Evolution of Melodic Metalcore (1994-2023)

[@codexnecro666]

This playlist feels like it should have started with Carcass - Heartwork in 1993. It was more that feel of a list

[@xangrycatmanx5104]

They're more melodeath than melodic metalcore

[@ChainsawSlammer1.3.8]

Agree

[@GreatBeardofWisdom]

I used to know The Dead Lay Waiting. Went to school with their drummer, and went to college with one of the guitarists (second from the right and second from the left respectively). Interesting to see them in a video like this.

[@jamrhein2]

Love to see It Dies Today pop up anywhere so pumped they're back.

[@lebarak69]

2011-12 feels like a huge change in sound

[@c4ss1a]

i love these videos sm

[@RibeiroGames12]

can u make a evolution of progressive metalcore? From Nostromo and Between the burial and me to Currrents and After The Burial. Amazing job! Overall i would add Strongarm, Shai Hulud, Poison The Well as well for the list. Maybe even Overcast (they aren't necessarily melodic, but the clean singing was so ahead of its time, definitely influenced KsE and Shadowfall)

Something tells me you’re from SFL with the elegy and drawing last breath picks

DLB called it quits way too soon

[@kingbeheaded6341]

Overall great video, though funnily enough Dead Blue Sky isn't melodic metalcore, just melodeath and don't have any breakdowns or "mosh structure" but they made the cut for the metalcore crowd so to speak. Wouldn't consider Darkest Hour metalcore either beyond the early EPs, they just got thrashy and used skank beats.

Bro please make Spotify playlists for all your videos

Can you do evolution of Death metal?

[@althebutterflyaffect]

KSE? Early BFMV? August Burns Red? At least, As Blood Runs Black?

[@legoeater6920]

I always thought as blood runs black was more deathcore

[@cigarettecat3981]

shut up and listen to poison the well

[@josejesushernandezbustillo9139]

2:05 remind anyone else of “More of Myself To Kill” by BTBAM?

[@juliogonzalez2880]

Two members of undying are from BTBAM!

[@ericnowak9497]

@@juliogonzalez2880Really?? I know Paul and Tommy were in Prayer for Cleansing, who was in Undying?

[@rossstokes2487]

Actually, though they often helped each other out by filling in in each other’s bands, because they were NC metal and played a lot together, no one in undying, went on to BTBAM. They were great to see together though

[@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844]

Where is Misery Signals?!?!?!

[@erko948]

okay i wanna know what genre is killswitch, as i lay dying, bfmv etc then

[@mayorofjoliet]

Versus the bands in the video that have really clear similarity to swedish melodic death metal, those bands are arguably closer to hard rock. Listen to At The Gates, and then listen to 90s Metallica, and you'll see.

[@RibeiroGames12]

melodic metalcore as well. but they arent really breakdown festivals, so i guess its also okay to loop them with In Flames and Edge of Sanity

[@CsRj2854]

a mix of Hard Rock and Melodic Metalcore

[@Yeomannn]

There is a lot of In Flames influence in Killswitch. The Clayman album is basically the skeleton of the first few Killswitch albums.

[@kirisutegomen12]

Same genre just different sound

[@3XPYRE]

who the fuck are all those bands after 2010, you missed a whole chunk of actual melodic metalcore bands

[@cigarettecat3981]

balmora is probably better than all of those bands

[@mayorofjoliet]

State Craft riff sounds like a Hatebreed riff

[@RibeiroGames12]

which sounds like a slayer riff

[@louismassey4371]

Barrit killed man.....

[@thehalfandhalfkid4946]

where is as i lay dying

[@_serpent]

None of those bands actually contributed to evolution of melodic metalcore. Also, no Cave In? :/ Darkest Hour yes, but nothing before Undoing Ruin

[@lemmeteluboutaplayer]

Can y’all stop with these rateyourmusic ass list videos? First band isn’t even metalcore, State Craft wasn’t melodeathy until the next year and Dead Blue Sky is like melodeath/black. Stop trusting charts and start actually listening.

[@hereticdeth7986]

@lemmeteluboutaplayer but album from leukamia is proto melodic metalcore

[@lemmeteluboutaplayer]

@@hereticdeth7986 that shit sounds like a band mixing Death, Pantera and At The Gates. That’s not proto anything, it’s just a combination of everything popular during the 90s.

[@MichaelJohnEdward-dt2od]

Man, you're wrong, those bands are melodic metalcore, theyre 1st wave of melodic metalcore,state craft is considered also because it's a kind of edge metal with some melodic riffs like poison the well, Leukemia although is more metal oriented it's a proto melodic metalcore look some their reviews, try research before start to missinterprent the genre

[@lemmeteluboutaplayer]

@@MichaelJohnEdward-dt2od lost brain cells reading your reply. “Research” LMAO what research? People are trusting an unreliable website. A website that has deathcore starting in 1991 by an osdm band. You people are too gullible, I swear.

[@miklossalanki2435]

Counterparts?

[@hereticdeth7986]

counterparts is more melodic hardcore influence than melodeath

[@RibeiroGames12]

@@hereticdeth7986 still melodic metalcore imo. just a different brand of melodic metalcore like PTW, Misery Signals, 7A7P, etc

а где At the GATES???

[@Ramble1234]

They are melodic death metal

[@ivanivan6759]

@@Ramble1234 imho they were very influencing. MDM+Metalcore (proto-deathcore?) Anyway you are probably right...

[@Ramble1234]

@@ivanivan6759 oh yea definitely super influential, but I think that's kinda it. Just because they are influential to Metalcore doesn't mean that they are.
