Sounds like a decent follow up to allegiance but the drumming sounds pretty meh, at least in that song. Dunno why people make their drummer out to be awesome. Pretty standard stuff imo.

apparently breakdowns breakdowns = hardcore...and since there is "growling" and "breakdowns" it must be deathcore.


as for you, sick sentence structure.

also, breakdowns = hardcore? i thought breakdowns = every genre of music ever.

as for chugga chugga breakdowns, early '90s metalcore bands adopted that from metal~

Breakdowns did come from metal.
Deathcore, technically, isn't stuff like this. It's stuff like The Red Chord, Despised Icon, Glass Casket, etc.

BUT

"Deathcore" in it's popular meaning, refers to stuff that's death metal with super slow, chugging breakdowns.
The popular meaning of deathcore is the one people on this site use.

This song fits under the popular meaning of deathcore, and it sucks.

I ask again, where's the hardcore?

sspedding
December 27th 2009
5777 Comments


I've had to explain this before
hardcore + metal = metalcore
metalcore + death metal = deathcore

typical characteristics of deathcore which are taken from metalcore include melodic death metal riffing, breakdowns. Hardcore and deathcore are completely different genres. Hardcore has similarities in metalcore because bands commonly use breakdowns which are transferred to this, gang vocals, two step rhythms and so on. Deathcore is a fusion of death metal and metalcore, not hardcore so you need to forget this idea right away.

If you are still uncertain check out any definitions of deathcore. You will find I am correct.

How is it metalcore if it doesn't have any hardcore?

witchxrapist
December 27th 2009
11117 Comments


I was using the term deathcore before everyone was throwing it around to mean any band with breakdowns and gutturals brah.

I was in a deathcore band in High School.

Also, your reasoning for metalcore and hardcore being similar, lololol wow.

Listen to the song Of Adornment And Disgust by Skycamefalling, or Anyone Can Dig A Hole, But It Takes A Real Man To Call It Home by Underoath. These songs have a lot more similarity to hardcore than breakdowns and gang-vocals (since most good metalcore doesn't have gang vocals). Why is this music so hardcore influenced? Because it's metallic hardcore, or metalcore.

Deathcore is a form of metalcore, but it focuses on death metal. Listen to Knights Of The Abyss or Despised Icon, these bands actually have hardcore pats, not just fucking breakdowns.

sspedding
December 27th 2009
5777 Comments


The hardcore elements are far more watered down, I just mentioned the areas of metalcore which they incorporate into their music. As it happens they aren't generally a huge hardcore orientated band. Is scandanavian style melo death riffing not a symbol of metalcore, are breakdowns not a huge characteristic. Both of these are present in this album which obviously means there are roots into metalcore but not necessarily hardcore. I really don't think this is too difficult to understand.

It's melodic death metal you dummy. This song (nor any other song this band has written) bears no resemblance to hardcore and it's therefor extremely asinine to call it core.

Your argument is basically along lines of validity as, "EVERY1 I NO CALLS UNDEROATH SKREAMO SO THEY MUST BE SKREAMO."

And I'm just saying you contradict yourself when you say something that is metalcore + death metal is deathcore, and then assert this is deathcore, because this isn't metalcore, because it has nothing to do with hardcore, except maybe brocals.

As for being wrong about everything, I have shown you conclusive evidence that deathcore is what I say it is but at the end of the

but it doesn't matter. All in all we will never come out with a real answer and so lets just leave it at that.

Maybe he called you ignorant because you are. You go and say that I'm WitchxRapist, which is pretty ignorant. Wikipedia is also far from a reliable source, any educated person should know that. Articles can be edited to say that Sputnikmusic is a site for homosexuals to meet and have NSA sex, so using Wikipedia was retarded. Witchxrapist has logic and knowledge of various genres to back what was said.

Go ahead and think I'm Witchxrapist, it only justifies when you were called ignorant in some earlier post.

Should I go and rate some album generally disliked by this "community" a 5 in order for you to ridicule me properly?

Soon after another person comments, the second account thing was sarcastic but you failed to realise that obviously. However the person who comments fails to read the thread also and calls me a douche for supposedly disregarding witchxrapists comments when as I quoted "but at the end of the day you have your opinion and I have mine", "All in all we will never come out with a real answer and so lets just leave it at that."

I have for some reason been trying to explain my part in this argument but you obviously don't pay attention and continue to use your internet anonymity so you are able to satisfy your own power needs.

It was a sarcastic comment about the second account thing. I don't care whether you believe me or not but I am tired of this, quote me the bashing comments towards you before this post and fair play. If you decide to call me a douche once more then fair play, thats embarassing.

Thank heavens. Had to stay away from this nonsense. Arguing over a band's genre is a ridiculous exercise in futility. These labels are inventions that have made us all lazy and pigeonhole music instead of expanding our horizons to check out a band even though their square peg doesn't fit in the round hole we are looking for.
