| 2020-06-19 | 92 | J2 | "Dawn of Destiny" | Dawn of Destiny | even though there is no apparent away, |
| 2020-06-19 | 93 | Alex Yarmak | "Outrun This" | single | when you realize you have assumed your life matters and thus spent it making everything else matter less, |
| 2020-05-29 | 58 | Erik Ekholm | "Extinction" | Extinction 5 | The way out is recognizing that we can't live inside of these same spaces any more. |
| 2020-03-27 | 78 | Erik Ekholm | "Strong" | single | We may still escape this plague without millions dead, |
| 2020-03-06 | 85 | Thorr | "Rising Tide" | Low | maybe we can think more cogently about what we cause and influence when we go out. |
| 2020-02-14 | 77 | Hidden Citizens | "Swan Lake - Epic Trailer Version" | Revivals, Vol. 2 | but our songs will be sung, |
| 2019-11-22 | 41 | Cloudjumper | "Katsuki and Izuku" | single | knowing full well we will be recomposed in triumphant montage in the coda. |
| 2019-10-25 | 81 | Erik Ekholm | "Outcast" | single | and begin again unstoppably. |
| 2019-10-25 | 82 | Gregorio Franco | "Wreckage" | The Scourge | You have defeat and all the material it releases. |
| 2019-10-11 | 60 | Erik Ekholm | "Cortex" | Nexus | But it is hard to listen when you think a God has commanded you to talk. |
| 2019-09-27 | 37 | Nebula Orionis | "Ashes" | Ashes 5 | in a post-wishful epoch? |

| 2019-07-05 | 49 | Erik Ekholm | "Maverick" | single | and the world will be different again in a moment. |
| 2019-07-05 | 50 | Alex Yarmak | "Hydrogen" | single | We hold these truths to be elemental, |
| 2019-06-14 | 59 | Erik Ekholm | "Edge of Time" | single | and then wrote wordless songs about the occult bases of those codes. |
| 2019-06-14 | 60 | NINJA TRACKS | "World On Fire" | Resist 2.5 | But the secrets we need are not revealed by encodings, |
| 2019-06-14 | 61 | J2 | "Gold Dust Woman" | single | they are the implications of our reductions. |
| 2019-06-07 | 50 | Erik Ekholm | "Cymatic" | single | except we're good with chowder, |
| 2019-05-17 | 46 | Moloch | "The Lighthouse" | single | and the implications of its technocracies, |
| 2019-05-17 | 47 | Erik Ekholm | "Sentient" | single | and then you become its humanity. |
| 2019-05-17 | 48 | Ki:Theory | "Lying in State" | Centrifugal 5 | Machines are your memory and your memorials, |

| 2019-03-29 | 44 | Jo Blankenburg | "Last Man Standing" | Petrichor | which is exactly why dire-sounding is an imperative art. |
| 2019-03-15 | 72 | Erik Ekholm | "World Breaker" | single | not cages for our children. |

| 2018-11-30 | 36 | Emad Yaghoubi | "Protectors" | single | but there are so many fragments of momentary momentum, |
| 2018-11-30 | 37 | Frank Klepacki | "God of War" | single | and thus so many instantiations of "once". |
| 2018-11-09 | 45 | Erik Ekholm | "Black Core" | Fiendish | and yet we do, |
| 2018-11-02 | 52 | Erik Ekholm | "Notorious" | single | We can be heroes |
| 2018-10-26 | 55 | Really Slow Motion | "Mechanical Heart" | Existentia | We are swept up by our nurturing machines, |
| 2018-10-26 | 56 | Phil Rey | "One Star Further" | single | and their impetuous dreams, |
| 2018-10-26 | 57 | Songs To Your Eyes | "I Remember" | When They Arrive | and do we recognize them as our own? |
| 2018-10-12 | 53 | Echos | "Saints" | Saints +1 | and thus is forced to assume it was bestowed as a gift. |

| 2018-10-05 | 22 | Celestial Aeon Project | "Super Mario Bros Theme" | single | were heralds of a failed state, |
| 2018-09-28 | 31 | Phil Rey | "Americas" | single | a bureaucracy of exclusion and no ports of welcome, |
| 2018-09-28 | 32 | Thomas Bergersen | "You Are Light" | single | chants without melodies, |
| 2018-09-28 | 33 | League of Legends | "RISE" | single | and then we are here. |
