RAISED FIST: Heaviness Level - 5 out of 10
This hardcore band are probable the best out there in my opinion. Their lyrics are deep and the content is riveting. Their sound is unique but they got their inspiration from Rage Against the Machine. The singer sounds like Tom Cruise yelling which sounds awesome. Very catchy 2-step.
My Rating: 86%

REFUSED: Heaviness Level - 4 out of 10
This band is more punk but I reckon they're sound would appeal to heavy music fans. They have a mix of fast and melodic beats and they're sound is very skillful. They have won quite a few awards and it's no wonder. They broke up a while ago.

STICK TO YOUR GUNS: Heaviness Level - 8 out of 10
