Best Hardcore Albums of the 2000s
The best hardcore LPs that dropped between 2000 and 2009, in alphabetical order, in my opinion. Tried to keep it to one record per band, so be gentle. Leave what you think I left out in the comments. |
| 1 |  | American Nightmare
Background Music
Classic. |
| 2 |  | Bane
Give Blood
Classic. |
| 3 |  | Bitter End (USA-TX)
Climate Of Fear
Banger. |
| 4 |  | Blacklisted
Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God
FORGOT THIS AND WANTED TO DIE. A classic restored. |
| 5 |  | Bracewar
Juggernaut
Criminally underrated band. Such a hard record. |
| 6 |  | Carry On
A Life Less Plagued
Classic. Todd Jones is untouchable. (Shouts to Ryan currently killing it with Youth Code.) |
| 7 |  | Ceremony (USA-CA)
Violence Violence
The birth of a California institution. (If we're counting 2010, Rohnert Park is in here also.) |
| 8 |  | Coke Bust
Lines In The Sand
DC greats. All-timer. |
| 9 |  | Cold World
Dedicated To Babies Who Came Feet First
Shouts to the No Omega comp, but this is LP territory. |
| 10 |  | Converge
Jane Doe
GOAT. (YFM GOAT 2.0) |
| 11 |  | Death Threat (USA)
Peace & Security
HARD. The degree to which this band is underrated is wild to me. |
| 12 |  | Down To Nothing
The Most
Classic. RVA legends. |
| 13 |  | Guns Up!
Outlive
Entombed core. |
| 14 |  | Have Heart
The Things We Carry
Classic. |
| 15 |  | The Hope Conspiracy
Cold Blue
Heavy. |
| 16 |  | In My Eyes
Nothing To Hide
Have Heart doesn't exist without this band. Seminal Rev release. |
| 17 |  | Iron Age
The Sleeping Eye
Greatest band of all time. Constant Struggle is also a banger. |
| 18 |  | Modern Life Is War
Witness
Hits. If the Boss played hardcore. |
| 19 |  | No Warning
Ill Blood
Street metal lives. |
| 20 |  | Righteous Jams
Rage of Discipline
Oh yeaaaah. |
| 21 |  | The Rival Mob
Raw Life
Hardcore For Hardcore (2010) was better, but Raw Life still hits and also falls within this timeframe. Can't go wrong with THE MOB. |
| 22 |  | Terror
Lowest Of The Low
Todd Jones remains untouchable. (A year short, but if 2010 is included, Nails' Unsilent Death is 100% on this list.) (2010 was dope.) |
| 23 |  | Trapped Under Ice
Secrets of the World
TUI. |
| 24 |  | Trash Talk
Trash Talk
Still hot. |
| 25 | | Violation
Devoured
Too underrated. 1917 Records was on one in the ‘00s. (FFO: Bitter End, War Hungry, Iron Age) |