| 2018-09-21 | 40 | Erik Ekholm | "Primus" | Wild War | Things will hit you, impacts that may seem horrific in their mundanity, |
| 2018-09-14 | 30 | Erik Ekholm | "Reckless Monsters" | single | and I do believe in music, |
| 2018-09-14 | 31 | Danny Baranowsky | "War Bond - Pax West 2018 Edit" | Industries of Titan: Pax West EP 4 | and thus musician suicides claw at my moral universe, |
| 2018-09-14 | 32 | David Chappell | "Terra Aeterna" | single | and at the same time also partially explain themselves. |
| 2018-09-14 | 33 | Antti Martikainen | "Taking Back Nassau" | Hymn of the High Seas, Vol. 1 | Our deaths are comprehensible only because the music remains. |
| 2018-09-07 | 36 | Erik Ekholm | "Black Core" | single | dreaming of clockwork universes engineered to such internal coherence, |
| 2018-08-24 | 19 | Adn Compositions | "IX" | single | because you still think you're looking for a hero, |
| 2018-08-10 | 23 | Erik Ekholm | "Starscape" | single | After this you are triumph |
| 2018-08-10 | 24 | Marc Straight | "Drengskapr" | Omen | and its funeral procession, |
| 2018-08-03 | 28 | Erik Ekholm | "Invader" | Thunder | and it's too soon to say for sure whether "Missing U" really makes it four, in my head or heart, |
| 2018-07-27 | 30 | Erik Ekholm | "Desolation" | Thunder | so why should we care what I think I thought? |
| 2018-07-20 | 30 | Erik Ekholm | "Rising Titans" | single | If you measure musical love by the constancy of presence, Erik Ekholm is my favorite artist. There's something viscerally not exactly right about this, since I couldn't hum a single one of his songs and basically never listen to any individual one after the week it comes out. But he puts out new songs at a relentless rate, and he's a legitimate master of the bombastic faux-movie-trailer style I've taken to calling "epicore", and I like having a little epicore mixed into my listening weeks. When somebody asks you what your favorite restaurant is, do you say the one you ate in once in Paris in 2003, or the one you have to stop yourself from suggesting to your family because it's the one you always say? |
| 2018-07-20 | 31 | Phil Rey | "I'll Carry You" | single | I'd say 2-5 epicore songs is about the weekly amount I'm after. Phil Rey is a French trailer-composer with a little more inclination to recruit vocalists. |
| 2018-07-20 | 32 | 2WEI | "Toxic" | single | 2WEI are a German duo. This is basically an epicore-pop song. |
| 2018-07-20 | 33 | Distorted Harmony | "For Ester" | A Way Out | Distorted Harmony are an Israeli progressive metalcore band, but this instrumental track from the middle of their new album is basically epicore-core. |
| 2018-07-20 | 34 | Maenad Veyl | "No Irony" | Not What You See, Not What You Feel | Maenad Veyl is Italian electro-industrial epicore. |
| 2018-07-20 | 41 | Circadian Eyes | "Leave Behind Your Empty Walls" | A Future Nostalgic | Circadian Eyes is an atmopheric post-rock project. If epicore is music for movie trailers, atmospheric post-rock is music for melancholy mid-film emotional-retreat montages. |
| 2018-07-13 | 21 | Erik Ekholm | "Venator" | single | The valkyries will not come and release us from this, |
| 2018-07-06 | 21 | Erik Ekholm | "Desolation" | Invader 3 | more superhero movies requiring international logistics. |
| 2018-07-06 | 38 | Belzebubs | "Maleficarum - The Veil of the Moon Queen, Pt. I" | Blackened Call 2 | and not if you aren't willing to fall in love with dark spirits, |
| 2018-06-08 | 23 | Efisio Cross | "Hell Shall Perish" | single | Our gods are indentified less by their commandments |
| 2018-06-08 | 24 | Alexander Brandon | "Caution At Hyla's Crescent" | Aven Colony (Original Game Soundtrack) | than by their themes, |
| 2018-04-13 | 29 | Erik Ekholm | "Ultraverse" | Rampage | We are scanned, |
