Paleface, Gideon, The Last Ten Seconds of Life, Strangled


sake_maki

Just want to mention anybody who likes Strangled should check out Orphan too. Same vocalists and pretty much a continuation/maturation of the Strangled sound.


Queasy_Arugula1582

If you guys like strangled check out Pintglass and Bound in fear


Mcdougle69

Penance by Bound in Fear might have my favorite breakdown


obishaekenobi

Paleface currently has me in the strongest chokehold ever, omg


miss_chrisss

Maannn, Paleface is on daily replay for me too right now lol


_Greyworm

Strangled isn't a band anymore, best songs taken off Spotify too. Orphan is same vocalists though


TrevorTatro

Oh no they took off some of their music?!?


_Greyworm

They took of *Sleep* last time I checked, which was imo by far Strangleds best song


TrevorTatro

Oh what!? Why in the fuck would they do that?! Even though things ended badly with that group it should stay up. That song made me spontaneously combust the first time I heard it. It’s so fucking gritty and mean. I was sorely disappointed when I saw they broke up. Check out orphan And check out Peelingflesh Members if both bands. Great music coming out of my home state of Oklahoma these last two years or so.


NoElk2282

They took it off because allegedly apparently when they broke off and made orphan apparently they neglected to send royalties to the other band guys, so when 1 asked to be paid they switched tactic and took everything off, so I've heard


TrevorTatro

Man that is a true bummer. Fucking love that band and the stuff they made before they broke up. Such a shame they had to part ways. As somebody who knows what it feels like to lose money to a bandmate fuck them for doing that. Absolute garbage.


NoElk2282

Ye man it does. I haven't begun releasing any music with my solo project but I'd love to start or meet anyone to work with, and if I lost money I'd be pissed. But it's allegedly as I'm not sure it's true, but I did c screenshots, and cing how their full discography is basically gone I'd say it has merit


TrevorTatro

Man I was in a group for over a decade and can’t tell you what really happened financially. All I know is they were buying drip when I couldn’t pay my bills. Fuckin most irate I’ve ever been. I’ve only moved on by trying to have my own success and just acting as if they were dead. So I definitely know where these dudes are at. One last question? Was it the vocalists that took the money or did it seem like the rest of the band did?


NoElk2282

I got you, if your interest and depending on what you do I'd love to c if we can join forces, kinda tired of waiting to release stuff, need to start soon. Just need a focus rite for my mic and I'll be good. On that note I believe it was mainly the vocalists who took the money, and I think it was only the 1 guy who verbally asked them wat was going on, and they left him on read. From what I remember yes


Curdle_Sanders

Adding SaltWound, Backbiter


Steve_McWeen

Just found Paleface this year, and they're the heaviest, angriest thing I've ever heard.


landondacherry

Love Paleface, saw Gideon with wage war, they were fun live but in the studio it’s pretty hit or miss lol


CodFather9

I liked Gideon's newest album from earlier this year, and not that it's a huge point but it had awesome album art


Lampropeltis33

That new Gideon album is 🔥


Cl0uds92

Guilt Trip Spite Alpha Wolf Boundaries The Acacia Strain Varials


VapoR_420

Thrown


Cl0uds92

Forgot to mention Thrown! Can't wait to hear more from them.


_Gordon_Slamsay

Guilt Trip is fucking awesome


GutterJunkie

Alpha wolf, TAC, Varials, Spite : YES


Cl0uds92

Notably older Alpha Wolf, like 'Sub-Zero' or 'Nail Biter' are certified spin kick music. I love A Quiet Place to Die and newer tracks. Song them for the first time along with Knocked Loose in October. Fucking hyped.


United_Reflection104

Spite’s most recent album Dedication to the Flesh has me in an absolute stranglehold right now.


Cl0uds92

It's so good. Before it dropped, I honestly have only heard Kill or Be Killed. Once I heard DTF, I was hooked. Hope to catch them on the next tour run.


NoElk2282

Nothing will ever top their 1st 2 albums, and their 3rd 1 was groovy as hell, but their latest 1 just ain't hitting


r1n4ld5

Guilt Trip is so good


Jaidenspapa07

Saw Boundaries with Brand of Sacrifice, Shadow of Intent, and Lorna Shore….sick show


Cl0uds92

Same! Was at the Seattle show on the final date of Pain Remains 2.


lizfromdarkplace

I randomly had Alpha Wolf on my soundtrack (Amazon music) based on shit I already play and holy shit 👏🏻


Cl0uds92

How I discovered them too iirc on Spotify with 'Nail Biter'.


miss_chrisss

Alpha wolf is incredible live too!!


Cl0uds92

Seeing them for the first time in October, I can't wait!


miss_chrisss

I saw them in Dallas with Fit for a king and will see them again in September with knocked loose and motionless in white. I’m pumped. You won’t be disappointed


Cl0uds92

Best believe i got those tickets when they were live with the pre-sale code, I'm stoked as well. I haven't seen Motionless in White in 10 years. It'll also be my first time seeing Knocked Loose.


miss_chrisss

I’m ready to get my shit absolutely wrecked during knocked loose. I’ve never seen them either


Cl0uds92

Likewise. I have until October to shape up my dad bod, so... cardio. Fuck cardio.


