Wrench In The Works - Decrease/Increase

Genre: Metalcore / Hardcore

FFO: Trap Them, Converge, Blood Has Been Shed

Decrease/Increase is a big change in sound from Wrench's previous releases. The songs are more compressed, agressive and heavy, and less melodic and spacey. I really recommend checking this band out if you haven't yet.

Blood Has Been Shed - I Dwell On Thoughts Of You

Myspace

Genre: Metalcore/Hardcore/Mathcore

FFO: Overcast, 7 Angels 7 Plagues, Coalesce

This is BHBS's debut album from 1999. It's really fucking heavy, and really fucking good. BHBS was Howard, from Killswitch Engage, first band. I wish he stuck with BHBS, cause they were much better.

Emmanuel 7 - Machines In Routine

Genre: Hardcore/Metalcore

FFO: Wrench In The Works, Drowning Room

Emmanuel 7 was the band that came after Groundzero, and before Wrench In The Works in the early 2000's. They changed the name of the band from Groundzero to Emmanuel 7 after 9/11. They have a lot of Metalcore influence, but a lot of this album sounds more like rock and roll. it's a cool release, definitely worth checking out.

After Follow Through disbanded, Craig Mack started a Cleveland style hardcore band in vein of Integrity called Fear Tomorrow. The band only lasted about a year, but put out a good amount of material.

This band eventually became Living Hell, and a few Fear Tomorrow songs have been re-recorded and released under Living Hell.
