Adding short genre tags/descriptions for anyone who's looking for new music & wants to take the dive:
Glocca Morra - Just Married (math rock, post hardcore, beer soaked mosh-y punk. Amazing lyrics & massive sounding riffs & drums)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to The Heavens (post-rock, crescendo-core. Probably the epitome of the genre imo. Really feels like a classical composition but informed by modern rock & experimental music)
Converge - You Fail Me (metal core plain and simple. If Jane Doe was Converge defining thier sound then YFM is them perfecting the formula)
Carissas Wierd - Songs About Leaving (slow-core, chamber pop, folk. Instrumentation includes electric & acoustic guitar, piano, violin, drums, and piano. The saddest sounding melodies/chord progressions I've ever heard & lyrics to match. The musical equivalent of being stabbed in the heart by someone and then saying they love you while they twist the knife)
Off Minor - Heat Death of The Universe (post hardcore, math rock, "screamo". Late 90's/early 00's post hardcore but with equal influences of grindcore and free jazz chaos. The interplay between the bass & drums is amazing, and they display the best control of dynamics (fast/slow, loud/soft) of any band I've ever heard)
Republic Of Dreams - S/T (post hardcore, hardcore, power violence, "screamo". Very similar to the Off Minor album but with a hefty does of dissonance & melodrama. Time signatures that don't make sense, chords that sound like nails on a chalkboard, blazing fast chaotic drumming)
The Mountain Goats - We Shall All Be Healed (folk, indie rock. John's vocals are very polarizing but he's one of the best & most prolific songwriters/lyricists of the modern era. Will eventually be regarded just as highly as Leonard Cohen, John Prine, Arlo Guthrie, etc. He's said that this album is the only truly autobiographical material he'd released at that point in time & it covers the heavy topic of his past drug addiction and the experiences he had during that time in his life)
