Regardless of whether or not you liked Shai Hulud, it is undeniable that Hearts Once Nourished with Hope and Compassion was an oft-imitated and highly influential release in the mid-to-late nineties.
Munich, Germany's Heaven Shall Burn specialize in highly controversial and politicized death metal fused with hardcore; a hybrid style often referred to as death-core.
BLACK PYRAMID is a heavy-metal core outfit debuting recently, plus a sorta thrash group called DAMAGE REPORT. TOOLINC FOR ANUS also did a first show, but unfortunately I missed it.
FALSE CONFESSIONS kicked out Ishinael and now Scott (ex-bassist) is singing, and the band is looking for a bassist. They have a much talked about new direction, leaning into the BAUHAUS/SPECIMEN style of punk (or so I've heard). While I applaud their decision to change, I wonder if they'll alienate some of their audience who were used to their old metal-core style, or is it true at all?
DESECRATION - "Damaged by Decibels" cassette A 4-song "death metal core band" that zips along at a frantic pace, isn't as metal as it is thrash, ana avoids lame lyrics and sticks to political/social subjects. A pretty hot debut

Zao is one of the best examples of early metalcore, and their influence on the genre is undeniable. The guitar work, the high throaty style of the vocals, and the band aesthetics are all pieces that would have great influence on bands down the road..
...All Shall Perish... Alienacja (Poland), Despised Icon (Montreal) and Whitechapel (Knoxville, TN)... They're all textbook 'deathcore', fusing death metal and hardcore punk.
As its very own sub-style of the broader tent genre, NYHC has an instantly recognizable sound and style with its own localized lineage, but it's also transcended its own area code and influenced many of the biggest hardcore bands of the last 30 years — from Hatebreed and No Warning to Power Trip and Turnstile. From the enduring works of metallic hardcore pioneers to the timeless exuberance of straight-edge provocateurs...
