We’re always looking for more new bands to listen to, so earlier this year we again reached out to an array of metal lovers to ask them what metal bands they think people should be keeping an eye on.

• 15 Best Emo & Post-Hardcore Albums of 2004

A lot of mainstream emo started to look and sound the sam
