Post Reply - The "core" thread

There seem to be quite a few metalcore enthusiasts around here. Hardcore in general seems to be a genre frequently frowned upon by "true" metalheads. Metalcore/Deathcore/Mathcore get a lot of bad press because of that - people label it an immature, trendy musical mutant.  I love good whatevercore. If well executed, it's much more powerful and energetic than typical metal, some bands like to play it the catchier and epic way (Killswitch Engage, All That Remains), some keep it br00tal (Despised Icon, All Shall Perish). There are also quite a few experimental bands, who started off as whatevercore and wandered off into experimental territory (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge). Core comes in many shapes and sizes. Feel free to share your favourite bands/albums.

My top 5 (in no particular order) at the moment would be:

Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache
All Shall Perish - Awaken the Dreamers
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
Parkway Drive - Horizons
Despised Icon - The Healing Process
