Silent Planet

Azusa, CA, US · 2009–present · active
Azusa, California's Silent Planet have emerged as one of metalcore's most intellectually ambitious acts, with vocalist Garrett Russell's lyrics drawing from theology, philosophy, psychology, and social justice to create dense, allusion-rich narratives over the band's technically adventurous instrumentation. Albums like 'Everything Was Sound' and 'Iridescent' pair progressive metalcore with post-rock atmospherics and spoken-word passages, creating a listening experience that rewards deep engagement. Their willingness to tackle subjects like systemic racism, PTSD, and existential crisis with scholarly rigor sets them apart in a genre often accused of lyrical shallowness.

Spiritbox

Victoria, BC, CA · 2017–present · active
Spiritbox have become one of modern metalcore's most distinctive bands by making contrast feel precise rather than decorative. Courtney LaPlante and Mike Stringer carried a shared musical language into the project, building songs where glassy ambience, electronic restraint, low-tuned guitar violence, and sudden vocal transformations all serve the same emotional arc. The early EPs and singles established the approach, but "Holy Roller" turned the band's controlled brutality into a breakout moment. Eternal Blue then widened the picture with songs that moved between djent-like rhythm, alt-metal hooks, progressive pacing, and moments of near-weightless atmosphere. The Rotoscope singles and The Fear of Fear kept pushing the balance between industrial texture, melody, and crushing heaviness, while Tsunami Sea expanded the band's sense of space without removing the threat at the center. LaPlante's voice remains the defining instrument, able to shift from intimate clean lines to severe screams with no loss of character, and Stringer's guitar work gives those shifts a physical frame. Spiritbox's best songs feel carefully pressurized: beauty is held in tension until the exact moment it breaks.
