[Name Your Price Download // http://missilesofoctober.bandcamp.com/album/dont-panic-2014]
This is available as a CD or LP as well as a digital download but whatever medium you choose to listen to it on you must play these songs LOUD. This is a cross between Motorhead, Rise Against and We Were Promised Jet Packs. It's that mix of older AFI with Mudhoney as it is heavily distorted and very much on the verge of metal.
I'm not sure if I'd consider it a pure sense of metal, though it does tend to lean that way, but there are those elements as well of hardcore. As much as this is A Perfect Murder it can be Sick Of It All or Suicidal Tendencies.
Perhaps one of my biggest problems with this genre of music that combines metal and hardcore is that too many bands in it end up sounding the same and they all just sort of blend together. The good bands- the best ones in this genre- always find a way to stand out. Missiles of October has found that way to stand out and if I had to pinpoint what it is exactly that makes them stand out to me it's just that this music is so raw.
