Counterparts has been around since 2011 but I stumbled across their music last year around this time and their album You’re Not You Anymore quickly became not only my favorite album of 2017 by one of my favorites ever. Currently the only album I own on vinyl.
Oceans Ate Alaska is one of those weird “core” bands that blew me away with how not only crushing and technical they can be, but also how melodic and heartfelt they can be as well. A better example of a melodic track from this album is called Hansha.
Shai Hulud is a melodic hardcore staple, has been since the early to mid 90s. This song is from the era where Geert Van Der Velde was their vocalist, though their original vocalist is Chad Gilbert, better known as the guitarist for New Found Glory and married to Hayley Williams of Paramore fame.
Pretty sick tech metal from Germany (I think?). Saw them live in 2004 and it was a phenomenal show.
Gothenburg Metal.
