I was the "real metal" kid in high school by accident, the first day of high school I wore an iron maiden shirt and the real metal kids approached me, asked me if I liked some random combination of bands and I answered it right enough for them that they accepted me. Me and them actively bullied the scene kids and it wasn't until half way through high school I went to see asking Alexandria with some scene kid friends and realized I had more fun being with them than I ever did with my "real metal" friends cliche. Becoming a scene kid was so awsome, I stopped feeling like I had to pretend not to like certain bands just to fit in and dress a certain way just to gain credibility from people who enjoyed being awful individuals. Shout out to scene kids for teaching me that I should enjoy the music I enjoy regardless of whatever other people think and that conforming to fit in is not the way to live. I love death metal but would 100% rather were a neon t-shirt with dreadlocks as a weirdo than wear all black and have long hair as a uniform to fit in for some made-up credibility points for "real metal" with that audience. Life is too short to be that one dimensional, looking like an npc with npc dialogue, Id rather try as much as I can and find more things I enjoy than staying that close-minded or take myself that seriously that I cant have fun.

Bro, same. I don't listen to metal much in general, but DH is a band that's stood the test of time for me. I don't believe the message anymore, but that doesn't really matter - In fact I almost find that side of it heightens the drama of their songwriting to a point - It's the songs, vocal duality, consistency between heavy tracks/ballads, and strong overall body of music that work for me all up (I'm finding newer material patchy, and there's definitely a formula at this point, but even on the weaker albums there'll be something great.) They bring a bit of everything I want from metal all to one place, and still going all these years later. Something of a guilty pleasure, but one I can unironically justify.

Parkway, Killswitch, As I Lay dying, ADTR are great “starter” bands to see what sound you are into. Particularly Parkway for most people because they are the most relatable band, and their content is more then just music. BMTH and Architects have got to be on the top of anyones list for the best bands overall. BMTH for pure creativity and constantly taking the music places we never expected, and Architects for being the best “pure” metal core band/sound out there. Sempiternal and Holy Hell are the two iconic albums of the genre

I remember seeing God forbid, shadows fall, chimaira and killswitch (with howard) at the same show in a small rock club in Ireland. Was mayhem. Took a piss with mark hunter, met byron, howard and adam. Awesome night.

This topic is definitely my favorite, been a metalcore fan since 2011 and I love every era of the metalcore scene, the early 2000s with Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying and All That Remains; the risecore era with Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack! And The Devil Wears Prada; lastly the butt rock era with Bring Me The Horizon, Architects and Wage War. I could add more bands to each era but I could go on forever and can't pick which era is my favorite because metalcore as a whole is my go-to, pretty much my every day music.

I feel like music in general is not one of those things that you can just wake up one day and be like “hey I wanna get into black metal or metal core” for me it was always just stumbling across one of these bands through surfing KZread back in like 2008 or just finding a music video on cable TV and being like oh shit that sounds cool. Next thing you know you find yourself down a rabbit hole of exploring for a bunch of these bands that sound similar but in different ways. In my opinion that’s the best way to really get into a genre.

Unearth, bleeding through, norma jean, heaven shall burn, as i lay dying, from autumn to ashes, everytime i die all definitely helped me get into metalcore

One time my buddies and I put on Chimaira's brand new "Impossibility of Reason" at a party and every girl ran out so fast there were dust clouds and a creaky picture frame swinging on the wall

lmao the "old men in metalcore videos" commentary had me in tears dude. I've had this convo w/ alot of my buddies while watching videos hahaha im dead

These videos are getting me excited for some fkn heavy tunes

For me, it started with Atreyu and From Autumn to Ashes, and then it was a quick descent to Poison the Well and Every Time I Die. I got a Victory Records sampler and Atreyu was sandwiched between 2 songs I liked (Taking Back Sunday and Midtown iirc), so I would just let it play through even though I hated the screaming, but one day the screaming just didn't sound so bad to me and everything clicked, and it opened up a whole new world of music to explore.

Trivium is what got me into metalcore, and then subsequently other genres like hardcore. I heard Tread the Floods on a Shroud stream and thought it sounded pretty rad

Finn: ABR, no songs, just breakdowns. JB's shredding: Am I a joke to you?

i remember seeing architects when they first toured the US and got on warped tour, either 2012, 2013, or 2014, i was on allot of drugs so i cant remember exactly, but i remember i bought their demo cd, or whatever they had, but they reminded me so much of the spirit of Atreyu when they first came out, it was fucking pure and hard and when they played live it had SOOO MUCH feeling, not something many artists can give, its that feeling in the singers voice that you really pick up on, and at the time, they pioneered it.

I was heavy into punk, hard-core, and Post Hard-core when Trivium decided to unleash Ascendency on us. Like Light To Flies was the song that converted me and I haven't looked back since.

So glad you included ABR in this list.

I would definitely recommend Wovenwar's self-titled album. It's what As I Lay Dying was up to while Tim was in prison. They're probably the most catchy and accessible metalcore I've heard. very melodic, clean vocals, barely any screaming. I'd definitely suggest them as a gateway band.

you could argue the first 2 The Devil Wears Prada albums are “riff salad”, but their next 2 albums With Roots Above and Branches Below and Dead Throne are chock-full of hooks and more traditional song structures

when you say the new brunswick hardcore scene it’s so cool because i grew up like ten minutes away

Cool to get the ‘Fall Silent’ reference - they were one of my first hardcore/metal shows , in 8th grade. 2002ish?

One more thing about AILD: I always find it sad if people boycott them nowadays, because that also punishes the other band members. And those didn't hire a hitman.

My intro to metalcore was Killswitch Engage. I found My Curse while looking through my brothers iPod and i felt enlightened lol. Never heard anything like it before.

At The Gates is Gothenburg riffing.. Finn, That never went away dude.

All That Remains album This Darkened Heart has my favorite guitar riffs of all time.

the entire End of Heartache album is metalcore heaven

I'm from jersey I've seen God forbid so many times and I can't believe they never got bigger. A company I use to work for I was in shoprites all the time and the one guitar's use to work at one of them

At the Gates are still around and just released a new album.

The sideways "crabbing" move by the Attack Attack! guitarist at 17:05 is their single greatest contribution to the genre.

You sold architects kinda short though, they have many amazing tracks ,awesome video as usual, don’t get me wrong ! would love a part 2 !

i wish you would do another video pointing out the good era of metallic hardcore from the early to late 90s, i'm talking about bands like deadguy, integrity, merauder, undying, ringworm, earth crisis etc.

5:06 couldn't agree more, and a pair of socks wouldn't hurt either

The first two Shadows Fall albums (the ones with Brian Fair) are S++ tier.

Killswitch engage, the curse was the first song that I heard with them, and really got me into their music. But I think bullet for my valentine tears don't fall was my Gateway band into metalcore.

In a metalcore starter kit: the FFO! the Trustkill sticker on the cd with "For Fans Of..." on it.

All That Remains' song "Six" was the first metalcore song I heard. I found it on Guitar Hero 2, and at first I hated it (mostly because I couldn't play it) but after trying it again and again it grew on me and made me check out the full album "The Fall of Ideals." This eventually led to Killswitch, AILD, BFMV, and Waking The Fallen-era A7X.

Black V necks and ripped jeans is still an aesthetic I utilize. It just looks good! I don't have the over-eye bangs though, that's a bit too scene.
