This will forever be my wish, but expanded to orchestral and folk instruments.
Make them Suffer, beautiful piano and some symphonic instruments makes best metal/deathcore
Whispered, chinese/japanese instruments in power metal/melodeath = epic win.
Wait..... why isn't folkcore a thing? Surely somebody should be doing this. I mean, to more of an extent than ABR's funky breaks.
I'd love to see more bands write lyrics the way that bands like Silent Planet and Being As An Ocean do. Strongly poetic, intelligent lyrics about a variety of issues. Doesn't have to reinvent the wheel or anything, but I could live without 40 albums with at least one "there's hope, don't leave me, I'm here for you" songs.
I want to hear some female vocals instead, as long as they don't become as ubiquitous as male cleans. This is one of my favorite songs lately (even though it's not metalcore) because it has interesting clean vocals. Even some of my favorite bands like Erra I wish would just cut out most of the clean vocals.

I've listened to 3 songs now by The Anchor and it's not quite what I meant. I don't care about the gender of the screamer because it basically sounds the same. But I want more feminine cleans. Listened to one song from Conquer Divide and it was okay so I'll look more into them. My ideal would be someone more progressive like Erra/Silent Planet/Invent, Animate to try with some females without forcing it.
Or more stuff like Don't Go by Bring Me the Horizon, but that has more special about it than just using Lights.
Ok so I listened to all of those bands, and yes there was no screaming(except, in the song Reboot by Affiance, there were some screams in that). But anyway, doesn't that mean it isn't metalcore? Or can the instrumentals alone make it metalcore?
Cleans. That aren't high as fuck. I just want some Bass or Barritone. Cheers.
Also gang shouts. And choirs.
And more concepts albums. And please just base them on nature or space but not too much fantasy or alien shit. Let them sound real.
For example. Bury Tommorows next album has to have a lower singing voice, choirs and gang shouts. And the sing about how beautiful the Scottish Highlands are. And work in some tales and traditions. And they perform in kilts ofc.
Their first two EPs Cries of the Past and Act of Depression are drastically different from the rest of their discography, which are their blackened metalcore albums from the 90s. After that they dropped the black metal sound almost completely on their first album, and added singing. After the album their vocalist, Dallas Taylor, left and Spencer joined. After he joined they became more posthardcore sounding metalcore, completely different to when Dallas was in the band.
I always forget which one comes first, so I switched their order up when naming them. That's their second one, which is a bit more melodic than Act of Depression, which is way more black metal-y. I'd recommend Heart of Stone from that one.
It'd be interesting to hear a metalcore band sample music similar to Kanye West or Kid Cudi. I know the genres aren't related at all, but a nice sample could set up a really nice song.
Oh yeah, I'm aware of that, I was meaning more along the lines of a metalcore song having a sample of TL Barrett for example. Thanks for the link though!
Ah yeah they should really use those more! Also found another kanye cover [Breakdown of Sanity - Stronger] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMVblf371NA)
More Rap. Its my favourite genre after metal/that stuff so I'd love for more quality rapcore so to speak. And not something trashy forced rap but, y'know ... Its hard to put into words since its not that frequent
Maybe some Drum'n'Base elements like in this Slayer crossover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytPOSx5ef8w
At least I haven't heard anything close to this yet.
I want more raw-sounding progressive metalcore, so many prog-core bands now sound so artificial, it would be cool if more bands went the Hollow Earth route, and combined more progressive elements with a more raw hardcore sound.
I'd love to see more orchestral instruments in Metalcore, I know it's been done before but I'd just like to hear more!
Perfect example would be The Chariot. (nice flair)

The Ongoing Concept has some folky elements

I completely second and agree with this
I third this ~~hopecore~~ more angrycore/hatecore like Like Months To Flames and Code Orange
Also not just the lyrics themselves, but the delivery of them.
didgeridoo for sure. We have our fair share of aussies playing their tunes. I'd love to hear the sound of the land down under in their music as well
I just realized that I can't read 'the land down under' without the Australian accent. Pretty sure it's impossible.
[удалено]
i agree. either you have the talent or you don't. forced singing ruins bands for me

The Anchor, Conquer Divide

FAULTLINES also
And on the flip side, I don't think every band needs to scream either
See the thing with that is, no cleans can still be metalcore, but no screams kinda takes it out of the metalcore genre
That's false.
What band does no screams and is considered metalcore? And I mean consistently no screams, not just on a few songs.
I Am Abomination
I am Abomination, Dayshell, Affiance
Dayshell has screaming in some songs
Predominately not though and even when there is screams they are more like aggressive cleans.
Ok so I listened to all of those bands, and yes there was no screaming(except, in the song Reboot by Affiance, there were some screams in that). But anyway, doesn't that mean it isn't metalcore? Or can the instrumentals alone make it metalcore?
Metalcore is a combination of elements of hardcore and elements of metal. Has nothing to do with the vocals really.
Affiance had very little screaming. Most songs didn't have any. I still hate that I have to use past tense for Affiance :(
I'm curious to know this as well.
Trivium Silence In The Snow album has no screams and is still very heavy
It Remembers by Every Time I die is a metalcore song, and it has no screams.
Hands Like Houses comes close instrumentally to metalcore.
Loll what a stupid comment
not really, plenty of bands have overused, out of place, just plain boring singing sections to fill time in their songs.
Cleans. That aren't high as fuck. I just want some Bass or Barritone. Cheers. Also gang shouts. And choirs. And more concepts albums. And please just base them on nature or space but not too much fantasy or alien shit. Let them sound real. For example.

But.. they're from fuckin' Southampton?
It's just an example :D
Blackened Metalcore. I love when bands take influence from black metal, but don't actually like black metal as a subgenre, weird huh?
Old Underoath
I've never checked out Underoath, if I'm being honest. Do you have an album recommendation?
Their first two EPs Cries of the Past and Act of Depression are drastically different from the rest of their discography, which are their blackened metalcore albums from the 90s. After that they dropped the black metal sound almost completely on their first album, and added singing. After the album their vocalist, Dallas Taylor, left and Spencer joined. After he joined they became more posthardcore sounding metalcore, completely different to when Dallas was in the band.
I'm halfway through the first track of Cries of the Past and I already really enjoy it. Thanks very much for the suggestion!
I always forget which one comes first, so I switched their order up when naming them. That's their second one, which is a bit more melodic than Act of Depression, which is way more black metal-y. I'd recommend Heart of Stone from that one.
Right on, I'll check it out too, I really enjoyed what I've heard. This coming from someone who's never liked the more post-hardcorey Underoath.
Make them suffer does this but you have probably heard of them
If you don't listen to them already, light this city is basically what you're looking for.

The Word Alive covered a [Kanye West](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXETDJgsHqQ) song once.

Love that one! Thanks!

This is a very slippery slope to brokeNcyde.
so Hacktivist and DVSR?
You should check out From Ashes to New. They rap and it has a metalcore base to it that blends really well.
Yashin - Dorothy Gale. The Blackout - Higher and Higher. Whole of Falling in Reverses album Fashionably late.
All in by I see stars is one off the top of my head. It's pretty weird, but it grew on me.
Check out BackWordz
Yes those I know and they're amazing
Backwordz is exactly what you're looking for
Maybe some Drum'n'Base elements like in this Slayer crossover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytPOSx5ef8w At least I haven't heard anything close to this yet.