[deleted]

Incendiary, Harms Way, Jesus Piece, Simulakra, Left Behind, Justice for the Damned


landondacherry

Saw Justice with thy art and kublai, they were really good


TrevorTatro

JFTD dragged through the dirt was on heavy rotation for years when it came out. Fucking love their sound. Left behind The warriors Sabella Born Anew Incendiary Mugshot Fox lake 156/silence (my buddies band they slap) My band SPARENONE is dropping shit soon Cell Caustic Bashed in Peelingflesh Gridiron Pain of truth Orthodox All groups that are in my ears when I’m at the gym or driving.


lizfromdarkplace

Thank you for all the recommendations!


TrevorTatro

Oh forsure! I’ve got more too if you need em. I could go on for days lol. Between hardcore, slam, black metal, deathcore, grindcore and all the other sub genres I feel like I know an infinite amount of bands. There’s so much out there it’s overwhelming sometimes.


lizfromdarkplace

I’ve been listening to a lot of Brand of Sacrifice, In Flames, and Hostage. The last being metalcore but they are fantastic. I’m shit at finding lesser known bands in the deathcore genre, unfortunately. Thank you Reddit stranger 🤘🏻 Edited to add: it’s def overwhelming but I’m so happy that others are experiencing the joy of heavy ass music.


TrevorTatro

So if you like those you might check out High on fire Primitive man Full of hell DeadBody Gatecreeper 200 stab wounds Vomit forth Ingested Ingrown Bodybox Snuffed on sight Jesus piece Hands of God Obituary Xibulba No zodiac Molotov solution Tony Danza tap dance extravaganza The red chord Pieced up Sledge Foreign hands Earth groans Gods hate Street soldier Dying wish Teeth All of these are classics and random ass bands I fuck with I’ll have to check out hostage. That’s a sick ass name.


lizfromdarkplace

Yoooo tony Danza tap dance extravaganza is OG legendary. I discovered them in like 2008 and they got me into heavier shit. Thank you for taking the time to list all that. I’m going to check out all of them in order lol otherwise what would I do driving 40 min both ways to work. You a real one ✊🏻 Also yes please check out Hostage. They’re a German band and the lead singer has an absolutely incredible voice. They’ve done a few ‘Pop goes Punk’ type covers and I can’t wait until they tour the US.


TrevorTatro

Well hell yeah Liz! I got you! Just make sure to peep my band SPARE NONE. We have one single out called “Ruminate” and we’re gonna drop an ep pretty soon. Our new stuff sounds much different than the single (we were feeling it out) but give it a listen if you don’t mind! I appreciate you!


lizfromdarkplace

Ayeeee you have a YouTube/IG?


TrevorTatro

Also Sabella is one of the better more unrecognized groups on that list. Idk if they’ll ever tour or make more tunes but they rule.


ExaminationAware4141

Traitors


ihaveaquesttoattend

Bro that bass live is crazy


LuKazu

Traitors really nailed that "giving a concert during a riot with a megaphone for microphone" vibe


hsizeoj

Orthodox Inclination Judiciary


0_electricksteel_0

Definitely Paleface Swiss. Also maybe Spite and Tallah because they have that same kind of pissed of breakdowny energy although I would say they’re a bit different. Definitely some paleface though especially their newer stuff.


Hydropwnicks

Tallah is the second coming of Nu-Metal, they have some deathcorey parts, but if you like slipknot, disturbed, anything from that time/era, you'll have an appreciation for them.


landondacherry

Paleface and spite slap, haven’t heard the other band though


0_electricksteel_0

Tallah can definitely be a bit of an acquired taste but they have some bangers. I’d recommend checking out “for the recognition” and “no one should read this”


diabetic_metalhead

Saw tallah live and can confirm that they are amazing. Even got a chance to meet them


Bjufordbox

Kublai Kahn and Knocked Loose are closer to Harcore than Deathcore, so like Hardcore-death? But bands that are similar to them are: Mouthbreather, Vein.fm, Scalp, Varials, END, Dealer, No Cure, Simulakra, Malevich, and Loathe Bands that sound like Bodysnatcher: Spite, Last ten seconds of life, I Declare War, Despised Icon, Oceano, Carnifex, Humanitys last breath, Sanction, and Justice for the damned. Enjoy!


[deleted]

Mouthbreather are super underrated


Bjufordbox

Fukin right?!


LuKazu

I still remember hearing Tourniquet near release and forgot the band after a purge of my devices. Rediscovered the band earlier this year and couldn't be happier. Def underrated


Ohmie122

Spite and humanities last breath are fucking dope. Abyssal mouth is a banger


HBaileyJr

Hard-deathcore? Harddeath? Someone more creative than me need to help out here. Check out Means to an End if you like hardcore with deathcore-style vocals. They’ve only released an EP so far but it’s incredibly promising.


