Marseille's LANDMVRKS have become one of France's most explosive metalcore exports, blending ferocious breakdowns with massive clean-vocal choruses that rival arena rock hooks. Their albums 'Fantasy' and 'Lost in the Waves' demonstrate a knack for crafting anthemic, emotionally charged metalcore that connects across language barriers. Frontman Florent Salfati's seamless shifts between guttural screams and soaring melodies give the band a dynamic range few in the genre can match.
Columbus, Ohio's Like Moths To Flames deliver aggressive, hook-driven metalcore anchored by Chris Roetter's fierce vocal delivery and the band's razor-sharp guitar work. Since their 2010 formation from the ashes of several Ohio hardcore bands, they've released a steady stream of albums on Rise Records that balance vicious breakdowns with memorable melodic passages. Tracks like 'You Won't Be Missed' and 'Nowhere Left To Sink' showcase their ability to channel fury into catchy, purposeful songwriting.
Long Goodbye are a Durham County metalcore band whose music sits in the harsher edge of current UK hardcore. Emerging with the 2024 release i used to dream of drowning, the group quickly became associated with The Coming Strife Records and a new wave of British bands that combine metallic hardcore, mathcore tension, and chaotic emotional weight. Their songs are short, violent, and tightly wound, with jagged riffs, sudden tempo changes, collapsed grooves, and vocals that sound less like performance than rupture. Long Goodbye fit metal and hardcore scope directly through metalcore and UKHC, especially in the way their music uses breakdowns, dissonance, and panic-stricken rhythm to create pressure. Tracks such as "autolisis," "cauterising incisions," and "endlessly repairing a dying format" show a band interested in discomfort as much as impact. The production keeps the sound raw enough to feel close while still letting each shift land with force. Long Goodbye's appeal is that they do not smooth out their influences. The music feels ugly, anxious, and cathartic, carrying the spirit of heavy hardcore into a more fractured, modern shape built for no-barrier rooms and violent release.
Houston's Long Live The Lights deliver energetic post-hardcore and metalcore that channels the anthemic intensity of Beartooth and Bring Me The Horizon. With polished production and an emphasis on emotional, melodic songwriting backed by heavy breakdowns, the band is establishing itself as a rising voice in the Texas heavy music scene.
