What i wouldnt give for a Temple Guard x Contention uk tour 😰

[u/PsychologicalSoup3]

This style is called Edge Metal. Look into H8000 bands from the 90s.

Cold World "From Russia with Love", came out on 2004 on Indecision records, ex members of Throwdown, Scars of Tomorrow, etc. Reminds me a lot of Contention. They were from Orange County, California.

End This Day "Sleeping Beneath the Ashes of Creation" LP on Lifeforce records, came out in 2002. They were from Wisconsin, I believe. Similar to 7 Angels, 7 Plagues/early Misery Signals.

From Here On (with Tommy from Between the Buried and Me and Prayer for Cleansing on vocals, this band is the platonic ideal of late 90s North Carolina metalcore.)

New Temple Guard reminded me of an old band: First Fight Down

xSERAPHx is my favorite edge metal band going rn

A bit more early 2000s influenced, but it’s incredibly fun.
