Both of those bands are pretty terrible tbh.

Yeah they really are. I'd take Necrophagist over JFAC anyday, and I'm not that big a fan of death metal (in it's purest form at least).

well thats just your opinion. i love JFAC and TTEOTD and you cant change that

Embracethedeath · 11-10-2008, 08:15 PM

Alright, I'll put it this way:
Any metalhead that has taste in metal will say that both of those bands undoubtedly suck.

Listen to Carnifex for a while, then listen to, say, Necrophagist.

I'm not gonna say that Deathcore is a crappy genre, but if there was a shorter term for "bland death metal," that would be it. While breakdowns are used by a variety of bands (Either metalcore, death metal, or I would go as far as to say some black metal bands may use them), it is pretty much a prevailing trait in deathcore. Good examples of what I'm talking about are bands like Carnifex, Elysia, Job For a Cowboy, and Knights of the Abyss. Breakdowns are pretty much staples in most extreme metal, and deathcore in essence takes the staple gun and goes sex nuts with it.

I like deathcore, but I understand why people don't consider it a genre of music where you'd find some very outstanding bands. Almost all bands in this genre pretty much just substitute potentially good interludes with breakdowns. Personally, I like breakdowns. Not balls-deep crazy about them, but I like to hear a decent breakdown now and then in my truck, just to hear that rhythmic pounding in my chest, then have all chaos open up into the next verse or chorus or outro. Now and then playing a breakdown is alright, but to do it constantly? Nuh uh.

Wanna good Deathcore band? Born of Osiris.

Define "taste." What do you mean? Are you implying people must lick these bands to determine they suck?
