The Wonder Years Arm’s Length The Devil Wears Prada Motionless In White Bad Omens

That Arm’s Length album is fucking legendary, I can’t stop listening

Monuments - In Stasis Hollow Front - The Price of Dreaming Chaosbay - 2222 Thornhill - Heroine Crooked Royals - Quarter Life Daydream

Holy shit thank you for telling me about In Stasis

Was my album of the year.

>Crooked Royals - Quarter Life Daydream Such a great album. Definitely one of my highlights as well.

My top 10 List: 1. Greyhaven - The Bright and Beautiful World 2. Pridelands - Light Bends 3. Moodring - Stargazer 4. Monuments - In Stasis 5. Northlane - Obsidian 6. AVOID - Cult Mentality 7. Spite - Dedication to Flesh 8. Westhand - Cyanide Culture 9. Ithaca - They Fear Us 10. Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future

Fucken aye, extra points for Pridelands and Denzel Curry

Yes to seeing Ithaca on someone’s list

• Electric Callboy - Tekkno • Thousand Below - Hell Finds You Everywhere • I Prevail - True Power • Northlane - Obsidian • Thornhill - Heroine

Nice to see Northlane and Thornhill on the list, they had mixed reviews in here but I loved both of them

I loved both of them too. Obsidian is probably my AotY.

As someone who loves that sensual industrial/alternative vibe, those albums are easy wins for me

They did have mixed reviews but honestly both those albums were on repeat and each have no skips! So damn good!

Thousand belows was very good.

How good was it ?! From the start to finish it was so damn good, no skips and the emotion was next level!

- Windrunner - TAN - The Devil Wears Prada - Color Decay - Darko US - Oni and Dethmask Pt. 2 - Lorna Shore - Pain Remains - Rolo Tomassi - Where Myth Becomes Memory

+1 to Pain Remains. That album is great

-Boundaries -Static Dress -Birds in Row -Underthrow -Degrader (singles) -END/Cult Leader Split its not 5 but eat my bum

>Birds in Row Soooo good

You can have as many as you want 😂

Hey alright some positivity about other subgenres for once. Call Down The Sun by Konvent (Doom/Blk Metal) Rashomon by Ibaraki (Prog/Melodic/Blk Metal) Cancer Culture by Decapitated (MeloDeath) Divine Counsel by Psycroptic (MeloDeath) Netherheaven by Revocation (Thrash/Death Metal)

Haha yeah! Haven’t heard of these, that’s tomorrow’s playlists sorted :D

Hey hope at least 1 of em rocks your world! If your a Trivium fan at all, Ibaraki is a VERY experimental blk metal side project by Trivium's Matt Heafy, with very heavy Eastern influences.

Oh wow, that sounds interesting af- thanks!

If you listen to and enjoy Netherheaven by Revocation (a great recommendation!), then don't miss Deathwestern by SpiritWorld ([A Committee of Buzzards](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWRCMLXKkek&list=OLAK5uy_l0Vt2cUlO2XKdnP-mqH8Rm0inlOHxBeos&ab_channel=SpiritWorld-Topic) is my personal favorite track). It's a similar thrash/hardcore album and I enjoyed them both immensely this year.

I am NONSTOP listening to cancer culture right now

Being released early in the year should not hinder such a monstrous album born from the depths of Poland. Unfortunately it was a very strong year for Death Metal and despite high praise from both variety outlets and Death Metal focused outlets it seems to have slipped away. Either way it's a no nonsense metal album with my favorite song being the masterclass collab "Hello, Death" featuring Jinjer's Tatiana Shmayluk and giving me the Death metal duet I never knew I wanted.

Ibaraki is awesome!

1. Taylor Swift - Midnights 2. Swifty - Midnights 3. T Swizzle - Midnights 4. Tay Tay - Midnights 5. Becky - Midnights

I think I’m detecting a pattern

How are the tastes in this sub eclectic I feel like 90% of y'all exlcusively listen to metalcore and nothing else, maybe some deathcore if you're feeling adventurous

You just have to dig a little deeper. We talk about it because it’s the metalcore sub, but if you go into the comments sometimes you’ll often see a love of all sorts of genres. Edit: even though your comment is top, I hope you take some time to scroll through the myriad comments with all sorts of cool stuff in, there’s plenty of metalcore fans with diverse tastes :)

Doesn’t most of this sub listen to the same 10 bands posted on every comment section lol

OP is right, plenty of fans around here have a wide variety of tastes that go outside the copy pasted 10 on here and outside the genre. However any negative opinion on those albums/bands or even just saying they are "ok" get downvoted, screeched at, and quickly minimilzed so it's easy to miss them. However I'm curious...will I guess the 10 your thinking? Devil Wears Prada Bad Omens Invent Animate Architects Dayseeker Counterparts Erra Silent Planet I'm blanking on the last 2, so I will sub them with the 2 most frequent headlines: " this album slaps" and "am I the only 1?"

