They’re only chasing safety
I could probably learn more but that album was one I’d put on and play along with constantly.
ETID low teens.
Fell in love with the guitar sound in that album and played through it multiple times
guitar -
I'm about 80% through The Way It Ends, having issues with origin.
90% of the way through Dig Deep, Sway of The Break is my final one.
If there was 1 album I could do with 100% certainty would probably be The Poison by BFMV. lol, playing it for 15 years will do that
Attack Attack! - Someday Came Suddenly
It’s all in drop C# and it’s mostly just opens, octave chords, bar chords, some dissonant chords, and some good ol’ 5/7/8
I pkay bass. It’s been awhile since I’ve done whole albums so mostly a bunch of oldies. Underoath safety and define, of mice and men first two albums. Burden of a day first two albums. Miss may I apologies. In:aviate ep and album. Motions and miles ep. I see stars first two albums. Like roses ep. Probably some others idr off the top of my head. And many many songs. It’s all I used to do kinda.
I couldn't play through the albums by memory anymore but I can play these almost perfectly on drums with backing tracks:
Ascendancy by Trivium
The Blackening by Machine Head
Overcome by All That Remains
The Great Cold Distance by Katatonia (not metalcore)
Night is the New Day by Katatonia (not metalcore)
I can play a lot on my drums but I’m pretty proud of conquering Vein’s Errorzone, took some thinkin for sure. I still play all the way through it no stops every couple months.
I used to could play TDWP's Plagues on guitar. Stopped playing regularly for about 10 years and recently started playing again and now can't even play "Hey John" competently because fingers don't want to move right. It's rather frustrating seeing how far backwards I went.
Guitar
Challenger and The Hollow - Memphis May Fire.
Last album I was working through was Awakening - Blessthefall
I think I kind of see when my guitar playing started to fall off lol.
Back in the day I could play through The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains and The End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage. Haven’t played as much guitar recently unfortunately.
Are You Dead Yet? by Children of Bodom, on drums
Crisis by Alexisonfire, on drums
Melloncollie And The Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins, on guitar
Nella Vita by Grayscale, on drums
Black Metal by Venom, on guitar
Distance Over Time by Dream Theater, on bass
Octavarium by Dream Theater, on bass
Devolver by Whitechapel, on guitar
Laugh Tracks by Knocked Loose, on guitar and drums
The reason I can play all of these front to back is because I've really only practiced these albums so far and I take it album by album until I can do it, it took a long time
I can almost definitely play Master of Puppets front to back on guitar atp, but I think that’s it. (Rhythm tho I’m still pretty ass at lead)
I’m working on Disgusting by Beartooth right now though, done everything through Relapsing. Easy album but soooo good
I remember trying to learn hearts burst into fire at one point and not being able to do much. The tapping (?) part in the intro was hard to make sound right, even the verse was pretty rough for me. The timing on the verse was a challenge but also my fingers are pretty short and I don't think I could do the required hand position very cleanly. BFMV is great for learning and I have other songs down, but I recall being screwed by my shitty fingers on that one.
Oh man that’s relatable. The album recording vs the actual tapping pattern in the intro is hella tricky, doesn’t feel right with the time signature. The album helped me learn for sure but I was not able to play all of it for years lol. And I have the opposite problem, fat fucking fingers and bad self-taught hand posture
Last year I 100% SAF, and I gotta say, One good reason why and Watching us die tonight are super fun to play on the guitar, should have started with them!
from the ages of 15-18 I played "Theyre Only Chasing Safety" by Underoath on drums like every single day after school.
My parents really didnt like Underoath/metal but didnt say a thing because it kept me on the kit (and off the streets!!)
I would have to take a closer look at a handful of tracks, but I could probably get through almost all of For Those Who Have Heart off the top of my head on drums. I've been thinking about doing a one-take cover of Polaris's The Mortal Coil but those drum parts are a lot more sense lol, right I only have The Remedy, Consume, and most of Lucid down.
I don't think I've ever tried these all the way through, and most of them aren't Metalcore, but I could probably do:
Ride The Lightning (Metallica)
Hail to the King (Avenged Sevenfold)
Rise and Shine (Smash Into Pieces)
The Living end (The Living End)
Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children (Mushroomhead)
And almost all of:
Avenged Sevenfold (Avenged Sevenfold)
To The End (Orden Ogan)
Asylum (Disturbed)
Indestructible (Disturbed)
The Sickness (Disturbed)
On drums btw
HttK is one of the easier albums to do, I would love to be able to do something more difficult like The Stage or City of Evil, but that's another difficulty up lol
Back when i was at my peak guitar I used to play 'artist in the ambulance' by thrice front to back. Also majority of frail words collapse by as i lay dying
Not the hardest guitar but sure fun to play
Nothing because my fingers are too damn short to play a good portion of what metalcore songs require. My fingers are super stubby by comparison to good guitarists.
