TheSpirit
04.20.22 | just kidding, awesome list. there's a lot of early metalcore that's slipped under my radar, i'll have to check some of those beginning entries |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.20.22 | rec me noisecore or no feature |
dbizzles
04.20.22 | Lots of stuff on here I've never heard of before. Might go on a mxc journey. |
Mort.
04.20.22 | i think of noisecore as stuff like today is the day or playing enemy, but really its a pretty nebulous term. looking it up you can get directed to a wikipedia page that lists oxbow, phantomsmasher and the gerogiererere (or whatevs theyre called) as examples of nosiecore artists lol.
i remember reading an interview where someone was saying noisecore was just what people used to call stuff like botch and converge back in the day to differentiate it from the heavy but less abrasive stuff like integrity.
|
Mort.
04.20.22 | and yeh theres not at the gates core on here, no killswitch, no parkway, no djent or progcore. its good old fashioned american-melting-pot core |
someone
04.20.22 | So what are you saying, I can't enjoy this? Wow okay |
Mort.

kevbogz
04.21.22 | hmmm i guess i remembered more heavy riffs scattered in-between the frog rock |
Mort.
04.21.22 | i dont think of joshua fit for battle as straight up metalcore but theyre pretty damn close as a skramz band
lots of bits on that album have the 'dun dun wah wah' so to speak |
Mort.
04.21.22 | 'awesome frickin list
also weird thing about your lists the dates all have 1s 2s and 4s only
some numerology shit goin down here'
if you can figure out what the numbers mean you get a special prize |
parksungjoon
04.21.22 | feature it regardless |
deathofasalesman
04.21.22 | no lie
you add up the numbers and get 42 |
Mort.
04.21.22 | 72 on this list deserves a mention for being a bit of an odd one out. not many albums from that sort of core on here. nearest thing is maybe the ion dissonance and theyre not event hat similiar by this point |
MeatSalad
04.21.22 | Good list still
I should check Johnny Truant mebe. Down I Go seems interesting |
Mort.
04.21.22 | they are interesting, and they have a new album on the way! |
Senetrix666

04.22.22 | whoops missed this when it dropped.
love the picks here. the fear before selections are sneaky underrated. the johnny truant and architects picks seem a bit arbitrary. |

04.24.22 | "Can’t believe Mort. hadn’t heard of Yashira. Marskid will be sad…"

hesperus
04.25.22 | if 44 hadn't been on here i would have come to your house and slapped you silly. but it is, so you're in the clear |
Mort.
04.27.22 | counterparts are more of a hardcore band in my mind, also not a massive fan of them.
never got round to svalbard or zapruder.
the fear before selections are sneaky indeed, amazing band that deserves more love.
and i like acme i just dont love em. |
Sabrutin
04.28.22 | Siiiick list, much appreciated |

Zapruder are fun
Fear Before > most things |

04.28.22 | Mort I feel like you'd really like Trenches, Kehlvin, and Buried Inside. |
Demon of the Fall
04.28.22 | I need to check Beecher
I am a bad Englishman |
Mort.
04.28.22 | i have heard trenches and like them, havent heard the new one yet tho and its been a while since ive listened to the debut. deffo havent heard them enough to put on this list. Kehlvin have been on my get-to list for ages and Buried Inside i like (just dont love em). in fairness theres a lot of buried inside i havent heard tho |

