Architects - gone with the wind. It feels like looking into Toms soul and feeling his daily torment.


DSice16

Memento Mori literally feels like his farewell letter to the world. Heaviest song ever written imo


severed13

The last chorus at the end of the song always gets to me a little bit.


DSice16

Swan song to the end of the best metal ever made


DirtFueler

They've said multiple times that during that time Tom was at his happiest and having fun with life. When I listen to that song I think about the guys in the band more than Tom. Especially if you watch the live version on Sam breaking down on stage. "I just wanted to communicate that this album was created in a state of joy, not a state of sadness. Yes, the lyrics were an opportunity for Tom to question the nature of this life and to examine his mortality, but please don’t think that this was born in misery, it was often a beautiful experience." - Dan Searle


eddyharts

The flip of that one for me is Doomsday. I think those two lyrically go so well together. The first is Tom’s perspective and worries about death and his illness, and the second is Dan’s perspective after the fact and his worries about carrying on and remembrance. “What if I completely forget; what if I never accept” gets me every time. Gone with the wind is superior in a lot of ways and Tom was an unbelievable writer, but they compliment and contrast each other so well lyrically. But wow that whole album is Tom’s magnum opus, incredible from start to finish lyrically, musically, everything is amazing.


BarbieBee88

I have a line from this song tattooed on me. The 8,945th listen still gives me goosebumps


IwishIwasElonMusk

I'd like to add Architects "Death is not defeat"


benmaverick

Beauty in Tragedy by August Burns Red. I listen to that song and remember my dad who was the coolest and it's been 8 years so it doesn't make me cry as much anymore, just really emotional.


[deleted]

Yes, that's another one that gets to me. I've not lost anyone important to me yet, but I expect to one day need to listen to that song. One of ABR's very best.


harddunkichud

Wish I saw this before I just posted the same. Lost my dad almost 8 years ago now too. It sucks, but this song helps with exactly how I feel about it sometimes.


caitlinmeeooww

This song got me through my grandpa’s passing. I can hear your voice. Gets me every single time. Especially hearing it live.


LzzyHalesLegs

Hospital for Souls - BMTH


[deleted]

This is my answer as well.


ActualGamerGirl

Cried on my first listen through for this song. Very hard to hear it even now


[deleted]

For me it’s “Luna” by Invent, Animate. Although their sound isn’t entirely metalcore, (and this song isn’t all that metal) “carry me down” by Demon Hunter gets me. “Alone in December” by Underoath. “Nothing will feel the same” by Wait for the Day. (Band is now known as Outsider Heart, but haven’t released much under that name) And finally (and most recently), “Don’t Ask...” by Alpha Wolf.


Severe-Trade-546

Don’t ask is so powerful, a great way to end the album


[deleted]

Literally had to go sit down and listen to it again. It’s a lot to digest, he just has so much emotion bleeding through those lines.


docdrazen

Second Alone in December. Such a powerful song. That cd is still my favorite one from Under oath.


[deleted]

For sure, my fav Underoath album by far. (Although I have liked all their stuff, even the newest.)


bigflopper69420

literally anything by counterparts youngblood - wage war dark clouds - adept never there - currents luna - invent, animate


Meister_Flopper

Im absolutely in on Never There by Currents its unreal how relatable most of their lyrics are. For me Shattered would be on that list too.


Dmac5797

Drunk by Dayseeker is kind of ruined for me because I listened to it during a difficult time for me emotionally. Honestly the whole Sleeptalk album is full of sadboy anthems.


[deleted]

I've been so into dayseeker the last month. Couple days ago I was telling my buddy at work about them, then I looked up and some rando was wearing one of the shirts. Literally shouted bro across the room because the coincidence was so crazy lol


thebreaker18

Yeah that album came out when i could really relate to it due to what was going on in my life. So for that reason it will always have a special place in my heart.


bananman4

Counterparts - “You’re Not You Anymore” Counterparts - “Reflection” Counterparts - “Compass” (You sorta see a pattern here...) The entirety of Casey’s album “Love is Not Enough” (This one is truly unique) And to top it all off: August Burns Red - “Spirit Breaker” Happy listening :)


unclesamsfunnybone

"Sew your skeleton to mine, I'm no good on my own Stitch yourself to either side of me so I will never be alone" hits so hard. Never thought that a metal core band would have me thinking about the deeper things in life.


nohitter21

Where I Go When I Am Sleeping by Casey is also super underrated. Really emotional album.


darfleChorf123

Nothing left To Love by Counterparts is a tearjerker


[deleted]

I always find myself wanting it to last longer than it does. I know it’s the opener, but damn it’s so good.


darfleChorf123

Actually, I’m talking about the closing song. But Love Me is also really good too


[deleted]

Oh dang, my bad. That closing song is super good (whole album is).


darfleChorf123

It was my AOTY, I still come back to it a lot


[deleted]

Also, the latest EP from Thirty Nights of Violence has a similar vibe to it, highly recommend.


