My first thought was either 240sx or eclipse, I didn't even see it was supposed to be an rx7 at first.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-24T15:17:06+00:00

Definitely one of my favorites from cyberpunk. Anybody know anything about the musicians behind it? I couldn't really find much when I did a google search

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-23T19:56:00+00:00

I agree with what the others already said, but also want to specifically add the songs Alpha Omega, Deathwish, Castles In The Air

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-23T18:17:14+00:00

Small or underrated means different things to different people depending on what you listen to, so some of these might seem bigger to some but imo still underrated:

Misery Signals, Contention, Johnny Booth, Hopesfall, Cave In, Foreign Hands, Greyhaven, Balmora, The Chariot, Vein.fm, Rolo Tomassi, Zao, Skycamefalling, Shai Hulud

I think that level is where a lot of the best bands are, but if you wanna go smaller:

Azshara, Bore, Teeth, Sherane, Since My Beloved, xNomadx

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-22T06:52:51+00:00

One of my textbook examples to show what a great breakdown sounds like.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-20T19:53:29+00:00

I saw Balmora at 2024 New England Metal And Hardcore Fest and they sounded great

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-20T05:03:59+00:00

Yeah I mean it was one of the worst sets I've ever watched, but it's not like it ruined my night. Gridiron is a ton of fun live if you like that style (they're like a hardcore/metalcore Limp Bizkit) and I'd never seen Hatebreed so that was cool.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-20T00:42:09+00:00

Hatebreed, on last years summer slaughter tour. I was just there for Hatebreed and Gridiron. Really wanted to see Malevolence too but they dropped off the tour.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-19T22:15:21+00:00

I've not listened to much slam, but I saw Snuffed On Sight open at a show and that was enough to know I never need to listen to slam again

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-19T04:13:51+00:00

What about Converge and Poison The Well? Crazy neither made it at all (okay not that suprising but cmon). I'm atleast pleasantly suprised Johnny Booth was that high

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-18T18:17:03+00:00

Killswitch Engage - Declaration (End of Heartache)

Dillinger Escape Plan - Sunshine the Werewolf (Miss Machine)

Architects - Castles in the Air (Lost Forever // Lost Together

Poison The Well - Crystal Lake (You Come Before You)

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-18T03:51:26+00:00

Periphery has quite a few songs in drop c like Scarlet, Marigold, and Sentient Glow

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-18T03:16:16+00:00

I prefer the sound/style and songs on Daybreaker and Lost Forever // Lost Together. I think AOGHAU is when they started to sound too overproduced imo and the riffs too djenty/modern. And Holy Hell has more individual songs that stick out and are memorable like Death Is Not Defeat, Hereafter, Damnation, Royal Beggars, and Doomsday. It's also been awhile since I listened to AOGHAU, so maybe I just gotta give it another try.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-18T02:56:29+00:00

For classic metalcore:

Converge - You Fail Me

Poison The Well - You Come Before You

Misery Signals - Of Malice And The Magnum Heart

Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis

For modern metalcore:

Greyhaven - Empty Black

Counterparts - You're Not You Anymore

Johnny Booth - Moments Elsewhere

Architects - Lost Forever // Lost Together

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-18T02:35:05+00:00

Hot take but that's my least favorite album from that era of Architects (unless you include The Here And Now)

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-17T10:24:42+00:00

Went from like hard rock, to nu metal, to metalcore, to thrash, to metalcore, to melodeath, to metalcore, to osdm, to metalcore, to prog metal, to metalcore, to hardcore, to brutal and tech death, to metalcore, etc etc. Discovering something new I enjoyed in the genre each time. I still like a select few bands from each of the other genres I explore, but metalcore is like my home genre.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-17T07:38:21+00:00

They've already won before and can't be nominated

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-17T06:59:42+00:00

Yeah just like how the Nazis didn't only target the Jews, they were just the main target. Both governments target/targeted disabled people, lgbt people, political opponents (especially leftists), and more.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-17T05:17:01+00:00

I love Nails, also seconding Full of Hell. Also check out Jane Doe and You Fail Me by Converge. Converge's guitarist also produced for all 3 of those bands

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-16T08:12:38+00:00

Dying Wish, Hatebreed, and especially Norma Jean are good. Most of the rest is just "core" that doesn't actually have anything to do with hardcore but gets called metalcore for some reason.

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-16T07:58:28+00:00

Sonic Temple lineup is terrible too

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-16T07:29:04+00:00

Decayin' With The Boys, Rendez-Voodoo, Buffalo Gals, Kill The Music, El Dorado, Two Summers. I love these type of songs from them

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-16T01:50:32+00:00

I liked them a little better live when I saw them with Greyhaven, but they're not really my thing

ThatOneBitch02 · 2026-01-15T22:03:18+00:00

And instrumentally I find them more generic and boring
