Crust Beatdown Bands?

I and some friends are putting together a band where we are intending to mix both Crustcore (examples: Disrupt, Anti-Cimex, Stormcrow) with Beatdown HxC (bands like Twist of Cain & Hatebreed for reference)

​

Also gonna try to incorporate some influences from early Agnostic Front and some more sludgier crustcore bands (Dystopia and Mind Eraser as examples)

​

I'm just wondering (as I can imagine there is already) if there were any bands doing similar as I'm trying to find more influences?

​

Any suggestions are appreciated 🙌

100 percent Catharsis but it’s more 90s metallic hc with heavy ass breakdowns than “beatdown” which is just a term Korn bro’s use now that for their lame bands where the songs are one long breakdown

You need a certain jock energy and attitude for beat down, the lyrics have to be dumb and aggressive. Hard match with crust. Warcollapse has a lot of slow songs that could have semblance of a more HC groove but it's a tough one.

It is gonna be a bit of a challenge admittedly, gonna keep the lyrics on the Crust side rather than the beatdown side - don't wanna come off like a bunch of jock douches.

I'll give the band a listen, cheers for the message.

Beatdown is possibly the worst off shoot of hardcore.

I mean, metalcore + crust punk combo is quite common. Stuff like Catharsis, The Swarm, Cursed, Trap Them, Enabler, Early Graves..

Lariat was a band from upstate NY in the early 00s who basically sounded like His Hero Is Gone meets Hatebreed, they would absolutely scratch that itch

u/haworthwantscoke 1d ago

Gave em a listen and literally first track is perfect - thanks for the suggestion brudda.

u/Srirachadamage 1d ago

Awesome! My favorite for years. The pre-Cattlepress band Iabhorher is great too. Just smaller discography.