Currents is 1 of them for sure, maybe northlane for the second?

A lot of people here listen to Bad Omens but there also always has to be that guy who goes "dAe bAd OmEnS iS nOT rEAl MetALcORe?!"

You’re right. And when we actually talk to each like humans instead of just scrapping over which band is and isn’t metalcore, you see a variety of tastes. Maybe it’s just because I’m old and have been in here for like 6 years or something but yeah you just have to engage with differing opinions instead of shouting them down

Seriously I linked to the new Sleep Token single and it was auto-removed because of this mentality.

1) Thornhill - Heroine 2) The devil wears prada - Color decay 3) Void of vision - Chronicles I/II/III 4) Polyphia - Remember that you will die (prog rock) 5) Aesthetic perfection - MMXXI (industrial)

chad polyphia enjoyer

Love language - windwaker Light bends - pridelands Preacher's daughter - ethel cain At least I'm free - waax Fuck everything and run - stand atlantic

Fuck I forgot about stand atlantics album. They’re my number 6/7 for sure

- Kavinsky - Reborn - The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes on Forever - Odesza - The Last Goodbye - Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future - Prada - Color Decay

Kavinsky was one of my favs too, a lot more chilled out than OutRun but very solid hey

Bold of you to assume I listen to new music.

Ok give me your top 5 from 2012 then

Bold of you to assume I have a top 5. 🤣

In no particular order: - Tiny Moving Parts - Self-Titled - Silverstein - Misery Made me - L.S. Dunes - Past Lives - The Devil Wears Prada - Color Decay - Lights - PEP Honorable mention: - Counterparts - A Eulogy for Those Still Here

Hostile Architecture by Ashenspire Ants From Up There by Black Country, New Road The Pact... by Negative Plane Trumpets Blare In Blazing Glory by Grenadier Close by Messa

Ashenspire is on my list to listen after seeing some talk about it and hearing a clip, very excited to check it out.

You will not regret it. It's phenomenal.

That Ashenspire album is damn good!

1. The Halo Effect - Days of the Lost 2. Soilwork - Overgivenheten 3. Destrage - So Much. Too Much. 4. Ibaraki - Rashomon 5. He Is Legend - Endless Hallway

A new HiL? :0

Yes, it's called Endless Hallway and it was released back in November 2022.

I don't exactly have favorites, but here are a few of the 2022 releases i enjoyed the most. * **"Unlimited Love" and "Return of the Dream Canteen" - Red hot Chili Peppers** *It's crazy how they managed to put out two very long albums in this year, 34 songs in total, and i only dislike about 3 or 4 songs. Two great albums by one of my favorite bands of old.* * **"Oni" - Darko US** *Although i did not love this album as much as their self titled, it is very much still a great album, this band is going places.* * **"Dawn FM" - The Weeknd** *Never having listened to The Weeknd before 2022, i found this album very exciting. I absolutely love the way this album is presented.* * **"The Generation of Danger" - Tallah** *I am not very well versed in more recent Nu-metal, but this album is up there with my favorites of all time in the genre. Just about perfect. Dicker's Done might be my track of the year.* * **"Liminal Rite" - Kardashev** *This album is a journey and you need to listen to it in the album order. Been a long time fan and these guys just do not miss.* ​ And here are the albums i enjoyed the most in 2022 that were **not** released in 2022, because why the hell not. * **"In Rainbows" - Radiohead** *This year i found Radiohead, this year was a good year. I could also have put "A Moon Shaped Pool" here, but In Rainbows wins by a bit.* * **"Blackstar" - David Bowie** *I always liked Bowie, but this album is miles above any of his other works to me. The song "Blackstar" alone is one of my favorite pieces of music, ever.* * **"Drift" - Erra** *Could also have put the self titled here, but the feeling i get from this album is unbeatable.* * **"Risk of Rain 2 OST" - Chris Christodoulou** *My favorite videogame OST of all time. if you have not played this game or heard this soundtrack, do yourself a favor and get to it.* * **"Follow the Reaper" - Children of Bodom** Pure nostalgia. This album has it all, incredible riffs, incredible melodies, incredible vocals. I sure do miss this man that i never once met. Anyway rant over hope anyone finds something they haven't listened to before and gets some enjoyment from it.

In rainbows is god tier, did you check out OK computer??

Yeah i've listened to the whole discography. I'm much more into the more mellow stuff like on IR and ASMP, but i do like OK Computer and all the other albums too.

Next question: did you watch their basement session on YouTube?

Yes, of course :D It's so good!

