94.Corporate Rock Genre (Metalcore/screamo) No Escape Planet Earth, era Modern

When I originally did this thread their was some concern that I added Killswitch Engage to the list, and while I still stand by adding Parkway Drive to the top 10, I must concer with the general consesus that these genres are suck!

Basically they're just watered down versions of punk & metal that are made safe for the mainstream, and while it didn't so much bother me when emocore was getting labelled as metal, my head almost exploded in a furry of rage the other day, when I saw that the record labels were trying to pass off Asking Alexandra as post hardcore!!!

That being said, record companies aren't stupid, their A&R guys are pretty good at out scouting at the talent, so here is some of my candy coated favs.

Bullet for My Valentine Genre (Metalcore) Wales, Uk, era Modern

Waking The Demon

All These Things I Hate

Black Veil Brides Genre (Screamo/Glam metal) California UK, era Modern

I had previously posted this song by the Towers of London, it's a shake n bake of Billy Idol, Motley Crue & Bon Jovi, and a huge commercial success. Sorry but I this song is absolutely brilliant & were due for a glam metal revival!

In the End

We Came As Romans Genre (Screamo) Michigan USA, era Modern

I don't pay much attention to top 40 music, so I don't know how popular these guys are, but I can see this song being played on a show like Vampire Diaries.

Hope

94. Killswitch Engage Genre (Metalcore) Massachusetts USA, era Modern

Probably the most successful metalcore band on the market, largely thanks to Howard Jones, one of the best vocalist on the hardcore scene, so I'm glad he's returned to his roots, just hope he uses that voice of his. Again a band that many would put in the top of their list, but for me, they are way too much of corporate metal band, so let's move onto something cooler.

The end of heartache
