Top 10 Metal Songs: Mathcore/Prog Edition

[Jcbkins229]

Good line up since its PROG and mathcore.. but where the hell is INTO THE MOAT?

'

[Bitemedemilavato]

WHY ISNT DEP NUMBER !?!?!?!

[D3V1LMACH1N3]

Interesting list, but I would have only put PTH, Atheist, and Opeth are the only three I see worthy of making the list. Crazy the difference in taste people have on these lists they make.

[ruidodeaura]

dillinger escape plan

[conformiste1]

I'm just a stupid guy when we talk about music but I'm pretty sure Protest The Hero (the only band I know among those in the list) owns on everyone musically ! :) PTH Rules !!!!

[IAmebAdger]

wtf, Avant-Garde metal??

this again shows that genre names shouldn't be paid attention to sometimes...

[normtheclone]

What, no Number 12 Looks Like You!

[Gstop69]

F yeah ! OPETH IS THE Shit. saw them last night :)

[bloodinyourface100]

shit!!!!!! what  a fucking bunch of faggots!!!!!!!!!! if this is metal the I am... I don't know... Jesus?... bitch please.... def.. all this "core...? metal" style is nothing but little kids who want to look "evil". if I had a son listening to this I'd bitchslap him and show him some fintroll, burzum, bathory real metal.

[TheThing88]

@bloodinyourface100 Any credibility your post may have had was immediately lost when you recommended finntroll. Whoopsie!

[draugsvoll01]

@bloodinyourface100 Burzum and Bathory just as amazing as all the bands in this video, but Finntroll? Are you kidding??

[texturedwalls]

You have a pretty good list there sir.

[sebkw96]

HOORAY for Atheist!!!

[JeremiahAlesana]

I would say Protest the Hero is the best.

[thetransformah]

Everyone who is arguing over music on this thread is retarded...period...end of story. Get a life.

[alvaroock666]

HORSE THE BAND NOT IS A MATHCORE BAND!!!!!! NOT IS EXPERIMENTAL, IS NESCORE, OPETH NOT IS CORE

[muskegorunner]

@alvaroock666 he never said opeth was core. dipshit.

[almostSK8ER51]

Between The Buried and Me! best choice on the list! :)

[almostSK8ER51]

Between The Buried and Me! best choice on the list! :)

[K2nsl3r]

this is a good video, and it is introducing me to a lot of cool new interesting bands, so far unknown to me, and reminding me to go back and listen to the few bands here that I AM already familiar with. :)

[phreestylesk8r]

1. CYNIC THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD and dillinger shoul be up higher

[megakid888]

No Dream Theater?

[thisisacryforhelp1]

nice tatse of music listen to duck duck goose and heavy hevay low low if you havent youll like them

[mash4561]

I"d like to know peoples position on The Fall of Troy. They're an excellent Mathcore band. Most people don't look past F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X., but if you do, you'll find some amazing songs with ridiculously strong and original riffs as well as a killer limited EP knows as Ghostship.

[SimplePatternz]

@mash4561 ya there really underated and get thrown in with shitty scene kid bands...sux...but yeah there wicked good

[Bytorand1]

prog metal edition and you don't mention dream theater at all -.-"

[mash4561]

@Bytorand1 I second that

[borntobe44]

protest the hero is not progressive hardcore, they are progressive metal or progressive metalcore get it right

[dbzwes]

Protest the Hero \m/ (-_- ) \m/

[RhoadsLivesOn]

protest the hero is the bomb.

[MyReturningNightmare]

Spellingcore

[wackyoneone]

BTBAM

:)

[DrummersNVRSAYDIE]

HORSE The Band is grindcore

[killdareman]

@xTHETRAINx Your acting all hardy when just look at your name LOOK AND BE ASHAMED!

[ihaveTENTACLES]

I was surprised you didn't put "43% Burnt" as Dillinger's

i like both personally though, so great list :D

[Greyson93]

Wheres The Number 12 Looks Like You?

[BoarandTenia]

i don't know how i feel about there being 3 btbam songs on this. they're good, but you used them as filler. also, you seem to have ignored cephalic carnage daughters, illogicist, ghengis tron and a slew of other amazing bands with a wide array of technically challenging, progressive, mathy bands that play with real alacrity and poignancy. and, really? milk lizard? i showed it to a girl i knew to get her into heavy shit. she started listening to killswitch engaged and i had to start all over.

