I'm looking for some new music to buy on Itunes. When I'm working out at the gym it helps when I'm listenning to some of the harder tracks I own so I'll list some bands (warning, some are a bit emo) and I'm looking for some suggestions on others bands or albums by the bands listed that have been released in the past year or so.

Thrice
Atreyu
Biffy Clyro
Bullet for my Valentine
Coheed and Cambria
He is Legend
Thursday
Unearth

Cheers!

    I haven't listened to hardcore in probably over a year, but those are the bands that I dig enough to keep in my library.

    In order of my preference. YMMV.

    Protest The Hero
    The Fall Of Troy
    Mastodon
    Enter Shikari
    Bring Me The Horizon
    American Me
    Cancer Bats
    Trivium (to a certain degree)

    Most of my library is heavier stuff than that, but they should be ok for what you're looking for (hardcore/metalcore).

    If you're looking for something heavier then those you should make sure you've tried all the essential 80's trash like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Sepultura, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Kreator and Judas Priest.

    Hopesfall. EARLY Hopesfall.


    One of the few hardcore bands I like. Most hardcore I don't like, because I get bored of standard song structures quickly. Hopesfall did some more interesting stuff though, early on.

    Also second on I Killed the Prom Queen. I like the old singer with the irritating screechy voice. I don't know why. I just do.

    I would recommend that you sample something from each of the following. This is what I listen to when I hit the gym, and it transforms me into an angry machine.

    So-called Groove Metal:
    Lamb of God ("Forgotten (Lost Angels)")
    Devil Driver

    Technical Death:
    Arsis ("The Sadistic Motives Behind Bereavement Letters")
    Psycroptic

    Death:
    Arch Enemy ("Rise of the Tyrant")
    In Flames

    Static-X also has some great workout songs.

    Modern Life Is War- these guys broke up recently. fucking amazing melodic hardcore. Their best song is easily DEADRAMONES. The Black Flag of our generation.

    Ceremony- Best hardcore punk band alive. Absolutely phenomenal no matter which album you pick. Listen to Violence Violence then get Still Nothing Moves You. They're out of California and relatively obscure but Davey Havok covered Straight Edge Revenge by Project X with them at a local show last November. I cannot recommend them enough.

    Versus- Political hardcore. Just broke up. So fucking good.

    Sabertooth Zombie- Local California band. I have never heard a band like this in my life. So much power and energy in their songs.

    Trash Talk- Awesome hardcore.

    HeWhoCorrupts- Political grindcore. Crazy, mind blowing shit.

    Necrophagist- 90s death metal but still some of the most intense music I've heard.

    I'm more of a hardcore punk rock guy.

    Well, it is Heavy Metal but I would heartily recommend Black Sabbath. Dehumanizer in particular is a fantastic album, though it is a bit on the GRIMDARK side.

    Probably my favourite album by them. Even though its very dark, it's still catchy enough to singalong to.

    Painkiller by Judas Priest is a must own. Videos in the spoilers.

    Metallica's Ride the lightning and Master of Puppets are staple thrash metal albums.

    Megadeth's Rust in Peace is probably the best thrash album I've heard and I would highly recommend it along with Peace sells and Countdown to Extinction.

    Not really a big hardcore fan, so I can't really recommend anything.

    seriously, check these guys out. They started doing the metalcore scene, which seems to be what you're looking for, but their debut album moved a bit away from it and is excellent.

    Children of Bodom
    A lot of metalheads will look down on you for liking them, but they are one of my favorite bands ever.

    Nile.
    Awesome technical death metal.

    There's a lot of stuff out there dude. Metal is one of the most diverse genres out there.

    I don't care what anyone says either. They are amazing live. I saw them at the Ogden in Denver back in December, and it was epic. Turisas played before them, and they were amazing too. Dragonforce was spot on, didn't miss a note. It was one of the best show's I've been to.

    Actually, Iron Maiden is another excellent Heavy Metal band that is definitely worth checking out. Though some of their songs tend to meander into boring 5 minute power solos that don't go anywhere, their good stuff is mind blowing.

    I don't think anyone recommended Testament.

    Most of the other bigger bands I would have recommended have already been recommended, so here's a couple of up and coming fucking awesome metal bands.
    Body of Scars - Unless they've updated the page in the last couple of days, the first two tracks they have available are currently just raw recordings and have no bass player, but they are still good.

    Vindicator - up and coming thrash band. These guys are hit or miss for me as I don't always care for the singer, but there's some kick ass rocking going on, too.

    Guys, seriously, black metal and grindcore != metalcore. Chances are that the OP is going to hate most of the recommendations in this thread because most people tend not to go from Atreyu to fucking black metal.

    Most of this thread is like me saying I like Metallica and then people recommending that I go listen to Burzum :|
