Hey bro’s it’s C.N (ft T.Money) here. This post is going to be very serious, because we could be dealing with an imminent death.
Deathcore and Metalcore was going strong just a few years ago, in local venues everywhere you could find a “massacre the victims” or “from noun to noun” ringing out in the hallowed halls of mosh brotherhood.
But then around 2010/2011, something happened.
The big deathcore bands are always going to be remembered and will be seen as seminal in a couple years, but we will get to them later. What we are talking about here is roughly mid level Deathcore bands that aren’t as well known as their peers. They could be at risk of just becoming a forgotten memory of mesh shorts past.
Suffokate are one of those bands to me, I love them and they are sick but they don’t seem to get as much attention as a band like Whitechapel.
But why?
Salt the wound had it all. Melodic parts, breakdowns, among other things.
This song brings the mosh, and encourages hearty meals. Soup can ad flair to a winter dinner party and is convenient too!
…And hell followed with is definitely a band I think should get more attention.
Great riffs, sick groove parts and even a cool solo!
But now the question…Why is mid level Deathcore getting overlooked? What is going on here? How can they stay current and be remembered among their peers for their greatness?
The mosh gods will smile upon them if they pray at the alter of Zeus (the broducer that is)
It’s all in the name. It’s a subliminal hint of how to achieve maximum mosh sent from the unholy gods of tone.
Mid-level
That’s right. Turn up those midz and add a noise gate bby, we’re in business now.
A scientific study has proven mosh is increased by 20% per extra string on a guitar.
Factor in an extra 10% for drop tunings. Whitechapel has 50% more mosh than most other bands, PROVEN SCIENCE.
now with 5 new AXE-FX presets!
A good example of a band going from “just underneath the radar” to getting bigger by the minute is CG.
According to intense study, scrutiny and fact checking by the scientists in the moshology department, this band has a full 30% more mosh. Scientific study is still required to see if solos should ad or subtract from the overall mosh of the band.
Needless to say, this band really took off when shredlord Jason joined from Djentcore gods Born Of Osiris. Jason is proven to ad an extra 10 percent to mosh capabilities, bringing them up to 40% more mosh capabilities than a most bands.
Another favorite of mine and example of more midz=more mosh.
These guys used to be a cool noodley deathcore band and for a long time, flew just under the radar for lots of people. Enjoyable, but this shit they are on now is god tier.
Living proof that at every genres core is a nugget of gold. It’s what’s added to it that makes it enjoyable or not enjoyable for certain tastes.
Goes hard in the pit or on the go!
BMTH is was always big. Mainly because they keep it on the next level.
This new song is a combination of djent and post-rock.
You might be thinking “wow, that sounds like it’ll suck”
But no, BMTH show us neckbeardy genres when stripped down to the bones become very conductive to mosh.
E.G when Deathcore came out it was basically stripped down 90′s Death metal with breakdowns.
In the same way, stripped down post-rock and djent become especially moshtastic.
Just imagine the earnestness as thousands of DIY kids join in on the chants when the post-rock parts hit, then proceed to mosh as the djent parts kick in.
So, for our bro’s out there scooting under the radar listen up.
Turn up the midz. An ambient clean part before the breakdown sometimes. Maybe an extra string here or there. Another noise gate and compressor never killed anyone.
Keep that frequency at 1.4kHz bro’s.
Recipes for success are best served with a hearty midrange my friends.
What do you think of deathcore? Are you prepared for the next evolution?
Do you have an axe-fx? Do you want an axe-fx? What’s your favorite recipe (for success)?

im rly warming up to this guy :)

