That album was soo good

Honored that On Broken Wings made #3 on your list! I used to DJ in the band for a few years and I did samples on this album! We had a blast putting it together and touring with the likes of Evergreen Terrace, Scarlet, Remembering Never, Calico System -- plus other tours with The Red Chord etc.. For all of us, I think the best thing was being able to leave our small towns and see places we had never been. Sleeping on floors, at truck stops, through blizzards in the Dakotas, sneaking into strangers pools in Florida, discovering the gem that is Jerry's Pizza in Bakersfield, and having Waffle House for our first time on the road. The memories are endless and the D.I.Y. work ethic of figuring things out as they happen is something that made me who I am. Thank you to anyone who let us sleep on your floor, moshed at the shows, or played dice with us in the alley. PS: Fun little trivia for you: Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon named his clothing brand "Drop Dead" after an On Broken Wings song "As You Speak" which is track 9 off of On Broken Wing's "Some of us May Never see the World" album. Both Oli of BMTH and Jeremy of A Day To Remember grew up on On Broken Wings, which is a trip!

Misery Signals might be the most influential band in the modern techy metalcore space that is virtually unknown to the kids of today. They're such a case of "your favorite band's favorite band." Bands like Counterparts, Erra, and Volumes all have their own sound, all have been mightily influential in their own right, and all cite Misery Signals as being their biggest influence.

The bled in general doesn't get the recognition they deserve. Such a good band, I picked up 'Pass the Flask" when it came out just because I thought the name of the band was cool and I do not regret it for one second. That record came out the year I graduated high school and it just resonated with me so much. To this day it's one of my favorite records to put on when I wanna hype up and rock the fuck out. "The smell of turpentine drips from the walls. Forgive and forget, relive and regret. You're not alone I've seen the dead arise.

Great list! Love the bands and the idea behind making these lists. Iktpq has a special place in my heart along with misery signals and it dies today. Not sure if it can be classified as metalcore or deathcore but "In Dying Days" by As Blood Runs Black has 1 of the most legendary breakdowns of all time

I think Brendan loves dissonant breakdowns. Also didn’t notice the Mitch Hedberg reference at 0:47 until now. Just another reason to love Brendan.

Seeing him sing misery signals the year summer ended in June at furnace fest 2021 was one of the most epic moments ever

always surprised when i hear a reference to Sudbury haha, good video guys, and thank you Brendan!

Possibly the most accurate “best list” video on KZread

Great now I have to listen to 2000's metalcore the rest of the week. All these breakdowns... very nostalgic.

IKTPQ were instrumental for the Aussie metalcore scene. If Crafter doesn't go to that first ever Parkway Drive show, history would be a lot different.

EXCELLENT list. Evergreen Terrace should be on this list too though.

Dude not only am I jazzed as all fuck to see IDT get some love for once, but Sentiments of You at that. They're an all-time top 3 band for me. Wish Nick would have stuck around and left us more bangers, I always felt they never peaked. Story time though: Sentiments of You was requested by some dude in Pittsburgh at 3 consecutive IDT shows over 2yrs, it was hilarious. First time they joked about it. Second time Nick laughed his story off but they had a touring guitarist who didn't know it. 3rd time was after Jason took over for Nick and he didn't know the lyrics. The band played the breakdown for the guy anyway and Jason moshed with the crowd while some random guy grunted in the mic. Jason got punched in the face. Reunion show a few years later happened to be in Pittsburgh and they actually played Sentiments of You in its entirety with the OG members. Always hoped that guy was there lol.

What a sick list. Huge respect!

Then u finished with ALL OUT WAR!!!!!! YO my whole late teens and early 20's in a nutshell.

Great list, based on the era I’m surprised you didn’t include Bury Your Dead, but can understand based on the more metalcore taste

Solid list. All Out War, All Day Long!

Glad he listens to actual good metalcore.

Best thing I've watched in awhile. Interesting hearing his list. Everyone has their own opinion and your personal history shapes the list for sure. In my case #1 is probably Botch's "Hutton's Great Heat Engine" or maybe "Oma".

This list is absolutely perfect.
