Metalcore band from Manchester, England active since 2010. Warborn channels the gritty energy of Manchester's music scene into heavy metalcore with powerful breakdowns and melodic hooks.
Melodic death metal/metalcore band from Kharkiv, Ukraine active since 2014. Wasted Heroes blends the melodic traditions of Scandinavian death metal with metalcore energy from Ukraine's second city.
Ventura County, California's Watch You Fall formed in 2024, arriving with a straightforward metalcore attack shaped by the Southern California scene's long tradition of turning beach proximity into aggression. They are a young band with something to prove, which gives their material an urgency that feels earned rather than performed. Metalcore from the SoCal sprawl, built for stages and nothing else.
Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire, England active since 2014. We Are Tyrants blends Scandinavian-influenced melodic death metal with modern metalcore energy from the East Midlands.
Pittsburgh's We the Unwilling have been playing metalcore since 2018, shaped by the rust-belt grit and working-class intensity the city stamps onto everything it produces. Their sound is rooted in the genre's twin commitments — heavy riffs and emotional candor — filtered through the Pittsburgh ethos of doing things the hard way without complaint. A band whose name captures something real about what it means to make uncompromising music in an overlooked city.
Progressive metal and metalcore band from Jyväskylä, Finland formed in 2019. Weightless World bridges the technical ambition of progressive metal with metalcore's visceral energy from central Finland.
Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Magdeburg, Germany formed in 2019. What Lies Beneath fuses Scandinavian-style melodic death metal with modern metalcore energy from the capital of Saxony-Anhalt.
Longmont, Colorado's When Darkness Falls formed in 2017 at the crossroads of melodic death metal and metalcore, a pairing that the Front Range scene has proven particularly adept at sustaining. Their sound draws on the melodic death tradition's twin obligations — genuine hookcraft and real ferocity — while metalcore's structural clarity gives it the accessibility that makes the genre stick. Colorado's altitude, it turns out, suits this kind of intensity.
Progressive metalcore and post-rock band from Bergamo, Italy active since 2009. While Sun Ends blends the atmospheric beauty of post-rock with metalcore's aggressive intensity from the Lombardy foothills.