SteakByrnes
06.29.22 | what is metalcore |
MarsKid
06.29.22 | Metalcore (or metallic hardcore)[6] is a fusion music genre that combines elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk. As with other styles blending metal and hardcore, such as crust punk and grindcore, metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, slow, intense passages conducive to moshing. Other defining instrumental qualities include heavy riffs and stop-start rhythm guitar playing,[7] occasional blast beats, and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically use thrash or scream vocals. Some later metalcore bands combine this with clean singing, often during the chorus. Death growls and gang vocals are common. 1990s metalcore bands were inspired by hardcore while later metalcore bands were inspired by melodic death metal bands like At the Gates and In Flames.
The roots of metalcore are in the 1980s when bands would combine hardcore punk with heavy metal. This included New York hardcore bands like Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, and Killing Time, British hardcore punk bands like the Exploited and Discharge, and American crossover thrash bands like Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and Suicidal Tendencies. The genre emerged in the early 1990s and expanded in the mid–late 1990s. Metalcore bands like Integrity, Earth Crisis, Hatebreed, Converge, Shai Hulud, Vision of Disorder, Merauder, and Disembodied emerged and acquired underground success in the 1990s.
In the mid-2000s, metalcore became one of the most popular heavy metal subgenres with the success of bands like Bleeding Through, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Atreyu, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, Trivium, Bullet for My Valentine, and All That Remains. Metalcore's popularity continued in the 2010s with the success of bands like Asking Alexandria, August Burns Red, and the Devil Wears Prada. Metalcore subgenres like deathcore, easycore and electronicore also emerged in the 2000s decade. Other subgenres of metalcore include mathcore, nu metalcore, melodic metalcore and progressive metalcore. |
Emim
06.29.22 | You know when I did the research it was surprising that Nickelback actually invented metalcore |
MarsKid
06.29.22 | LOOK AT THIS GENREEEEEE |

Emim
06.29.22 | I think it was a quarter. He played high-school football. |

06.29.22 | This is of course a reference to Minutemen's hit album, Double Nickles on the Back. |

06.29.22 | Surprised Bleak lost its spot here, that album goes unfairly hard. |
MarsKid
06.29.22 | Damn, you cut Eden Maine too? Mort noooooooo |
Uzumaki
06.30.22 | @Mars partial Uzucore |
Mort.
06.30.22 | some of the things that got cut is because im actually not v familiar with them or on relisten i didnt like them as much as i remembered |
MarsKid
06.30.22 | If you 4.5 To You the First Star, nature will heal. |

List needs Starkweather and some H8000 shit, Arkangel, Kickick ilk too |
Mort.
07.12.22 | ive never been able to get into starkweather and i honestly haven heard much of the h8000 other than bits of arkangel.
my metalcore intake has slowed down massively tho, not so interested in delving any further these days but i deffo will slowly |
MarsKid
07.12.22 | Gotta make space for at least some modern stuff my guy. |
Mort.
07.12.22 | mars you are the main metalcore user now anyways, all metalcore discourse falls under your purview. |
MarsKid
07.12.22 | Sometimes the line between genre loyalty and Stockholm syndrome is very blurry lol
Your first version of this list helped me deep-dive good sir, this is a big torch for me to carry. |

10.25.22 | Hey Mort. just want to say your metalcore for good people list is a god send and introduced me to a bunch of early bands that came before my time listening to this stuff. Also always great to find someone who appreciates the fall of troy and the DTBM I and II. Appreciate your contributions and recs. |
Mort.
10.25.22 | thanks very much man, glad to have introduced anyone to more of the deeper dives in the genre. im currently working my way through the metalcore of all time charts from here on sputnik, and doing my own rating/ranking of them, so you may want to check out those lists once theyre done in a few months time (or more likely theyll be deleted and ill post a new list with the new rankings and ratings. at the moment those lists are literally just a reproduction of the sput charts with my own ratings underneath each album) |
TSI3
10.25.22 | Looking forward to the new metalcore list and will definitely be checking it out. Keep up the great work! |
Uzumaki
10.26.22 | Mort. putting in the good work |
asaf
10.26.22 | awesome list |

ReAnimator
02.08.23 | List slaps front to back. The more .crrust love the better; one of my favorite pieces of music full stop.
I was on the fence about including Humans Remains on my own list because I consider them more of an outre deathgrind band, but you're totally justified here! Need to check out Seeing Means More and Heiress. Good shit! |
Uzumaki
02.08.23 | If only ReAnimator was around when i did my first 8 -core lists… |
Demon of the Fall
02.08.23 | Coalesce are one of the slowest growing bands I've ever experienced but I'm actually enjoying them now, like genuinely satisfying shit...
about bloody time!
bumped Rope the other day giving it parity with FOI, now thinking of giving FOI a raise also (to the heady heights of a 4 - yes, that's heady!) |
Mort.
02.08.23 | Yeah I wasn’t too blown away by coalesce when I first heard them but now I consider functioning on impatience and Revolution in just listening to be both 10/10s
