Metalcore

Uh oh! I might get stoned but I'm willing to risk it...   

Does anyone here like metalcore or hardcore? I'm killing myself on Fit For a King and Being As An Ocean right now.

Also, I just adore mallcore... my title is ever so fitting. 

Welcome Mirkwood!  While metalcore is certainly not the preferred style 'round these parts, we've got a few fans.  Hardcore Christian, where you at?

A few of us.  It's not my favorite genre, but I like at least what used to be called metalcore.  I'm old and don't even know the bands you name, but August Burns Red, Phinehas, Becoming the Archetype if they count, plenty of others, sure!

Kerrick, thank you for the welcome.

I enjoy a lot of the bands in which I've seen discussed on this forum.. I'm hoping to lurk and find some new new music (or at least new to me )

Grindboy, thanks for the reply. Those are some good bands you listed! I realized recently that everything I was listening to came out in 2007 or much before that... I'm not old but new music has definitely made me feel a bit so

I have answered the call!!!!

Hey Mirkwood, Ya Im the probably the only self proclaimed "core" listener around here.

I love Fit For A King, Slave To Nothing has been a constant player around here.

Im also proclaiming Haste The Day's Coward album of the year!!

This Friday I get Phinehas' Til The End pre-order

Im also into For Today, Sleeping Giant, War Of Ages, Underoath, As I Lay Dying, Norma Jean, Into The Flood, Blood Of The Martys, Earth From Above, Hope For The Dying, that's just a few


I do enjoy classic thrash and glam metal though. If not for joining this forum 2 years ago I would've only listened to core

These guys really opened my tastes up a bit by getting me into Mortification, Stryper, Tourniquet, Deliverance, Vengeance, Holy Soldier, Seventh Avenue

Hardcore C, hey! That is all around awesome. I actually haven't listened to Coward yet, I will definitely give it a listen now.

Good list.  I'll add Gideon, The Devil Wears Prada, and Saving Grace.

AILD is good but I wouldn't call their last one "Christian."

Check out Facedown Records.  They're having a sale on CDs (as low as $1) for a few more days.

I agree and good adds.

And yea their last one is not but thats why Frail Words Collapse and Shadows Are Security are my faves.

I was tempted but just bought some from MBR
Plus I already own like all of them except like 2

The only metalcore band I'm into is Trivium... I'm also into Demon Hunter and Living Sacrifice but they are only one time listeners to be honest. When I get a craving for them, I put on some of their stuff and get my fix in 10 or 20 minutes. I'm not too big on that scene but, welcome to the CMR, friend!

Welcome dude. I don't listen to alot (that's for Kerrick) of core, but I do listen to War of Ages, Phinehas, Saving Grace, Sleeping Giant, HaShem, and The Death in Me. I'm more of a thrash, power, and doom guy.

While metalcore is not my favorite genre, I certainly dont turn my nose up at it. I think the problem is alot of metalcore sounds the same, but there are exceptions out there. Fit For a King being one of them.

Also worth a listen in metalcore:

War of Ages
A Plea for Purging (I guess they are called "Djent" now I hear)
As Hell Retreats (they arent bad)
Becoming the Archetype
The Burial
For Today
Saving Grace
Wrench in the Works (Decrease/Increase has some insane drumming, at least i think so)
Living Sacrifice (Lets not forget these guys are now metalcore too)

My preference lies in good ol death metal, but those are the metalcore bands that stand out to me offhand

What the heck? my LastFM signature says I was listening to Kenny G...I suspect my wife may have used my phone recently lol

Your phone must be destroyed!   Cleanse yourself of smooth playing weasels who profane the name of jazz!

I recommend removing it from your library. Btw, I sent you a friend request on LastFM.

  You guys are slowly killing me...  But maybe that's your plan!

Oh and Mortal Treason isn't a bad metalcore band, though I much prefer their second album which is death metal with a lot of keyboards.

Welcome, Mirkwood.

My musical loves is split more or less between Metalcore and Death Metal.

No one's mentioned Oh, Sleeper yet.
Beartooth is excellent, too.

Don't know if you prefer to stay on the Christian side of things, but also:

Oh Sleeper is great!!!!!
Beartooth's newest album is killer

I'm into "core" music too. Lately I've been digging oldschool hardcore. Like xDisciplex AD and Seventh Star.

Love those guys used to watch old Seventh Star and Jesus Wept videos when I was little over and over.

I also have gone back and bought some xDeathstarx of course being a fan of early Sleeping Giant I love them since they are basically the same guys

Seventh Star's Brood of Vipers album is just awesome, I haven't checked out xDeathStarx yet but I probably will tomorrow.

I do like some Zao, Living Sacrifice, Demon Hunter, (though I've never heard an entire lp from DH), that's about it, perhaps some songs here and there...

If you want a epic DH album check out the Tryptich or Summer Of Darkness

The Tryptich every song is a freaking classic.

I did enjoy Hardcore from back when in christian music. I forget most of the bands names but I remember focus I think they were called and was it the blamed and some other stuff. I really enjoyed that kind of hardcore. When I first heard Living sacrifice reborn I was over the moon when I heard that album I could not believe my ears! I was sorely dissapointed with the following album and gave up on them after that.
