Hardcore recommendations?

Anyone know of any decent hardcore bands worth getting into? The only hardcore act I really listen to and know a little bit of is Integrity.

Hardcore is a term that has changed meaning over the years but this what I consider to be hardcore









Some will argue that the last one is crossover but there is absolutely no metal on that record.

If you like Integrity:



Though both have always played a more metal-meets-hardcore style. Why no one coined metalcore for these kinds of bands is beyond me. Anyway, here's a cut from one of my all-time favorite albums:



And they're still kicking ass. This is from their latest album from last year:



And here are some more obscure bands I really dig:

















"Element." One of the best screams you'll ever hear.

Oh, and one more (not that anyone will listen to any of these videos). A friend's band. This EP just came out, and you can download it for free here: http://www.fav.stereokiller.com

Madball,Death Before Dishonor, Terror,Agnostic Front,The Crucified,D.R.I,Dead Kennedy's ,to name a few.

Get Corrosion Of Conformity's Eye For An Eye. And any early Bad Brains too.

...and "Animosity" too.

Sandy Duncan's Eye

The Strongarm recommendation is right on.  Shai Hulud is another band that has a similar sound (both bands influenced each other and played together quite a bit back in the 90s)

Here's my favorite song from Strongarm's second album (different vocalist):

Listening to a lot of these right now. Lots I like, others I'm impartial to, but overall, I really like everything I hear. I don't flat-out dislike anything on the list so far. Thanks! \m/

Aw, shit! I thought I recognized the vocalist!



    

Right now is the most interesting time for hardcore since the mid 90's I would say. Some really interesting bands have been coming up the last few years like Dead end path, Agitator, Trapped under ice etc. Heres some of my favorates..

Saw Ringworm open for Voi Vod last year. Instant fanboy. Liked them 20 years ago, then completely forgot about them.
