight dies by them. i love every song on it

 

Every Time I Die, if you can consider them metalcore. I personally LOVE their new album "The Big Dirty" and their last album "Gutter Phenomenon". I highly recommend both.

 

Thanks guys haven't got around to many of them yet (esspeically will's list) but thanks for the help.

 

The Big Dirty is amazing. Definitely one of my top albums of the year so far.

 

I Killed the Prom Queen are a pretty decent Australian metalcore band. Maybe give them a go once you've acclimatised to the screaming, as it is fairly full-on.


I'd also agree on Every Time I Die.

 

didn't they break up? i was fairly disappointed when I heard that.

 

Yeah, they did. They weren't too bad actually.

 

I guess I'll have to go back to listening to Parkway Drive for my dose of Australian metalcore then.

 

I consider ETID to be the "Buckcherry" of metalcore.

 

You should check out Shadow's Fall, they are an amazing group IMO.

 

On the subject of southern/classic rock-influenced metalcore Maylene and the Sons Of Disaster are also really good.
