77. Bring me the Horizon Genre (Metalcore/Hardcore/Deathcore) Sheffield UK, era Modern &

Six FT Ditch Genre (Beatdown Hardcore/Murdercore) Hampshire UK, era Modern

BMTH

So I put the grind on hold for a sec, moving things around again.
Anyhow I think I gave fair warning before that there are some emocore bands are on the list, but I am not going to back down on this one, despite the fact that BMTH attracts a lot of fan fare hatred.

I have been following this band since their early inception shortly after the release of their first ep. I recognized the talent back then, and I am not surprised that they've became one of the biggest names in metalcore, and will continue to do so in the years to come, provided they don't keep replacing their guitarists.

Alligator Blood



Shadow Mose



Diamonds Aren't Forever




Six FT Ditch

I was originally going to pair BMTH up with another metalcore band like the Architects, but after hearing them do a bunch of girlie power ballads, it looks like they're on their way to selling out, so at this point, I've come to believe that metalcore is beyond redemption, and thus I give you some murdercore instead.

Now for those of you who hate the whole...how shall I say...thug attitude of beatdown hardcore, I shall forewarn you that this won't be your cup of tea. It sounds like a combination of New York Hardcore, with some metal and gangsta attitude thrown in. Anyways it does it job,

76. The Dehumanizers Genre (Hardcore/Crossover Thrash), Washington State era 80's &

Articles of Faith Genre (Hardcore/Proto Screamo), illinois USA, 80' & some screamo bands below.

Before Nirvana, Seattle had The Dehumanizers!!! & growing up in the North West I can attest to their greatness, as this is the style of punk I prefer.

Like Chaos UK they are one of my all time favourite punk bands, which I also have probably just lowballed, this whole countdown thing is becoming much harder than I thought.

Kill Lou Guzzo



Chemical Death



Renegade Smurf



Articles of Faith

One of the godfathers of emo/screamo

Remain in Memory



Screamo Bands

There are no real Screamo bands on the list, primarily because I don't the genre, and I'm not refferring to the corporate crap either, aka, Hawthorne Heights, but the real deal stuff as well.

I finally put my finger on why I don't like it though. Traditionally hardcore music has always been music to pick you up when your down, strap on your boots kind of music that has you go out and kick life in the balls.

Screamo on the other hand, is deppressing wallow in your beer music...not even beer... more like cry in your bedroom, and write poetry kind of music. I'll probably like it if I ever get lovesick for Buffy again, but otherwise it's best binned.

Saetia Genre (Screamo) New York, USA, era, 90's/00's

Venus and Bacchus



Funeral Diner Genre (Screamo) California, USA, era 90's/00's

We Become Buried



Orchid Genre (Screamo) Massachusettes, USA, 90's

75. Extreme Noise Terror Genre (Grindcore/Hardcore) Ipswich UK , era 80's 90's &

Rotten Sound Genre (Grindcore) Finland, era, 90's to present

ENT:

Uhg, Grindcore doesn't go good with a hangover. Anyways,Grindcore pioneers Extreme Noise Terror are like a bottle of wine, the longer you leave it the better it is. Let's say you open your ENT bottle in 1986, well then it's like buying one of those crappy value wines at Wallmart, like a Yellow Tail or something. But if you let it sit and ferment for 10/11 years and grab something from say 1997, than mmmm, mmmm yummy.

RIP Phil Vane, you'll always be my favourite grindcore vocalist.

Jesus on my side



Shallow existence



Utopia Burns



Anyways I'll put the brakes on the UK stuff for awhile

Rotten Sound

Another powerhouse grindcore band, this one from Finland.

Decay

74. Suicide Silence Genre (Deathcore) California USA , era Modern &

Exhumed Genre (Deathgrind/Death Metal) California USA, era 90's to present

I noted before that I am not a huge fan of deathcore, as a general rule of thumb I find the genre to be a real snooze fest, in that it all pretty much sounds the same, in other words really monotonous and boring.

What I look for in any musical genre are songs that stand out and separate a band from the rest of the pack, and despite giving deathcore heavyweights Job for a Cowboy, Whitechapel & Red Chord, a good spin on more than one occasion, I'm just not feeling it, that is of course with the exception of this one band. Suicide Silence really could have been the leader of the pack for this heavy metal genre, largely due to a talented vocalist who had charismatic shades of Bon Scott. Consequently he's now passed on, as his long lyrics state "live life hard!" he defiantly did that, RIP, Mitch Lucker.

You only live once



Revelations



No pity for the coward



Exhumed

In revamping this list, I realized that I did not have any deathgrind bands, primarily because when you use the word death in a genre, it seems to take precedence. Thus whether it be deathgrind or deathcore, in the end, it's far more of a sub genre of death metal than hardcore in my opinion.

73. Total Chaos Genre (Hardcore/Punk rock) , era 90's/ present &

The Casualties Genre (Hardcore/melodic hardcore) era 90's/present

In 1994 melodic hardcore hit the mainstream, and punk rock was being redefined by the majors as something more tame and accessible under the banner of Green Day & the Offspring. It was therefore refreshing when Epitaph Records actually signed a straight up hardcore act. Although their political lyrics where way too far out in left field for me, Pledge of Defiance was one gem of a hardcore album. Consequently, they were never able top it, and eventually took to a more conventional punk rock sound.

Riot City



Babylon



Suicide Mission



The Casualties

A band that features a singer who could probably challenge Shane Macgowen for the worst teeth in punk, other than that they've been cranking out a retro punk sound for a while now.

Unknown Soldier



WE ARE ALL WE HAVE



Under Attack

The Batlord

Never a big fan of deathcore either, but Ted Maul had a cool take on it, adding bits of electronica. Not that they really have anything to do with hardcore.

Cool Jungle track. I don't really know what it is about deathcore either. I think for me it's because a lot of it is influenced by the Gottenburg stuff that I was never big on, I'm just more of an American Death metal kind of guy I guess.

72. Propoghandi Genre (Melodic Hardcore) Manitoba Canada, era 90's, modern &

The Leather Uppers Genre (Punk Rock/Garage Punk) Ontario Canada, era 90's

So I guess this is where I drop my big Canadian bomb on the list, considering at some point and time this band surpassed DOA as Canada's most notable punk band.

For me though its really a no brainer, The Offspring & Pennywise have become more accesible to the general public than Black Flag & The Dead Kennedys, so it makes sense that Propoghandi would become more well known than DOA & No Means No. Not really a fan to be honest. I actually prefer every Canadian band on the list that came before them, but taking all bias out, they've written some quality songs, & I recognize their success.

Anyhow I guess that's it for Canadian & British lowbombs, though some US bombs are on the way, locked and loaded, so getting my flack jacket on.