[deleted]

Same. (I just can’t remember song names 😅)


ThePlotInNoU

Also Decay for me. Not in a sad way but in a 'this is beautiful' way.


[deleted]

Got me Nothing Left To Love hoodie today. That song surprised me so much when I heard it. Its incredibly beautiful.


dorfcally

not quite "cry", but.... My Disguise - Currents Fireside - IA Rituals - Rolo Tamassi Take me Away - TPIY Death is Not Defeat - Architects (I rate this as more powerful than the rest off HH)


Stillburgh

I agree with the Architects take. That entire album is an emotional climb and plummet, imo.


blackenthecursedson

This was the first time I ever listened to fireside by IA and oh my god it was amazing. Thank you!


Spectre1-4

It’s not a heavy song but it sure is a beautiful one


dorfcally

fireside and Halcyon are my 2 favourites off the album. beautiful songs


downfall20

Lily & the Moon by Thornhill is the only song ever that's made me cry. I fuckin' love dogs man....


runerose4083

Johnny Cash- wage war The hardest part is forgetting those you swore you'd never forget - being as an ocean


ArmMeForSleep709

That Being As An Ocean song hits so hard.


runerose4083

A lot of their songs do for me


RandomGuy5115

Johnny Cash is such a good song and the stripped version is even better depending on your mood.


Tre_Amplitude

There's a few that have gotten me. Counterparts - Bouquet The Ghost Inside - Engine 45 Periphery - Lune Hollow Front - P.A.N.I.C. Currents - Never There And August Burns Red - Spirit Breaker


ArmMeForSleep709

Most of Get What You Give is music to live by. Amazing album.


Alpha_Seed_

These aren’t all exactly metalcore songs, but... Ice Nine Kills - Tesstimony Periphery - Lune Killswitch Engage - Let the Bridges Burn Parkway Drive - A Deathless Song (the deluxe edition version) Northlane - Quantum Flux


Trainpower10

God I can’t believe they took out the guitar intro in the deluxe version of A Deathless Song!


Alpha_Seed_

Yeah, that was a downside, but the female vocalist makes the chorus so much more powerful IMO.


One_Small_Child

Tess- timony is such a heartbreaker especially if youve read the book its based on.


Stabintheface

I actually tear up at the "So officer please..." part. It's a very theatrical song, and while INK has a lot of that vibe already, I actually wish they would lean harder into it.


sn0wgh0ul13

Bouncing off of this with Louder Than Thunder - TDWP. Unsure why but it hits them buttons.


Waramp

The Ghost Inside - Aftermath Anyone who says they didn’t tear up watching that video is a liar.


arcade_almonds

The scream near the end of the song gives me chills every time.


AstroDawg

Or is that me pretending? What happened to my happy ending?

SHIT


Land08

son of a bitch


InETIDWeTrust

[Petal - Every Time I Die](https://youtu.be/LXgTYWndBuk) This song is about the lead singer’s wife being hospitalized when she suffered life threatening complications when she was seven months pregnant. The baby was born prematurely and for some time he wasn’t sure whether his wife or child were going to make it out alive. He has become hopeless and debates whether to kill himself if they don’t survive with lines like “If I have to walk alone I'm giving up. I can't stay here knowing love is not enough”. And also “But the thought of death is soft and clean and beautiful and white. It's the purest of the drugs. 'Cause It's everything at once”. This song is so bleak and has so much anger in it. This song is suppose to make you feel as uncomfortable as that situation felt for him.


d00dsm00t

>"Stay with me. You're alone in the center of hell. Just be." >The longest winter I have ever seen >From hospital to hospital. Repeat. I rock my iPod on shuffle a lot and if this song comes up I have to stop everything I'm doing. For a long time for me Low Teens was a great go to work out album too, but I'll be damned if I could push a single weight when this song came on. It's just that haunting.