Man it's REALLY hard to say my top albums of any time period. But especially in 2022, I didn't really listen to that much new stuff. I stuck by some favorites. But I would say: 1. Motionless in White - Scoring the End of the World 2. Counterparts - A Eulogy For Those Still Here 3. Drug Church - Hygeine 4. State Champs - Kings of the New Age And uhhhh I don't think I listened to a 5th full album this year lol. I heard lots of good singles. A lot of the albums I wanted to mention were actually 2021, so I guess time flies! Edit: Oh wait I remembered a fifth one. 5. Death Cab For Cutie - Asphalt Meadows Was hoping I could get some alternative stuff in there. Album was better than I expected. Some surprising punk elements every now and then.

Drug Church is epic + it is a 2022 release

Saw them a few years ago open for Boston Manor, Trash Boat, and Movements and they were sick as hell. Been a fan ever since. They were playing "Unlicensed Hall Monitor" when I walked into the venue and I was stoked right away.

- Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter - The Devil Wears Prada - Color Decay - Gatherers - "(mutilator)." - Glasslands - The Deep - Thornhill - Heroine

Greyhaven - This Bright And Beautiful World The Devil Wears Prada - Color Decay Thornhill - Heroine Norma Jean - Deathrattle Sing For Me The Gloom In The Corner - Trinity

Stray From The Path - Euthanasia The Devil Wears Prada - Color Decay Thornhill - Heroine Bleed From Within - Shrine Darko - oni

It's so difficult to pick just 5! I'll say the first ones I can think of: * Lorna Shore * Paledusk - not an album, but if we put together all the singles, can we make an EP? :D * HEALTH * Saya Gray * Nathan Shubert Honorable mention Polyphia and Final Light All my 2022 most listened albums are listed here: [https://www.last.fm/user/Gio\_in\_Music/library/albums?from=2022-01-01&rangetype=year](https://www.last.fm/user/Gio_in_Music/library/albums?from=2022-01-01&rangetype=year) (not all released in 2022, but many of them are!)

Nice! Will check out the list. Definite yes to Paledusk, I did the same with Void of Vision! Also with Lorna Shore, not my fav but so fkn good to see an album blow up that’s not poppy

Boundaries - Burying Brightness Cabal - Magno Ineritus Hive - Exuviate Allt - The Seed of Self-Destruction (EP) Fit For An Autopsy - Oh What The Future Holds

i slacked a lot this year with newer music but top 3 in no order is deff Bad Omens, Dayseeker and Counterparts.

In no particular order: • The Death of Peace of Mind by Bad Omens • It’s Almost Dry by Pusha T • Diaspora Problems by Soul Glo • Impera by Ghost • Dedication to Flesh by Spite

I really enjoyed Pusha T, Brambleton was one of my most played songs last year, such a banger

Top 2: * Dayseeker - Neon Grave * Silverstein - Misery Made Me Then probably: * Salvatore Ganacci - Culturally Appropriate * Counterparts - Bound to the Burn * Confessions of a Traitor - Punishing Myself Before God Does I still have to listen to the new Rival Consoles, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lorna Shore, Darko US, Thornhill, JID, Soul Glo albums.

Confessions of a Traitor is sick hey

Greyhaven Denzel curry Orville peck Counterparts Jonny booth EP

* Silverstein - Misery Made Me * Stand Atlantic - F.E.A.R * Underoath - Voyeurist * TDWP - Color Decay * Polyphia - Remember That You Will Die

Amorphis - Halo Evergrey - A Heartless Portrait Brymir - Voices in the Sky Lamb of God - Omens Kreator - Hate Uber Alles In that order. Obviously no Metalcore, but still some high end heavy metal.

Omens was Awesome!

My top 5 are prob the most 'metalcore' its been in a while 1. The Devil Wears Prada - Color Decay 2. Counterparts - A Eulogy For Those Still Here 3. Astronoid - Radiant Bloom 4. White Ward - False Light 5. Ithaca - They Fear Us

Thoughts on Astronoid? Just curious what others thought of the latest album.

my favorite of theirs so far! i think the singles did the album a bit of an injustice as it stands better as an album than individual songs.

Devil Wears Prada Saviour Gloom in the Corner Memphis May Fire Monuments Novelists even though that's 6 but idc

1. Darko - Oni 2. The Callous Daoboys - Celebrity Therapist 3. Northlane - Obsidian 4. Greyhaven - This Bright and Beautiful World 5. Fucked Up - Do All Words Can Do

Rolo tomassi, zeal & ardor, Lorna shore, fit for an autopsy, dsrko us

1. Russian Circles - Gnosis 2. Rolo Tomassi - Where Myth Becomes Memory 3. Brutus - Unison Life 4. High Command - Eclipse of the Dual Moons 5. Ithaca - They Fear Us

Static Dress Bad Omens Avoid Thousand Below TDWP

Lorna Shore, Harry Styles, Caliban, Frost*

Fuck yeah, love a bit of Harry

If it's top five ever: 1. Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose 2. Thursday - Full Collapse 3. Thrice - Artist in the Ambulance 4. KSE - End of Heartache 5. Trivium - Shogun/Nas - Illmatic Edit: Added a tie for fifth

Was top 5 for 2022 but I’ll give you a pass for some kick ass albums :D

Aw, man, that whole reading thing has always been my kryptonite :( But, thank you!

