These days the difference between hardcore and metal is very fluid.
Originally hardcore comes from punk as a counter movement to the increasing comercialisation of punk rock. Early bands to check out are bad brains, black flag, or conflict. Most of the modern extreme metal subgenres are actually massively influenced by late 80s hardcore. Generally you can differenciate between very punky old school and more metal leaning new school.
You have correctly identified the vocals as well as the aggression as definite hardcore elements.
A few older bands bands to check out:
Bad Brains, a rastafari acid jazz band who decided they wanted to do punk and basically started hardcorepunk.
Conflict, a UK anarchopunk band that hasn't gotten anywhere near the recognition they deserve.
Discharge, because they are basically the definition of early UK hardcore and are fucking amazing.
Sick of it all, a 90s new york hardcore band thats still around today.
A few newer bands to check out:
End It, from Baltimore with tons of groove and really bouncy mosh parts with their ep Unpleasant Living.
Gallows, from the UK, especially their second record Grey Britain.
Trash Talk, from sacramento with literally anything they made, although I'm personally loving their 2020 ep Squalor.
And if you like it a little poppy for a change, Turnstile, also from Baltimore, who are currently blowing up like crazy. And well deservedly so.
And last but very much not least Zulu, who will just blow your fucking mind.
Generally, lyrical content is very important in hardcore so I'd recommend checking out the lyrics if you decide to look up some bands. A large part of the hardcore culture is having to say something.

get to it then lol
seriously dude wtf is keeping you from having an adblocker...
There’s something about this EP that really strikes a chord with me emotionally. One of my biggest fears is losing my wife and I cannot imagine the guilt of losing her in a car crash while I’m at the wheel. The repeated line “we should have left before the storm” just kills me. This EP is insanely dark and it absolute goes hard. Can’t wait to hear what they do next
Jheeze. Haven’t had a chance to read the lyrics yet but your description paired with the imagery in the first track is pretty grim man
@@DrewFortune97 I would highly recommend digging into the lyrics on this one. The way the lyrics, the music, and the video all elevate each other is really amazing.
“The rain washes you away” “floating around the bend” “i am with you now” “body is merged between moss and stone” all these lines send shivers down my spine
@Gabe I lost a girlfriend that was pregnant with my kid a decade ago to a car accident while she was texting either me or her best friend while driving to work. This EP ripped that old wound and guilt straight open.
Don't text and drive. It's not fucking worth it.
"We have eachother and thats all we'll ever need" is one of my favorite callouts of all time now
100% agreed, the way he delivers tht line is so crazy good
11/10 EP here. Knocked Loose at their most unhinged. Love it.
The last breakdown still brings a tear to my eye
The emotion in this EP hits so hard. You think it's all angry because of the speed and the screams but when you learn the emotional content behind the lyrics and the themes, your realise that the angry vibes were grief, regret, sadness, loneliness, and all those other painful emotions and that just makes it such an incredibly emotional piece of music.
This EP is the best entry point to Knocked Loose. Even if you don't like the rest of his work, this EP is terrifying. The guitars, the drums and of course Brian's voice. The ensemble itself is a journey, a 20-minute experience in which you come away completely worn out. A truly masterpiece.
Greetings from Spain, Drew :)
I get your point but I tend to disagree. I think one of the earlier albums would be a better entry point. Since this EP is more of a concept thing and doesn't really match their usual composition and sound.
i saw these dudes live and when they went on soundcheck, i had smoked some blunts with some random dudes in the crowd, soundcheck scared tf out of me, just the guitarist testing his guitar gave me the creeps and i loved it
I was at a show smoking people out warning them before hand lol
For me, the key detail between metalcore and hardcore is hardcore gives you the urge to do a spin kick out of nowhere
It makes me punch the air uncontrollably
The final scream in where light divides the holler just crushes me. Love this EP so much
"its a lesson never learned, everyday is gettong worse." One of my favorite lines
So glad you checked this out, Drew. Unbelievably heavy but so emotionally charged. The darkness of the lyrics and instruments, coupled with the incredible animation, is so powerful.
I was kind of a Knocked Loose fan before this EP but when it just randomly dropped, it instantly became one of my favorite projects. I'm a writer by trade, so storytelling has such an impact on me, and KL did a great job telling a story while creating beautifully dark metal.
