The World We Knew

**The World We Knew** was a Florida-based melodic metalcore band active in the mid-2000s, known for blending aggressive riffs with emotionally charged lyrics. Emerging alongside peers like Underoath and As I Lay Dying, they carved a niche with their technical guitar work and raw, cathartic energy. Their discography includes releases like *Death Dealer* (2005) and *Exordium* (2006), which showcased their knack for combining melodic hooks with hardcore intensity. Tracks like “Passion” and “Homewrecker” became fan favorites, often highlighting their dynamic shifts between blistering breakdowns and soaring clean vocals. Though they disbanded around 2008, their demos and rarities (like *XV*) keep their legacy alive among fans of the era’s metalcore revival.
