The End

Canada's The End specialized in that smallish world sometimes referred to as mathcore, their songs featuring twisted riffs, vicious hardcore screaming, and practically nothing in the way of tap-your-feet, 4/4 sing-alongs. The Dillinger Escape Plan is the first name to come to mind when thinking of bands like this, they being the primary influence on a growing number of bands playing angry, yet insanely technical metalcore. The End, then, clearly belonged in the same field, as a contemporary of DEP rather than a clone, their style perhaps just a shade less chaotic than DEP (though that's a relative statement -- make no mistake, The End is all over the place with angular riffs and inhuman drumming). The band managed three albums before breaking up in 2010.
