I've listened to a hell of a lot music this year but I don't really looked after hardore-albums cause I kinda grew tired of the genre. Anyway, it would be nice if you guys sum up the greatest hardcorealbums of this year. I will check them out and maybe I find something I do like. The only band in this genre I've really loved last year was Defeater. I also do like Modern Life Is War or Verse so if there are any bands of that type with a release this year, mention it if you want. Thanks anyway!

Defeater have a new EP, Lost Ground, which is good.

I've also enjoyed the releases from Lewd Acts, Rise & Fall, Hour of the Wolf, Cult Ritual, Pulling Teeth, Ruiner, Iron Age, and Gray Ghost. Also looking forward to the new 12" from Blacklisted which should be out before the end of the year.

any reason why they aren't releasing it digitally or on CD? or have I just been reading all of their newsposts wrong? either way I'm excited

my whole top 10 has pretty much been covered. Bridge 9 and Deathwish both had ridiculous years. Dead Swans, Lewd Acts, Trapped Under Ice, Ruiner, Reign Supreme and Soul Control all put out stellar records. Really enjoyed Earth Crisis' comeback album and the new Defeater Ep as well.

not sure - haven't heard that they're not releasing it digitally, would be surprised if that's the case, but re: CD's, think it's just a case of not worth it as people don't really buy them anymore. Once upon a time it was the case that many smaller releases were vinyl-exclusive, guess the labels are starting to see the merit in that and return to it.

I've just heard it referred to as a 12" release, no preorder of anything, so that could definetly be the case.

I really enjoyed the new Rise and Fall album.

ThisIsNotDan

11/24/09, 09:49 AM

I've spent most of this year, however, getting into Hardcore in general and discovering older albums (Black Flag, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Bad Brains etc, I'm always looking into finding more so recs are more than welcome. I don't pretend to know a lot about the genre)

yeah this year and last I've spent alot getting into more hardcore. I havent explored the first three of those bands you listed, but I instantly fell in love with Bad Brains, for sure. have you heard any of their non-HR stuff?

ThisIsNotDan

12/15/09, 05:09 PM

new Bane EP was far and above my favorite hardcore release, and the second one, which came out today, probably will be as well

new Blacklisted, Lion of Judah, Soul Control, and Defeater were cool too. I'm sure I'm missing some though

NEP633

12/15/09, 06:29 PM

my top 8 is something like this

lewd acts

blacklisted
hope con
paint it black
hour of the wolf
incendiary
war pigs

Sensez Fail

12/15/09, 06:31 PM

I loved The Architects CD, Hollow Crown

Other then that not too much, Defeater is amazing. By far my favorite HC band.

edit: also its amusing seeing everyone's different definitions of "hardcore". some of it is laughable

Lion of Judah came out with new music this year?

the Number-rology 7". only listened 2-3 times but it was solid, need to buy it now

I need to get on that. I saw them in DC with Title Fight, Mindset, Troops for Tomorrow & TUI. I really enjoyed their set but it looked like most folks weren't into it :/

it was a really good show. all the bands were great. I have to admit TUI put on a good show (even though I'm not a fan of their music)

I don't have Itunes, so i'll have to scoop that 7" soon

oh damn someone mentioned the Paint It Black EP that ruled too. I think I'm gonna buy the second one right now.

and I don't really consider Shook Ones hardcore but hell that was great too, Top 10 for me

Chalie22

12/15/09, 07:45 PM

You guys should check out the new Outbreak record. I really enjoyed that one. I still need to hear the new Blacklisted.

However for my money Axe To Fall by Converge was my favorite.

gotta put august burns red in there too.

and i give props to texas in july. they're not quite there yet, but they're sound is developing pretty nicely.

the guy who started this shouldve specified what kind of hardcore he was talking about.
we've got people here talking about all sorts of shit since hardcore/punk, hardcore/metal, hardcore/thrash and metalcore are all COMPLETELY different things but all belong to the hardcore family.

A Plea for Purging is not hardcore, sorry. Played with that band and GOD DAMN they are awful. Also the "artwork" for Depravity is atrocious, not to mention lazy... it's a press photo!!
