Metalcore GENRE ARCHIVES

Welcome to AltCorners' Metalcore Archive!

Defocus – there is a place for me on earth

There’s something about German metalcore recently as the influx of bands have been insane with the likes of Annisokay and Any Given Day leading the way. Another of those bands putting Germany on the metalcore map is Defocus who released album there is a place for me on earth on March 1.

Scene Queen, In Her Own Words and Delilah Bon @ Stylus, Leeds

Scene Queen brought a great night out to Leeds recently with her Bimbos, Beans and Toast tour!

To the Grave – Director’s Cut

 Released on the 24th February, To The Grave's Director’s Cut is well written, full of intense energy which showcases an immense amount of talent from the band. 

Armed For Apocalypse – Ritual Violence

Armed For Apocalypse's third album Ritual Violence is out now!

Underoath – ‘Voyeurist’

Underoath return with Voyeurist, the successor to their huge comeback record Erase Me – and this record will please those dissatisfied with the last outing. Self-produced for the first time in their career, this is Underoath exactly as they envision themselves.

Wage War ‘Manic’ album review

I once scrolled on Instagram through a Wage War fan discussion. They had found little to enjoy from their (very good, if I do say so myself) 2019 outing Pressure, stating “if I listen to Wage War, I want it to be heavy”. They’ll be happy with Manic, for the most part.

Bring Me The Horizon – Post Human: Survival Horror

After multiple listens to this 30 minute EP I have to admit it really digs its hooks in. Having once been a big fan of Bring Me The Horizon before recent LPs That’s The Spirit & Amo left me wishing for a return to Suicide Season and There is a Hell. However, with Post Human, I am pleased to say this is a return to form.

COPE ‘The Shock Doctrine’ album review

Cope released their debut album The Shock Doctrine on 22nd of May. A hardcore assault designed to scream (literally) about the world's ills, Cope intend to draw attention to the crumbling state of the modern world. Fitting, really, given recent events.

Code Orange – Underneath

Three years ago, Code Orange put the entire scene on red alert with their third album Forever. It was seen as a game changer by many, and it is no coincidence that since that album, the hardcore genre has been at a creative peak. Now, following a long recording process that saw the band cancel an appearance at Bloodstock Festival, it’s time to see if the follow up lives up to it’s predecessor.

Wage War, DED and Thornhill @ Key Club, Leeds

Wage War, DED and Thornhill at the Key Club in Leeds was hands down the heaviest gig I’ve put my name down for. That being said, I concluded it was an experience I had to have.

A chat with Telle Smith from The Word Alive

Back at Slam Dunk, deputy editor Lizi sat down with The Word Alive frontman Telle Smith for an in-depth chat on a decade of the band, ending a mammoth European tour at Slam Dunk and more.

Stray From The Path – Internal Atomics

Political rabble rousers Stray From The Path return with their 9th album Internal Atomics. The hardcore four-piece from Long Island have come along way since their beginnings at the turn of the millennium, and this latest release sees them hit new heights.

Album review: ‘Nothing Left To Love’ by Counterparts

Counterparts new record has finally landed; another serving of in your face, aggressive hardcore tunes. 'Nothing Left To Love' is there sixth outing, and sees the band harnessing unashamedly their signature sound, with only mild deviations.

Can’t Swim – Foreign Language

New Jerseys Can’t Swim are back with six-track EP, Foreign Language released via Pure Noise Records. Foreign Language is my first foray into the music of Can’t Swim, I hear previous records Fail You Again and This Too Won’t Pass exploded their fan base around the U.S.

Issues – ‘Beautiful Oblivion’

Issues haven't completely shed the skin that is metalcore on new record 'Beautiful Oblivion', but they've certainly moisturised it with some extra glossy melodies that make the record more accessible to people outside of the scene
