Newburgh, New York metalcore veterans who helped define the metallic hardcore sound of the late 90s. Celestial Rot continues their legacy of punishing, mosh-ready aggression decades into their career.
Boston supergroup pulling members from Converge, The Hope Conspiracy, and Bloodhorse. Their grinding, blackened hardcore strips any pretense of melody in favor of pure, seething aggression across a substantial discography.
Springfield, Massachusetts metalcore institution that helped bring melodic death metal influences into mainstream American heavy music. Their later work shifted toward melodic hard rock while maintaining their metal edge.
El Paso, Texas metalcore project. Border city aggression at the western tip of the Lone Star State.
Spring Valley, Illinois/Globe, Arizona metalcore project spanning the Midwest and Southwest. The alias-referencing name adds identity play to their cross-country aggression.
Denver metalcore project named after the Egyptian god of the necropolis. Ancient funerary rites through modern aggression.
San Luis Obispo, California groove metal/metalcore act from the Central Coast. Today We Fight delivers the muscular riffing and breakdown-heavy approach that defined early 2010s metalcore.
Lakeland, Florida groove metal/metalcore act with four releases spanning 2014-2019. Their Central Florida sound balances groove-driven heaviness with metalcore's dynamic shifts and melodic hooks.
Minneapolis death metal and grindcore hybrid that emerged in 2010 with the Fear & Coercion EP. The band fuses blistering speed with metalcore breakdowns, drawing from the Twin Cities' long tradition of extreme music.
