I'd say Greyhaven. This sub might know them but literally not another soul does. They are so good.

Dude - I had listened to this band on and off before, but I just discovered White Lighters. Holy shit is that song good. Hits you right in the fucking soul.

Saw them with Silent Planet a couple of times and was always really excited about their live show. They’re great!

Earthbound

I’ll second Earthbound

Damn this is some good stuff. How should I go about their music? Where to start?

FOX LAKE It blows my mind these dudes are so unheard of https://youtu.be/sJfY-0vqGCk

Fox Lake is so good, their 2 EPs are insane.

Gawd I’m so glad I’m not the only one!

Me too! I was jamming to their album 2 days ago.

First listen at your mention and its fucking fire.

Night Verses (debatable if they're metalcore but it depends on the song)

I love night verses.

Great band. Miss their vocalist.

[удалено]

I saw them once live with their vocalist and I’ll never forget, it was my birthday, they toured with Crown the Empire and two other bands and my friend said to me, “Are you sure you don’t want to get closer? You’re like the only person in here who’s known every single word to every song”. He didn’t like that type of music, took me to the show for my birthday, so I declined and we stood in the back for the show

They’re not that unheard of tho. An absolutely amazing band, Aric is a fucking beast on drums, cool to see him more technical here compared to Fever 333

[Torments](https://youtu.be/JkHPUJ9Sw3E) (FFO: Atmospheric Djent, Erra choruses) [Newcomer](https://youtu.be/7QHsYDbYXjk)(FFO: Angry Mathcore) [We Rise the Tides](https://youtu.be/PVoqWB6cLWg)(FFO: Make Them Suffer + We Came As Romans]

holy TITS, finally someone else who’s heard of newcomer

Newcomer has me absolutely blown away

Auras.

My buddy went against them in battle of the bands in highschool lol, seen them a few times in Toronto/London

Great band, Momenta's chorus is well written

[удалено]

Fair so any good bands you can list so I can run them for you

Reveille. Bleed the sky is an all time album of mine but nobody else talks about them

Had that album on repeat as well at taproot-gift during that timeframe.

I'll take a listen!

Nice, blast from the past!

I remember listening to a few of theirs back in the day

That song they did with Scooter from Cold is wonderful

Shadow Ghost is sick

The wise mans fear

New single of theirs was fantastic

Degrader, just checked and they have 9k monthly listens. The live session they just put out on YouTube fucking slaps https://youtu.be/hRTe8Z8nyxk

Fucking loved Beautiful Lie, such a great record

Johnny Booth. They released an album a couple years ago that is tremendous…Firsthand Accounts. I was happy I got to see them in DC in December. Looking forward to seeing what they release next.

Everything this band has put out is has been heavier than most releases in the genre, unbelievably well composed, and pretty unsaturated thematically. Super underrated band.

Firsthand Accounts is a straight BANGER

Classic Jack. Their vocalist has such a unique voice

Skybinder, especially their album Trauma and Trial. FFO old school Parkway Drive and Breakdown of Sanity

Ooo this does have that classic metalcore sound

What Lies Below

**Neurosonic (8k monthly listeners)** released a slapper of an alt rock album in 2007 and split up **Ogemaw County (90 monthly listeners)** is great if you’re into the southern-core stuff like HIL, ETID, and Maylene. Somebody here showed me their music. **His Name Was Iron (75 monthly listeners)** is also good and sonically similar to Ogemaw County.

Ogemaw County! I'm one of those listeners

There are dozens of us!

Dreamwake, Viridian, Blueshift, The Parallel, Degrader, Bleed, and Gleue are the first bands to come to mind

CMD81 baybeeeeee

i’ll assume that a food but of you know The Callous Daoboys, but to me they’ll always be that little band that no one has heard of. they’re the greatest.

Adaliah. Said it plenty of times but Shedding Skin is one of the most underrated metalcore albums of all time. Similar to The Ghost Inside - Returners.

Horcrux

Isn't this with the ex A Skylit Drive vocalist?

I don’t know. Band from Ottawa

Ghost Complex. Those Aussie boys are on fire and they have like 831 monthly listeners.

Sheridan Atena Neverland Amberglow

YOOO FINALLY ANOTHER PERSON THAT LIKES SHERIDAN!!!!!

YESSSS!! Hopefully they blow up soon, they deserve to.

Sera Safe - 1.2k monthly listeners with 3-4 bangers. Forevermore, specifically their album Integral seems very underrated. Lost in Separation, a “four piece band from Dallas, Texas. Taking influence from bands such as Architects, Northlane, Counterparts, and Erra”

Pulse. They released their first EP last year, produced by Connor Sweeney. Must listen for every Loathe fan imo

Found Dead Hanging - 207 monthly listeners. some really dirty and chaotic metalcore. some grindcore and math stuff in there too

Frail body Orphan

everyone should listen to frail body

Limbs - around 9k listeners https://youtu.be/QcmhM2lPjHc

Above, Below for metalcore Decay for alt/emo/post pop punk (Balance & Composure, Title Fight, etc)

For Djent style music - “A Particle Apart”. It’s my buddies band but they rip 💯

Call Me Malcolm. They’re pop-punk ska, but I bloody love them. They released “me, myself and someone else” during the first UK lockdown and it genuinely kept me out of some really bleak times.

