Metalcore has had two notable boom periods since its foundations were first laid down in the 90s. As the nu metal explosion died off in the early 2000s, the likes of Killswitch Engage, Avenged Sevenfold, Bleeding Through and Poisonthewell established metalcore as the next major movement in the scene, while Bring Me The Horizon would take it into arenas a decade later, inspiring a whole new generation of bands in the process.
In 2024, metalcore is in the midst of another major resurgence, with British mainstays like BMTH, Architects, While She Sleeps and Bury Tomorrow continuing to evolve and put out top-tier material and young bands across Europe, the US and beyond shaping the sound of metalcore to come. With that in mind, here are ten releases from 2024 so far that prove metalcore is in ruder health than ever.