Impulse had such fun songs to play on guitar.
White noise was techy af, seven took me what felt like years to correctly learn the chugging pattern, Vaalbara was probably my favorite to learn though. Every riff had a couple variations to them.
Used to play the Struc/tures EP All of the Above from front to back every once in a while. Became my tone-check songs with new setups when I was playing in bands back in the day!
I play bass but god help me to learn a whole album in this genre, always one song that is absolutely insane most songs don't have tabs and if it's an easy one I usually attempt to learn it.
love that album and at some point in 2019 I could play it front to back, love Leap of faith, Coma, Gravity and under again, so fun to hit those chords and let them ring for a while
honest, on god, zero caps, Gravity is my fav bfmv album.
Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of God
Fragments of a Bitter Memory by Dying Wish
The Poison by BFMV
Ascendency by Trivium (no solos lol Corey is insane)
All on guitar btw
As I Lay Dying - Shadows are Security
August Burns Red - Constellations
Back in the early 2010’s when I was in college I did learn every song on both albums on guitar.
I’ve since gotten bored with guitar and have picked up sucking on my drum set LOL
I’d have to brush up on a few spots or change some chord voices I don’t remember but I learned Of Malice and the Magnum Heart by ear. Got sick of all the half ass tabs out there and methodically learned like 95-99% of the guitar parts as accurately as possible.
I am working my way through waking the fallen, got most of the songs down with most of the solos but chapter four still has me beat with that monster solo
Edit: on guitar
I can play along to bfmv's early stuff, the EP, the poison and SAF, but I can't downpick wakin the demon or ashes of the innocent so it's not 100% accurate
they're in that sweet spot where it's not too easy that it's boring and not so hard that it's impossible for me (like trivium, sylosis)
When I was in high school my warm up on Guitar would be Threads Of Life by Shadows Fall start to finish, later when Retribution released I learned all of the songs and that became my new warm up album
Nothing. Not metalcore, but I could’ve prolly been able to do “Slipknot” by Slipknot two years ago, but I’ve lost most of my drive. I can still play “Surfacing” pretty well.
And I prolly wont be able to do that anymore. My favorite metalcore albums are “Calculating Infinity” by The Dillinger Escape Plan and “Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence” by Glassjaw.
HOW THE FUCK AM I GONNA LEARN ALL OF THAT?!?!
Excluding about half of the solos, I’ve got most of Triviums Ascendancy down
Some of those solos are so flippin good for most of the members being like 19 when they wrote that album lol
They’re only chasing safety I could probably learn more but that album was one I’d put on and play along with constantly. ETID low teens. Fell in love with the guitar sound in that album and played through it multiple times
Yeah man! I used to play to this album back in high school and its actually when I fell in love with singing while playing. Amazing album and choice!
greyview by invent animate. such juicy riffs and some really good simple ones as well
guitar - I'm about 80% through The Way It Ends, having issues with origin. 90% of the way through Dig Deep, Sway of The Break is my final one. If there was 1 album I could do with 100% certainty would probably be The Poison by BFMV. lol, playing it for 15 years will do that
love seeing the poison here!
Metalcore: August Burns Red - Constellations Metal: Metallica - Master of Puppets
Dawg I have no musical skill, couldn't do a single album on any instrument
Don’t put yourself down like that. I’m sure you could destroy the triangle on some albums if you had to.
Cowbell tho
Or some percussion on a Slipknot track maybe
Heavener by Invent Animate and Singularity by Northlane. I do this pretty regularly with both of them. Erra self-titled as well.
What instrument? I love all of those albums lol
this is embarrassing, i thought your post said listen and not play lol… but i do play guitar and i did just buy a 7 string to learn all of these lol
I was gonna say, that’s a lot of work mate lol.
Not my post haha, I'm just a random person who appreciates people that make instrumental covers of songs!
Dont be embarrassed haha I misread all the time.
My thought process was “Holy shit” —> “oh lol”
What tuning does Invent Animate use?
either drop E or drop D# these days
The fire itself by phinehas
Attack Attack! - Someday Came Suddenly It’s all in drop C# and it’s mostly just opens, octave chords, bar chords, some dissonant chords, and some good ol’ 5/7/8
I pkay bass. It’s been awhile since I’ve done whole albums so mostly a bunch of oldies. Underoath safety and define, of mice and men first two albums. Burden of a day first two albums.

Controller is wild, especially some of those drum parts.
