Amazing Guitar, Amazing Drums, Amazing Bass, Amazing Vocals. Deep and strong lyrics. There is allot of unforgetable songs by BMTH like, Chelsea Smile, It Never Ends, don't Go, Suicide Season And most of theire song, I actully have a story about the song don't Go (Nothing Sad guys.. ) most of the people call me satanic when they notice that I listening to BMTH, something happend in my school that I will never forget, I sang don't Go when I was bored, people loved it so much, now I am pretty much.. got my Revange.. The End <--- laugh out loud..
Well BMTH is EPIC
That is my opinion

Wow 14% and 2nd place has 2%, VERY WELL DESERVED! Had a large variety of music from screamo to electric hardcore. And hands down Oliver can write the best lyrics to grab you emotionally and even make you cry.

BMTH has changed a lot over time, but I've enjoyed every one of their albums, no matter how different they all are. No one even comes close to matching Oli's screams, he's in a league of his own.

The BEST of the BEST. Have immensely powerful bass guitars that pumps the blood. Songs like Chelsea Smile will never be forgetten...

2 As I Lay Dying As I Lay Dying is an American metalcore band from San Diego, California. Founded in 2000 by vocalist Tim Lambesis, the establishment of the band's first full lineup, which included drummer Jordan Mancino, occurred in 2001. As I Lay Dying has released six albums, one split album, and two compilation albums.

This band is seriously talented! They have good lyrics, good singers, good drummer, and awesome guitarists (Nick Hipa) no other bands should be compared with as I lay dying. they have the great talent. Also, they are awesome at live concerts

Lower than bmth, and suicide silence?.. Is this list in reverse or what? All these bands do is chug chug, their songs sound the same. As I Lay Dying has much more effort in song construction. Nick Hipa is a great guy. come on peeps

Its the sound of truth, nothing left, through struggle, morning waits and so on tat makes tis band my best

Come on guys. Bring Me The Horizon is a demonic band. As I Lay rules and they're a Christian band

3 Suicide Silence Suicide Silence is an American deathcore band from Riverside, California. Formed in 2002, the band has released four full-length studio albums, one EP and eleven music videos.

Lyrically, they have greatly matured from there early EP, to life lessons and they way to perceive the world
This band has turned into a seasoned veteran of Deathcore

Suicide Silence is one of the deathcore bands that got me into screaming and this type of music at age 9. Lyrically, they have improved the most out of any other band in this music genre. I believe this band should be at least in First, Second, Or Third.

extreme band, very much enjoyable.
beneath the sky is also good.

yeah that band is my favorite bands,, keep -hell yeah-

4 Whitechapel Whitechapel is an American deathcore band from Knoxville, Tennessee. The band is named after the Whitechapel district in East London, England, referencing the series of murders committed by Jack the Ripper.

Phil Bozeman is an amazing vocalist. His screams are some of the coolest and most talented I've ever heard, and the band is very talented with amazing riffs and solos, by far the greatest deathcore band ever

They have some good songs, but they are very chuggy. Their new album though is really good and a major improvement. I highly recommend this band.

Best band I have ever heard. Meaningful lyrics and Phil really knows how to bring out the emotion in all of his songs

White chapel the best deatcore band of all time Phillip is the best screams singer

5 Asking Alexandria Asking Alexandria are an English metalcore band from York, North Yorkshire formed initially in 2008 by lead guitarist Ben Bruce along with former lead singer Danny Worsnop, bassist Joe Lancaster, keyboardist and synth player Ryan Binns, and current members drummer James Cassells and rhythm guitarist ...read more.

These guys.. Enough said glad Asking Alexandria came to be it showes UK still isn't done with their talent and still can compete, they earned my vote wish I woulda known about this sooner ;D this list isn't bad I don't agree with the order, but I'm just one vote.

This is the 1st and best metalcore screamo band I've ever listened to in my life. I've been to their show and I've never been to a show better than there. I really recommend them, listen to the final episode, death of me and another bottle down.

They are amazing. I love Danny's scream. One of the EPIC screamo song they have. A Prophecy and A single moment of sincerity are one of them. I just love their breakdown.

Good balance between singing and screaming,
Killer riffs, brilliant breakdowns,
Heavy, but still melodic and catchy.
LOVE this band.

Plus, british accents are pretty rad.

6 All That Remains All That Remains is an American heavy metal band from Springfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1998. They have released eight studio albums, a live CD/DVD, and have sold over a million records worldwide.

'This calling', 'oppressive opposition', 'the last time', are all amazing songs but especially 'two weeks' killed it, they are my #1 group

Best band ever, I like the old albums as much as their new one and a can't and will not stopp listening them.

this band is awesome and the vocals sear into your skull

7 Rings of Saturn Rings of Saturn is an American technical deathcore band from the Bay Area, California. The band was formed in 2009 and was originally just a studio project. They jokingly dubbed their genre as "aliencore".

I love Metallica and all, but they aren't anything-core or screamo. They're Thrash.

9 Killswitch Engage Killswitch Engage is an American metalcore band from Westfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1999 after the disbanding of Overcast and Aftershock.

These guys are sick there last album disarm the descent is the most played album I have @ the moment

Don't tell me you have forgotten this one.

The fact that KSE are under AA and BMTH makes me want to shoot myself they should be number 1

10 Oceano
The Contenders
11 Born of Osiris Born of Osiris is an American deathcore band, formed in 2003 in Palatine, a suburb of Chicago. The group underwent several name changes, including Diminished, Your Heart Engraved, and Rosecrance, before finally settling on Born of Osiris in 2007, basing the name on the Egyptian deity Osiris, and the tale of his son Horus.
12 The Architects

You're an idiot. It's a shame that other bands try at metalcore whilst architects exist. They're pure brilliance. But it make sense, when someone things manes like Metallica are Metalcore.