| 2018-04-13 | 30 | Imagine Music | "Universe Has No End" | Supreme II | extrapolated, |

| 2018-03-09 | 18 | Mark John Petrie | "Redshift" | Volturnus | encrypted in menace. |
| 2018-02-23 | 22 | Efisio Cross | "Invincible Messiah" | single | and belief systems can be categorized by how self-awarely they oppose omniscient fatalism, |
| 2018-02-16 | 31 | Erik Ekholm | "Rebellion" | Rebellion | in frozen dissidence. |
| 2018-02-16 | 32 | Epic Score | "Eternal Memories" | Epic Emotion: Triumph of Spirit | Do you have the courage to want aloud what everybody wants silently? |
| 2018-02-16 | 35 | Gothic Storm Music | "Cyber Death Punch" | Dark Tech Thrillers | Is that what you want? |
| 2018-02-16 | 36 | Phil Rey | "The Gift of Love" | single | Honestly, you don't really have a choice. |
| 2017-12-29 | 13 | Mattia Cupelli | "Earth 2049" | single | adrift between becalmed and bespoke. |
| 2017-12-15 | 32 | Miracle Of Sound | "Force of Nature" | Level 8 | This is all "algorithms" means: |
| 2017-12-15 | 33 | Erik Ekholm | "Centuria" | Battlestation | you are curious what other people know, |
| 2017-12-15 | 34 | Epic North | "Sky Map" | Skygate | and you realize that interviewing them individually |
| 2017-12-08 | 24 | Cloudjumper | "Jet Set Run - Orchestral Arrangement" | single | even if it's the thing you're doing. |
| 2017-12-01 | 20 | Gothic Storm | "Lamentum" | Dark Fantasy | I didn't earn these things. |
| 2017-12-01 | 23 | Xtortion Audio | "Android Assault" | Terminus: Intense Hybrid Action Music | Streaming playlists, like airplanes, exist to render tourism routine. |
| 2017-12-01 | 24 | ROZEN | "The Ancient Battle" | Sins of Hyrule | Writing in The Baffler, Liz Pelly compares Spotify playlists to airport food, and later asserts that the goal of streaming is to turn all music into emotional wallpaper. |
| 2017-11-17 | 19 | Wontolla | "Break Down The Gate" | Break Down The Gate +3 | And when you are quietly gone, we will write writhing legends of your demise. |
| 2017-11-17 | 20 | Erik Ekholm | "Centuria" | single | This is the curse of resisting progress: |
| 2017-11-17 | 21 | Matias Puumala | "Invictus" | Lumous | the inertia of love is ultimately conserved, |
| 2017-11-17 | 22 | FalKKonE | "In the Hall of the Mountain King" | Intense Symphonic Metal Covers, Vol. 6 | and all you will turn out to have done is accumulated hate where it can be more easily packaged as history, |
| 2017-11-10 | 22 | Future Heroes | "Apex" | Arise | Our triumphs are evasive pastiches of tenuous survival. |
| 2017-11-10 | 23 | Mattia Cupelli | "Free / / Rebirth" | single | Our aspirational quiet is never the same as silence. |
| 2017-11-10 | 24 | Dan Terminus | "Fall of the Ancient World" | Automated Refrains | Idols behind, robots ahead, |
| 2017-11-03 | 28 | Erik Ekholm | "Scanner" | single | but now we have cyborgs |
| 2017-11-03 | 29 | Titan Slayer | "Dark Star One" | Transhumanity | and battle stations, |
| 2017-10-20 | 19 | Fringe Element | "Dark Revelation" | Onyx | This is why movies have soundtracks, |
| 2017-10-20 | 20 | Matias Puumala | "Beneath the Blazing Sky" | single | why soundtracks are so much of what makes movies different from life, |
| 2017-10-20 | 21 | R Armando Morabito | "Shattered" | Days of Tomorrow (Deluxe Edition) | why the future and past are both so different from the thin moments of now, |
| 2017-10-20 | 22 | Aleksandar Dimitrijevic | "Genisys" | Best of Omega | why systems bloom |
| 2017-10-13 | 33 | Erik Ekholm | "Corruptor" | Corruptor +2 | Tomorrow the whole world will be made of this dust, |
| 2017-10-06 | 30 | Erik Ekholm | "Edge of the Blade" | Nephalem | either, |
| 2017-09-22 | 35 | Axl Rosenberg | "Radiant" | Life | But everything else is weaker, and dreams may have to begin again from rock and salt. |