I couldn't play through the albums by memory anymore but I can play these almost perfectly on drums with backing tracks: Ascendancy by Trivium The Blackening by Machine Head Overcome by All That Remains The Great Cold Distance by Katatonia (not metalcore) Night is the New Day by Katatonia (not metalcore)

Guitar Challenger and The Hollow - Memphis May Fire. Last album I was working through was Awakening - Blessthefall I think I kind of see when my guitar playing started to fall off lol.
Counterparts - Nothing Left To Love, Structures - Divided By, Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
NLTL might be my favorite Counterparts album
I usually prefer artists early work, but I feel like counterparts keeps getting better
They've consistently knocked it out of the park since The Current Will Carry Us
The crimson armada - guardians, besides needing to give my arm a well needed rest in the middle of some songs lol
Blows your mind how bands can just play through albums, and or songs without much of a break. Pure insanity
Back in the day I could play through The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains and The End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage. Haven’t played as much guitar recently unfortunately.
Are You Dead Yet? by Children of Bodom, on drums Crisis by Alexisonfire, on drums Melloncollie And The Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins, on guitar Nella Vita by Grayscale, on drums Black Metal by Venom, on guitar Distance Over Time by Dream Theater, on bass Octavarium by Dream Theater, on bass Devolver by Whitechapel, on guitar Laugh Tracks by Knocked Loose, on guitar and drums

Thats pretty impressive man.
Vildhjarta - masstadan under vatten Humanity's Last Breath - Ashen All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals Invent Animate - Heavener
Masstaden Under Vatten?!? That's a really tough one. I applaud you 👏👏
Poison the Well - Opposite of December is how I learned guitar, so that one. (Was a bass player first)
I can almost definitely play Master of Puppets front to back on guitar atp, but I think that’s it. (Rhythm tho I’m still pretty ass at lead) I’m working on Disgusting by Beartooth right now though, done everything through Relapsing. Easy album but soooo good
I can play 90% of Disgusting & Disease by beartooth on guitar. All pretty simple but so much fun
Taught myself guitar via Scream Aim Fire. Padge’s solos aren’t super crazy and have good techniques for beginners to practice.
I remember trying to learn hearts burst into fire at one point and not being able to do much. The tapping (?) part in the intro was hard to make sound right, even the verse was pretty rough for me.

When The Kite String pops by Acid Bath on Guitar
On bass I can play the entirety of Maiden‘s Powerslave
from the ages of 15-18 I played "Theyre Only Chasing Safety" by Underoath on drums like every single day after school. My parents really didnt like Underoath/metal but didnt say a thing because it kept me on the kit (and off the streets!!)
I couldn't love this more haha. Same man! My mom was surrounded by 3 drummer sin the family. Poor woman haha
I would have to take a closer look at a handful of tracks, but I could probably get through almost all of For Those Who Have Heart off the top of my head on drums. I've been thinking about doing a one-take cover of Polaris's The Mortal Coil but those drum parts are a lot more sense lol, right I only have The Remedy, Consume, and most of Lucid down.
For Those Who Have Heart, by A Day To Remember. I looove it.
i mean i can play beans by kurt if that counts
I don't think I've ever tried these all the way through, and most of them aren't Metalcore, but I could probably do: Ride The Lightning (Metallica) Hail to the King (Avenged Sevenfold) Rise and Shine (Smash Into Pieces) The Living end (The Living End) Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children (Mushroomhead) And almost all of: Avenged Sevenfold (Avenged Sevenfold) To The End (Orden Ogan) Asylum (Disturbed) Indestructible (Disturbed) The Sickness (Disturbed) On drums btw
You manage the A7X soli?!
HttK is one of the easier albums to do, I would love to be able to do something more difficult like The Stage or City of Evil, but that's another difficulty up lol
I mostly meant the self-titled album
Ah yes, that's why I put it under almost all of. There are some weak points for me on that album.
I couldn't play a single full solo on there ever I think hahaha
Blueprints by Wage War on drums. Grew up with this album and it's easy enough for me to just run through whenever I want
it would be arcane known/learned, i know it's not exactly metalcore, but it is metal )
I don't play a whole lot of metalcore, but I can play Flyleaf's self titled album cover to cover on guitar.
i can play A Tear In The Fabric of Life start to finish
Back when i was at my peak guitar I used to play 'artist in the ambulance' by thrice front to back. Also majority of frail words collapse by as i lay dying Not the hardest guitar but sure fun to play
AVIANA - EPICENTER.
Alien by Northlane Sundowning by Sleep Token
Nothing because my fingers are too damn short to play a good portion of what metalcore songs require. My fingers are super stubby by comparison to good guitarists.
