The Best 2000’s Hardcore Band (Tournament Bracket)

The time has come… After crowning the best 1980’s and 1990’s hardcore bands in heated tournament brackets, we are now crowning the best 2000’s (2000-2009) hardcore band of all time…

We lived through this era so we’re finally qualified to weigh in (lol), so sit back, don’t relax, and be prepared to yell at the screen as we put 64 of the best bands of the new millennium head to head to battle it out.