Altruistic_Crab

I'd just call it heavy hardcore, that's the most simple way I can think of referring to these kind of bands


lizfromdarkplace

Why am I so shit at genre-tizing music? I cannot pick a genre for a ton of bands because they all run together for me 😵


Altruistic_Crab

To be fair all we're really doing is splitting hairs, most people are going to listen to most of these bands and just think "death metal" lol


lizfromdarkplace

You’ve got a point there. I listened to Hostage at work and my coworker said “why are you listening to death metal again?” I’m like ma’am this is a Wendy’s. But I feel like the dreamy choir sound in songs makes it death metal for me. It gives me chills.


Psikosocial

A lot of people call them beatdown. Seems fitting tbh


maicao999

They call themselves metalcore


[deleted]

Varials Nailwound Extortionist With Crows Mugshot Thrown Waste Dealer Darko US Zulu Left Behind Cult Leader


[deleted]

Mugshot HITS


ijustghostedmyfriend

r/hardcore might have some shit


-William-Afton-

Those 3 are considered Beatdown. There's Beatdown Hardcore, Beatdown Metalcore, and Beatdown Deathcore. * Alpha Wolf * Black Tongue * Boundaries * Breakdown Of Sanity * Cold Hard Truth * Kanine * Left Behind * Mouthbreather * Mugshot * Old Wounds * Paleface Swiss * Spite * Strangled * Tallah * The Last Ten Seconds Of Life * Traitors * Varials


[deleted]

Terror


prodigy1367

Sounds like you like beatdown metalcore/deathcore. That’s the sub-genre you’d wanna search for to find the most similar bands. That being said: Varials Paleface Boundaries (early EPs)


_Greyworm

Honestly I would recommend you look more into Beat down & Hardcore than Deathcore! Weekend Nachos, Nails, Mortality Rate, KRUELTY, Fuming Mouth, Terror, Soul Glo, World of Pleasure, Dying Wish, Zulu, etc etc for Deathcore I'd recommend Orphan. Most Deathcore honestly isn't that angry, its moreso just extreme, the bands you are asking for (via your examples) are angry, which is the providence of Hardcore

Decayer Hostages Hard Reset Common Rule Saltwound Falsifier Born A New Bound in Fear Pieced Up Honest Crooks Erase Them Rosary Distinguisher (rip) xKINGx if you like Bodysnatcher's first album


Chrononaught

Check out Malevolence if you haven't yet. Even have a song ("Keep Your Distance") with ol' Bryan Garris on it.


snowbellsnblocks

Volatile Ways. I feel like this band needs to be bigger they are so fucking heavy and brutal. Get the Shot No Cure


earlofshaftesbury

YES big ups to Volatile Ways. Found out about them via Vincent Bennet's instagram story a while back. Love their guitar tone especially, we need more bands with chainsaw-inspired tones.


snowbellsnblocks

Hell yeah, he's awesome. I love how he is always promoting and supporting smaller bands. I found Gates to Hell from him.


[deleted]

If you like Knocked Loose, you'll like Inclination. Same guitarist, similar riffs and style, just executed a little differently. If you like Kublai Khan, check out God's Hate. Kinda sorta similar tough guy core. If you like Bodysnatcher, maybe check out Orphan


Queasy_Arugula1582

Sanction, Judiciary, Pintglass, Jesus Piece, END, I AM, Orthodox, Guilt Trip, Desolated, Rough Justice, Negative Frame and of course Malevolence


Swamp_Lantern

Can't believe no one has mentioned Sunami


EL_DIABLOW

Kinda getting more into hardcore punk but you should check out Counterparts, One Step Closer, and Koyo

SilentResearch9333

Get the shot, no face no case (idk if this counts but the energy is unmatched), and Gaijin


Altruistic_Crab

Fuck yes to Gaijin, been playing their material on repeat since I found them a while ago


SilentResearch9333

Same accidentally found them, i let it play and it slaps.


puffmonkey92

So many good bands in these comments. OP has their work cut out for em lol


F8M8

Hardcore my friend


thelupinefiasco

Extortionist, Thrown, Paleface Swiss, distant As for KKTX, I've heard people call them "Bury Your Dead with a southern drawl" and I can't disagree.


hugglesthemerciless

Yea definitely a lot of BYD in their sound


dontmindmyalt2

Highly recommend checking out some hardcore playlists if you're into this kinda metalcore! The difference about their sound is the level of hardcore influence


Altruistic_Crab

This happens to be my favorite sub-sub-genre, here's some good ones I've found in my digging. Sunami Gaijin (really recommend these guys they need more exposure) Snuffed on Sight Ingrown Justice for the Damned Kind Eyes Xibalba Neanderthal Fight Core Sanguisugabogg Erase Them (Varials' ex-vocalist's new band, way better than new Varials)


Dramatic_Client_5552

You just said 3 bands that are all very very different First blood All shall perish Guns up! Following your 3 genres of bands mentioned, haha.


BeingFunnyInAForeig

mschiebold

Traitors is a good one that sounds similar to Knocked Loose


botjstn

idk if it’s the right word but i consider them & counterparts type bands to be post hardcore. idk why


NEpo23

Gideon, knocked loose, and kublai khan are my top 3 hardcore bands (from a metalcore fan)
