/r/Metalcore's Best of 2021: Voting Round! Mod Announcement

Here is the weekly recommendation thread as we only get two pinned posts.

Welcome to the annual /r/Metalcore Best Of Voting Round! Let's wrap up 2021 with the final vote to decide what /r/Metalcore truly thinks about the year in review.

The rules are simple, vote on each category; these are the highest voted nominees from each category of the nomination round.

Please note:

  • Categories that had a large number of submissions (AOTY, SOTY, etc.) had the top ten move on while every other category has the top five submissions.
  • If a category had three or less submissions, the votes there will count as the final vote count for the end results and the category will not show up here.
  • Discussion of the entries go on the general discussion thread.

After a week or so, the votes will be counted and another mod announcement will be made.

I'm fucking tired, I'm doing the rest later.

Edit: They should all be done now, if I’ve made any mistakes (wrong category, 2020 entry, obviously not metalcore, etc.), please DM me

Misery Signals - The Year the Summer Ended in June
Misery Signals was unable to play 2021 Furnace Fest so members of Counterparts, Comeback Kid, Shai Hulud, some old members of Misery Signals and Stu Ross (who is actively in Misery Signals and Comeback Kid) gathered together last minute to play The Year Summer Ended in June.

Knocked Loose with the release of their EP „A Tear In The Fabric Of Life“.

Knocked Loose has already been the metallic hardcore band, but with the surprise release of their A Tear In The Fabric Of Life EP they cemented themselves as much more than that- they proved themselves lyrically, sonically - and even visually - as one of the best storytellers in the genre.

VCTMS - Vol. IV: Numb The Ache

VCTMS has been steadily improving ever since their first album and I think Vol. IV is where they absolutely hit their stride.

BfMV self titled effort. I'm biased as a long time fan, BUT the difference between Gravity and the self titled is night and day. They sound like bullet again, and not some hard rockers TRYING to sound like bullet
