Forgot about this band until plug, but Canephora are ****ing insane. I guess they're mathcore, but with an almost black metal rawness and intensity. They were ****ing brutal as ****, throwing in blastbeats to go along with the breakdowns, and their vocalist sounds like he's being murdered. And they're a hometown band to boot. Too bad their only official release is a 7", but I tracked down a download with that and three other songs that, aside from a demo that's impossible to find anywhere on the internet, is all they ever did as far as I know. But those five songs are absolutely required listening for any fans of early Converge (they kick their ass as far as intensity goes as far as I'm concerned).

These are the only two of their videos I can find on Youtube.

I dunno how much people here are into BTBAM, definitely not the brutal heavycore ^this guy looks for, but I've been listening recently for the first time and I'll be damned if it isn't some of the best music I've ever heard.

I listened to Colors first and it blew my mind then reassembled it to blow it again. This guy I know who's really into them then told me Colors is just alright compared to the next two. And it happened again, and again. ****'s god damn amazing.



So you're all aware by now that the metal archives like handle male genitals, but sometimes what they don't include is like, whatever. But I have absolutely no idea how they could consider this "more core than metal", like, they are prog metal more than anything. I barely hear any "-core" tbh, at least the kind that they don't like.

Dude, I love BTBAM. Mordecai is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Frontierer are an up and coming band, a super cool one. If you like the djent-y kinda metalcore (whatever that means), this band slays it something fierce on their album Orange Mathematics. They're not reinventing the wheel with their stuff, but it's still very original in it's delivery and composition, they're some really great musicians. There are a good amount of wtf guitar moments all over the album.

support. I want to see them go further

Facedown - Beyond All Horizons (1998)




This is one o' them post-Earth Crisis, chug-tastic, ultra-aggressive, breakdowns-as-a-way-of-life, almost certainly straight edge and vegan bands that were like a fungus in the mid to late 90s. And for some reason Belgium (where hails Facedown) and especially the Netherlands was thick with the ****ers. It's sort of like German thrash where the American bands were smarter but the Euro trash was meaner. I guess. Anyways...

This **** is ****ing sick as ****ing ****. The breakdowns are brutal as ****, the vocalist sounds like he eats broken bottles, and the guitar tone is gloriously cheap and abrasive. So who cares if there's little to no variation* or originality? All we want is to have our asses smote, right?

*There's a random acoustic song for no apparent reason that might give you the mistaken impression that this was a post-hardcore band, and the last track is pretty standard 90s techno, just with a real guitar thrown in and... Star Wars samples. Yeah.

you could definitely make a case for this in mathcore survivor, one of the best and most original of the century

This self titled album by Nesseria is an essential with the core-ified relentless mathgrind stuff. https://nesseria.bandcamp.com/album/nesseria

But more attention should be paid to this Kurt Ballou produced slab of Gaza-esque sludgeilated dark mathcore album by Cult Leader, who surely will continue to rise in the ranks of all these sludge type core bands everywhere. https://cultleadermusic.bandcamp.com...lightless-walk it at least made a badass statement

If anyone ever finds mathcore to be too technically demanding and out of control, they should listen to Charmer by Breather Resist. Abrasive and off kilter/progressive post hardcore jammed with great ideas and great executions of those ideas.

I think this album is great, so suck on that. Even if it crosses kinda far into the posercore territory. Well, their older albums did, and they certainly were pretty lame, but I think this is good.

I listened to it when it came out but I wasn't a fan.
