'''Deathcore''' is a generic term for music that combines [[Metalcore]] with [[Death Metal]] (usually more of the former than the latter, although there are certainly exceptions to that). It usually combines blastbeat-led riffing akin to Death Metal with breakdowns influenced by both Metalcore and Brutal Death "slams". Deathcore's prominent vocal style is the [[Harsh Vocals|growling]] of Death Metal, often juxtaposed with Metalcore-derived [[Metal Scream|screams]] and high-pitched backing shrieks a la [[Cannibal Corpse]] and [[Deicide]].
The most popular subset of Deathcore employs breakdowns, grooves and [[Melodic Death Metal]]-influenced riffs with occasional glimpses of traditional DM. "Pig squeal" vocals, [[Refuge in Audacity|which try to emulate the sound of a pig being slaughtered]], are sometimes used (less commonly in recent years thanks to [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like]]). Brutal Deathcore bands eschew melodic stylings and often invoke Slam Death Metal tropes. Some Deathcore bands add in an overt nod to the genre's [[Hardcore Punk]] roots by including gang vocals. In the genre's more melodic forms, [[Symphonic Metal]]-influenced keys/synth are not uncommon.
Line 8:
As with [[Nu-metal]], the term "deathcore" is rejected by many bands because it's seen as derogatory.
{{examples|Bands typically described as deathcore include:}}▼
▲Bands typically described as deathcore include:
* All Shall Perish
* Annotations of an Autopsy
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
* With Blood Comes Cleansing
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Base Breaker]] - Bring it up on the internet. Just try it once, and hope to escape with your life.
* [[Christian Rock]] - Impending Doom, With Blood Comes Cleansing and Underneath the Gun.
* [[Dead Horse Music Genre]] - Many have called it this, including some deathcore bands who later jumped ship and [[Genre Shift|changed their style]] (such as Job for a Cowboy moving onto tech-death, or Bring Me the Horizon onto straight-up metalcore).
* [[Emo Teen]] - Many deathcore musicians have an emo-esque look, with [[Bring Me the Horizon]] being the primary example.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] - The Red Chord and Born of Osiris have earned grudging respect from metal fans thanks to their greater musical complexity compared to most other deathcore bands.
Line 61 ⟶ 59:
** Even within deathcore circles, however, Waking the Cadaver and Dr. Acula are widely hated.
** Rose Funeral also gets a lot more hate than other deathcore bands due to the uno incident.
* [[Snark Bait]] - The entire genre, really, although Bring Me the Horizon, Waking the Cadaver and Suicide Silence get the bulk of the snark. Since the uno incident, Rose Funeral is also a prime target for snark ([https://web.archive.org/web/20120512023450/http://www.last.fm/group/Unocore case in point]).
* [[Spiritual Successor]] - To [[Nu-metal]] - many of the genre's bands are openly influenced by, among others Korn and Deftones. Their music sounds little like those two bands though.
** It could also be seen as the Spiritual Successor to [[Metalcore]], as the fan base is spearheaded by Metalcore fans.
