Tundra: Popular Metalcore/Deathcore Bands Ranked 2

botb 02.09.23	Lmao dude why do you do this to yourself
Tundra 02.09.23	why do you do the things you do
kevbogz 02.09.23	whose favorite mxc/dxc cuz both ur lists & their takes are whack lmfao
kevbogz 02.09.23	+ for the mid bands that are decent u don't even use their good albums yikes
Tundra 02.09.23	are you mad about Dillinger most or is it another one
kevbogz 02.09.23	mad that nearly 50% of ur pie is prog
Tundra 02.09.23	am I supposed to be hurt by that
swallowtales 02.09.23	this hurts me
artificialbox 02.09.23	another great list
Tundra 02.09.23	why is an opinion hurting you, get your priorities straight
swallowtales 02.09.23	ill have you know my priorities are straight, and they place opinions on the internet in the highest of regards
Tundra 02.09.23	I think maybe the placement of Human Abstract, Red Chord and The Faceless is most maddening to people, dunno for sure though
Tundra 02.10.23	And then the 2010 - 2013 bands up high is gonna cause outrage too, I think most people getting mad where potentially born in the 80s or early 90s
combustion07 02.10.23	Checked list #1 hoping to see Despised Icon- Ills of Modern Man there. If you do another installment you should definitely check it out. Aside from the really early I guess proto deathcore stuff that album is my favorite in the genre. Love that Rolo album
JohnnyoftheWell 02.10.23	fix ur grammar fix ur ears delete ur account keep tryin
KnickFurey 02.10.23	Johnny on fire lately.
Purpl3Spartan 02.10.23	41 is 1
Tundra 02.10.23	Johnny do you even like metalcore is my question
Tundra 02.10.23	This is not a formal essay, I do not have to have perfect fucking grammar on a post like this piss off
combustion07 02.10.23	Note to self: core genres make everyone aggressive
evilford 02.10.23	Must be the roids
evilford 02.10.23	Also, the only 2 metalcore-ish bands that I can even stand aren't even on here, Burst and SikTh
Tundra 02.10.23	My opinions are just really unpopular, if I'd do this for another genre I'm sure it'd spark the same amount of outrage
evilford 02.10.23	Aint no outrage here bro, just sullen disappointment
Tundra 02.10.23	I like newer bands more than old and most people on this site have probably not listened to the new bands cause they where born in the 80s, or havent given the new bands enough of a fair chance. Whether its disappointment or rage, I knew this list wasnt going to satisfy most people; just being truthful to what I genuinely like and what I genuinely dislike.
KnickFurey 02.10.23	> Must be the roids Lol
Sinternet 02.10.23	"Some people recommended this band in the previous ranking but I just can't with it." missing a word, you just can't what? "I'm sorry it's so ungodly boring." the word ungodly is a poor choice to represent a quantification of the word boring "I can't with this." see above "Once again have nothing much good to say." 'nothing much good' reads very awkwardly "The only song that's worth a second thought is The Devil in me is Reimagined" do you mean the drug in me is reimagined? please proofread for clarity in future "and AngryJoeShow on youtube has it for his outro music for his videos, so pretty cool." this is not in fact 'pretty cool' "so it's not gonna be so good" again, weird choice of quantifier here for the word good at least in terms of sentence structure "dont feel like listening" don't* "standard as standard post-hardcore/metalcore can get." adding 'as' in front of this clause would improve readability "This is just super solid deathcore, nice riffs, and pretty fun" comma after riffs is unnecessary "A band that Finn McKenty likes that I also like, holy shit." who? "if you like thall" i had to google this term and it appears to be a niche and unfunny meme, please try to write in a more professional manner "I dont like old TDWP" don't* "this kinda bores the piss outta me" refrain from using crass language or slang terms "Old The Faceless is so fucking boring" this is about the tenth time you've used the word boring, please try to expand your vocabulary for the sake of those reading
