Miss May I
Miss May I are a metalcore band from Troy, Ohio. They started out in 2006 and have only made 2 full length studio albums to date. Those albums are called "Apologies Are for the Week" and "Monument".
Miss May I as a band started when they were all 16 in 2006 making them a very young and upcoming band soon to be massive. Before they released there 2 studio albums in 2009 and 2010 they released an EP consisting of 5 tracks back in 2006 called "Vows for a Massacre".
Apologies Are for the Week - 2009
This was their first full length album which held the well known tracks "Tides" and "Forgive and Forget". A short time after self releasing this album the band got signed to Rise Records. This was the last release with the bassist Josh Gillespie, they later returned to their original bassist and back up vocalist Ryan Neff.
I like the songs "Porcelain Wings" and "Forgive and Forget" off this album, they are very similiar to The Devil Wears Prada in the aspect of the heavy metalcore feel but with very melodic clean vocals.
Monument - 2010
This was there second full length studio album to date, holding the well known tracks "Relentless Chaos" and "Our Kings". The bass and clean vocals are performed by Ryan Neff on this album. They recorded a video of the song "Relentless Chaos" in Mansfield Prison and sooner released the video on youtube just before the album was released. My two favourite tracks on this album are "Relentless Chaos" and "Gears", "In Recognition" was also a very good track, this track was a more melodic metal ballad just like The Devil Wears Prada's "Louder Than Thunder".
The Band Members consist of :
I've only recently started listning to Miss May I, but i've noticed that most of their songs and their style resemble that of The Devil Wears Prada's. Even in some of Miss May I's songs the riff patterns are the same, almost identical.
I have not yet seen Miss May I live due to i've only recently started listning to them, but i would love to go and watch them live if they ever tour in the UK. Their songs are so brutal yet melodic. A statement that i've always said and has proved to be very very true is; "To like a band, you MUST like their vocalist", yet again i've proved my own statement true, I love their vocalist Levi Benton thus i love the band Miss May I too...

As I Lay Dying
As I Lay Dying are a metalcore band from San Diego, California. The band was created back in 2000 by lead singer Tim Lambesis and drummer Jordan Mancino. The band members are all christian making the band a christian band, they have 4 albums to date.
http://www.asilaydying.com/
The band Consists of 5 members:
My favourite album to date has got to be An ocean lay between us, with it being the most melodic of all the albums. It also contains my favourite song by As I Lay Dying, Forsaken.
An Ocean Lay Between Us was recorded while AILD were under the label of Metal Blade.
The Lead Guitarist from Nick Hipa from Finland had this to say about the album,
"Collectively we've all pushed ourselves, and we're all doing things that we weren't even capable of doing on the last record. And on top of just experimenting and trying different things, I think we just wrote some pretty sick jams, so I'm happy with it. That's all I can say. For kids who like our band and think they know what to expect from us, it might throw them off a little bit . . . I encourage anybody who likes our band to approach this album with an open mind."
If your a fanof metalcore you DEFINATELY should be a fan of As I Lay Dying...
