Top Ten Metalcore / Hardcore Bands
This is the greatest band of all time...ok, maybe I'm overstating it a bit, but anyway, this band has inspired me to so things that I wouldn't have done without songs like "My Understandings", "SECOND & SEBRING" and even "When You Can't Sleep At Night." These songs are truly amazing. Austin Carlile can scream like heck, and Shayley Bourget's vocals are insane! On SECOND & SEBRING, When You Can't Sleep At Night and The Depths, a guy named Jerry Roush is singing, who is actually the frontman for Sky Eats Airplane. Their songs and lyrics actually have meaning and a style of writing that makes you feel something.
OM&M is the best! Austin's voice is thrilling and Aaron's clean vocals really blends in... Their lyrics are really inspirational and heart touching. You guys must listen to Second and Sebring, and if you don't want unclean vocals, My Understandings and Another You are the best songs! And OM&M are really cute people and they really love their fans and their live performances are fab! Please listen to them! They are the best and I swear you will be their craziest fans ever!
Best metalcore band! Their songs are catchy and lyrics are genuine and inspirational and also they're such nice people! Austin's vocals are killer, he can scream his heart out and they put on amazing shows and hilarious interviews! Songs like second & sebring are written from the heart about Austin's mother and songs like Ohioisonfire shows their passion and anger.
Their newest album is by far my favorite album of 2014, vocals are a god damn thing of beauty! Screaming, to die for. Beat, to die for. Lyrics, mean stuff. Listen to them. Love them.
Asking alexandria are prolly my top favorite band of all time. it pisses me off seeing all these people hate on them for not being "metal". I didn't know there is only one genre of metal lmfao. yes, they don't compare to iron maiden, Judas priest, Black Sabbath and all that but it's a new generation. SO STOP HATING! if u don't like them don't bother even commenting or checking out this top ten article. I'd rather be able to understand what they're saying than just grrgrrgrrgrrrwaah worship Satan. go sacrifice your goats elsewhere ha ha. and Danny Worsnop is one hell of a screamer and singer.
How the hell is Asking Alexandria hardcore?! They're a disgrace to the world of heavy metal and most certainly don't deserve this spot. Plus they (as well as half of the bands on here) are POST-hardcore, not hardcore. Know the difference.
Just read the other comments. You'll realize what kind of band this is. If not, then continue on w your life. But just know that if you want metalcore, this is the wrong band to find that in. They have always been a fan girl band.
Best music in Vans Warped Tour and best album Reckless and Relentless also won 9 magazine appearances
Eh... really? The fanbase of this band is like the most annoying people I know. This band is not THE METAL band like every single person that likes them says. This band hasn't done anything new. They aren't creative or unique. They are stuck in their little tight box of comfort. They don't even come close to being a good metal band. And to all the fans of this band- STOP BEING SO ANNOYING, jesus. Stop saying all other bands are bad because that makes you posers, and nobody likes posers do they.
bullet for my valentine are the best band in the entire universe.
They have an awesome band. their awesome songs rock every coner of the world! bullet for my valentine rock. they should be in the number one place and metallica suck to the core. Long live bullet for my valentine. long live bullet for my valentine! Go drums! Go vocals! Go guitar riffs!. GO BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE!
I totally agree with this list this is a perfect band like system of a down. Bullet For My Valentine have so powerful scream and brutal solo. Nothing to explain if you really like metalcore without any doubt you will like bullet for my valentine. They rocks man. They are my best band and probably they are the king of of metalcore and screamo
Finally happy to see Bullet For My Valentine at a deserving spot for the first time.. This time people have voted wisely.. Keep supporting Bullet For My Valentine in a positve manner and lets make sure they are at the top!
Tyler carter is one of the greatest singers of all time.
Its is awful that KE and AA are at top spots,They are younger and less talented than A7X... Just listen again to Synyster's solo guitars and M. Shadows voice again... Those two new sit at top 2, just changed it...
This is ridiculous. If you think A7X is metalcore, then I'm sorry to say that you are horribly mistaken. Listen to As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, and Parkway Drive. Then listen to A7X. You'll see.
Avenged Sevenfold has the greatest guitarist on the planet... Listen to, Unholy Confessions, god hates and you will be hooked.
Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and Waking the Fallen are simply the best Metalcore albums of the modern era. enough said.
A band which started with a not-so-quite respectable repulation, mainly because of them being scene and not to mention their shoddy lyrical content. Cleans up it's act on the later albums like 'There's a Hell... '. Producing musically experimental and songs that pump you up. Following their later album, Sepiternal which is a worthy of being called a masterpiece, shows the band at their best. From what they have come and then gone through, they have certainly improved like anything. This deserves to be somewhere around 1, or even number 1 in the coming times.
They are an amazing band and Oliver's voice is amazing. They deserve number 1! :D and if you went to warped tour in Florida st Pete and went to the BMTH like I did, you would have seen how big the circle pit was and literally almost everyone that went to warped tour was in that crowd it was huge! Which proves people love them. Plus there lyrics are great, even though they may say bad things and to some people that's all they hear but if you know what he's saying and understand...it's great BMTH is my inspiration.