As far as the difference between hardcore and metalcore, KL is one of the few bands that seem to blend the two. Elements of their music are definitely hardcore-inspired, but I get more of a metalcore vibe from this project.
see I get more of a deathcore inspiration from this project, but I hear a more metalcore inspired sound in their older work.
I saw Knocked Loose live and Bryan said "I want to see you take your shoe off and beat someone with it!"
Finally glad to see Knocked Loose getting the recognition they deserve. And I’m glad you’re giving them a chance. Most people after the first couple of lyrics would just turn my phone off completely. And the vocals are among my favorite in the entirety of metal.
Also fun fact, that you probably already knew: these boys are from Louisville, Kentucky. My home state and let me tell ya. It’s great having something good come from the place you were born in. Even if that place is pretty boring and pretty much ignored by the rest of the states.
Anyways drew great reaction as always. Can’t wait to see that For Those That Wish To Exist album reaction from Architects.
One of my favorite eps ever tbh, at first I didn't like Brians vocals very much because I thought they were really one note but after relistening a few times I absolutely loved them just from how much emotion he can portray through them.
The real nightmare is the ad breaks
Agreed
Will Putney really pushes the sound so far on this EP, sonically huge record.
Knocked Loose have already shown they are an exceptional hardcore band with their last 2 albums. This EP put them on another level that transcends hardcore. The guitar riffs were more than just riffs. They set the feeling and tone of the songs very well. And Bryan's song writing and delivery were amazing. One of my favourite records ever
You mentioned you liked Bryan's vocals. At the start of the bands career, Bryan was kind of mocked for his tone with people liking it to Mickey mouse. He even went a bit viral from the "Arf Arf" part of Counting Worms. I really like his vocals as it is very distinct as you said
The fast parts you kept saying you didn't really like are called galloping, well in drumming it is anyway and it follows a certain drum pattern and is very common in hardcore
ive never seen the video to this ep before, it totally makes this ep have a COMPLETELY different vibe, before i thought, yeah this goes hard, but watching it with this video, its like, yeah, infant annihilator’s storytelling just came to life
Truly one of the heaviest metalcore acts out there, up there with Code Orange and the like. And this EP is a dark continuation of their already balls to the wall sound. Truly just fucking unhinged and I fucking love it.
The best live band I've ever seen. This EP is absolutely incredible
one of the best hardcore records out there in general
Difference between hardcore and metalcore is actually pretty simple. Hardcore is a punk derived genre while metalcore is a mix of obviously metal and, you guessed it, hardcore. Knocked Loose is actually a perfect representation of what metalcore is... stuff like Invent Animate, ERRA, Currents is what metalcore is slowly turning into but they are much more progressive metalcore. Knocked Loose, Every Time I Die, Vein, Norma Jean, Converge, etc are your pure bred metalcore
also keep in mind, they played on the bring me the horizon tour, they played after a pop punk band which went first, a pop kinda rappy ish artist which went second, knocked loose third, then bmth went after them, so was a quite diverse show lol
I saw that tour in atlanta and I absolutely loved the combo of KL and BMTH. I love bmth but I honestly don’t think I can see them again without a heavy opener like KL
As you asked, the main difference between Metalcore and Hardcore is as you said, the delivery of vocals and how songs are structured. You'll never hear like full riffs in Metalcore anymore, the only band I know that ever did it was The Ghost Inside, I believe they call themselfs Metalcore but implement a lot of Hardcore elements in their songs, just like a different vocal delivery and full riffs. Also in Hardcore you won't hear any catchy choruses like in Metalcore these days. If you listen to more Hardcore and compare it to Metalcore you will get the differences instantly.
This album sounds absolutely HUGE, what a piece of work!
PERMANENT BLUE!!!
Hardcore = Hardcore
Metalcore = Metal with Hardcore influences
The screaming in Metalcore originated from hardcore punk. Metalcore pioneers brought in the clean vocals, complex riffs and big guitar solos from metal, and combined them with hardcore to get metalcore. Metalcore has evolved a lot from those days, and arguably despite being "hardcore" on paper, Knocked Loose are knocking (😏) on the door of Metalcore.
