 | Ascendancy by Trivium
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £0.88 Simply a masterpiece. The set works and necessary purchase to define the best in 21st century metalcore. Beautiful singing, amazing guitar and bass work, and tight drumming. Perfect.
|
 | Ember to Inferno by Trivium
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £3.97 Necessary follow-up purchase. Almost as perfect as ascendancy.
|
 | The Blackening by Machine Head
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.69 Despite being extremely experimental, this album has turned out to be a contemporary classic. 10 minute songs?? I hear you ask in disbelief. When you listen to them, it feels like 2 :(
|
 | The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £6.82 Ah, the new future of metalcore if they keep it up. For a young band the songwriting is very good, and musically they are extremely capable. Deserves to be on Roadrunner.
|
 | The Poison by Bullet for My Valentine
Buy used from: £2.47 Welsh metalcore at its best! For a 'first' album, it is invaluable to a metal collection. It is more 'pop' than others, very sing-along and a very strong effort.
|
 | An Ocean Between Us (Ltd. Box) by As I Lay Dying
Buy new: £12.67 An amazing latest album from the mighty As I Lay Dying. This is another definitive band in the genre, and this album, despite being slightly different to earlier efforts, is a pleasure to listen to.
|
 | Frail Words Collapse by As I Lay Dying
Buy used from: £6.49 And an earlier release. Much more brutal, and simply suberb live, this is a metalcore album on the slightly heavier side that is a necessity.
|
 | Natural Born Chaos by Soilwork
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £5.39 Very strong, particularly the first track 'Follow the Hollow'. Not for beginners however, as it is slightly heavier than most metalcore having just dropped of the melodic death metal lorry.
