It sucked in 94, and it sucks even harder now.

Anti-chugga-chugga-breakdowncore is the way to be.

that's not what I said at all

agreed.

For the most part I agree with the original post in this thread, that being, that deathcore is on the way down in public acceptance. As an avid hater, I'm thrilled. The only band that has been putting out quality tunes from that camp is All Shall Perish.

EDIT: To jackhammer, who is saying that metal has essentially stayed the same for 20 years; you're not listening to the right things. Out of all the genre's of music, I'd go so far to say metal (specifically the outer fringes of it) has been a hotbed of creativity for the past almost 20 years. Ever since Scream Bloody Gore, metal has been on a strange and turbulent path that has seen the release of such monstrous epics as Lykathea Aflame's Elvenefris, Cynic's Focus, Martyr's Warp Zone, Ephel Duath's Pain Necessary To Know, and countless others.

Metal is still very much alive. You just have to know where to look.

Would you mind recommending a couple of blogs mate? Also i really like Suicide Silence, The Cleansing is a class album.

Deathcore is just like nu-metal or metalcore or the glam metal bands, a trendier form of metal that will be popular untill something else takes its place. It wont die, it will just not get as much attention.

To me deathcore is just like all the other "scene" popular styles of metal in that it is just a watered down version of the real thing, in this case being death metal.

In all i really dont care what happens to deathcore.

Why is all this hate centered on deathcore?

the only band related to this deathcore thing that i actually like is The Red Chord. the rest of these bands could go jump off a cliff.

That's why.

Despised Icon is one of the only deathcore bands I listen to
