What is death-core?

Answer 1

deathcore can be seen as a blend of (modern) death metal (palm muted riffs, DM riffs) with metalcore elements (eg. breakdowns) and maybe some grindcore.[also it must be said that deathcore IS NOT grindcore, like many people think!!!)

i'd say it's forerunner is slam death metal like dying fetus, skinless and stuff.

(deathmetal with breakdowns and lots of grooves.)

another feature are inhale, pig squeal like vocals, which not every band uses tho...

(the "bree")

some examples of deathcore bands:

all shall perish

the red chord

despised icon

carnifex

suicide silenence

knights of the abyss

impending doom

bring me the horizon (good but overrated)

winds of plague(melodic deathcore)

waking the cadaver("brutal" deathcore)

annotations of an autopsy

whitechapel

war from a harlots mouth

the partisan turbine

the acacia strain

as blood runs black

beneath the sky

the number 12 looks like you

arsonists get all the girls

...

all these bands sound pretty different!

Ummm... most of those are not deathcore, here are some,

Bring Me The Horizon(early music not suicide season)**

As Blood Runs Black**

Between The Buried And Me*

The Final Burden

Deathcore is a heavier death metal Verizon but not as loud as death metal is, distorded deathcore isn't deathcore it's grindcore like:

Suicide silence*

Born Of Osiris(electrogrind)*

Whitechapel(my favorite)**

Abnormality(playable on rock band 2 and only has a demo so far, 3 songs)*

Death metal is like:

Cannibal Corpse(most known)

Bring Me The Horizon(later, Suicide Season)**

and many other pure insanity bands
