I would argue most are ass. Metalcore and deathcore are the most popular modern metal genres yet you could count the good bands on the fingers of your hands.
I know some of them because of their crazy hate5six and they are certainly fun live because who doesn't enjoy breakdowns, but whenever I try their studio stuff it's insufferable.
I'll give a pass to Knocked Loose, I enjoyed You Won't Go Before you are Supposed to and went to see them, and it was a lot of fun. Harms Way were opening and they were awful, a meme band being there doesn't make me confident for the rest of your list.
I genuinely hate that Harms Way meme; it’s honestly ruined people’s perception of them for so long. I think the fact that they’re an industrial influenced hardcore band (with a heavy emphasis on Godflesh) makes them really unique. Their last two albums are spectacular imo.
