Architect - Mathcore/Metal/Progressive Metal

Architect is a Metal/Mathcore band from Syracuse NY. Formerly known as Found Dead Hanging, and with lineup from Word As a Virus and Syracuse heroes. The band was formed in late 2004 after some life's screw ups they become bound and with new purpose. They let go completely of their pasts and focuses on what is now and the future. Their lyrics are direct, straightforward and brutal. Talking about their views, opinions of things that matters, things that are real. No shits like love lost, whining about girls, or family problems or craps like that. This is what I like about this band. They are trying to reinvent the old self of what punk and hardcore used to be. They wanted to reintroduce this back to the scene so that kids who forgot about the roots and focuses more on their looks more than what's inside their heads and the real purpose of this genre be back on track.

Real stuff delivered straight at you with sheer brutality..

Heaven Shall Burn - Metalcore/ Melodic Death

A dynamic quintet from Germany. Heaven Shall burn is one of the first groups to cross and diminish the boundaries between death metal and hardcore bringing metal to a whole new path which is accessible from both sides of the two genres.. They started in 1997 playing in as many shows and festivals as possible which led to being noticed by record labels and finally began recording. Their music is a mixture of melodic death metal, trash metal with the aggression of metalcore and extreme musical technicality. Lyrics are thought provoking and intelligent. Staying away from topics like heartache, parental issues and fashion instead focusing on more important issues like history's dark days, oppression, racism and some other related topics.

Alexander - guitar

Killbot - metal/ metalcore/ hardcore

Here's one you should check out. This is one of my personal picks. Killbot, Five guys from Cincinnati dedicated on making and self-promoting their music. Their fans ranges from metal/ hardcore crossing other genres. I guess it's because of the complexity and vastness of their style of music. They play alongside with some top bands related to their genre like Poison the Well and Protest the Hero.  Powerful intense songs of catchy choruses and brutally appealling growls. Combining these with heavy killer riffs, lowdown complex base lines and the heavy pounding of viscious drumlines and double pedals. Then we have a killer band. Killbot. Do check them out from time to time as they are finishing up their second album " The Anatomy of Catastrophe".

Killbot is:

Arik - vocals

Curtis - guitar

Kyle - guitar

Jeff - base 

Dave - drums

Mihara - Hardcore

Formed on 2004 started out as a five piece playing covers. They began making their own songs but after some gigs their front man left the band for some personal reasons. Their name Mihara was just randomly picked. They wasn't aware that it did actually mean something from on their practice of the Krishna consciousness. The word "Hara" is the way of addressing the energy of the lord (Krishna). Only one of them doesn't belong to this discipline.All three Rhoblin, Beda and Jay practices the discipline. Their music is explosively gritty with heavy spontaneous riffs. The voice goes well with their music and nicely audible even with the type of singing (scream) so you can understand their message very well. Here's the link to their my space account Mihara.