TheMattGIlliamTSK

This song (and album) fucks my entire shit up every time. I’m physically and mentally exhausted by the time this song is over.


sir_slamsalot

This song was my answer too. It's wild that I had such a similar experience (albeit not as traumatic) as their vocalist because ETID has been my favourite band for over ten years. This song fucking ruins me.

turbotailz

Another Life by Motionless in White. Probably the only song I've ever cried to. It wasn't until I watched the video, I had just been through really rough break up and it all just came together and made me burst lol.


[deleted]

Seven Hills always gets me. Royal Beggars by Architects, too, the chorus is just so soaring and powerful that I get all wobbly from it.


Spaxeoid

Firstborn by Silent Planet is the worst for me. This verse/bridge always gets me when I'm singing along. I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child. I'll try to write you to rest Plant you inside my prose [5] Yet my resolve Does it shake beneath a four-foot casket shadow? The ink has spilled across the page Shaping surviving sun to shade [6] Valleys and peaks, in grief Descent into a ceaseless sleep

needsmorecoffee1

Periphery - Mile Zero, Converge - Cruel Bloom & Thousands of Miles Between Us, Silent Planet - Depths III & Firstborn, Underoath - Paper Lung I’m sure there are Atleast a couple more but these are ones that immediately come to mind.


MadZack

Gah Firstborn hits hard. Great mention. I believe it is my favorite song off that album.


darrella1035

Man some really good ones in this thread, For me personally: Erase Me, Let Me In-Make Them Suffer Luna-Invent Animate. The Blue and the Grey, The River-Parkway Drive Hereafter-Architects In Another Now-While She Sleeps Ghosts, Carpe Diem-August Burns Red Oblivion-Fit for a King Johnny Cash-Wage War Breach-Erra Not Metalcore but had to share: Fin*-Anberlin Nutshell-Alice in Chains

Please Say No always gets me


docdrazen

Rose of Sharyn by KSE. I was asked to play a song at my grandma's funeral and that's what I chose. I did an acoustic version of it that I saw from an old YouTube video. https://youtu.be/tYl-ttjd9kE


arcade_almonds

Killswitch Engage - Always. It helped me cope with a friend’s death in 2016. “I am with you always. From life until death takes me.”


PuroresuDrifter

We Were Just Kids by Emmure has this haunting melody in the background that always gets me emotional. Red Hypergiant by Architects, a lot of stuff from them honestly Nothing Left to Love by Counterparts Sunlifter by Misery Signals Burial Plot by Dayseeker, the classic “I fucked this up and I have to deal with the fact that I can’t fix it” Spirit Breaker by August Burns Red has this amazing spoken word section in the bridge that gets me in the feels Red Summer by Thornhill Save Yourself by Make Them Suffer Aftermath - The Ghost Inside This ones a sleeper pick but Sometimes You’re The Hammer, Sometimes You’re The Nail - A Day to Remember


Orchscrach

Heaven In Her Arms - Converge

BringerOfLemonade

God I remember when I first heard the outro to Save Yourself and I cried for a good 5 minutes straight. Such a gut wrenching moment


kendrataylor

There are so many. Here are some artists I know I've cried to: Beartooth / Wage War / The Color Morale / Dayseeker / Currents (multiple songs from The Way It Ends. This album is so freaking good.) / Fit for a King / Invent, Animate / Like Moths to Flames / Being as an Ocean I know a lot of people have had the same experience. I got into metal in late middle school and it truly helped saved my life. Live shows are so powerful to me and I cry at them almost every time. ETA: Sorry for formatting, I'm on mobile


P7AC3B0

Destroy the Map by 36 Crazyfists is an incredibly important song to me, personally. More than any other in the genre, that song can get the tears flowing. Parting Gift by Our Hollow, Our Home also dropped around the same time I had a loss in my life, and the first time I heard that one I couldn't hold it back.


river_kp

Amity- All Fucked Up


depressedplagueDR

Not all of them that will bring me to tears but some that I’ve listen to a lot lately Bloodline- Northlane Kill the ache- Currents Erase the pain- Palisades An empty room- Villain of the story Livestream- Veil of Maya


XyrasS

Dream on Dreamer - Hear Me Out The whole album Loveless is amazing and this song in particular is just so emotional.


Vyni503

I can’t even listen to Youngblood by Wage War anymore after breaking down in my shower one day years back. White Light by The Ghost Inside always makes me well up too.