Sinternet 02.10.23	"overall I prefer when they go more melodic on than heavy" either missing words or has one too many, please proofread your writing "I can tolerate this much more than Attack Attack! reminds me of Chunk! no, Captain Chunk! Just very very fun post-hardcore/metalcore." whole sentence is kinda weird - three separate clauses without connectors or full stops (exclamation marks in band names don't really count as a sentence-ending punctuation as it's part of a named item rather than a grammatical feature.) You also fail to capitalise one band name correctly. "Pretty heat, mosh-worthy grooves for sure." This is not a full sentence. "all is solid." reads awkwardly [123456789] "What if Falling in Reverse was good? that'd be this band." Capitalise 'That'd' as it starts a new sentence. Also an awkward contraction. "if he wasnt there I dont think I'd be nearly as invested." invested in what? feels awkward to end the sentence there. also wasn't* don't* "One of the better post-hardcore/metalcore bands I find to be super standard." two separate clauses put together without a connector "Very great band with many enjoyable songs." 'very great' is an awkward combination of words "Lost in the goddamn mothafucking Static men m///" addressing this kind of comment to only men feels slightly sexist, also unnecessary letter and punctuation at the end, and no sentence-ending punctuation. "Jinjer are one of the most unique modern metalcore bands and no other band sounds quite like them, every album I love." second half of the sentence is unnecessary when you already called them unique, also 'every album I love' should be 'I love every album'. "Very very unique" Unnecessary double word, also overuse of the word 'very' throughout the text. "does that bother me? nope" 'nope' should be capitalised, it's a new sentence. "This fucking album... and I have nothing else to say." the 'and' is unnecessary here if you're trying to use the ellipsis for poetic effect. Overall, grammatically I'm awarding you a D- for this work. You just about scrape past the failure mark overall, but there are some concerningly lax attitudes to grammatical convention displayed throughout. As for the content - F, see me after class.
evilford 02.10.23	Lul
KnickFurey 02.10.23	Good lord, lmao. Poor Tundra.
MoM 02.10.23	“m///“ 🤨
Demon of the Fall 02.10.23	well, at least 4, 7 & 9 are good! (presuming this is ranked, because I'm not actually reading any of it)
Flugmorph 02.10.23	nice list tundra, love slice the cake.
Flugmorph 02.10.23	lmao sint u good?
Demon of the Fall 02.10.23	I would love a slice of cake
Tundra 02.10.23	Shut up Sint no one cares
Demon of the Fall 02.10.23	I can't believe the guy bothered with all that. Boredom does funny things to people I guess
Tundra 02.10.23	"And I have nothing else to say" is the last lyric in the Slice the Cake album. Please come back to this list when you've heard all the albums. Your input is not credible until then.
combustion07 02.10.23	Thread reeks of farts n sharts!!! I need to check Slice the Cake I suppose. I know some of the early metalcore through like 2009 I guess but when it comes to newer shit I'm almost completely in the dark on it
Tundra 02.10.23	I did not care about correct grammar while making this. If I was writing a review things would be different, but this is not a review.
Sinternet 02.10.23	Tundra You're sloppy, slobbering on my dick January 10 09:03 AM • Remove
Tundra 02.10.23	Tundra I don't give a shit about your reviews so please don't give a shit about mine January 10 09:05 AM • Remove
Ryus 02.10.23	great thread
botb 02.10.23	Instead of actively trying to trigger dudes you don’t know by posting bands they like and saying “lol sucks” in a list, why don’t you try to learn the history behind this music and how these bands helped shape your favorite bands before they were even thoughts in somebody’s head?
Vinnymcscoop 02.10.23	Putting BOS on 3 deserves some sloppy head Also, would Archspire be considered deathcore?
SteakByrnes 02.10.23	Reckless & Relentless does whip
0xME 02.10.23	why is 9 here lmao but not a bad pick for #1
kevbogz 02.10.23	but i just can't with it
Tundra 02.10.23	"Instead of actively trying to trigger dudes you don’t know by posting bands they like and saying “lol sucks” in a list, why don’t you try to learn the history behind this music and how these bands helped shape your favorite bands before they were even thoughts in somebody’s head?" Not trying to trigger anyone really, just saying what I like/don't like and it's unpopular so it's gonna naturally trigger that way. The lower bands I dont like them so I dont have anything to say, they are all just monotone and boring me, that's it.