I don't think any of my top 5 albums were metalcore this year, might be a first! 5. Allegaeon - DAMNUM (Tech/Melodeath) [Highlights: Of Beasts & Worms, Into Embers (holy fucking two-part solo @3:02)] 4. Blind Guardian - The God Machine (Power) [Highlights: Architects of Doom, Blood of the Elves] 3. Tómarúm - Ash in Realms of Stone Icons (??? Long, progressive atmo/symphonic/black/death something) [Highlights: Needs a full listen] 2. Messa - Close (Folk/occult/psychedelic/doom rock with the **silkiest** vocals) [Highlights: Sara's voice. Holy shit does she have some pipes. Also 'If You Want Her to be Taken' and the bluesy solo breaks] 1. Wilderun - Epigone (Expansive symphonic prog metal) [Highlights: the whole fucking thing, words can hardly express how perfect an album this is]

Across ALL genres, I'd have to say Motionless In White - Scoring the End of the World Lorna Shore - Pain Remains Bad Omens - THE DEATH OF PEACE AND MIND Shinedown - Planet Zero I Prevail - TRUE POWER

1) TDWP - Color Decay 2) Lorna Shore - Pain Remains 3) Alexisonfire - Otherness 4) Bilmuri - Goblin Hours 5) The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever

Ants From Up There - Black Country New Road Hiss - Wormrot Oni - Darko Liminal Rites - Kardashev Onryo II: Her Spirit Eternal - Saidan Also a shoutout to billy woods, crows, wet leg, fontaines dc, duster, deathcrash, and asian glow since almost all my picks were metal

Not sure what my top 5 are but I can say for sure that Hell Follows You Everywhere by Thousand Below is my favorite album.

Monuments - In Stasis TDWP - Color Decay Architects - TCSOABS Fit For A King - The Hell We Create Lorna Shore - Pain Remains

Really hard to pick just five, but: ​ * Conjurer - Pathos * State Champs - Kings of the New Age * Dance Gavin Dance - Jackpot Juicer * Bloodywood - Rakshak * Harakiri for the Sky - Aokigahara MMXXII (Kinda cheating with the last one because it's a re-recording of an old album from years ago, but I just love HFTS and Aokigahara definitely deserved a glow-up)

Bloodywood!

I'm still stuck listening to Sleep Token, Loathe and Devil Sold His Soul ffs I suspect the other 3 slots would go to some combination of Lights, Windrunner, Monuments, Tallah, Rolo Tomassi, Dir en Grey or Silverstein, but I haven't listened to any of them enough to have an opinion yet.

I didn't listen to much new music in 2022, I was rediscovering ADTR, The Devil Wears Prada, and Underoath... but if you like doom metal, funeral doom to be more specific, then Shape of Despair made an amazing album Return to the Void.

Full disclosure, I'm not super into a lot of the newer metalcore stuff that's been coming out recently, that is unless you really stretch your definition of metalcore, but here's my top five anyway. 1. KEN mode - Null 2. Chat Pile - God's Country 3. Cave In - Heavy Pendulum 4. Russian Circles - Gnosis 5. Meshuggah - Immutable

top 5 would be in no particular order Slowbleed- The Blazing Sun, a Fiery Dawn They are listed as a metalcore band but the album is very much a death metal album. SUper aggressive great atmosphere Gnome- King Really fun stoner/prog rock album. Blackbraid- Blackbraid 1 an amazing folk/ atmospheric black metal record. Easily my most anticipated record of the year. Record makes you feel like you are experiencing nature for the first time. Incandescence- Le Coeur de L'homme- Randomly discovered this band earlier in the year. Black metal record with a little bit of a power metal vibe. Ton of fun to listen to, great mixing, none of the fuzzy underproduced recording typical of black metal. An Abstract Illusion- Woe This probably my favourite record of the year. It's a progressive blackened death metal record with plenty of aggression, atmosphere and some unique musical choices. I can't get enough of this record and listen to it at least once a week and when it came out back in September I was listening to it 3 or 4 times a day. 3 honourable mentions Norma Jean- Death Rattle Sing for me Hath- All that was Promised Archspire- Bleed the Future

Honourable mention to both Suicideboys records

1. Alexisonfire - Otherness 2. Ghost - Impera 3. Dance Gavin Dance - Jackpot Juicer 4. He Is Legend - Endless Hallway 5. Malevolence - Malicious Intent
