Deathcore has never been my preferred “-core” music, but I’ve never been afraid to try it out because you never know what band is gonna pull next. Eshtadur is one such band for me because they really hovered on the … Continue reading Eshtadur – Oblivion
Crossing over different genres can sometimes be fantastic as blackened death is a good mix along with punk and hardcore. The latter of those two combos are just what Dogsflesh have been doing for over 20 years, so you’d think … Continue reading Dogsflesh – So Fucked Up (single)
I think I can safely say that we’ve all heard of Killswitch Engage at one point in time, correct? And I know that others don’t like them, and metalcore even less. But I’ve never been really in love or against … Continue reading Killswitch Engage – Strength of the Mind (single)
If you ask me I think that Trivium have been putting out “okay” albums since their amazing piece that was “Shogun” with their last album being not even worth mentioning in my book. So when I saw that they released … Continue reading Trivium – Silence In the Snow
It’s always cool to see that some band somewhere is trying to do their best at creating something that others have done before, but in their own unique way and for Grip that’s creating a post-hardcore sound that is interesting … Continue reading Grip – Wolves/Fawn
I remember hearing Devil You Know’s debut , “The Beauty of Destruction”, and thinking “this is the shit!” and ended up being one of my favorite albums of last year. Then I heard the single “Stay of Execution” and thought … Continue reading Devil You Know – They Bleed Red
I’ve never had the opportunity to really listen to anything that would be considered “progressive hardcore”, but before today I would’ve guessed that it would have a more melodic sound while still having a good pace of aggression and anger … Continue reading Chronotope – Kudos (single)
Born of Osiris has always been one of those bands to me that some of my friends love to death and whenever I’m in the car with them or just hanging out I will hear a little of Born of … Continue reading Born of Osiris – Soul Sphere
I remember hearing We Rise the Tides for the first time with their last EP, “Death Walk”, being the best deathcore I’ve ever heard by miles and ended being one of my favorite albums of 2014 easily. But it is with actual sadness for me to learn that they have decided to break up and pursue other personal projects (nothing wrong with that at all!), but they have decided to give us fans a farewell present with the single “Legacy”. This song is the most mature and impressive deathcore they’ve done out of doing 2 very nice EP’s, and shows … Continue reading We Rise the Tides – Legacy (single)
The thought of mixing metalcore and progressive metal together is interesting to me because I like both of those genres, and the possibilities are endless when combining the two. Well after hearing Between the Buried and Me’s new album “Coma Ecliptic” I found one version of progressive metalcore, and that version has a shit ton of piano in it. The run time of the album alone, almost 1 hour and 10 minutes, was one hint to me that this album was gonna be something else and it was. The guitars vary between being smooth and calm to more a more intense … Continue reading Between the Buried and Me – Coma Ecliptic