At the end of the day, it's all just sick music 🤘🏻
Wow Drew amazing quality on this video absolutely bonkers
Wow! Thank you for the unprovoked compliment on my video quality man🌚💜
7:34 That type of beat is common in the hardcore/punk world, known simply as a "fastbeat."
My guy can put a camera in 4K and editing in 4K but cant install an Adblock Extension... Just follow directions, Drew.
🤣🤣🤣 yeah I am a joke
Been waiting FOREVER for you to listen to this! My favorite metal EP ever probably
Daaaamn, you look insane in 4K! That being said, then i had to switch back to 720p
Hahahaha thanks bro🌚🌚😂 720 RIP
Info:
Genre wise, Hardcore just means Punk. From that and Heavy Metal birthed Metalcore, short for Metallic Hardcore. The very first Metalcore bands had this exact style; raw and abrasive, like Zao, Converge, and the like. Then came the Melodic Death Metal inspired bands in As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, Darkest Hour etc, followed by Djent such as Sikth at the helm and then later Periphery and Architects.
So yes, Metalcore is very often this angry. Pick up an early Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, or especially Zao record and you'll find this aggression all over it.
The music video is super creative and fits the ep perfectly
favourite channel to discover new music to mate, big respect for the grind
Thanks bro💜💜💜
My favorite ep ever. Always playing in my car. I play it from start to finish on drums all the time. LOVE IT
ARF ARF
I wish the Knocked Loose singer would do more mids and lows. I just can’t really get into his main scream but the music is awesome.
I saw these guys live and "royal rumble" is the best way to describe one of their shows 😂
This music video is so incredible. Having Visuals for songs is something that goes overlooked in the metal scene and can do a lot to increase the spread of the music.
Also its crazy that even a couple years ago I could never imagine myself listening to music this heavy but it really is a beautiful thing when you can train your ear and brain to be more open to different things and it opens up a whole new world
Also so happy you're checking this out... the ending stayed with me for weeks after seeing this for the first time
I Walked into my kitchen with the radio on at 4am and i heard the sample they used for this
"god only knows"
It creeped me out since it took me a minute to remember it XD
By far my favorite EP/album from Knocked Loose. It’s so heavy and emotional, it’s so good 😭
This is my favorite EP of the entire 2000s, its a piece of art. And I wasnt even a huge Knocked Loose fan at all before this dropped, enjoying like 4/5 songs here and there from their entire discog. But this EP man, its something. Fcking love it.
Wow, even 4 months later the 4k quality looks insane! Keep up the great work, Drew 👍
I hope you work your way back with A Different Shade Of Blue next eventually. People mention Laugh Tracks a lot and while it has some cool stuff going on and it’s the album that made them blow up in the scene, this one and ADSOB sound more mature and yet terrifying. There’s a song in ADSOB called In The Walls that was inspired by the horror videogame demo Silent Hill P.T. so you can imagine how instrumentally and lyrically heavy it is. Bryan’s unique vocals give their sound a even more unsettling vibe compared to their peers.
How have you never listened to so many banging albums, I'm jealous you get to experience these for the first time, it's fun to watch
Never had an album or EP make me forget to breathe and every time I listen it happens, lol.
I GOT SO EXCITED SEEING THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED!!! Ive seen Knocked Loose twice now, once opening for Gojira, then another time opening for BMTH and they always have the craziest mosh pits even if they are openers
edit: the ad playing right at the drop killed me LMAO
also that asmr bit always makes me so uncomfortable
❤️❤️😂🙌🏻
right before the fuckin drop too, i nearly spit my coffee lmao
😂😂😂
We are due for a full album from them hopefully soon. This ep was released 2 years ago already.
that’s crazy! it still feels like this was released a couple months ago
No way.... 2 years ago already? Shut the front door
Check Inclination if u havent alread, a side project of Issac Hale. Similar style as knocked loose but not quite. Still, very sick.
It was October of 2021 so a year and a half ago. Either way, doesn’t seem like that long.
Unexpected reaction, but i'm so happy you did IT! This album is pure gold, im not a big hard core fan but i have never heard better hardcore EP/album before.
