Actual good metalcore?
there is no such thing
Early Killswitch Engage is alright. But yeah, there is no actual good metalcore.

yeeeah as someone who has explored the genre quite extensively, i have to agree.
there is no good metalcore. not even pic related, OP.
>>66402883
uhm?
>>66402883
also this

>>66403548
I literally explored every part of the metal genre that there is until I went to stuff that's less related to metal/rock but more related to classic folk/pop, /mu/ stuff and found good stuff and bad stuff in every subgenre; like there is good metalcore and bad tryhard atmospheric post avantgarde black metal.
People forget that Converge is considered Metalcore.
>>66403740
Converge is metalcore because it's both metal and hardcore. that's not the definition of metalcore now
>>66403781
converge can't be put into a genre because converge are gods
Fuxk metalcore, roll with mathcore
Getchu some Botch in your life
Shai Hulud and Integrity come to mind.
>>66403740
I don't know why people always laud Converge as the prime example of good metalcore. They sound like ass
>>66403676
Beat me to it
calibans older shit is good along with this album imo
>>66405568
Soilwork is pretty good imo
>>66402883
Posted this in an earlier thread, but some of my fave non-Converge metalcore
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
Botch - We Are The Romans
Coalesce - Functioning On Impatience
Snapcase - Progression Through Unlearning
Earth Crisis - Destroy The Machines
All Out War - For Those Who Were Crucified
Merauder - Master Killer
Deadguy - Fixation On A Co-Worker
Poison The Well - The Opposite Of December
The Chariot - The Fiancée
Norma Jean - O' God, The Aftermath
Every Time I Die - Ex-Lives
Killswitch Engage - Alive Or Just Breathing
Parkway Drive - Horizons
The Ghost Inside - Returners
Code Orange - I Am King
>>66403525
Killswitch's first two albums with Jessie on vocals are fantastic but they went to shit the minute Howard Jones joined the band.
I haven't checked out the albums they did since he left though, I might need to give them a look someday.
>>66403722
This: most people on /mu/ are fucking clueless about metalcore and think it's all Warped Tour garbage or listen to one Converge album and think they know everything about it.
>>66405568
>>66403676
Every Friday night at this one bar near me, they'll always play Carrion by Parkway Drive over the jukebox multiple times. I get a kick out of it so much.
>>66402883
Architects, Misery Signals
Actually 2008-2010 BMTH is pretty... cool... right?
>>66405751
Agreed.
I don't even like deathcore much but Count Your Blessings is top-tier imo. It's a shame they fell off hard after Suicide Season though. BMTH sound like a fucking Linkin Park tribute band nowadays.
>>66405751
>I forgot about The Chariot, For The Fallen Dreams, The Ghost Inside and Counterparts (some consider it a metalcore band)
fix'd
>>66405837
Fuuuuuuck how did I forget Counterparts? Tragedy Will Find Us was one of my favourite albums of last year. They lean more on the melodic hardcore side of things but I still fucking adore them.
>>66405454
Heavy music that sounds pretty just misses the point.
>>66405886
Melodic hardcore is pretty cool. Like Hundredth. Lots of people lable it as metalcore tho
>>66405454
Converge fans in a nutshell
http://www.somethingawful.com/garbage-day/stuff-hate-converge/2/
>Equal parts beardo, antisocial masturbator, and Guitar Center geek, the typical Converge fan sports a patchy beard, a paunchy belly, and a super-aggro Internet persona with which he overcompensates for his numerous personality flaws and hygienic shortcomings. You might never meet him face-to-face, but as soon as you see his indignant, dorkier-than-thou posts on the Relapse board about how whatever you like sucks compared to what he likes, you can picture him in your head as clearly as if he were next to you, while being grateful he's not.
>>66405930
Word. Melodic hardcore is great. Saw Counterparts with Comeback Kid two years ago and they were fucking sick.
>>66406024
Nice, I would LOVE to see Counterparts live. They are like my favorite band. Unfortunately, they won't ever come to Russia.