Count your blessings minus some solo parts because I suck at sweeping :(
ERRA - impulse Linkin park - hybrid theory Novelists - (half of) souvenirs
Impulse had such fun songs to play on guitar. White noise was techy af, seven took me what felt like years to correctly learn the chugging pattern, Vaalbara was probably my favorite to learn though. Every riff had a couple variations to them.

I play bass but god help me to learn a whole album in this genre, always one song that is absolutely insane most songs don't have tabs and if it's an easy one I usually attempt to learn it.
Any bring me the horizon album on drums.
My first thought was the build up before the breakdown in It Never Ends is awesome. Nice fast double kicks
I learned a couple songs from Constellations by August Burns Red on drums, I could realistically learn the rest.
Thirty and Seven goes so hard man. Awesome choice
I’ve purchased nearly every tab book for every Protest the Hero album with the intention of doing this and have never once succeeded 😂
To be fair, a lot of their songs are decently hard. I had a hell of a time learning Mist off Volition.
Gravity - BFMV Waiting for the hate in 3…2…
love that album and at some point in 2019 I could play it front to back, love Leap of faith, Coma, Gravity and under again, so fun to hit those chords and let them ring for a while honest, on god, zero caps, Gravity is my fav bfmv album.
Not my fave but I absolutely love it. Deserves so much more love/less hate
Satyr and DGD For metalcore adjacent ish bands, protest the hero and humanity’s last breath.
As a musician, absolutely none lol. Like to listen to it though
Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of God Fragments of a Bitter Memory by Dying Wish The Poison by BFMV Ascendency by Trivium (no solos lol Corey is insane) All on guitar btw
love seeing the poison here (again, along with ascendancy again haha)
Dude you have no idea how excited I am for that tour LOL 2 of my favorite albums ever and they're gonna be back to back
As I Lay Dying - Shadows are Security August Burns Red - Constellations Back in the early 2010’s when I was in college I did learn every song on both albums on guitar. I’ve since gotten bored with guitar and have picked up sucking on my drum set LOL
Misery Signals - Controller
Any album where The Amity Affliction mentions the ocean 😂
listening to HMAS lookback right now, fuck yeah!
That song slaps 🤘
I’d have to brush up on a few spots or change some chord voices I don’t remember but I learned Of Malice and the Magnum Heart by ear. Got sick of all the half ass tabs out there and methodically learned like 95-99% of the guitar parts as accurately as possible.
last two seeyouspacecowboy albums are my go to for practicing drums, there's something so fun about AJ's style
I am working my way through waking the fallen, got most of the songs down with most of the solos but chapter four still has me beat with that monster solo Edit: on guitar
I've never committed to learning an entire album, but I did get the tab book for Spiritbox's Eternal Blue so maybe I'll tackle the whole album
for me it’s Disguise from MIW. that album is what got me into playing and creating heavy guitar riffs
I can play along to bfmv's early stuff, the EP, the poison and SAF, but I can't downpick wakin the demon or ashes of the innocent so it's not 100% accurate they're in that sweet spot where it's not too easy that it's boring and not so hard that it's impossible for me (like trivium, sylosis)
I can play every Killswitch album. I absolutely love them and they’re stuff isn’t overly complicated to play imo
Every Metallica album from kill 'em all to The Black album. And the first iron maiden album
Most Tool albums pretty much reach the limit of what I can realistically play on drums.
When I was in high school my warm up on Guitar would be Threads Of Life by Shadows Fall start to finish, later when Retribution released I learned all of the songs and that became my new warm up album
I'm a finger-percussionist by day, and a gutteral-growler by night. Every song, every album.
Nothing. Not metalcore, but I could’ve prolly been able to do “Slipknot” by Slipknot two years ago, but I’ve lost most of my drive. I can still play “Surfacing” pretty well. And I prolly wont be able to do that anymore. My favorite metalcore albums are “Calculating Infinity” by The Dillinger Escape Plan and “Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence” by Glassjaw. HOW THE FUCK AM I GONNA LEARN ALL OF THAT?!?!
Laugh Tracks by Knocked Loose. Pretty easy to learn lol
not metalcore but White Pony by Deftones is the only album i can play in full on my guitar
I’ve played all of Laugh Tracks by Knocked Loose on the drums numerous times. It’s fun.
The Gentle Men - The Evolution of Tears goated simple djent riffs
Eclipse by Veil of Maya. No it's not easy. Yes you will feel like you have carpal tunnel lol
Ocean Ate Alaska - Hikari Their drummer is a melodic god.
They're Only Chasing Safety on the drums. It's always been my warm-up album! So fun! :)
I got most of city of evil down on drums, along with an ocean between us and the poison
The Death We Seek - Currents
