9. Last Night In Town 

“Completely tech. If you there is anyone that thinks gutter phenomenon is a better album your crazy. This album really showed off all of their talent. Although GP is great, the music in this cd is so tech and lyrics are some of his most pervasive.”

8. Ex Lives 

“Extremely angry music with phenomenal lyricism and vocal delivery. There are some parts of the album (like Typical Miracle) where Keith Buckley literally sounds like he is on the verge of tears. The biggest complaint I have is that it falls off towards the end, but tracks 1, 2, and 4-8 are all some of the band’s best work.”

7. From Parts Unknown 

“After listening to From Parts Unknown, I certainly haven’t turned into an ETID fanatic but I do seem to “get” them more than I once did. From Parts Unknown is a rare case of a band not taking themselves too seriously but also creating a brutal and aggressive sound. From Parts Unknown seems to be split up into that are more mathcore based and songs that lean into the band’s southern hardcore routes.”

6. Radical 

“When it comes to an ETID record this nine full-length for the legendary Buffalo metalcore band continues to show why they are a wrecking ball in the genre. The satirical yet potent and political lyrics continue to be a heavy highlight. The in-your-face screams and breakdowns are so potent and memorable you might just hit repeat again and again.”

5. Gutter Phenomenon 

“A rather smooth debut for a crazy ass Hardcore band. These guys are probably one of the best Hardcore bands of the decade and this album isn’t weak at all. Rather a nice add of Pop Punk Choruses every now and then with some good Hardcore screams and drums, though I do see the guitar leaning more to Metalcore so I’ll give people that much, but it still works well.”

4. Low Teens 

“This is an album that starts and finishes on its best songs (Fear and Trembling + Map Change are bangers), but it’s an enjoyable experience throughout. Blending heavy, dirty southern rock riffs and spunky metalcore aggression is a formula that’s very easy to get wrong (and create something that sounds frankly irritating) but there’s no part of this album where I ever feel like I’m not enjoying it.”

3. New Junk Aesthetic 

“New Junk Aesthetic, is leaps and bounds Everytime I Dies strongest album to date. Combining their seriously dry sense of humour with themes of death, longing, and desire to create their most enjoyable album to date. But also combining their more recent southern rock leanings with their metalcore roots to the greatest effect they have yet.”

2. Hot Damn! 

“Through and through, and with each repeated listen, this album delivers. Stands tall above nearly all metalcore today, which falters from excess in many cases. This is a fun, loud, invigorating headbanger. It’s a dirty, drunken, sloppy-tight barrage of gorgeous noise. The structuring is intricate yet crushing and bawdy, with just the right amount of sexy guitar twang bleeding through the oddly-timed crunches. The drums are creative and spot-fucking-on, providing perfect blast beats, punk drive and gut-wrenching breakdowns.”

1. The Big Dirty 

“The Big Dirty seems to take pleasure in eschewing what their peers embrace to the point of comedy. It seems that the word ‘metalcore’ seems to evoke images of heavy eyeliner, tight pants, and kids ninja-kicking to some terrible breakdown about one’s girlfriend breaking up with the singer. ETID seems to take great glee in bashing down these stereotypes, and I for one couldn’t be happier.”