Easily 2021 EP of the year. Masterpiece
FINALLY, Drew I’ve been suggesting this to you for a year now and I’m so happy. This is definitively one of my favorite pieces of music in the metal. This album is fucking cursed and I LOVE IT. One of the lines that gives me chills every time is in Contorted in The Faille. “I am with you now.” That delivery is haunting
Also the main difference between hardcore and metalcore is Metalcore is has a little more of a foundation is metal and hardcore has a little more foundation in punk but both fall under metal subgenres.
Thank god, I’ve been craving more reactions to this EP
Edit: You look simply dashing in 4K 🤌
Oh wow, I got more than I bargained for with that comment 😍✨
Can't wait for their next album. Been a absolutely mental ride since I first found. Loved them since I first heard them, especially the vocals. Idk I guess for me it didn't take time to get into the vocals, I was already into them and made me love the band even more. I guess I like that angry higher type of scream as opposed to lower.
BTW the guy who did the video for this EP also did Meshuggah's I Am Colossus, so you're not to wrong to draw some visual connections too.
Really hope you liked this EP, I remember recommending it back when you just started doing album / EP reactions, so glad you finnaly got to this. I recommend all their other stuff.
Also really enjoyed you giving hardcore vocals a try at 18:54, sick scream man
These guys are like a polished version of hardcore. Also, you look amazing in 4k Drew! 😛
Why thank you. Glad you noticed without any prompt from me to say it 😏
Great reaction! It will grow on you with a few more listens, I'm pretty certain. I would recommend the Laugh Tracks album next.
4:24 if I'm interpreting this correctly, the entity introduced here is Grief, and he's present throughout the video.
This is stop motion by the way, which is why the video looks frame-y!
Yessir!
Will putney is the writer and guitarist for FFAA, as well as the producer
He doesn't tour though.
ALSO JESUS FUCK GET ADBLOCK DREW, IT'S SO EASY TO INSTALL
It's also not the band that puts the ads in hahah
agreed
UA-cam Premium is also the best subscription i got of any streaming services😂😂
Hahahaha I’m sorry bro ;(
Also I know, I meant the label I guess
This ep/video was a masterpiece. I don't even listen to hardcore but this is epic. Something I'd show to a nephew if I wanted to change his life
probably one of my favorite pieces of music ever
Your just now listening to this dang lol didn't know that and I'm going to say good luck before I watch this video because this band is will slap you in the face lol.
Will Putney writes almost all of FFAA except the solos and drums if I understand it correctly. What a lad.
Also, the lyrics are really impactful. ”Light candles just to mask the scent, death comes home”, sheesh
Crazy I randomly searched reactions for this and you just uploaded. Can't praise these dudes enough. Seen them live and showed Isaac my black eye after the show😂🤘
Oh and I would call this hardcore death punk myself
contorted in the faille is my fav
Hell yeah one of my favs when i'm in the mood for some heavy stuff and also emotionally heavy stuff. When you read through the lyrics and understand the plot and consequently also the video you will probably appreciate it even more. Even though its some dark and grim stuff. But I think its fantastic and also art at the end of the day
Finally something really good again... ♥
Hey Drew, looking stunning in 4K dude! Great video, I was waiting for something like this to jump in the comments telling you that if you like this you HAVE TO check out stuff like Code Orange, Vein, Norma Jean, Varials, Greyhaven. I've been getting into the more post-hardcore style and the energy is unparalleled! Cheers!
The 4k looks really nice! I definitely prefer it and appreciate it, but honestly would watch even if it was 1080p.
That’s fair David! Appreciate ya man❤️🙌🏻
DREW YOU LOOK AMAZING IN 4K! Been enjoying Davinci Resolve lately it is BLAZING FAST exporting 4K for youtube. (4-5x faster than premiere pro, pretty sick)
Thank you my friend, how nice of you to leave such a kind compliment without being asked ❤️
Also yeah, my friend is big in Da Vinci as well bro. But damn, I’m just getting used to PP😞😞😞
Wow, Drew you actually look amazing in 4k quality!
Oh how kind of you, completely unprovoked!🌚😂
@@DrewFortune97 no problem! ♥
And now go get some Adblock 😠
4K WOW
😱😱😱
Putney did FFAA and he's a guitarist in the band. He's on a lot of albums tbh.
If you liked this EP, give A Different Shade of Blue a listen! And then if you liked that, Laugh Tracks is next!
