It's 'core time again for your Saturday song, this time from a band I've written about a couple of times before, but not in a while. They've got a brand-spraking-new record out, so I figure it's about time we revisit British metalcore act While She Sleeps.
If first single "Our Legacy" is any indication, While She Sleeps' new album Brainwashed is melodic metalcore with a capital 'M' on both. Melody and sing-along-ability are here in spades, but there's some nice chunky riffing happening here too. Think more recent Darkest Hour with the overt technicality turned down some and you'll get at least some sense of the flavour of While She Sleeps. Check this one out if you're looking for something fun to share pints and stories over this weekend.

While She Sleeps - Crows
Apparently I'm in a bit of a metalcore mood lately, because I've picked another offering from the land of chuggity chugs and breakdowns for your song this evening. And hey, what do you know, it's a bit of a throwback for this Thursday evening too.
British metalcore act my have come a ways since their 2010 EP The North Stands for Nothing, but it's still my favourite release of theirs and the one with which I'm most familiar. As such, it's once again the source of your While She Sleeps Song.
At less than three and a half minutes long, "Crows" is brief and relatively to the point, like most of the material on The North Stands for Nothing. It's got some decent melody going in its chord progressions too, reminding me a little of mid-career Architects. But besides everything else, it's a fun little metalcore song, and while the band's sound may have evolved in four years plus, I still digs me some of the old stuff. Czech it out.

Song of the Day (Mar 21): While She Sleeps - Hearts Aside Our Horses
Yesterday or the day before I said something about djent perhaps not being your favourite genre, or maybe being one you're tired of hearing about. But if djent is getting a little played out, then what would you call metalcore? Antiquated? Maybe even irrelevant? Balderdash! There's still good metalcore being made out there.
