No ABR or Trivium on a best metalcore list is crazy. I also think that The Chariot, Zao, and Darkest Hour deserved mentions but I can accept their absence.
@@thomasbaldiscola4671 completely forgot about Unearth they needed a spot too. If It were my list I'd probably throw God Forbid in there as well. So many good bands to include lol.
A Metalcore/Death Metal band also from the 2000's that deserves more attention is Darkest Hour, the album Deliver Us is a masterpiece and should be more recognized.
Extremely under-appreciated for some reason. Another honorable mention is Adept. Feels like nobody outside of Sweden and Russia even know about them, and they absolutely rip.
They give me so much nostalgia. Listened to them while playing as undead in WoW :D I personally love Undoing Ruin (2005) a lot more, as well as the album they did in 2014.
@@devcor It's a shame they never took off, they even appeared in a Guitar Hero game. The band is amazing, I think they were missing a single that would make it onto the charts. Nik could do a react to this album, they would pop for sure, they deserve it
Unearth "The Oncoming Storm" is a GOAT album! I had the pleasure of seeing Unearth play the entire album from start to finish last night in Boston! 5-7-8 for LIFE!
Define The Great Line is the album I've got the most enjoyment out of in the last 20 years. Slept on it hard when it came out, because I was expecting more of They're Only Chasing Safety. Such a good fucking album.
Motionless in white and ice nine kills were my gateway into metalcore, now I listen to bands like Converge, Poison the well, august burns red, zao, invent animate, and silent planet
@verdelet11 there’s a metal UA-camr called the metal trenches who talks about bands that he recommends to people, now I listen to bands like brand of sacrifice, seeyouspacecowboy, and fit for an autopsy, he doesn’t like most of mainstream bands like ice nine kills, motionless in white, new architects, sleep token etc, but I definitely recommend people to watch his videos
I'm surprised nobody in your chat mentioned Memphis May Fire - The Hollow for 2011. When you're talking about metalcore albums that everybody wanted to copy, I think that one needs to make the list, especially over The Devil Wears Prada.
15:15 the absolute best way of putting it haha the 5-7-8 years. Haste the Day, As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red not making this list at any point is so criminal that I think it negates the entire list
They should just highlight Nick. It was his riffs more than anything else anyways. AILD were too influential to not be mentioned and still properly paint the portrait of the scene.
@@nicfowler3735 that’s valid but honestly I think of malice shouldn’t won for 2004. It’s my favorite metalcore album ever and lyrically, emotionally, and sonically is perfection to me. The year summer ended in June is one of the only songs to make me cry
Dead Throne is MASSIVELY underrated. Listen to that again. Every track is good there's no skips. It clears "In Waves" and i say that as someone who was obsessed with Trivium as a kid.
I am giving this a playlist and will give it a listen to. Some of these I have never heard of and others I am familar with. I tend to not agree with loudwire's choices. However, I usually do find a few bands/albums/songs I have never heard that i will like. So I do find them a useful tool. Just think a lot of their choices are questionable at times.
7:32 For me 2009 should be either Constellations or Roots Above Branches Below. Both perfect albums that came out 2 months apart as I finished high school. That being said, I also LOVED Homesick. So I'm fine seeing it here
The red chord "fused together in revolving doors" Between the buried and me "silent circus" Ion dissonance "breathing is irreverent" Dead to fall "everything I touch falls to pieces" Every time I die "last night in town"
miss may i monument came out in 2010. easily could have been chosen in my opinion. and apologies are for the weak came out 2009. both were absolute bangers.
Alive or Just Breathing is THE album that blew metalcore up. The impact that album had is massive. Norma Jean is great, maybe the editors didn't want to have certain bands over represented. I don't know... But I feel like that was the wrong choice.
@ayeb0ss I think TEOH kinda rode the momentum of AOJB to take that next step. AOJB's impact is the biggest of any metalcore album arguably of all time. Those first two Killswitch albums are the albums that created the sound we grew to know as metalcore.
Gotta remember Underoath DtGL was getting major airplay on MTV they were getting mainstream airplay that year. So I’m totally good with that pick being there. Also, think that album is amazing in general.
An ocean between us is probably THE quintessential metal core album of its time. Crazy it was passed over in 2007. Btbam: colors is great but it isn’t better than an ocean between us.