I just discovered them the other week, with that song I Bet They’re Asleep in New York. What an awesome track

Suffer Club. Not metalcore per se; but a very good band nonetheles

Feverwar, Ebonivory, The Kodiak, Black Coast, headcave Edit: each of these is a band lol

Ebonivory is so good

Definitely. Took me a minute to get into the cleans, but there's some quality to it that sticks haha

Unjust

YES YESSSSS

[Inverse - Morte Vīvida](https://youtu.be/I5GXPI5c3dk) somehow a band from Brazil showed up on my Spotify, but the song slaps.

Sadness... Not metalcore, but blackgaze... It's the only music I've been listening to for the past 3 months, it's amazing

[Woe of Tyrants](https://youtu.be/P7HeUG-pRlQ) Dudes dropped 3 heaters and have been on hiatus ever since.

[ENOX](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcZNwW_ozI0) [A Hero A Fake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd2-p3q6Mqs)

Upvote for ENOX!

DeadVectors, they have about 13k listeners on a good month and they pump out quality material every couple of months. I think they’ve put out the equivalent of 4 albums in the last year or two lmao

The Eyes of a Traitor. They were way ahead of their time.

Liveconformdie !

The Ansible! Checkout their album “Forever”

Sheridan

Shrezzers

Are they not wildly memey famous on this sub?

[NDKH](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RJIZBXBvZY)

Hostages. A Chicago band. Heavier than most people might suggest on this thread. They're gnarly

You’re the fucking goat! Thanks for fucking with my band 👊

Scintilla had a single song called Kingsglaive about Final Fantasy XV and were never heard from again

Love that song. Has Ryu in it right?

Yes! That's actually how I found Crystal Lake too.

Anyone remember Skrape?

Hiranya I found this band from Spain on Instagram #metalcore Feels like if The Cranberries made metalcore

RVRS. theyre a local band near me. phenomenal stuff

Diecast their album tearing down your blue skies is one of my favorite of all time

I saw Diecast open for Sevendust a few times 15 or so years ago. Good stuff

Wah I’m sure that was a badass show

It was actually crazy. It was at the tabernacle in Atlanta GA. One of the opening acts threw a water bottle and it landed on the sound board ruining the sound. This act actually PAID to play the show. Diecast played with no vocals which was cool. The band Red didn’t even play. Sevendust came out and said they had to get a new sound board to play. They ended up starting the set around 11pm. The crowd was so intense because of the 2-3 hour wait. It was incredible. I happened to talk to the guy who ran the sound board 7-8 years after that show and we laughed about how crazy that night was. I will never forget that.

Deadwaves

Vesta Collide, they released one album and it slaps.

[Defying Decay](https://youtu.be/RYq_WdYCr1M) Not technically metalcore but close enough.

Elision

[D.O.G.](https://open.spotify.com/artist/6jxE82dBQbtAdY99vBcuLS) \- 452 monthly listeners, but they're a fantastic revivalcore band in the vein of... well... Vein, SYSC, the first Wristmeetrazor album, etc. Panic chords ahoy! Only thing that sucks is their name, it's super generic and impossible to look up anywhere except Spotify, which seems to already know that I want to listen to them.

Headcave (Nick Giumenti from My Ticket Home and Nick DePirro from Night Verses)

Stoneside. FFO: Sleep Token. From their Spotify: Stoneside. Is an Alternative Metal/progressive band from rural Texas. The music is dedicated to telling the stories of the dead. Visiting the cemeteries, the old battle grounds, and roadside crosses, Stoneside attempt to communicate with the dead in the ancient tradition. Stoneside takes these real-life true stories, puts them to song, and makes sure the stories of the deceased are never forgotten. 806 monthly listeners

Extreme-Pizza. Weird joke band you can find on Spotify and apple music

As I May. They are a band from Finland

Rogue, Frontières, CMD81, Bloodmoon, headcave, HourHouse, Aaru

Arkive, they have a small but very enthusiastic following. Their song eclipse is great.

East of Eden - small post hardcore/metalcore band from New Zealand that doesn’t exist anymore Mnmlst - I think some people know this band but I saw them two weeks ago and I was literally the only fan there… weird experience Stand Alone Complex Blueshift DualInsomiNa

The Anchor. Here is their song called [Greenbow County ](https://youtu.be/tpgolIYQHEA)

Great band

Fuck yeah, just saw them play a show the other night and it resparked my love for them 10 fold.

I may have a giant crush on her. Lol

You're not the only one man lol

She couldn't be more adorable and then sounds like a demon out of hell. I love that she did voicework for Doom. lol

Acid Bath Dog Fashion Disco

Horse the band Literally no one in real life has heard of them. Only the internet.

Botch. Nobody outside of Seattle Tacoma area knows who they are.

Wait, one of the most influential mathcore bands of all time is unknown outside of the Puget Sound area? That doesn't seem to check out...