| 2017-09-22 | 36 | Thomas Bergersen | "Unleashed" | Unleashed | But of course they do. |
| 2017-09-22 | 37 | Fringe Element | "Nine Days Wonder" | Limitless | Paradise is inherently all-inclusive. |
| 2017-09-15 | 38 | Miracle Of Sound | "No One" | single | Simulated apocalypses can be critiques of our planning, |
| 2017-09-15 | 39 | Erik Ekholm | "Soul Reaper" | single | but are more often just mordant celebrations of scale, |
| 2017-09-15 | 42 | Alpine Universe | "The Hunter" | single | The anthemic urge is part of what defines us, |
| 2017-09-08 | 43 | Full Tilt | "We Rise We Fall" | Steroidal | Some songs just exist to imply, desperately, that something amazing is about to start. |
| 2017-09-08 | 44 | J2 | "Love Is War (feat. Racella)" | single | Sometimes the trailers are thus truer than their movies. |
| 2017-09-01 | 26 | Soundcritters | "01001 I Am Digital" | Era | Or that dream-logic would be any better than astonishing mundane reality. |
| 2017-08-11 | 26 | Gothic Storm | "Neon Hawk" | SynthWave Outrun | It's not merely circular that the racist South needed slavery. |
| 2017-06-02 | 37 | Erik Ekholm | "Skull Hammer" | Uprising | Which is also how we got a lot of worse things, too, |
| 2017-05-05 | 38 | Erik Ekholm | "Hellbound" | Locked and Loaded | It will give some of them jobs for which they are unmistakably unqualified. |

| 2017-04-07 | 61 | Erik Ekholm | "Renegade" | single | The future hasn't ever happened yet. |
| 2017-04-07 | 62 | Antti Martikainen | "Legendary" | The Sound of Courage | That's the best thing about it. |
| 2017-03-31 | 26 | Epic North | "Freya" | Arctic Engine | 50 years is not that long, but it's long enough to compile encyclopedias of regret. |
| 2017-03-31 | 27 | Kai Engel | "Seeker" | The Run | If that's how you channel your energies, it's short enough to spend doing nothing else. |
| 2017-03-10 | 24 | Erik Ekholm | "Beast Mode" | Revenge | What would you do if you could start over a trillion times a second? |
| 2017-03-10 | 25 | Matias Puumala | "Desolate Earth" | Desolate Earth | The problem with the actual future is that we only have the bandwidth to run a single simulation, |
| 2017-03-10 | 26 | Peter Roe | "Bushido" | Ronin | and only in interminable real-time. |
| 2017-03-10 | 27 | RichaadEB | "Guren No Yumiya" | single | Which is why, if you care about what happens, you can't just wait. |
| 2017-03-10 | 28 | J2 | "Halo (Epic Trailer Version) [feat. I.Am.Willow]" | single | We have to live all the tomorrows we won't get, now, quickly, before it's too late. |
| 2017-02-17 | 38 | Imagine Music | "Valley of the Kings" | Gods | and the accumulation of systems for allowing the unlikely. |
| 2017-02-10 | 34 | Tina Guo | "Final Fantasy VII" | Game On! | Bannon and the other diligent racists have absorbed this and realized that Trump's structure contains a Death-Star-grade flaw: |
| 2016-12-09 | 13 | Uppermost | "Constellation" | single | illuminations from the margins of orrery calibration manuals: |
| 2016-10-21 | 48 | Inon Zur | "Secrets of the Louvre" | Eagle Flight (Original Game Soundtrack) | Valkyrie epicore. |
| 2016-10-21 | 49 | Shahead Mostafafar | "Into The Next Dimension - Beginning To Remember" | Miniqua | Indie compositional epicore. |
| 2016-10-14 | 24 | Matias Puumala | "Elektrobeast" | single | The higher up Bald Mountain you climb, the more overwrought the weather. |
| 2016-10-14 | 25 | NINJA TRACKS | "Repentance" | Elemental | But the storms basically only really exist to make the eventual giant-eagle rescue more dramatic. |
| 2016-10-14 | 26 | MONO | "Death in Rebirth" | Requiem for Hell | You'll enjoy the cathartic crescendos more if you pretend you don't know they're coming. |
