well im happy to see a "core" recommendation topic i think it gets a bad rap around here, im looking for blackend core ie black metal sounding type lyrics not too much bassy grunts, some fast paced chug chug and uptempo break downs, ive been listening to august burns red and really enjoying it also diging as i lay dying, dont like eternal lord ,too slow. so any help ?

Not too much of a -core fan, but from what I've heard something like the Legend EP from Abigail Williams is probably what you're looking for.

wow every ones quick to recommend Abigail Williams

ummm thanks but a little to much keyboards too "epic", ill be more specific the "black" metal i currently listening to cobalt, wittr, enthroned, drautran, immortal and belphagor. some how i got august burns red's album and i am looking for a combanition of these two sounds.

I figured you might have already tried them after I posted, ahah. Ah well

Apokefale might sort of be what you're looking for. I'm not sure.

People tend to call Winds Of Plague blackened/black metalcore. It may be what your looking for. However they are another band with lots of keyboard use.

Give Aurora Black a try.

tigerthunder, I recommended you InseCT and Apokefale in the black metal help thread. Did you hear them?

Also, I will add Full Frontage Rage. Black metal mixed with a more old-school type of metallic hardcore.

check out As Hope Dies and As Blood Runs BLack

I'd happen to agree with you there. It's a great cd. But even better is their newest CD, which is more Emperor-esque.

yes and thank you insect is pretty good

also check out exhausted prayer and the funeral pyre.

If you haven't listened to their latest album (In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns), do yourself a favour and check it out; it's a lot different then the stuff from the EP. If you have, then I have no recommendations for you.

also check out Fallen Angel. they are long time broken up but released a full length of amazing black metalcore.

Mortal Treason's Sunrise Over a Sea of Blood

They are probably more of an aquired taste but Becoming the Martyr are Blackened Metalcore. Godless Crusade are either Blackened Metalcore w/ some Death Metal influence or Blackened Deathcore, definetley check them out they are a real standout in terms of -core, also if you like them check out Straightout, same stylistically, except they are Melodic Black instead of just Black.

Why As Blood Runs Black? And I suggest Dance Club Massacre, Heavy symphonic elements and basically full on black metal vocals. Also there is Dead In Existence who sound like a better version of Winds of Plague.

kill yourself

i cant find them her on metal archives or google can you provide a link, thanks all for the recomendations so far

That made me lol.

Not sure whether to or

One of the best elitist troll-defeating responses I've heard so far, assuming he actually understood.

lol would be correct, troll defeated

In that case I second what MaDTransilvanian wrote.

Agreed. But listen to the album Circle of Death. Feast of the Blood Monsters was a complete mess...

May not be what you're looking for, but The Agony Scene has somewhat blackened vocals. They're not completely horrible metalcore either.

the new bleeding through is kinda "black". its a good metalcore album imo.

hmmmm
