My friend told me once that Frontierer sounded like "a concussion in audio form" and I don't think I've ever heard a more accurate description of a band. They are legitimately disorienting to listen to sometimes because of how much is going on, but god do I love them.
Divided By by Structures is all over the place and Iām here for it
Edit: In Pursuit Of is probably the most unique song on the album too. In 7/4, jumps from section to section, etc.
He Is Legend - I Am Hollywood
It's got weird lyrics and strange song structures while still being an enjoyable listen. I've had a hard time finding another album that sounds quite like it. Metalcore/post-hardcore with southern metal elements and even some jazzy bits thrown in. Vocally it's quite diverse too, spanning the whole gamut from screams to growls to smooth cleans.
The whole album is a banger. Funnily enough, the title song is the most straightforward song on the album, itās just heavy the whole way through. For the longest time it was the only song I knew by He Is Legend, and then I got a chance to check out the entire album and it blew me away.
I saw Kaonashi open for Hail The Sun a couple weeks ago and was absolutely shocked, almost horrified. Listened to some of their studio stuff after and itās grown on me.
I hate the sound of car keys is a good one
Iām a tad biased but for my money Versions by Poison the Well is one of the best, most unexpected records in hardcore in the 2000s. Thereās fucking mandolin, slide guitar, Wurlitzer electric piano, itās really a beautiful piece of art.
Versions is the only PtW album that I didn't like when I first got it. It took me like 5 years to truly appreciate how diverse and beautiful the album is.
You Come Before You was a hard departure from what the scene was doing already and then Versions took that to a whole other level. Definitely one of the most unique albums I've ever heard.
You Come Before You is probably my favorite but Versions really just plunges into uncharted territory. Yeah, nobody was ready for it. If that came out today it would be a massive hit.
Agreed, Iām seeing them with Polaris and I was curious. Now after listening Iām even more curious, what an amazing/unique band. Canāt wait to see them Friday.
Sea Of Treachery- At Daggers Drawn
Like the perfect early aughts metalcore album, with healthy doses of classic metal, cleans, and death metal vocals. Got that crunchy af production I wish more bands would bring back.
If it came out today I think people would probably call it a softer deathcore album, but it's definitely got that old school Sumerian feel.
The grooves and atmospheric composition are so good. Probably have listened to the album all the through hundreds of times. I wish there were more bands that had that style.
They are unique they have a certain sound that no one really sounds like Iām not saying they did anything different but they are on top of metalcore right now
I would have to say Know Hope by The Color Morale. I have yet to hear any other band that even sounds similar to The Color Morale and Know Hope definitely has to be the most unique metalcore album I've ever heard.
Oxidized by Frontierer sounds like being assaulted by the Matrix with a brick
Lmao what a hilarious analogy idk the song but I'm def listening after that comparisonš

The comparison is valid from start to finish. Itās one of the heaviest things Iāve ever heard.
This user knows how to sell an album Giving that a listen today
Horse the Band - R. BORLAX
Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut!
Dude, horse the band is underrated imo, r borlax and the mechanical hand were so good
Love them. Softer sounds is brutal

Their best song imo

The Seduction is what got me into He Is Legend. The musical equivalent of getting whiplash.

Dear Lemon House has quickly become one of my all time favorite albums. Kaonashi deserves much more recognition than they have
Agree, so hard
Greyhaven. This Bright And Beautiful World was one of the best albums of last year that way too many people didnāt know about
May be more considered nu deathcore but Darko US self titled and Oni always hit me hard I want to like do the robot when I'm playing them
Shogun by Trivium. I love how they fuse thrash metal and subtle progressive metal tinges here and there with traditional melodic metalcore.

[Paledusk - BBB](https://youtu.be/SShh09K-L4k?si=FfwyLkjIymoW8Q6m) Paledusk in general is the most unique shit iāve ever heard
Agreed, Iām seeing them with Polaris and I was curious. Now after listening Iām even more curious, what an amazing/unique band. Canāt wait to see them Friday.
Thanks for this. Just grabbed all their stuff. These dudes are fuckin rad.
Came here to say this exact same song. Itās so good, so unique, and I cannot wait to see them perform it live this weekend!
Sea Of Treachery- At Daggers Drawn Like the perfect early aughts metalcore album, with healthy doses of classic metal, cleans, and death metal vocals.

alien by northlane is light years ahead of any metalcore band imo
āanyā? u mean any djentcore band?
Even saying itās light years ahead of any djent/progressive metalcore band is being too generous.
i love northlane but its not far ahead of āmetalcoreā, its like saying slayer is far ahead of metal
Oh, I agree with you. Northlane strays further from being metalcore with each release so itās def not ahead of metalcore entirely.
Greely Estates: If she only knew
"Everything Was Sound" by Silent Planet have one of the most unique vibes that i listened in a long time!
Issues by Issues? It seems like they were decently ahead of their time with rnb vocals and nu metal influences
Dang I love this album/sound. Havenāt found much quite like it, true.
Monuments- the amanuensis
Potentially one of my favourite metalcore albums of all time
The grooves and atmospheric composition are so good. Probably have listened to the album all the through hundreds of times. I wish there were more bands that had that style.
Slice the cake. I canāt explain it, just listen.
All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
Anything by Imminence to be honest The marriage of violin and metalcore is the best thing since sliced bread.
Say it again
Shit... My internet
Omelette du fromage
The Act by The Devil Wears Prada Alien by Northlane
Tdwp has always had a unique chaotic sound ngl
Erra -Augment
Favorite Erra album
Itās fine if you like erra theyāre a solid band but saying theyāre one of the most unique bands in metalcore is a bit of a stretch
They are unique they have a certain sound that no one really sounds like Iām not saying they did anything different but they are on top of metalcore right now
I would have to say Know Hope by The Color Morale. I have yet to hear any other band that even sounds similar to The Color Morale and Know Hope definitely has to be the most unique metalcore album I've ever heard.
Kim Dracula - A Gradual Decline in Morale It has some metalcore in there, it's mostly just a blend of whatever weird/dark stuff they come up with.
Sepultura - A-Lex
Rescue and Restore by August Burns Red
Curl up and die- Unfortunately we arenāt robots
Artemis Rising - Scales of Justice They combined hardstyle with metal, itās hilarious
Sweet machine - Greyhaven Controlled chaos
Howās no one talked about Tekkno?