[HitmanJenkins1]

i'm suprised there's no Converge or Architects, the only Mathcore here is DEP, and even then you chose Milk LIzard, which, if we're honest, isn't a great example of their work, it's a good song, but it doesn't properly represent them in my opinion

good taste though, Atheist, BTBAM, Opeth and Cynic are all sick bands

[SteveRowland]

Protest the Hero should've been first! >.<

[arontanner]

how the fuck is dep hot topic there not even close to that "scene" or w.e u want to call it good list vy the way

[xTHETRAINx]

Mathcore sounds so fucking gay and I would never be caught dead even using that word lol you faggots are all the same. This list of bands is basically a bunch of scene kid hot topic crap other than arsis and cynic. FAIL

[MaidenPriest420]

i wasnt aware that HORSE the Band,Dillinger Escape Plan ,Arcturus,Protest The Hero,Between The Buried And Me andOpeth were scene kid hot topic bands. your comment=FAIL. your life is a fail. my god, are you retarded?

[xTHETRAINx]

@MaidenPriest420 I mean half of that shit sounds like fucking noise honestly... protest the hero is more progressive and between the buried and me is pretty good but seriously the rest of the shit is fucking terrible honestly. There's so much better music out there in the same genres but using the word "mathcore" is fucking stupid.

[inthepants117]

@MaidenPriest420 well scenesters do like the horse the band (still the only band that can do nintendocore without it sounding like complete shit) but yeah that guy is obviously retarded

[buckrooster793]

@MaidenPriest420

i think you are a bit out of line, as a fan of mathcore, to call somebody else retarded. mathcore is terrible your comeback to xTHETRAINx doesn't even make sense. I guess it's too bad if you didn't realize this shit is mad hot topic with it but only herbs listen to music this terrible and especially if you waste your time making random youtube videos of this awful shit you clearly have no life and are indeed the one who has failed and is retarded.

[7dayspking]

@MaidenPriest420 opeth suck ass.. between the buried and me are scene sorta there okish there alright but there deathcore songs suck don't know about these ones cuz you vid don't load but wanna hear a true good mathcore song listen to dysphoria whispers in my head

[deftdrummer]

@MaidenPriest420 Saying fail is fail.

[ThunderShot66]

@MaidenPriest420 atheist isn't mathcore you fucking candy-ass.

[arontanner]

@xTHETRAINx how is sigh a hot topic band? lol ur retarded

[CupcakeKidsofFilth]

@xTHETRAINx wow kid, your bad ass acting like your hardcore or something. In real life you are probably some pussy-ass-fuck who weighs 300 pounds and has nothing better to do then to try to act like your cool.

[CupcakeKidsofFilth]

@xTHETRAINx wow kid, your bad ass acting like your hardcore or something. In real life you are probably some pussy-ass-fuck who weighs 300 pounds and has nothing better to do then to try to act like your cool. btw I saw Arsis live and they weren't that good

[CupcakeKidsofFilth]

@xTHETRAINx Wow your a bad-ass trying to act all cool and shit. Your probably 300 pounds piece of pussy-ass-shit. btw I saw arsis live and they weren't that good

[xTHETRAINx]

@CupcakeKidsofFilth hahahahaha that describes me to a tee... you must be a smart guy with a doctorate

[HitmanJenkins1]

@xTHETRAINx Mathcore isn't scene, bands such as Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge (which isn't on here) were around way before scene was on the rise

[BoarandTenia]

@HitmanJenkins1 scene has been in the making since 87, after real hardcore got stupid and ian mckaye refused to fight anymore.

[brutalxscreams]

@xTHETRAINx lol kid ur a bad troll. gtfo before i curb stomp your head into the ground.

[xTHETRAINx]

@brutalxscreams yeah great reply tough guy

[INgLeSBe]

@xTHETRAINx try architects big guy.. they rape everything.

[Billyheel]

@xTHETRAINx Hey kid, go listen to music instead of trolling. You must not have heard that part while playing it on Rock Band. Gtfo.

[SpiritusPerfidus]

@xTHETRAINx

Mmmm, somehow I get the feeling you are a hiphoppy self respect lacking kinda person. But thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. I trust that the response you evoked gave you that brief moment of awareness that you may be alive. Next time give it your best shot and try to make a positive comment!

