1. ASKING ALEXANDRIA- RECKLESS AND RELENTLESS
Say what u want about the sound change since the last record, this one in my opinion blew stand up and scream away, One the best hardcore releases ive heard and i didnt even like the this record or band when i first heard it, but the emotion and energy of it quickly grew on me, start to finish this one takes you on the wild selfdestructive journey these guys went on since the last release. Breathless is just fucking beutifully brutal, Closure grips you at the end when they declare music is dead, Another lesson learned serves a brutal lesson in breakdowns, while Dear insanity & another bottle down, Brings Pure emtion and Rage full throtle Before closing it off with There most epic song to date Morte Et Dabo.
2. Hell Is What You Make It - Breath Carolina
This record From Beginning to End is just a Epic Good time, by Far there best release to date and pretty much my favorite of Year, This one came out just in time for summer and i listened to a least a couple songs of it a day since it was released, Bkackout servers as this years drinking anthem While LAST NIGHT (VEGAS) is the perfect next day hangover record, kyle screams all over the club anthem Sweat it Out. Edge of heavon offers a mix of screams, techno and a kewl dubstep breakdown at the end . before closing it off smoothly with one my personal faves "gone so long."
3. MAYDAY PARADE (SELF TITLED)
THis One maybe should of been #1 (but with everysong having to do with relationships IDK) but the other 2 we were pretty sweet. But just when u thought they were gona put another watered down radio friendly pop record, They went back to basics of There Classic "A lesson in romantics" this one may not be as good vocally but musically it kills, the guitar play and lyrics has gone to level 10 and the songs catchier than ever.
4. Falling In Reverse - The Drug in Me is You
Ronie Ronnie, waited 5 long years for this one to come out, ive followed this band since day one, i remember it leaking when i was on vacation, And i gota say the wait was worth it. The lyrics, vocals the band so much better this time around to point where his old stuff is a little dry to me now, This was the perfect kind of statement that record that covered all the topics that had to be addressed in Radke Like fashion cant wait to see what else is in store.
5. Destroy rebuild until god shows - D.R.U.G.S
The best kind of record in my opinion is the that u just happen to just come across thinking its gona suck untill u listen to it and ur blown away, this record prime example. love this one start to finish, these guys are gona be around for a while.
6. Dead Throne - The Devil Wears Prada
Probably my fave hardcore band, wasnt really into this one in the beggining until i finally got it, these guys dont wona be the biggest selling core band, they wona be as metal as can be and thats what this record brought. Say what u wont about the screams i love the new vocals i fell the emotion in these songs so much more than the old Stuff in "Forever Decay" he screams his fucking heart out his chest!
7. All Time Low - Dirty Work
Yea the sounds gone even more far right mainstream than there last record, i still out this as my favorite pop-punk release of the year with help of its 2 best songs "hero's" & "guts"
8. August Burns Red - Leveler
Maybe there most epic release to date though its super hard to put anything past "messengers" One thing that this has over that is this one fucking shreds outa this world the guitar work is sick!
9. Black Tide - post Mortem
Another of those knew nothing about the band & just happened to hear this one and it blew me away, One of my new favorite metal bands, this record has a ton great lyrics in it that anyone could relate to.
10. Emmure - Speaker of the Dead
