11 heaviest metalcore breakdowns: COUNTERPARTS singer's picks

Brendan Murphy knows a thing or two about breakdowns. Since 2007, he's fronted the Canadian band Counterparts, who play an emotionally scarred version of metalcore that makes you want to mosh and cry cathartically at the same time. More recently, he's been pulling double-duty as the vocalist of END, the ballistically heavy supergroup who mash metalcore, deathcore and hardcore into one breakdown-y pulp. But what are the breakdowns that inspire him to make all this heavy goodness? We asked Murphy to reveal his personal canon of choice chugga-chugga cuts. Watch now.
