carl's top 50 metalcore

inspired by Tundra's recent list. metalcore was a formative part of my music taste's (d)evolution. I also realize that this subgenre is very loosely defined so take it with a grain of salt I suppose. not super strictly ranked but top 10 are like shit I still spin fairly frequently
50Caliban
I Am Nemesis


didnt include Heaven Shall Burn on this list cuz i feel like they arent that core-y at all but Caliban are so they make the cut
49Bullet for My Valentine
The Poison


nostalgia core, the anniversary tour with Trivium gonna go brazy

Symptoms of Survival


the core is back and here to stay