It's not THE Architects! THE Architects is a really annoying old rock band that sounds terrible and, by the way, they're NOT BRITISH!

Makes perfect sense coming from an A7X fan, those boys ruined the idea of Metalcore once the rev died.

13 Parkway Drive Parkway Drive is an Australian metalcore band from Byron Bay, New South Wales, formed in 2003. As of 2015, Parkway Drive has released five full-length albums, one EP, two DVDs, a split album and one book, titled Ten Years of Parkway Drive.

Australian band the best from my country in all genres, listen to idols and anchors and carrion. Actually the whole horizons album is epic

Amazing band great guitar, drums and vocals, also some amazing lyrics and some of the best breakdowns ever. My favourite band.

Pwd should be #1, killing with a smile is the best metalcore album on earth and always will be!

The River is one of the beautiful metal songs ever in my opinion

The band is composed of Matthew Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar, backing vocals), Michael Thomas (drums) and Jamie Mathias (bass guitar). Former members include Nick Crandle and Jason James; ...read more.

Incorporate screaming into their songs well, with good use of both Matt Tuck and Jason James with screaming. Mean guitarists with both Matt Tuck and Michael Paget being able to play anything and everything, and then Michael 'Moose' Thomas tops it off with epic drumming that goes well in their songs.

Best Metalcore band, Tears Don't Fall, Your Betrayal, Suffocating under Words of Sorrow.. ♡

I am so in love with them they are the best band ever

My favourite band ever! Love all of there songs!

Much metalcore-bands sound too whiny and cloned. there are few exceptions, but these are very very awesome bands, like as I lay dying, parkway drive, trivium and of course august burns red!

18 Chelsea Grin Chelsea Grin is an American deathcore band from Salt Lake City, Utah. Formed in 2007, the group have released two EPs and five full-length albums.

These guys are awesome and are my favourite deathcore band! My favourite song by them is calling in silence, it has wicked high vocals and strong lows and its melodic with heavy breakdowns! Haha I love it

Chelsea Grin Yeah! It's the greatest band here! Come on guys vote for them! This band is pure awesomeness! Chelsea Grin rule! Woohoo!

These guys should be at the top, not the 25th. They have an amazing sound way better than the others

Best deathcore band ever. Their best song is calling in silence and last breath.

19 Lamb of God Lamb of God is an American heavy metal band from Richmond, Virginia. Formed in 1994, the group consists of vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, bassist John Campbell, and drummer Chris Adler.

They are the best Screamo band I'm not gonna say anything you can hear by yourself if you wanna something Cool not so heavy hear 11th hour of you wanna screamo hard song hear black label if you wanna good riffs hear walk with me in hell if you wanna good drums hear ruin! Lamb of god are kings of screamo bands and the guitarist will be the next Kirk!

They are in none of these genres. They are groove metal.

King Me is killing ME!

20 All Shall Perish All Shall Perish is an American deathcore band from Oakland, California, United States, formed in 2002.
21 Miss May I Miss May I is an American metalcore band from Troy, Ohio. Formed in 2007, they signed to Rise Records in 2008 and released their debut album, Apologies Are for the Weak through the label while the members were still attending high school.

I just saw these guys live and they were outstanding. Wicked guitar mixed with Melodic Metal vocals and screams you can actually understand from a great front man. should be much higher on this list!

Definitely one of the best Metalcore bands out there. Levi's screams and growls combine so smoothly with the melodic riffs and fast drumming.

Agreed, this should be higher on the list.

Too good to be down here

22 Motionless In White Motionless in White, often abbreviated MIW, is an American metalcore band from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

My favorite metalcore band. They changed so much about my live. They are just amazing, so beautiful. Chris, Joshua, Angelo, Ryan, Devin, Ricky. They are all perfect. Ricky is one of my idols, and I remember when they played upcoming for AA in Copenhagen I met Ricky. He is so cute. I couldn't live without Rihanna, Evanescence or Motionless In White! Seriously.

I can see the pain in Chris Motionless songs, amazing Lyrics, YOU GOT TO LOVE THIS GUY, Seriously, this band is going to be the greatest thing since Misfits and Marylin Manson, they songs have a nice combo between industrial metal, screamo and old school goth and metal bands.

MIW are an amazing band who I can't go without listening to, they've progressed so much over the years and just keep getting better and better with every release

How the hell is Motionless behind Black Veil Brides? Motionless In White is 100% better than Black Veil Brides

Best metalcore out there.

24 Of Mice and Men Of Mice & Men is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California. The band's lineup currently consists of lead vocalist and bassist Aaron Pauley, guitarists Phil Manansala and Alan Ashby, and drummer Valentino Arteaga.

OF MICE & MEN should be at the top. Their songs have a great combination of hardcore screams and clean vocals. Their latest album was so amazingly intense I loved it so much. They also wright some of the most extreme and inspirational songs that make you either just think or just scream along with Austin.

Best screamo band, they're such genuine people, Austin's vocals are killer and their music is so catchy! Also their lyrics are inspirational but also can be fun and uplifting too.

They have amazing vocals whilst still being able to have clear vocals when they are singing, Of Mice & Men will never be even close to being beaten by any other band.

New album is awesome my favorite gotta of mice an men suicide silence Chelsea grin

25 The Ghost Inside

These guys know how to make good music