[zzzrrr54]

@xTHETRAINx if you think this kind of music is shit, then what are you doing here????

i think this vid is awesome, now i've got some new bands

[envolopee]

@xTHETRAINx do you even know what the term mathcore means....so as you dont know cuz you cussing music uses time signatures which are like fractions...and in mathcore the signatures change alot...making it sort of like math. and i dont give a fuck how old this comment is.

[Mallorywow]

@xTHETRAINx Sorry, but you are fucking mistaken....Between the Buried and me are fucking Brutal as hell, and shit alllllll over your thoughts, and weak ass comments. Speaking of buried....U definately should be!!!

[TecLogik]

Mathcore? It's technical metal.

[inthepants117]

@TecLogik what he said and the only bands that are mathcore here is dillinger escape plan and protest the hero is influenced by mathcore

[FallingFromTheLight]

Lol mathcore who came up with that

[SpineHunt]

God these are all so shite.

[wilby8284]

whats the wourld comeing to mathcore=noise yelling and a whole lot of pussies tryin to play music when there too blind/dumb to realize they have no talent

[wrathking100]

Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza-Yippie Kay Yay Motherfucker

[Dudeatrix]

Dream Theater Symphony X Stratovarius just to name a few.

[justplainbig]

@Dudeatrix doesn't involve mathcore

[bringingscurvyback]

I would certainly've put an Unexpect song, but most of you probably don't know about them

[pisaniforprez]

@bringingscurvyback I know them!! My friend loved them, he told me how great they are and showed me some of their stuff.

[fatfatfatfatfat2]

the picture of protest is really old lol

[stupidjunk978]

OMG, this is shit, anyone can shout and play some random chords

[ProgressiveVirtuoso]

cynic is progressive metal with technical death metal. (=

[ProgressiveVirtuoso]

protest the hero is progressive metalcore/post-hardcore and between the buried and me is progressive death metal/metalcore with fusion.

[borntobe44]

@ProgressiveVirtuoso protest the hero is prog metal and mathcore. not metalcore or post-hardcore

[ProgressiveVirtuoso]

@borntobe44 man, I am an expert in the progressive, and will continue to tell you that protest the hero is progressive metalcore post-hardcore, progressive metal = spastic ink, mathcore = Every Time I Die, (progressive metal + mathcore = SiKTh), (progressive metalcore + post- hardcore = protest the hero), sorry brother but it's reality

[borntobe44]

@ProgressiveVirtuoso You are actually wrong. If you knew anything about protest the hero, you would know that they love SikTh, are heavily influenced by them, and sound very similar (which they are mathcore). Also if you knew anything about the band you would know that the hate hard core. The drums are very punk not hard core. Finally the vocals are very operatic/theater arts with death growls and punky elements. btw metal core are bands like Atreyu

[ProgressiveVirtuoso]

@borntobe44 protest the hero is a combination of bands and influences, you know, and to define its genre is really difficult, everyone has their definition of protest the hero ... I stand by what I said. Not discuss brother, better enjoy good music as SiKTh, Between the Buried and Me, Protest the Hero and many more bands. (=

[ProgressiveVirtuoso]

@borntobe44 read the description, he says, protest the hero (progressive hardcore), protest is actually progressive metalcore / post-hardcore, is named for the technical virtuosity of progressive metalcore, and for hardcore excited voice. i recomend hear "after the burial" band of progressive metalcore.

[Mircofire]

All this ROCKS !!! Love these all, I just think SikTh would find his place, too... Meshuggah is a way different but nice too ^^

[soyelmalditoenemigo]

the faceless,necrophagist,beneath the massacre,no consequence,ion dissonance behold the arctopus and see you next tuesday are missing

[lllusionx]

Fuck yeah! PROTEST THE HERO!

[27darkstalker]

cynic should be on top of them all >:) i think

[Calvervtutrp]

Horse the band, YEEESSSSS!!! Also, where's The Fall Of Troy?

[oilersandguitars]

wheres the Fall of Troy?

[xScreamToRisex]

theres on band missing for my taste. The Human Abstract Is Great

[Enigma02011]

"Milk Lizard" isn't mathcore.

[lllusionx]

@Enigma02011 i think he was referring to a math/prog band's song, maybe not the song itself, because dilinger is by all means mathcore.