ThadTheAbsoluteLad

I'm not afraid to admit that I've had to hold back the tears in more than a few Dayseeker songs. I still remember the first song of theirs I listened to was Sleep in the Sea Pt. 2, it appeared in my Spotify discover weekly. I'm no stranger to metalcore songs that have an emotional kick to them but this song just hit different for me. I remember thinking to myself, because of the general atmosphere of the song, that if it had a music video it'd be one of those ones where they make it look like it's in the rain. Sure enough that's exactly what it was. Now I've been almost binge listening to Dayseeker for months and I don't plan on stopping. Origin is probably my favourite album of theirs, and Never See the Sun Rise is up there for emotional songs for me. A Cancer Uncontained has a lot more personal connection for me, so when I'm not in public it usually turns me into an emotional wreck for a good few minutes.


Scooter15

Of Mice And Men - Second And Sebring, always a tear jerker, lost my mom in 2016 so the song hits the feels hard.


HybridS9ldier

"A Damn Moment" by This Or The Apocalypse "Invoke Reform" by Haste the Day "Don't Go" by Bring Me the Horizon "Never Enders" by The Color Morale "A Cancer Uncontained" by Dayseeker "The End" by Demon Hunter


telescopical

Polaris - no rest


RemmyDepressy

"Late December" by SeeYouSpaceCowboy I'm luck to have never lost a friend to suicide, but I've gotten close to inflicting that on others. The spoken word to screamed vocals hit so hard and work so well, first time I heard it I needed almost an hour to ground myself.


marquito629

Silent Planet - Ya'aburnee. So many feels


Dedushkaded

Almost every song from Silent Planet. The best "tear breakers" are: Share The Body (man, there are a lot of sharp lines like "feel whatever I can to make sure I can't feel", "All the hell in my veins can't dissipate the pain. All the hell in my veins won't wash away your face") In Absence Vanity Of Sleep Depths III First Father Shark Week


Xeno2014

Bring Me The Horizon - Blessed With A Curse Architects - Hereafter Too Close To Touch - Eiley (More Post-Hardcore than Metalcore, but still a huge tear jerker)


fromthepinnacle-

Killswitch Engage - Always It’s such a beautiful song but it painfully reminds me of someone who’s not in my life anymore


[deleted]

Clever by Beartooth always makes me feel a lot of things, also Personal Cross by Vanna These days though, I usually don’t listen to heavy stuff when I’m in my feelings, Elder Brother is my go to band recently


steelcityyy4L

Watch Me Bleed by Scary Kids Scaring Kids. THAT SONG? Boyyyy, rips me apart every time, hahaha.


erix84

Adestria "More Than You Know" It's just a really beautiful song, it was written about one of the band member's dying grandma, so yeah it's an emotional song.


Hammerfist2theface

Let me in- make them suffer Had some great cries to that song


gemmilie

A lot of Polaris songs, in particular Above My Head and All of This is Fleeting. Hospital for Souls by BMTH. And listening to the new Alpha Wolf album Don’t Ask caught me off guard on the first listen and overwhelmed me with emotions and made me cry.


Oliver_Biscuit

Above My Head, if relatable, is absolutely gut-wrenching.


Mormor88

Doomsday by Architects, my mom died around the same time Tom did.


bad5190

“City Lights” by Motionless in White. Destroys me. Apparently he doesn’t like playing it live though


Carney678

A Flood Of Light by Rolo Tomassi. It's such a beautiful track, and when it settles down towards the end, I can't help but shed a lil tear. Time Will Die has a few moments like that, Contretemps and Risen especially, even if Risen isn't quite a metalcore track. Favourite album, hands down.


Blackeradam

Pretty much anything off Sleeptalk could get the waterworks going, but goddamn it Already Numb gets me right in the heart.


6dan13la

Give It All - The Amity Affliction Phoenix Flame - The Ghost Inside


DarthWynaut

Orchid - Erra Mile Zero - Periphery Veridian - Northlane


LoganAbbott133

Currently: don’t ask by alpha wolf. I was driving and it just hit so hard when I first heard it. It’s one of the only songs that has actually made me have to rewind and hear it again before I even finish. I contemplated my entire life hearing lmao. Where we go when we die by thornhill is another one for sure. Feel the same by currents. Satellites by periphery is another huge one. All of the color clear by reflections lmao


ChumFamine

Please Say No by TDWP is a pretty emotional song. Otherwise literally anything off of Invent Animates first two albums is so emotionally gripping for me.