| 2016-10-14 | 59 | Toygar Işıklı | "Kemal Soydere / Duvarlarım" | Kara Sevda (Orijinal Dizi Müzikleri) | I have a favorite Turkish TV-soundtrack epicore composer, too. |
| 2016-10-14 | 60 | Mechanist | "Rigel" | Sector N-707 | Epicorestep should be more of a thing. |
| 2016-09-30 | 22 | Erik Ekholm | "Quantum" | Quantum | and re-rendered in desaturated slow motion. |
| 2016-09-16 | 16 | Hidden Citizens | "(I Just) Died In Your Arms - Epic Trailer Version" | single | There may have been so many people around me playing Pokémon, at times, that battery cables and ball-flinging motions became the overwhelming environmental norm, and the stray older cruise-boat tourists without phones out seemed like maybe they'd been let out at the wrong port. |
| 2016-09-16 | 42 | Epic North | "Sea of Flames" | Dragon | Then north. There's a terrific statue of St. George and His Dragon in Gamla Stan. It's one of my favorite things, and one of the ways I orient myself in Stockholm, both emotionally and geographically, because I could see it out the window where I stayed one of the first times I came. |
| 2016-09-16 | 43 | Songs To Your Eyes | "Dystopic Winter" | Investigative Minds, Vol. 2 | And there, where I kind of think of my Stockholm experience as beginning, with a dragon that would have to be considered a spiritual forebearer of all Pokémon except a miserable fucking mime that doesn't make any sense in the game at all, I finally found and captured Mr. Mime. |
| 2016-08-12 | 27 | Miracle Of Sound | "The Path" | single | One-man-band epicore folk metal. |
| 2016-08-12 | 28 | Jeremiah Pena | "Adrift on the Edge of Interstellar Clouds" | An Ancient Sky | Textural elegiac morning-after-apocalypse epicore. |
| 2016-08-05 | 37 | Erik Ekholm | "Parallax of Reality" | Breaking Reality 5 | until the complexity of artificial processes becomes indistinguishable, both practically and conceptually, from that of natural ones. |
| 2016-08-05 | 40 | Austin Wintory | "Chaos, the Mother" | Abzu | You are adrift and free to explore, even while you are being timed and measured. |
| 2016-08-05 | 41 | 65daysofstatic | "NMS_exteriorAtmos1/False Suns" | No Man's Sky: Music For An Infinite Universe | Patience is an implication of infinity. |
| 2016-07-29 | 42 | Antti Martikainen | "Faraway (Remaster)" | Origins | Whereas Finnish folk-epicore seems perfectly reasonable to me. |
| 2016-07-29 | 43 | Shahead Mostafafar | "Eclipse - NGC 6543" | Eternity Clock | Shahead Mostafafar's Facebook bio says "Genre: No Genre!". Bullshit. Genre: Epicore. |
| 2016-07-22 | 3 | Athame | "For Generations" | With Cunning Fire and Adversarial Resolve | Athame are an Appalachian black metal band, not to be confused with the Colorado black metal band Athamé or the proto-epicore composer Atham'e. And when I say "not to be confused", I mean "conflated obliviously on Spotify until just now when I discovered that this is three bands, not one, and fixed them". |
| 2016-07-22 | 26 | Ravenia | "We All Died for Honor" | We All Died for Honor +2 | Or gothic symphonic epicore soundtrack metal. |
| 2016-07-22 | 39 | Miracle Of Sound | "Mother of Flame" | single | In an oblique way, Enya was the primordial epicore artist. |
| 2016-07-15 | 29 | Erik Ekholm | "Dissolve" | Generator | We're starring in nonexistent epics |
| 2016-07-15 | 30 | Jo Blankenburg | "Valkyrie" | Valkyrie (Original Trailer Music) | where we are carried away from this |
| 2016-07-15 | 31 | Patryk Scelina | "Encounter" | single | by forces with both gravity and antigravity, where you have only the transient thud of inert weight. |
| 2016-06-17 | 38 | Erik Ekholm | "Worlds Collide" | single | But that geometry and poetry are just different ways to say "Now here is the amazing part." |
