yes, deathcore is a bullshit term made up by the masses, it's just metalcore with slightly less melodic leads lol

[Fireworks]

oh yeah, I keep forgetting somehow to include Nevermore into lists like these despite them being one of my absolute favorites as well

Which is why Encyclopaedia Metallum, probably the most accurate metal info site I've ever seen, classifies bands under deathcore? I wouldn't think they'd do that if it weren't for the better of classification.

Recently discovered a Painface album download, and it's awesome. The fact that I loved MFKR-knot a lot makes that even better.

Also, if I have to, I'll put Burn the Priest in my list, but that's just what Lamb of God was before they changed to... Lamb of God.

 

[Altmer]

because encyclopedia metallum. the fact that lots of people use the word deathcore doesn't make it a less bullshit term lol

 

[Alaphlosiam]

Then so is metalcore. Metalcore is just hardcore with more metal influences. Well, deathcore is metalcore with more death metal influences. Hell, "hardcore" is a bullshit term, too, because it's not "hardcore" at all. Opinions FTW.

 

[Altmer]

Metalcore is gay, but it's a valid term. Deathcore is bullshit considering the metal influences in metalcore, are, gasp, death metal, so it's just the same as metalcore. The only difference is some bands have less dweedly clean bits and more shred/meltyerface riffs.

Hardcore is a completely valid genre because it's hardcore punk, which is an 80s punk movement.

learn ur music

 

[Alaphlosiam]

I haven't ever heard metalcore that has death metal influences.

 

[Altmer]

that's funny because metalcore rips off in flames and at the gates

For the guys talking about deathcore and metalcore, surely you wouldn't put something like Despised Icon and Killswitch Engage, for example, in the same genre. There are some pretty big musical differences between them tbh.

 

[Altmer]

i would put killswitch engage in the "gay" genre

 

[Morbid]

i would put killswitch engage in the "gay" genre

Whether or not you're a fan of Killswitch Engage, they're still a metalcore band (tbh while they can be blamed for spawning a lot of horrific ripoff bands I don't think Killswitch are that awful, I'd never buy an album of theirs or anything but they don't sound that terrible). Same with deathcore. Just because the majority of deathcore bands are shit, it doesn't mean that deathcore's suddenly not a genre.

 

[Altmer]

no they are awful

i don't care if people call it metalcore or deathcore or whatever it's shit and it needs to die

 

[Jolty]

My favourite band ever ever EVER is Queen

My other favourites are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Aerosmith :D

Adding Guns N' Roses to this list kthxbai

 

[Morbid]

If you don't care then why are you spending time arguing about it on the Internet? :S

 

[Altmer]

because it's all fucking bullshit and people need to know that before they spend their hard earned cash on wannabe metal bands that are just doing it to be scene and not because they like metal

 

[Morbid]

fair enough lol. though some people (like Alaphlosiam, and even me to a certain extent) like deathcore for what it is while being well acquainted with death metal.

 

[Alaphlosiam]

Who says I spend money on it?

Anyway, like I said before, I like deathcore mostly for the pig squeals. The majority of it is crap. Only bands that I could definitely say I like are Ted Maul, Despised Icon (well, meh), and possibly Suicide Silence. The others are listed for lolsqueals.
