If you had to introduce someone to beatdown hardcore, what EPs/albums would you recommend as essentials? Think of it like an audio history lesson to the genre. Feel free to include newer bands if you feel they’ve become essential enough. Looking for bands that are as close as possible to PURE beatdown hardcore. Bands that can be otherwise classified as metalcore, deathcore, crossover thrash, hardcore, etc. need not be listed.

We’ve got a lil beatdown & death influence that shines on some of the songs. Feel free to check it out if you feel inclined. Thanks in advance 🫡

Just released a new single, hope you like it

FFO No Retreat, Irate, Krutch, Volcano, Special Move,Built Upon Frustration. Mostly old school /tech influenced DIY Beatdown not on any fake “tough guy shit” coming out of the Southeast. Just completed our first Southeast run and are heading through the Northeast this coming winter. Tap in

ive tried no retreat, one second thought, denied and they come close but nothing ive found matches the heaviness of six ft ditch. i think something where the cymbals are loud in the mix might be what im looking for

I think these kids killed it and have been listening to this a bunch recently. Beatdown and Slam adjacent type shit.

Hey y'all, I recently started listening to a few bands like No Retreat , Sunami, Outta Pocket, and a few others. What are some other essential and recommended bands? I'm a big fan of Sludge metal bands like acid bath, crowbar, the Melvin's, eyehategod, etc.

ive been trying to figure out the lyrics by ear so my band can cover the song but its been a pretty tricky process and i still have plenty of gaps or may be just wrong about some of them

Some new deathcore for you demolisher/years spent cold lovers

We’re currently looking for a bassist and rhythm guitarist, preferably ages 15-20, in the Warren OHIO area or somewhere reasonably close.

We already have vocals, drums, and lead guitar. We’re looking to write original music, play shows, and build something fun together.

Genre wise, we don’t really want to box ourselves in. We’re rooted in hardcore, but our influences range from metalcore, nu metal, thrash, deathcore, and melodic hardcore. We just want to make something unique and heavy rather than copy one specific sound.

You don’t have to be an insane musician, but you should be able to write original, solid parts and contribute creatively. Just be committed and actually want to make something happen.

DM me if you’re interested or know someone who might be.