Sempiternal is the greatest album in my opinion since dance Gavin dance released the first downtown battle mountain. The lyrics show a mature band and oli Sykes tells incredible stories. The band gets labeled poorly because he has so many fan girls. I'm a guy and I think they're incredible and you should really actually take a listen. It's much better than etf bvb etc. That garbage is giving this genre a bad name, and bmth is the only thing that can salvage this scene
Their music has changed extremely since the first album and it's to the better. Oliver's screams are way better than before and he sings a bit now as well. And after Jordan joined the band, their music has gotten more "techno-ish" sounds, and they sound amazing! I think they deserve number 1!
Asking Alexandria should not be number 1. As I Lay Dying have definitely earned that slot. Bullet For My Valentine deserves a spot in the top 10, along with KSE and ATR. The rest of these bands have not earned a top 10 slot. They are more of that scene crowd than anything. Don't get me wrong I like some of them, but I wouldn't consider them the best Metalcore bands.
Man... Bullet and all that remains have not enough talent against As I Lay Dying. Song you should listen to: "Parallels, The Sound Of Truth, Nothing Left, Forever, and Through Struggle.
these guys play better LIVE than they do in the studio. I'll never forget COOL tour 2010.
Wall Of Death while they played 'Confined'. It was raw.
Love these guys, epic screams, good singing, great riffs, amazing drumming, I am yet to listen to a song I dislike by them. FTR my favourite is Confined, love the intro!
This band is crazy. Probably one of the best bands I have ever seen live. I have not seen any other vocalist connect to an Audience like Winston Mc'call does. What also makes this band unique is that they don't have hair style's. Aussie Aussie Aussie.
Easily the best band on this list. There's a lot of balls above it that I'd barely recognise as hardcore or metalcore. PWD displays every facet of what it takes to be the leader of this list, they're brutal live, energetic and super down to earth.
Vote parkway, they're dope!
It shocks me that this band is so so low on this list considering the fact that they should be up there with Bring me the Horizon, All that Remains and August Burns Red.
This band is the best. Love them. First song I heard, I was hooked. Their lyrics have a lot of great meaning. These guys are metalcore GODS.
There isn't really a close second. One of the ONLY metalcore bands capable of not overdoing the 'cookie monster' crunch while maintaining a melody line. 'As Daylight Dies' is basically the 'Master of Puppets' of metalcore...probably the high water mark for the entire genre.
"My last serenade", "Numbered days", "END OF HEARTACHE", "This fire", "Daylight dies", "No end in sight", "Due time"... It doesn't matter if it's Howard Jones or Jesse Leach at the front of the band, KSE deserves this top spot.
the song this fire burns got me into killswitch engage! they are awesome
Songs to listen: My Curse, Arms Of Sorrow, The End Of Heartache
They Are They Best Out There No Questions Asked
The reason Trivium is 17th in this top, is because most of us, fans, don't think they're a metalcore/hardcore band. I'm pretty convinced they're better musicians than any of the other guys in any of these bands.
Songs to listen: Dying In Your Arms, Pull Harder Under The Strings Of Your Martyr, Theories Of Perdition, A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation, Ascendency.
If these guys aren't the best at least they should just be the 2nd on this list behind Killswitch Engage of course.
It's the best... Dying in your arms... Pull harder on the strings of the martyr... A gunshot to the head of trepadition... Its awesome
THIS RIGHT HERE. August Burns Red is infinitely better than all the band's above. They are even better than Killswitch Engage. Just listen to the talent in every single member. Also realize that this is true metalcore.
Should be number one for sure! ABR has wonderful lyrical messages, great technicality, melody, screams...no other band compares to them! Also, slipknot is not metalcore.
No doubt the best on this list. Perfect instrumentals, skilled members, great vocals.
Songs to listen: Marianas Trench, Meddler, Composure, Back Burner
These emo bands and Avenged Sevenfold ahead of Slipknot... ? Killswitch Engage is the only one that comes close but when it comes to being hardcore Slipknot reigns supreme.
Slipknot is a nu - metal band. Nu metal is the most hated genre of metal music and Slipknot is the most popular member of that scene. Not even close to true metalcore.
Although I love Slipknot so much, they aren't metalcore. They're nu metal or heavy metal. It's great that they're in top ten but they still aren't metalcore -
Haha someone said nu metal sucks and metalcore is better xDDD
Go cut your hair and wear your skinny jeans you emo
as i lay dying is good, but mosst of their songs sound the same. all that remains though, sound more unique and phils vocal range can go from high (listen to the song "six") to death metal vocals (listen to the song "the weaked willed"
Defines the Metalcore genre by far, absolutely brilliant band. Albums to purchase: For We Are Many, Overcome and The Fall of Ideals
No wayy all that remains are the best of all. Damn it everybody is trying to see Bullet for my valentine in the first. Sorry boss Fu... It off...
Black veil brides is here and Parkway drive isn't, gosh this is embarrassing.
Number one by far. The only band that holds a candle to oh sleeper is as I lay dying. Listen to the entire son of the morning cd and it will change your outlook on christan metalcore
Theyve worked for everything they have nonstop and they're sound has matured every step of the way. And Jeremy Mckinnon is one of the best vocalist of this generation along with Danny Worsnop and Johnny Craig
They work their ass off for what they love and they have a perfect blend of punk and metal
Amazing vocals and actual talent. The greatest metalcore band out there.
My favorite band by far!
Songs to listen: Hey John Whats Your Name Again, Number Three Never Forget, This Song Is Called
Their entire plagues album is amazing