Tundra 02.10.23	it's "popular" now to shorten the title length, it was a bit long after all
BAT 02.10.23	"And then the 2010 - 2013 bands up high is gonna cause outrage too, I think most people getting mad where potentially born in the 80s or early 90s" 1992 >=( also faceless started out playing on bills with pretty much every deathcore band on the past two lists, michael keene also produced most of the early eps/albums by bands like born of osiris, veil of maya, and some early tracks of suicide silence. saying faceless aren't deathcore is like saying deftones wasn't nu metal, they were if you followed the scene back the 90s. if you like mathcore don't sleep on red chords first album, still might not be your cup of tea if you cant stand dillinger tho also if you want to ruffle even more feathers i'd suggest ranking : early cave-in, early mastodon, lamb of god, botch, the chariot, norma jean, everytime i die, gaza, whitechapel, killswitch engage, protest the hero, rorschach, and underoath lmao [whoops, ones with were mentioned in the first list i didnt do my homework]
Tundra 02.10.23	I will say The Faceless has the potential to go higher more than some other low ones because it's not as monotone. Still find it too chaotic right now though, time will tell if I can ever see past it.
BAT 02.10.23	they were surprisingly popular back in their day, pretty much every metal related concert i went to in the late 00s/early 2010s had faceless on the bill so seen them a bunch. i do understand the 'theyre tech death' argument buuut when i was posting on sputnik back in 2008 the elitist tech death fans were absolutely not having the faceless, and then they'd bash/demean anyone who dare posted them in a death metal list lol. annd 'chaotic' is kinda what set them apart from the other big bands like suicide silence/whitechapel/winds of plague, structurally they were all over the place and had tons of random solo-y shit going on. it's certainly not for everyone, my brother would look at your lower choices and flip out cause some of his favorite 00s bands are near the bottom[he was big on btbam at least but he's a huge thall head now].
Tundra 02.10.23	it's pretty cool that they were so popular, I'm liking it more this time around, Leica got some nice hooky riffs
Tundra 02.10.23	progressive technical deathcore I think they are
MillionDead 02.10.23	Yeah, it's just certain aspects of their grooves and riffs that put The Faceless in that core space. Kinda like early Wretched. Like they lean more toward death metal but they also have syncopated breakdowns that are decidedly not pure death metal in there. But anyways man, I would not wanna share the aux with you on a road trip.
Tundra 02.11.23	I'd imagine that most people on this site would prefer to have this ranking be turned upside down, will never get the insane adoration for mathcore besides Rolo
MillionDead 02.11.23	Well yeah, Calculating is the best album here. Also, The Refused shouldn't even be on the list. What's metalcore or deathcore about them?
Tundra 02.11.23	wow the aux with you on a road trip would be a torture chamber
Ryus 02.11.23	listen to botch
MillionDead 02.11.23	He will obviously hate Botch
MarsKid 02.11.23	People would absolutely meet you on an even level if you articulated WHY you dislike mathcore bands like Dillinger et al. There's more of a discussion there and perhaps an understanding that all involved can reach. Like, 39, Earth Crisis, I'm 100% with you; I respect its position in metalcore's history, I understand it was influential, but the works it inspired so completely outclass it that it's hard to get into it. To your point, it's rather monotonous and plodding. Apply that same energy to Dillinger and we're golden. I wouldn't say I'd agree with you whatsoever, but you'd get more of a positive reaction and come across less like you're trying to rustle feathers.
Purpl3Spartan 02.11.23	41 is 1 (2)
Tundra 02.11.23	Articulation articulated
twlight 02.11.23	28 is actually great... it's totally METALCORE. does a good job of it
twlight 02.11.23	and also dude, Funeral for a friend is so awesome... they're not metalcore. i would say listen to their album " Welcome Home Armageddon" it may change ur mind.
Beardog 02.13.23	Kudos on the Nr. 8 my dude. Apparently you and I share a lot of opinions on the bands that we both know lol
MarsKid 02.14.23	"Articulation articulated" Then we're good dude. You don't need to prove shit to people or go after anyone. Like what you like! Can't say I'll agree but I don't have an issue with it. I'm surrounded by people IRL who can't get into shit like Dillinger so it doesn't baffle me lol, just wanted to see you put in the legwork to explain.