Y'all should check out the Scottish band Belgrove who are carrying the torch for that 00s Metalcore sound. Tracks are produced a member of Bleed From Within too
You should really check out the bands "breakk.away" and "field of giants" the first one is described as a female sleeptoken/spiritbox and from the last one i also get some sleeptoken vibes
2009- With Roots Above and Branches Below 2010-Zombie EP I’m fine with dead throne pick for 2011 but haven’t put much thought into what else came out that year.
2006 was absolutely stacked -As Daylight Dies -Define the Great Line -Sacrament -The Fall of Ideals -Allegiance -The Price of Existence (maybe more deathcore) 2007 was crazy top heavy. An Ocean Between Us, Horizons, and Messengers is insane for one year.
Had a +2hr conversation regarding what The Agonist or Jinjer would be considered. They are labeled metalcore but I think personally it would be a disservice to the band to put them with modern metalcore nor traditional metalcore. 2010's was indeed a very weird time for metalcore i think haha
I would have so many albums to pick from from 2004, that was my sweet spot, I had just turned 21, and going to shows became a Lot more fun than when I was 16. Killswitch Unearth Candiria 36crazyfist Kittie God forbid Slipknot All released great albums that year.
To be fair a BTBAM pit during the breakdown of White Wall is easily where I got the most hurt. I ended up spitting blood on the floor of The Orange Peel from getting my mouth busted 😂
It wouldn’t have made it but Music for the Recently Deceased by I Killed the Prom Queen an absolute masterpiece from the early 2000s as far as albums go
Motionless should've gotten a pick on this list somewhere. Creatures, Reincarnate, STEOTW could've absolutely taken Bad Omens' spot considering it's much closer to a *metalcore* album than TDOPOM
I kinda agree with calling in modern metal. But also what will we call it in 5 years ? Because then it's won't be modern. Maybe just 2020s core or pandemic core
Idk I graduated in 2001 in socal and what we called metalcore was a lot different then what played out. Bands like Converge, curlupandie, burnt by the sun, Dill, Lamb of God, God forbid, these we called metalcore. Bands that had more metal to it or were just plain ole carnage like Celphalic carnage. The rest was just hardcore. Unless it had a lot of singing, then it was just punk (screamo, emocore). Norma, evergreen, 18 visions, everytime I die, bane, coalesce Shai hulud ect these we called hardcore. MTV ruined life for so many people and genres😂🎉
There should be A7X in 2003 and Trivium in 2011 but for Loudwire this list was pretty valid. But my favourite metalcore album is probably Eternal Blue, that what happens when you are metalcore, Evanescence and prog music enjoyer.
If they’re going to put some prog stuff on there, I don’t know how they didn’t put Language by The Contortionist for 2014. That is one of the best albums ever created.
2000: Underoath - Cries of the Past 2001: Converge - Jane Doe 2002: Poison the Well - Tear from the Red 2003: Avenged Sevenfold - Waking the Fallen 2004: Atreyu - The Curse 2005: Protest the Hero - Kezia 2006: Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies 2007: Parkway Drive - Horizons 2008: Sea of Treachery - At Daggers Drawn 2009: iwrestledabearonce - It's All Happening 2010: The Contortionist - Exoplanet 2011: Asking Alexandria - Reckless & Relentless 2012: Make Them Suffer - Neverbloom 2013: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us is the Killer 2014: Of Mice & Men - Restoring Force 2015: Bullet for My Valentine - Venom 2016: Architects - All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us 2017: Trivium - The Sin and the Sentence 2018: Ice Nine Kills - The Silver Scream 2019: Whitechapel - The Valley 2020: Bring Me the Horizon - POST HUMAN: Survival Horror 2021: Born of Osiris - Angel or Alien 2022: Lorna Shore - Pain Remains 2023: August Burns Red - Death Below 2024: Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
Corrections for 2006-2009: 2006: ATR - The Fall of Ideals (duh) 2007: AILD - An Ocean Between Us (have to have AILD on this list) 2008: UO - Lost in the Sound of Separation (throw UO a bone for taking off Define. LITSOS is really solid) 2009: ABR - Constellations (duh) Bonus pick: 2011: MMF - The Hollow
The Fall of Ideals is possibly the most consistent album ive ever heard next to Crystal Castles 3 and Juturna by Circa Survive. Not even a single meh song every single one slaps
Not having Waking the Fallen on there was criminal. I suppose maaaybe they just didn't include A7X as metalcore, but their first 2 albums absolutely were. Also no Trivium at ALL?! Ascendancy not winning 2005 is understandable, but In Waves 2011?! All respect to TDWP, but In Waves kicks the dick off of that album.
Honestly if they wanted to put a between the buried and me record on the list they could have removed underoath - chasing safety and put the silent circus on there instead. At least it's an actual metalcore record. Then they could have used the 2007 slot for something more fitting.