Now we need a Kublai Khan - Absolute album reaction
alot like if Meshuggah made FBM now rather than 30 years ago
11:39 in this EP Knocked Loose has much more Metalcore influences than in their previous releases. You can almost call it Metallic Hardcore. It is also much more experimetal like Portrayal of Guilt which the vocalist is featured in the 2nd Track. Nowadays a lot of Hardcore and Metalcore is merging and taking influence from each other. I would highly recomend to check out the 1st EP Pop Culture from Knocked Loose. Its much more on the raw Hardcore side. If you like i can name some good Hardcore releases to check out.
Wow drew you look amazing in 4k quality
Oh you 😍❤️😂
Will Putney is technically in Fit For An Autopsy, he writes a lot of the material for them and records/produced them. He has done a lot of bands. He’s def at the top of the field in metal.
parts like 14:30 are the typical hardcore sound, Knocked Loose isn't just a hardcore band, they also lean heavily into deathcore/metalcore.
I think you would really enjoy the album "Fear & Dagger" by Paleface, it has elements of "what if Slipknot was a hardcore band?" with a bunch of other elements sprinkled into it.
Maybe check out the song "Dead Man's Diary" which features Flo from LANDMVRKS if you wanna get a feel for the band.
Defining characteristics of Hard-Core: vocal delivery is closer to shouting, the rhythm section takes from punk in terms of the drumming patterns and the way the bass tone is designed, and very rarely is there a typical chorus. The guitars are meant to be the "hooks" of the songs with simple, but effective riffs, occasionally there are vocal hooks but it's usually just new sections all the way through the song. Knocked Loose's old music is more true to Hard-Core, their new stuff fits somewhere between Hard-Core and Metalcore so both are technically correct. Their new guitarist contributed to the updated sound a good bit, as he usually plays a 7-string.
“Oh the ads are telling me to turn off the ads.” UA-cam in a nutshell
heavy
hevvy
metal + hardcore = metalcore
P.S. I watched this video in 720
P.P.S. Listen to Pretty Low by Expire for a gardening tool breakdown
BLASPHEMY #4K
Holy 4k batman
🦇 🙌🏻✨
That drum pattern you don’t like is a d beat. It’s really common in punk and hardcore. Knocked loose is pretty much metalcore now but they have a lot of hardcore roots including the d beats for example :p
I've been checking for new reactions basically daily, thanks brodie.
The lyrics and content are a story which basically narrates the video. Bryan (vocalist) is the "main" character, the gray guy. Read the lyrics as you go and it should make some more sense.
Should get on some old school UKHC like Knuckledust or Medulla Nocte!
Highly recommend make reaction on Katahdin "No Longer Room For Us" ( whole EP one 8-minutes video). Also Hardcore. I guarantee you'll like it.
ARCHSPIRE my man
The video looks better quality, i wonder why 🧐
Yeah I’ve no idea man…..😏
ad blockers are free lmaooooo, no hate i just had to say it. good vid bro
What reactor don't have Ad Block ?!
Hardcore isnt shreddy. It has sometimes chorus, sometimes two step, almost thrashy almost blastbeats, and always a breakdown plus breakdown riffs. Also always angry af as a rule. haha punch in the face feels
I swear everytime I watch you, there is something different with your camera or set lmao
Hahahahaha I’ll eventually figure out something I like man😂😂
4K :00000
WHAT?!? I didn’t even notice
Hardcore is a subgenre of punk which is known for pushing aggression, known for being extremely anti government and usually rooted in activism and that drum pattern your not a fan of the (bo kah booty kah one) is the classic punk drum pattern 😁 also the hardcore riffs are where the whole open note chugging started in the form of slam riffs to make you want to flip a table lol. Metalcore on the other side is much more subdued mixing hardcore verses, poppy cleaner choruses closer to classic metal and is more emotionally sad on the lyrical side aswell as the musicianship being slightly more on the technical side of things.
Excuse my punctuation I rushed writing this as I'm at work😅
“Get out of my fucking ear, that’s like ASMR” 5 seconds later “ahhhh get off my fucking SCREEN!!!” I died laughing 😂
loooool fook ASMR and Ads
Me watching with a 1440p monitor and 5mb/s download😢
F’s in chat
id say alpha wolf is a perfect example of a bridged gap between hardcore and metalcore
they are amazing, so yes.
