Deathcore bands you DO like...

Whats the difference between deathcore and metalcore btw?

(im a noob when it comes to core anything)

Metalcore uses more of a ripped-off gothenberg sound, and tends to include alot more melodies. Deathcore is more of a ripped-off death metal sound, filled with minor thirds, chromatics, and tritones. Fill all of those gaps with breakdowns, and you have your two genres. Deathcore includes alot of metalcore elements, whereas metalcore was more of a predecessor, and didn't have as much blastbeating and low growls. They're still included with some metalcore bands, though.

Examples;

Unearth - Metalcore. Melodies, gothenberging, and it's generally alot more melodic/harmonic than alot of deathcore. Vocals are more whiney and high pitched, and there's alot of useless talking every once and a while.

Whitechapel - Deathcore. Minor Thirds, Chromatics, tritones (especially in slowed down breakdowns), and tends to be alot sluggier then metalcore. Vocals are "brutal" and tend to be very guteral, alternating between highs, lows, really lows, yew yew yews, and bree bree brees.

Obviously alot of bands break barriers, like After the Burial. I would consider After the Burial to be a lot more metalcore than they are deathcore, but this isn't a genre war. More of a general description.

I'm not trying to hate on these bands, FYI.

Good description

My only complaint is the spelling of guttural

 

[SerratedSkies]

Guttural. Guttural. I have to remember this. Guttural.


I'm in a death metal band, you'd think I'd know this word by now.

 

[abysmalrites]

ATB. No thanks.

I don't like their mix of melodic death metal with Meshuggah-esque breakdowns. IMO, it's a terrible mix.

If we're lumping The Red Chord into the deathcore genre, then I like them. I'm not a consistent listener, though and I really only like their newest and Revolving Door (whatever the full title is).

New Tony Danza Song (that band is fucking sick i don't know where i've been)

Deathcore? Really?

The word you're looking for is Mathcore

I'm with you though, I don't know how I've only just got into them, I've known about them all this time and they even offered my band a record deal once but I never used to like them before...

 

[ServerOfAnubis]

Whitechapel
All Shall Perish
Despised Icon
The Contortionist(I don't really consider them like deathcore, although they have breakdowns in their music)

For me I don't consider Born Of Osiris, VOM, After The Burial like deathcore. Well, if the people still say that those bands are deathcore, it's just so fucking good anyway!

 

[Scar Symmetry]

The Contortionist are definitely Deathcore dude.

The thing about BOO, VOM and ATB is they're more Progressive than Deathcore, but VOM have so many breakdowns I think they're closer to Metalcore.

BOO and ATB are more Progressive these days, but BOO's first album was pretty Deathcore-centric.

I think Veil of Maya is absolutely sick.

When I first heard Born of Osiris, I just assumed it was just modern death metal The difference between it and most modern more melodic-ish death metal seemed so small I was barely able to tell upon first listen. It only became apparent after detailed listening it wasn't quite death metal.

Deathcore or not, I really fucking like that band.

See I thought that I thought they were absolutely sick too... then I bought the album and I realised it was a 30 minute breakdown.

I still enjoy it somewhat, but I'm sure their new album will be better.

Dude, have you seen them live? They are so tight it's a joke.

Maybe I should get the whole record, then. I've heard maybe 5 off of the most recent release.

I never really considered this until I read this post. The thing about Veil of Maya, is that, beyond their breakdowns, lies a shit load of creative riffing. I'm one to hate on this trendy machine-gun era of breakdowns, but honestly, I'm yet to hear a band in this genre that I like more than Veil of Maya. Maybe it's because when I first heard them, they were everything I wanted Born of Osiris to be.

+1 for hoping the new album will be good.

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Yeah their guitarist is sick no doubt, he pulls off some amazing shit, I'd just like it if there were less breakdowns. Not a lot less, just less.

Nobody seems to remember one of the best out there... THE RED CHORD

 

[MikeH]

I consider TRC grindcore. Not deathcore.

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Dude they've been mentioned like 10 times

New album is just fantastic...I mean perfect!

This is how I feel - their breakdowns are really groovy so I like them, but when they start churning out those really tasty Melo-Death riffs, that's when I get excited.

I have to check this out, considering 'Prey for Eyes' made me fall asleep both times I tried to listen to it. Obviously 'Clients' and 'FTiRD' were amazing.
