What a wonderful observationAlcookie said:
To be honest I think Deathcore sounds pretty entertaining. I can appreciate Death Metal (In Flames, Sepultura, Cannibal Corpse, Children of Bodom) but to be honest I never heard any Metalcore. I looked it up and it sounds pretty soft, even emo at times (seriously, look up some images of those groups).
Conclusion: Thank you for introducing me to Deathcore.
And now for something completely different.
And you are why most of the people who listen to deathcore get a bad name.
Calling suicide silence grindcore??? what the fucking fuck?
Agoraphobic Nosebleed, is "grindcore"
And grindcore is nothing like death or metalcore.
Metalcore is basically like bands "As I lay Dying" or "Light This City"
Deathcore is more sludgy, focused on thirty-second breakdowns, and blastbeats.
More like "Salt The Wound" or "Allay The Sea"
So fuck off.

Anyways..
There is a time and a place for Deathcore. I wouldn't say I'm right into it but I've got some Job for a Cowboy and iwrestledabearonce on my iPod.
Cue actual fans of the genre smashing me for those two bands not being Deathcore.
I'm a fan of deathcore, listen to Despised Icon, a couple good songs off the top of my head are Tears of the Blameless, MVP, Fainted Blue Ornaments, and Furtive Monologue.
Black Dahlia Murder is also awesome, check out Deathmask Divine by them, Nocturnal, and What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse (their demo is called What A Terrible Night To Have A Curse, I mean for you to listen to that song).
Veil of Maya is the bomb too, Crawl Back and It's Not Safe To Swim Today will rip your face off. They're super melodic in their instrumentals as well, and you may like them, or parts of them, even if you're not usually into hardcore music.
Deathcore is kind of tough to describe as a subgenre, but those three bands IMO are some of the greatest in that subgenre

The only deathcore band that I can stomach is The Faceless, and even then they're very vaguely deathcore.
Anything else is just awful, Suicide Silence especially included.

Never really listened to Suicide Silence, but the little I did hear I didn't mind, apart from them the only deathcore band there is BMTH and they aren't really that much deathcore anymore.Super_Nintendo_Chalmers said:
The rest are more Hardcore/Metalcore. PWD TDWP and ABR all have lower screams/growls, deathcore will generally have much higher scratchier screams and a generally dirtier sound.
You cant group screaming as just deathcore, there are loads of different genres that incorporate screaming, like post-hardcore(emo) now you wouldn't put Hawthorn Heights next to a band like Iwrestledabearone(whom I consider grindcore(mostly) tho I could be a little off) Both scream, both have cleans, neither sounds remotely similar, even if you have never heard a screaming band before.Vault101 said:
I don't think that I have listened to too many Deathcore songs, so I can't really say that much about the whole genre, but some of it I'm sure isn't too my tastes. Its songs like some of it is just overly harsh for the sake of being harsh, which doesn't really appeal to me, but I'm sure that there is some Deathcore out there that isn't quite so hard on the ears. If not, whatever, I've got other music I can listen to.
To be fair, I'm not the biggest death metal fan either, but bands like Insomniac are awesome!Kinguendo said:Oh Madbird, how could you say that about one of my favourite music genres - Melodic Death Metal.madbird-valiant said:
And deathcore is like any other genre in that it has good bands and bad bands. Depends what you consider "deathcore" as well.
No wonder I dont remember saying that, its over a year old. Still true but whoever brought this thread back to life really needs to hide from the banhammer... we shall see what happens.FinalHeart95 said:To be fair, I'm not the biggest death metal fan either, but bands like Insomniac are awesome!Kinguendo said:Oh Madbird, how could you say that about one of my favourite music genres - Melodic Death Metal.madbird-valiant said:

Personally, I dislike most of the genres ending in -core. Metalcore, for example, is an unholy marriage between Metal and Pop Punk, which could work if done right -- the way I understand it, both Thrash Metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal resulted from the fusion of Heavy Metal and classic Punk, so it's not like there isn't precedent -- but it seems to take the worst parts of both genres, i.e. the over the top noise levels, distortion, and screaming of Death Metal, and the general lack of complexity found in punk. This doesn't work, at all.
Frankly, it doesn't bother me all that much, and it wouldn't bother me at all if not for one little thing: people have a tendency to hear a -core group, and either assume that it's metal, or have it introduced to them as metal. When they wind up hating it, as they so often do, they tend to write off all metal, none of which is more than superfically similar to the stuff they hate, and much of which sounds completely different even to an outsider.

Not necessarily a fan of deathcore. Currently, the only two bands I like that fit this sub-genre are Despised Icon and My Bitter End.
