Hopeless/SubCity have teamed up with the Hot Topic Foundation for a CD/DVD compilation featuring today's most relevant screamcore metal bands. You'll find 21 tracks including bands like Chiodos, Saosin, As I Lay Dying, Silverstein, Aiden and so many more. But wait...there's more! Just when you've had your fill of all the killer screaming melodies, fire up the DVD for live video footage. In all, you'll find 17 revealing videos expressing each band's unique vibe.

For this reviewer, the most notable track was "Orchestra of Wolves" by Gallows which oozed with more pop melody than most others and had unique vocal and guitar signatures. Not that the other tracks should have pop sensibilities. All these bands have earned their metel core stripes and are worth a listen.

If you're a fan of the aforementioned bands, you won't be disappointed with the collection of tracks assembled for Hot Topic's worthy cause. The Hot Topic Foundation aims to support programs and organizations that specifically focus on encouraging and educating youth in music, creative writing, filmmaking and more. Be on the lookout for their next offering. In the meantime, pick this one up at Hot Topic stores or HotTopic.com for only $9.99. 5% of the suggested retail price will be donated and help the Foundation continue to make a difference.
