CD Review: ANTHRAX Worship Music

from Metal Injection by Jeremy Ulrey

Essential Metalcore Albums

from About.com Heavy MetalMetalcore sometimes gets a bad rap because many modern bands of the genre are very similar and generic.  That’s a shame, because there are many metalcore bands who are very creative and don’t deserve to be lumped into that category.  Metalcore also has a fairly lengthy history, dating back to the ’80s when bands like Suicidal Tendencies, Agnostic Front and others blended hardcore, punk and metal to launch a new style of metal.  Today it has become one of the more popular styles of metal, and one that can be a gateway for young fans to discover other styles of metal.  This is a list of some CDs new fans can listen to and get a good idea of what the genre is about.  It is not meant to be all inclusive, just a decent sample of what metalcore has to offer.
