5+ y ago27:24

27:24

The niche sub-genre of metalcore has quietly built a dedicated fanbase over the past 20 years. With a sound world that is complex, dense and industrial in nature, it’s often kind of impenetrable or off-putting to those who aren’t fans—but there is much worth listening to.

In fact, if a cover or remake of a song is successful enough, the original version is supplanted in popular imagination.In this episode, we give a listen to eight terrific songs, ea…
