Apparently there is a movement within deathcore that is beginning to incorporate much more technical and progressive elements in its music than the trademark mindless, knuckle dragging breakdowns for which the genre is famous. There's a number of bands on a label called Sumerian Records that all have incredible talent and sound similar to the link above and yet have their own distinct sounds. I suppose the evolution within the genre could be likened to the birth of technical death metal in the 90's. The Meshuggah influence is pretty evident here, especially in the breakdowns (which are said to be played in rhythms of pi). So take a listen if you wish and respond!

I actually think it's great! Not necessarily because the music is spectacular (it is good not great, sounds pretty close to metalcore to me aside from vocals), but it is a fresh take on one of metal's worst genres. Finally deathcore without the monotonous breakdowns every three seconds like Emmure.