[thebtbamfan]

nice All bodies at intro prequel to the sequel numbah 2 and mordecai for end credits! I also love opeth and cynic and btbam. Great video good job! p.s. anyone viewing this page i am looking for a band to join. i play prog metlal / mathcore / techdeath. plz send me a msg thnks

[ZoomGeek]

yay HORSE The Band! :D

[Frust93]

Where's Tool? :D

[kichermann]

"Number 2: Between the Buried and me - Prequel to the Sequel" so ehm , but the song was not Prequel to the Sequel xD Whats the real name?

[MaidenPriest420]

yeah it is

[acrator]

@MaidenPriest420 no it is not

[thebtbamfan]

@kichermann that is prequel to teh sequel. Idk what your talking about. i hope you dont think its not cuz u played it on rock band. Rock Band excluded the last 4 minutes of that song on there video game for sum reason.

[LDS1310]

@kichermann it is fast foward the full song to the accordian part and right after it thats the part :p

[K3VIN552]

@kichermann Yeah, that is Prequel To The Sequel, its right after the french sounding part...but the part that is in this song is the guest vocalist.

[Flaremancer]

@kichermann Yep, that's the name

[Merc1122]

@kichermann That's the second half of the song after the polka section.

[hoogles2]

@kichermann yes it was, just the second half

[summitthescale]

You could have chosen such a better song for half of these bands. Great band choice though, terrible song choice. Either way... I'm stoked that the selection in this video actually fits my tastes. So good job.

[MaidenPriest420]

the videos a year old calm down sir

[NoricuM666]

arcturus and opeth are the only two bands which are really good in MY eyes. they are geniuses

[shiggityshwaaa]

This is the first time I've heard of Arcturus, and I didn't really like them. But yeah, Opeth is amazing.

[HappyWetPants]

nightcore is legit. cuz its tekno

[jimmyshitbags]

urgh. is every kind of music with "-core" on the end shit or is it just me?

[CrawlerSoul]

maybe it's not to your taste)

I gave you one finger UP for your OWN opinion)

[RyanEnvy]

@ Jimmy: It's because they all have hardcore influences and backgrounds. Metal core is a fusion of metal and hardcore. Mathcore is technical metal, etc.

[danevati]

Progressive metal is just amazing! Those are the best bands... THE PROG ONES!!! But mostly awesome are BTBAM and Opeth!!!

[minimanomus]

i hate those ''true'' metalheads citate '' this aint metal, this is shit!'' the same they say bout prog. metal, the same they say bout mathcore and stuff... fuck it, if you're not mature enough to understand different music than that which you listen to - FUCK OFF k?

[spypiece]

Hey man, that was well said. I hear alot of that bullshit, from ignorant people. I've never heard the term "mathcore" before until tonite. This was the first vid I checked out. It's metal, just not my kind of metal. Interesting, but not my thing. Later.

[MetalHead420100]

@minimanomus well i can understand wat ur saying. but the thing is, is that once u end up listening to soo much good actual metal(not counting a fuckload of core band of course) u end up raising ur standards for the metal and music u listen to in general. so sry that we dont like that trash that u think is so new and fresh, and groundbreaking and genius when its reallly just a bunch of mediocrity thrown together.

[EGGBURT1234]

@minimanomus i agree, but honestly i think it just matters that you know what you like and you dont like.

[Bytorand1]

@minimanomus man i'd liek to say i was a "true" metalhead because i hate stuff liek death core but i'd be a hypocrite because my favourite bands are prog metal/rock the mars volta,and dream theater

[619Antonio619]

the best top

[dustoXKing]

horse the band (heart)

[afiquisfen]

furck, is bery shir, cannibal corpse rules

[1ManArmyOfDisease]

I would have put Death, Symphony X, Aletheian or Necrophagist in this, good choice on arsis atheist opeth Cynic BtB&M and TDEP

[maxskate99]

Symphony X is more metalcore... But still it's awesome.

[1ManArmyOfDisease]

what?? are you a metal n00b?

[maxskate99]

@1ManArmyOfDisease Symphony isn't mathcore. If you think it is, then I'm sure you can't tell me a true definition of mathcore. Yes it is technical and complexe, just like metalcore but I don't know how to really classify that band...

[1ManArmyOfDisease]

dude this is PROG and mathcore, I write mathcore!!! I said symphony X would be a good choice because they are a PROG band not a METALCORE band I know Im bitching about sub genres but I just wanted to say im right and your wrong. I write mathcore I know what it is!! so stop being an idiot.

[strongreaction1]

prog?

[strongreaction1]

prog my arse

[MrGrandshot]

for DEP I would have picked Panasonic Youth or Sandbox Magician...