>>66405618
Cheers to you for posting TGI wonder how they're doing after thst bus crash
>>66405654
Jesse is back in the band if you didn't know man.
>>66405691
Damn so does this bar I go to always have local metal bands and shit put on a good show and the jukebox always has some good metal and shit playing.
>>66405886
>>66405930
Counterparts and Hundredth are goto for melodic hardcore. Counterparts have some insane instrumentals and I can never find bands that pull thst off in their genre.
They're my favourite and it sucks they're tour got cancelled in Canada I was really hyped.
Anybody listen to Being as an ocean or stick to your guns?
>>66407042
Haha I used to like these guys in my faggot scene phase
>>66407234
Not the biggest BAAO fan, but i really like STYG their early stuff, or pretty much anything before Disobedient
>>66407261
How old are you?
I went to warped 2014 and out of the ocean of shit I checked out Ghost Inside. Easily one of the best sets I saw that day
>all this melodic metalcore, melodic hardcore, and djenty shit in this topic
Holy shit, I think metalcore might be the music with which /mu/ is the most plebeian.
>>66407234
yeah, Being As An Ocean fucking suck.
God I hate that fucking band.
>>66407282
Disobedient started off with some solid tracks then they went too soft halfway through the album. The new song is actuslly pretty heavy so om looking forward to the new record
>>66407234
Being as an ocean bought facebook likes & steals merch designs 2012 never forget.
>>66407323
/mu/ sucks with real emo/real screamo/real metalcore/real hardcore
>>66405751
2008-2010 BMTH was kinda shit, 2010+ is absolute poopwank although Count Your Blessings is actualy really good
>>66407344
Kek I remember that whole merch design thing.
>>66407353
No the same anon. But There is a hell is a decent album. Sempiternal had a few good tracks. Idek what the fuck happened with That's The Spirit I mean it's an okay album if you like poprock I guess. BMTH are like metalcores Fall out Boy
August burns red and for the fallen dream are the only somewhat acceptable metalcore bands sry
>>66405618
The Chariot is the second best band I have ever had the pleasure of seeing perform, hands down. They put their soul into every show, you can tell.
>>66407234
Being As An Ocean had an amazing first album but they just keep getting worse and worse in my opinion :/
>>66407172
this
>>66407435
"August Burns Red" or "Oh no why did we make all of our songs sound exactly the same, now we can't even tell them apart"
They have a couple solid ones but it's pretty much the same shit every time around. I don't know how their music keeps selling.
very similar to misery signals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSDWLbHMk98
it's ETID what is there to say
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wAqPzgfR1s
if you like the sworn in kinda shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77abKq9mF0I
more melodic shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBKyZj9NCYA
if you like clean vocals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TsZLeXruLs
>>66407452
I never got that whole 'The Chariot are amazing live, they put everything into it'. so does every other fucking local band I see. have you ever been to a local show in your life?
>>66407418
There Is A Hell is pretty wank. Don't Go, It Never Ends and Blessed With A Curse are all complete shit, anon.
>>66407570
Yeah, and the music wasn't good which was probably why they were local instead of on a national tour.
Love this song

>>66403824
mathcore is pretty much the superior version of metalcore. I can't think of a single good metalcore band that cant in some way be described as mathcore
>>66407547
barrier is good. or at least used to be.
good shit (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_9Pe3QR6Gs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0mrIbUvncw
>>66407172
PTH is more akin to prog metal than what most people think is metalcore. that said pretty much all their albums are good.
>>66407694
i actually like barrier's new stuff more than their old. it has some pretty interesting chords and sounds for metalcore. kinda trippy in a way.
Solid local metalcore/mathcore band
https://moxiebeat.bandcamp.com/
>>66407743
I saw Barrier with Plot in You (another band worth checking out) in Toronto a few years ago. They tore up the fucking place. Shit was great
IN THE END WE TRIED TO BE
Evergreen Terrace was good, I like Wolfbiker and Almost Home
Only the best
