I was unsure in calling PtH and BTBAM mathcore

I'm a lot more down with this than I thought I was when I first read the title. I still need to listen to about half of those albums though.

I've heard them called mathcore for as long as I've known about them from multiple sources.

i think of them as progressive metalcore, mathcore in my opinion is a different thing, absurdly erratic and confrontational heavy stuff, punker

BtBaM should definitely qualify at least. They have a lot of **** going on, but mathcore is still at the core of their sound.

I believe it

Parallax though

damn

There never was any kind of democratic method for deciding the list with the other survivors huh

Well here's what we've got. I bolded the ones that I feel should be included without a doubt, but it's already tough.

1. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity
2. Botch - We are the Romans
3. Deadguy - Fixation on a Coworker
4. Norma Jean - Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child
5. Coalesce - Functioning on Impatience
6. As the Sun Sets - Each Individual Voice is Dead in the Silence
7. Ion Dissonance - Breathing is Irrelevant
8. The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Mongrel
9. Curl Up and Die - The One Above All, the End of All that is
10. The Locust - Plague Soundcapes
11. Rolo Tomassi - Hysterics
12. Daughters - Daughters
13. Ghengis Tron - Board Up the House
14. Creation is Crucifixion - In Silico
15. Kiss it Goodbye - She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not
16. Every Time I Die - Last Night in Town
17. Gaza - I Don't Care Where I Go When I Die
18. Breather Resist - Charmer
19. Knut - Challenger
20. Psycho***ist - Songs of Faint and Distortion
21. Protest the Hero - Fortress
22. Between the Buried and Me - Colors
23. Nostromo - Ecce Lex
24. **** the Facts - Stigmata High-Five

I was at first thinking everyone could like, post their own personal top ten and then I'd arrange them by most spots, but with most likely not that many participants, that probably wouldn't be very fair. Like, if there's 15 albums with the same amount of votes, well that's not helping.

Or we could just do them all. Or even like 15, unl3ess that'd be too outrageous

Why the hell is The Locust on that list?

I always considered them to have mathcore elements. We don't have to include them.