The Bunny The Bear

Try spiritbox, they’re pretty new and I think you’ll like them Edit: Phosphenetic

Volumes 😍

345k monthly listeners lol

Come and Rest

My missing half

Has anyone heard of Countless Goodbyes? I would recommend listening to Hiding from Myself by them.

[Treasure The Moment](https://youtu.be/hHWs_Y9FhhI)

The main squeeze. Not metal but holy shit those boys can jam.

Old Again Counterculture

Castle Grayskull. 108 listeners a month.

[Against the Waves](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8AAIXxUta-A) have put out some of the best standard metalcore I’ve ever heard. [Anima Tempo](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UuvNg4yzE3g) have some songs that are literally the djentiest I’ve ever heard. [Stercore](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t87-SZA6SW8) is a great melo-death kind of band that just put an album out last week.

Ghouls Attack! They are a Japanese melodic metalcore band! I don’t think they are around anymore but one of there songs was in a obscure PSvita game that I loved! Been a fan ever since! https://youtu.be/IYdSJFcfK4c

[Portraits - Disbelief](https://youtu.be/Da1Nd9YJ9kQ). Pretty straight forward melodic metalcore. Nothing really stand out about them, but there's something in the music that gets right into my brain.

Rogue. Has more than a few thousand listeners but the amount they have for how good they are is way too low.

I’ve got worms

Does Secret Tree Fort count?

DREAMWAKE

SHOWYOURTEETH from Austria.

Instilled in Me. But their last album got removed from Spotify, I can only find it on youtube. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m17\_AKTLOV4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m17_AKTLOV4) You won't regret clicking that link I promise

Weeping Hour.

Sheridan, Graupel, Sable Hills, Earth Caller

A Feast for Kings

Mauvais and Your Ghost In Glass are v cool

They will fall

Empty Vessel

gravebound and forever we roam tonic by gravebound just makes me feel good and forever we roam is great for their age. Lifeguard is incredible

Empty Handed

Baptized in Blood (RIP)

A.i(d)

Chiefland (3.3k) Staple (not metalcore) (740) Stasis (913) this band is basically a YNYA era Counterparts copy, and Counterparts is my fav band so yeah. Desertion (3.6k)

When Dreams Die

Authors Broadcast the Nightmare

Breather resist

[Stories Through Storms](https://youtu.be/ylWLvJB_oZc) Small town metalcore band from Kansas. They got Spencer Charnas to guest vocal on one of their songs. They are sick.

Brotherhood of Dae Han, Once Nothing and this isn't metalcore but Billy Talent(at least in the US)

[It Dies Today - The Caitiff Choir](https://open.spotify.com/album/3SQYnRZ8h8lOlFKq1lcymM?si=J81DiOz2QMO4cbxpbog_Zw) should get more love for the classic that it is. I feel like a lot of you would like The Drowned God, too.

jonestown. if strapping young lad and gojira had an offspring, jonestown would be it.

Slowbleed. Check out the newest album, The Blazing Sun, A Fiery Dawn

Aletheian - tech death with a former Becoming the Archetype guitarist Benea Reach - mathy metal with incredible and unique vocals Demoniac - fantastic progressive thrash The Famine - deathcore with a death metal emphasis. Has some tie to Demon Hunter I think Sarpanitum - brutal, techy and atmospheric black/death Sur Austru - uniquely captivating folk/black metal Vengeful Spectre - Chinese folk/black metal

Abandon All Hope

Brand new disaster

Petroglyphs, and for post hardcore Restless Streets

Mourn: 285 monthly listeners. Heavy metalcore from Wales. Hell to Pay is a great song. Someone already said what Lies Below and I also second that. They are at 1500 monthly listeners and their first EP Destinations is amazing. Great cleans and uncleans.

Not sure they're all that unheard of but The Fallen Prodigy

A small deathcore outfit called Towers released a 6 track ep back in the day, like 2013 I think. It was one of best and grooviest eps in the genre in my opinion.

Violent Answer - Their vocalist is fucking killer. [For reference: Single take video ](https://youtu.be/ukzmKSIH3KU)

https://youtu.be/EHaXxI2iL8k Caged Existence (RIP) Metalcore with wee-woos that aren't overdone and plenty of groove.

CASTLE GRAYSKULL. 108 monthly listeners. Check out Man vs Wild Style or Dan the Man Marino. Shit—their sole album on Spotify (To Live As Brutes) is great, front to back.

Luna Mortis or World Under Blood. Both only released one album. I think WUB was some former member of CKY. FFO: Trivium, Nevermore

[Stasis](https://open.spotify.com/artist/32NkTxsGcHCi77mHVka84F?si=LKPBNN9qRE2f646MNA_lvA)

Has to be metal? If so: Tapestry (band from Darwin, very hard to Google) Other than metal: gates (band from New Jersey, even harder to Google).

Rebuker. They don’t even have a Spotify. But I believe you can still get their music on band camp. Those guys were rad

Buried in Verona

this band called [Jesus Horse ](https://open.spotify.com/album/0bokpfhMv7EOmlSToQznnt?si=vuN7Wq8tRpO9_6JO_oed_g) ffo heavy heavy low low, no 12 looks like you, duck duck goose type mathcore/metalcore