Amen.
Norma Jean is still releasing amazing metalcore. Deathrattle Sing For Me was a great record. Easily could have won 2022 here.
I don’t like their newer stuff as much as Bless the Martyr or O God The Aftermath, but yeah they’re still pretty solid
Thank youuu, i always wondered why no one talk about DSFM and all hail!!
Wrongdoers was an incredible record by them
norma jean is the only band i can think of that has had that many lineup changes but is still this good

I listened to Kansas on repeat
I went to all the shows in 2000’s/ early 2010’s and completely agree with your picks.

-The Fall of Ideals
-Allegiance
-The Price of Existence (maybe more deathcore)

Unearth
Candiria
36crazyfist

All the background music is Deathphonk. Playlist is linked in the description
Same :D Seems like I know most of the albums and when they came out till ~2008. After that -- complete mess in my head)
Fit for a king with The Path (2020) should be up there as well as The silver scream.

2011: MMF - The Hollow
IMO Lost in the Sound of Separation Underoath's best song
Eighteen Visions Vanity album is fuckin awesome still.
2007 goes to an ocean between us
The Fall of Ideals is possibly the most consistent album ive ever heard next to Crystal Castles 3 and Juturna by Circa Survive. Not even a single meh song every single one slaps
2013: Killswitch Engage’s “Disarm the Descent” deserves to be in the conversation (but Sempeternal does win).
2020 should have had "The way it ends" by Currents ... My boiz got robbed
Misery Signals are snubbed again. Of Malice and the Magnum heart is one of the greatest metalcore albums of all time.
Yep 100% agreed. Of Malice and a Magnum Heart is the gold standard
Word, it is at least top-3 of all time if not the best.
Not having Waking the Fallen on there was criminal. I suppose maaaybe they just didn't include A7X as metalcore, but their first 2 albums absolutely were. Also no Trivium at ALL?! Ascendancy not winning 2005 is understandable, but In Waves 2011?! All respect to TDWP, but In Waves kicks the dick off of that album.
Shogun could’ve been 2008 for sure too.
I’m surprised they didn’t have Heavener by invent animate, I would’ve picked that over death of peace of mind
Also, why is it that aftershock, shai hulud, shadowsfall, all that remains, and darkest hour all snubbed
2007 - Parkway Drive - Horizons. By far their best record, and the best metalcore album of that year.
I was gonna say Colors for 2007 as a joke. Its the best if u consider it just metalcore because it is one of the greatest
Horizons should have took that spot.

Waking the Fallen is why I Drum/fell in love with metal(core) Poor INK and MiW. No hate here though. I love these articles.
any list without poison the well makes me feel uneasy. I suppose a lot of people didn't grow up with them?
Opposite of December is one of the best