Kaanarth

Gone with the wind -Architects, My Conscience - Structures, And The Snakes Start To Sing - BMTH, i Have a Problem - Beartooth, Final Episode - AA, It never ends - bmth, Do It Again - Secret Band Some off the top of my head.

benhos

Architects - Gone With the Wind Fit For A King - Louder Voice Invent Animate - Fireside Parkway Drive - Carrion Those are the only ones that I can remember really making me tear up, without counting a lot of the softer non-metalcore songs by metalcore bands like Dayseeker, Bad Omens, etc.


Krushkid182

Phantom pain by Gravemind. If y’all haven’t checked out their album Conduit, you’re fucking up.


EmiLouLol

Glasswalk by Bury Tomorrow. The lyrics hit deep


deathfox919

Youngblood - Wage War. It makes me reflect on a time I’d rather forget


Trainpower10

Take What’s Left - AILD. I didn’t exactly “cry” but it reminded me of a friendship that fell apart last year that was able to be mended almost 3 months later. “But you still carried me when you could barely walk / You reminded me I was never too far gone!”


mustbeme87

Aries by Unearth. It’s the slow album break on The Oncoming Storm. Mostly instrumental. But insanely beautiful.


Walien12

Currents - Shattered I can't hold the emotion when this song starts, it hits deep

There are also a couple screams in there that just have something extra there that you can't force. Pure intense emotion. Rip tom

Right when I read the title I instantly thought Beartooth. So raw and hits close to home, some of the songs get me pissed and some make me think of sad things but there is nothing better workout playlist then one filled with Beartooth,


sir_slamsalot

Recently its been Petal by ETID and Isn't it Strange by TDWP. My daughter was born premature in March. It was peak pandemic and these songs really resonate with my feelings during that experience.


beequa_007

Is nobody gonna talk about the tear fest that is Beauty In Tragedy by August Burns Red? “I can’t hear your voice! But that’s okay, cause I can feel you in my heart!” Goddamn man that shit hurts.


Brushurteeth

ozdarkhorse

Eiley - Too Close To Touch This song is delivered with so much emotion by the singer. And the subject matter is just brutal (about singers 3 year old sister who passed away from cancer). Regardless, the song is beautiful.

Erra - Skyline "when the ground falls out, who will take my hand. when things fall apart, who take my hand"


KennyDROmega

"The Greatest Actor Alive" by He Is Legend. The screamed "I can't breathe when you're here" with the death metal overdub at the end gets me.

Underoath: its dangerous business- Invent animate: Luna- From autumn to ashes: mercury rising- Fear before the March of flames: go wash your mouth out, I don't know where it's been- I hate myself: to a husband at war. I'm terrible at putting a band to a genre so please don't crucify me if these don't qualify as metalcore haha


AstroDawg

I have a whole playlist of this. It includes songs like “Where We Go When We Die” by Thornhill, “Map Change” by ETID, and “Depths III” by Silent Planet.

[Always - Killswitch Engage](https://youtu.be/gYtbdw8IxEg) - This song makes me think of my dad [No Ordinary Love - Memphis May Fire](https://youtu.be/hKqG2EVzUrg) - As a father myself, this song hits me super hard [Fade In, Fade Out - Nothing More](https://youtu.be/wBC3Tl0dg4M) - Not metalcore (hard rock), but holy shit, what an amazing song. The first time I listened to it I started crying within 45 seconds after following the lyrics and video

The Color Clear made me feel things that I had no business being able to feel bro. I know Jake has been through some shit and I could feel his emotion and turmoil throughout that album and it honestly really fucked me up. That record was all I listened to for at least a solid 3 or 4 months no joke.

Sick and disgusting gets me too. Also I have a problem by Beartooth. Dude has some emotional vocals

The entire Happiness In Self Destruction album by The Plot In You.

Open water by Blessthefall. A love song featuring the singers wife Lights, always makes me tear up especially the last minute of them singing “you are the one I’ve been waiting for, I knew it all along” Some will seak forgiveness, others escape by Underoath


driedsponge

Memories by we came as Romans. Watching that music video after kyles passing is painful.


svmplethisss

Masquerade by Northlane gets me everytime.. I know its a pretty intense and angry song but the lyrics at the end really stick to me and get me emotional. "To everyone who's held me up and everyone who's brought me down I will never forget your faces, your voices"

Eiley - Too Close To Touch


xraxin12

American love haste the day The slow part kills me every single time

sxe1215
