From its roots in hardcore to the polished melodic approach of modern executions, metalcore undoubtedly has distinct stylistic chapters through the subgenre’s years of evolution. In the early 2000’s, the metalcore scene was led by acts such as Killswitch Engage and Trivium, characteristically defined by an even angrier, yet accessible take on classic heavy metal. A new project from India revives that 2004 sound in a fresh 2024 skin.
Here Before is fronted by Ravneet Singh (Demigod, Elixirore) alongside guitarists Gunjan Soral and Dushyant Yadav (Demigod) as well as drummer Ayush Sharma (ex-Demigod). Their debut single “Rise” provokes the duality of the aforementioned Killswitch Engage and Breaking Benjaminesque radiocore production.
Watch their new video, directed by Shubhankar Raina and Gunjan Soral.
