Who was the first deathcore band ever?

Answer 1

Someone could easily say that bands as old as napalm death and carcass were the first death metal bands that added anything Core to it..be it they were more grind than Death but the argument could be made.

Answer 2

Technically, one could cite the Hardcore Punk band Discharge, as they both had a lot of Metal elements about their music, and were also one of the biggest influences from which Thrash Metal came about.

Carnivore was first formed in 1982, and released their first album in 1986. S.O.D. (Stormtroopers of Death) didn't form until 1985, but they did release their Speak English or Die album the same year. Depending on whether you consider the 'first' by whether they were the first to form or first to release an album, either of those two would be your likely answer to that question.

Answer 3

There is a large debate about this.

Although there was a large portion of bands doing the same music at the time, KORN was the first band to be classed as Nu Metal.

Answer 4