[danevati]

The part of the Between the Buried and Me... Is also my favorite part of all their songs!!!

[brenisacorgi]

Fuck ire works, dude.

[MaidenPriest420]

i like it

[JKT84]

@MaidenPriest420

after calculating infinity everything from them will sound like shit in comparison. theyve never matched that level of creativity, diversity and technicality since

[MrDeathcored]

wheres the human abstract??

[ch715dallat]

the human abstract are barely prog at all, just metalcore

[monsterofmuaythai]

i love the human abstract. what exactly is prog? plz explain

[Carlito148]

nah theyre barely metalcore....their prog/mathcore

[itzsix]

whats the very last song when it says thanks for watching??

[LucasGtrGod]

Mordecai - Between the Buried and Me

[Lunarsight]

Good list - the only band that seems to be missing is Spiral Architect.

[3100340]

who?

[Lunarsight]

3100340 - Search for "Spiral Architect" on Youtube.

Fantastic band - math metal at its finest. Shame they only released one album..

[3100340]

ok i will do that

[FuckingHostiiile]

Good thing you gave first place to opeth ;D

[nom0reyouth]

your list sucks, and to have a top songs list with only 10 spots is an insult to the genre.

[MaidenPriest420]

ok cool

[leinaddsiul]

? you read the title?

[BeyondZeGrave]

Meh.

You could really categorize Protest the Hero as many different things...

I say they're Progressive Mathcore.

[rorekel]

wow this video is rly accurate

[S0unDOfCha0S]

I fucking LOVE Sigh!

[squidfiste]

Great list, although I would add Ruby Bullet because they are an amazing mathy prog band.

[juliojrc]

wait a minute... WTF IS WHITE WALLS FROM BTBAM!!!??? dude that song is like the most epic song in their album... wait wtf am i talking about. THAT WHOLE ALBUM IS FUCKING EPIC. like one giant song with different flavors in eac.... i dont know how their new album will top Colors...btbam rules.

[stewpidPhReShMusIC]

dude calm da fuck down

[LDS1310]

@juliojrc fuk yeh and the great misdirect their new album :)

[FlyingVshredz]

@juliojrc

It surprisingly did though. 

[ThePr0Hobo]

@juliojrc didn't end up topping it lmfao

[juliojrc]

protest the hero has one badass album and thats fortress. y? because the singer makes me wanna throw up in the other albums. emo faggot.... but anyways the singers vocal range in fortress is somethin.

[yuri330]

i download songs because sometime like most band i just want ONE song but i hate all the rest of their song like i just want the intro of a song to put in a video so why would i pay 19.99$ when i just need like 10sec of a song ? T_T

[MasterBORRACHO]

Hey MaidenPriest420 u should make more of these vids.

[stewpidPhReShMusIC]

pth is the best on here

[jonajonathan]

ARCTURUS parece banda cumbia argentina!!!

[dreamtheateriano95]

hahahahaha

XDDDDDD

es verdad

[MasterBORRACHO]

Arsis and Arcturus are my faves bands here. So good I ran to get their tracks off torrents as I speak. FUCK PURCHASING MUSIC, IT IS ALL ABOUT TORRENTS

[x3kleenex3]

idiot!! if no one would buy cds no band would record music anymore because it would be too expensive -.-

[MasterBORRACHO]

Oh shut the fuck up. It isnt hurting u so stop bitchin and get the stick outta ur bleeding pussy.

[xPLDxPunisher]

Ew. lol. I do agree with torrenting though.

[MasterBORRACHO]

ARCTURUS LOOK LIKE VAMPlRES...

[MasterBORRACHO]

DA HORSE BAND GUY IN THE BLUE SHIRT ALL THE WAY TO THE RlGHT LOOKS LIKE HE LOVES BALLZ

[Nuncapitated]

first song is fantastic

[elitesaint666]

nice i liked your choices check my video out. Guns n roses. 4eva

[rustytheginge]

jesus u could have picked a better Dillinger song, like 43% Burnt or Panasonic Youth, and where's Meshuggah?? and Gorguts and Ion Dissonance?? etc

[MaidenPriest420]

i know my list i dont like those bands so dont be the police

[TheAvenger87]

Wow how can you you throw in Sigh, Atheist, Cynic, and even Opeth with the rest of this crap. Horse the band being in the top ten prog metal songs of all time? Protest the Hero? What about some of Death's more proggy stuff?