trophy 4 u
All I know is I miss that early deathcore/metalcore sound of TTEOTD/Dead To Fall/etc. THAT was where it was fucking at, too bad it all got outplayed.
TETOETD are pretty legit.
I never really got into that sound much, I’m not a huge fan of swedecore/swedish metal in general.
IMO the band that has held up the best with a sound like that is BDM who are fucking sick.
It’s a real bummer that no one is really doing anything cool with deathcore lately. I think everyone kind of realized at once that no one thinks deathcore is “real music”, but also failed to realize it doesn’t have to be “real”, it just has to go hard as fuck and that’s why people like it.
True brah.
All I want is lots of mids and fast chugs and I’m pretty happy.
There is some deathcore that I guess people (fggts) would call legit, like ASP and shit.
I could never get into ASP, but damn “Wage Slaves” is so sick, I just wish every track they made had that same energy.
I think deathcore is doing something pretty cool though, was stale for a while and recently they all got into periphery and meshuggah and now they go double hard.
I do think that’s cool but it’s unfortunate that I can’t find anything deathcore that has the quality of tone and riffs of something like Meshuggah, but without all of the gayness and the vocals that sound like the kind of silly metal that plays during the final boss of a Final Fantasy game.
I dunno who’s vocals you are calling gay, I think meshuggah and DCore bands mentioned all have sweet vox
the kind of silly metal that plays during the final boss of a Final Fantasy game
LEAVE JECHT ALONE!!!
That…that just made my fucking day.
Zeuss
Dr Zeuss.
Djeathcore*
needs more mids brah
open this fucking noisegate up
Posi-IMN here. Not usually into this sound but maybe I need to give more of these bands a try. Maybe I’ll find some new gym-jams in the mix! Have a great day, fellas!
It ups your testosterone by 100%
100$ srs
The new Thy Art Is Murder record is fucking sick. God tier production and god tier chugs.
What’s the opinion on that last Acacia Strain album? Loved Wormwood, but the new one just didn’t stick for me.
I felt the same.
Wormwood is easily my favourite out of all of them.
2 much skronk 4 me
wormwood 5evr
I think every band needs to have at least one song with frankie palermi on guest vox if they’re going to achieve their full potential.
i accidentally failed to specify deathcore band but maybe that doesn’t necessarily change the situation
your point is even more valid without specifying a genre imo
Taylor Swift’s new single w/ vokills from Frankie Palmeri
I back this emerging trend in deathcore. I know a lot of people disagree, but I really like the direction The Acacia Strain went on their latest album. IMO they did not tone down the ignorance – they just added djents on top of it.
I really thought I would’ve loved new TAS, I love djenty music and shit.
But eh, I just couldn’t gel with it.
Nigella, alongside Victoria Cohen, is my intelligent-buxom-mature future waifu.
Coren* Obv. I actually know my waifu’s surname….
GIADA <3
Wife Giada, Smash Rachel (you know she’s down for that freaky food shit like Nutella frosted beej sundaes)
Also thnku SYWH for converting to me into a fan of some o’ that defco: Emmire and (new!) Chelsea Grin: backard, especially in the gym (srs).
That new Bring Me The Horizon is seriously too good.
Mhmm, it’s like sex while camping.
Fucking intense
more deathcore posts pls, maybe one on cali or midwest deathcore, how deathcore replaced rap metal with poors who wear 5 year old carpenter jeans and fucked up Js, or why The Last Ten Seconds of Life and other bands that make 15 year old chix wet will never blow up until they learn to use twitter or tumblr properly b/c myspace is dead.
Thats the cool thing about these deathcore bands doing djent riffs,optimal mosh. Meshuggah’s fan base wouldnt allow a hardcore riff or an ignorant breakdown. Na what im sayin?
Actually, the shugz did bring the chugs on Contractions collapse
Basically a crossover album with the occasional “bow bow bendy string bow chuggah chuggah” riff thrown in there. Humiliative is the best example, basically crossover with a riff that sounds like it belongs on obzen.
SALT THE WOUND!
How can that be considered “mid-level” deathcore?!?!?!?!
I just never thought they were as big as say SS or Whitechapel dude.
I haven’t heard anything about them in a year or 2.
p.sure the deathcores award for best deathcore belongs to carnifex. 11 out of 10 of best deathcore band unheardofcuntsmashingballtearingamazing breakdown videos include GUNG GUNG GUNG GUNG LIE TO MY…….. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEECE
the “FINE, FUCK U THEN” in Slit Wrist Savior kills me every time. that band knew what was up, I should check out their newer albums
Awesome post, deathcore is pretty much my favorite genre of metal, and perhaps music overall. So much good shit. I only recently got spotify and have been having a ball discovering all sorts of random bands in the “similar artists” pages for bands I already knew. Also, who knew that Rose fUNOral are actually awesome?
cheers bro, lol’d at fUNOral
They do go pretty hard, I never really bothered to check them out though.
Molotov solution is another deathcore band with optimal mosh. Two-steps, chugs, breakdown,and metal as fuck parts
mah nigga
Posting to say that the last I saw of anything Salt the Wound related was that one of their old vocalists got a tattoo of Darth Vader on his face, rolls with a crew called the Mother Fucker Crew in Southern Illinois, and works at a marshmallow factory.

Also, it’s a shame that And Hell Followed With lost their vocalist to the tr00bonic plague but his new band is pretty tight.
fuck yeah @ salt the wound apreesh

AM BETTER THAN THIS
M888888
