This is for you, Duncan.
Defeater are an intense emotional, melodic hardcore band with heartfelt lyrics and jumpy time signatures that hit you like a wave. It's a concept album (not too common in hardcore) about a man who grows up in an abusive home, kills his alcoholic father, runs away from home, returns to find his mother has overdosed and kills his own brother before confessing his sins... I'll leave the rest for you to find out... it's absolutely incredible.
Honestly, one of the top 10 hardcore albums of all time. The acoustic ending to "Prophet in Plain Clothes" is bonechilling. When I saw this band live, the singer started the set out with that same acoustic part before the band exploded into chaos.
Recommended songs:
Blessed Burden
Prophet in Plain Clothes
Cowardice
Forgiver Forgetter
Hell, the entire fucking album!
he clenched his fists, "what did she ever do to you, besides raise us by herself when you were too drunk to come through?"
