I've been listening since mid-2000 and I cannot stop. Saw them play early last year and they put on a hell of a show with Bad Omens and Underoath.

Turnstile, if you consider them hardcore.

No not even close. Also they're not hardcore.

I’m not a big fan but I want to see them perform. Maybe it’ll change my mind

Spiritbox one of my favorite bands out there right now. As far as vocals and unique riffs they are top notch. I would listen to Courtney sing the encyclopedia.

Of Mice & Men is probably my favorite true metalcore band.


ETA: Spiritbox new song "Jaded" is the best one they've put out since Circle with Me.

Turnstile is more hardcore, imo. Historically, I preferred metalcore to hardcore, but I feel like hardcore has better bands right now. Metalcore’s innovation is to either become hiphop, jazz, or pure unintelligible noise but with a Linkin Park chorus. Hardcore knows how to be fun. Turnstyle, Knocked Loose, Kublai Khan TX, Callous Dowbois, etc are all putting on incredibly fun shows right now.

I never know what these labels mean. Is Avenged Sevenfold metalcore? If so, there's your answer.

Great hardcore/post-hardcore album from 2021

Fiddlehead- Between the Richness

I like Turnstile, but I think this is even better

Good riffage and clean vocals, but once she goes into "Cookie Monster mode" I lose interest.

I like Spiritbox, but I wouldn't say they're the best metalcore band right now. There's a lot of good stuff out there right now, but my top spot goes to Fit For A King or Polaris. For me, they're 1a/1b and are the most complete bands right now.

Silent Planet dropped their new album Superbloom today. I've only had one listen through, but I really enjoyed it.

Ultraviolet >>>>> Jaded >> The Void > Cellar Door

Angel Eyes doesnt resonate with me but the scene kids love it.

Too Close / Too Far is kinda mid by Spiritbox bar setting.

I am a recent big fan of metal core, and dont think much of this band, though they do have good songs such as the new single.
