[NikNocturnal]

*I love Metalcore...*
*EDIT: sadly I had to cut KSE - My Curse from the video due to copyright…*

[Megaalith]

Early 00s Metalcore was untouchable. Seriously one of the best eras of music.

[Thorna]

I hear so much Unanimated, At the gates, The Haunted, Dismember, Dark Tranquillity and In flames in these riffs. Glad to see that Swedish metal raised the scene 👍

[greysinclaire]

THAAAANK YOU for showing love for Darkest Hour!! Such a criminally underrated metalcore band that I wish more poeple would've gotten into in their prime.

[BigRedWins]

Nik has collected the infinity riffs and cannot be stopped..

[Chrisduerksen]

I dont think people realize how much work goes into a video like this. Unless our boy Nik just knows these by nature. The cutting of the songs and learning each one and then editing them all together. Great rifs by the way im def gonna check some of those out i hadnt heard of yet, thanks

[NicBrandon]

Some of my personal favorites:

ERRA - Expiate
Trivium - Into the Mouth of Hell We March
BMTH - The House of Wolves
KSE - Reject Yourself
BMTH - Crucify Me
AILD - The Darkest Nights
Spiritbox - Secret Garden
Invent Animate - The Sun Sleeps
While She Sleeps - Enlightenment
Imminence - Infectious

[EyesForLies]

Converge still kicks ass to this day, one of the best and most innovative Bands in their genre

2005-2006 Metalcore was so great, informed an entire generation of new music.

[OldMate_]

1:04 that riff is legit the hive by in flames lol

[mylife]

4:42 man, photographs is so different from all these other riffs. we need more uplifting melodic bands in metalcore

[liveyesterday]

Old parkway, AILD, ABR, Trivium, Phinehas…good times…still playing albums to this day. And thanks for introducing me to dreamshade..so melodic

[dreamshadeband]

This is great! Thanks for including "Photographs" in this! ❤️

[whiskey_icarus]

All those are great...but Jesus, My Curse still gives all the chills. Also loved hearing demons by darkest hour. Great song

[andrewpappas]

Honestly, even though I'm not a big metalcore fan hearing Scream Aim Fire just gave me a massive wave of nostalgia of playing the crap out of Guitar Hero: World Tour

[DenyThisFlesh]

I'm more into deathcore now, but I still love the early to mid 2000s metalcore. That was easily the best era of metalcore IMO.

[yourselfxbl]

The digital tones are getting more and more impressive. Solid job dialing that in nik

On of the best metal albums from the moment it starts to the end. In these days of streaming, people write songs and not albums.
