5. Hatebreed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBwgX8yBqsw Now, Hatebreed will most certainly be a name common to anyone who has a interest in music that falls under the heavier side of the musical spectrum. Hatebreed are one of hardcore's biggest names, and just like most bands that play hardcore, Hatebreed's style is simple but devastatingly effective; massive riffs, consistent drumming and a frontman so energetic it's like Jamey Jasta downed litres of Red Bull and is experiencing a consistent sugar rush! Whilst Hatebreed are as about as hardcore as it gets, it's rather unusual they are so well known in the metal scene. This is largely due to the band making leaps and bounds in gaining fans through successful tours with Slayer, Napalm Death and so forth as well as proving naysayers wrong with outstanding performances at Bloodstock Festival in the UK. With an extensive back catalogue full of absolute bangers, like Live For This, Destroy Everything and In Ashes They Shall Reap for example, Hatebreed are absolutely essential for any hardcore fan. Prepare for the rise of brutality!
