Deathcore is an extreme metal subgenre that combines death metal with metalcore. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][ 5 ] The genre consists of death metal guitar riffs, blast beats, and metalcore breakdowns. [ 6 ][ 7 ] While there are some precursors to the concept of death metal fused with metalcore/hardcore elements seen in the 1990s, deathcore itself emerg...
- The Acacia Strain - Wormwood. Before there was deathcore, there was the Acacia Strain. The band's 2000s catalog is full of prescient mosh material, but their 2010 album, Wormwood, is a genre standout that injected elements of sludge and doom into their low-and-slow style of churning deathcore.
- All Shall Perish - The Price of Existence. Years before he would fill the gigantic shoes of Mitch Lucker as Suicide Silence's new frontman, Eddie Hermida cut his teeth in the now-defunct Oakland band All Shall Perish.
- AngelMaker - Dissentient. AngelMaker's 2016 record, Dissentient, is a landmark album from deathcore's second wave. Not only are these Vancouver torchbree-ers fronted by two, equally talented vocalists, but they manage to sew a litany of melodic elements into their sound — clean guitar passages, hardcore gang-chants and genuinely gorgeous leads — without losing any ground in the ongoing war for breakdown supremacy.
- As Blood Runs Black - Allegiance. As Blood Runs Black were relative outliers in the scene who made screechy deathcore that borrowed equally from the Gothenburg metalcore sound and their deathcore-adjacent peers in the Black Dahlia Murder.
Apr 2, 2024 · Deathcore, on the other hand, is the rebellious offspring of death metal and metalcore, born in the early 2000s. It incorporates those glorious breakdowns – those heavy, slowed-down parts with chugging riffs – alongside elements of death metal like growled vocals and blast beats.
- Despised Icon – The Healing Process (2005) Although they themselves have rejected the term, Quebec’s Despised Icon are generally considered the pioneers of the genre.
- Job for a Cowboy – Doom EP (2005) It seems mad to think it now given their diminished footprint on the metal scene, but Arizona’s Job For A Cowboy were unquestionably considered the first great hope of deathcore.
- Bring Me the Horizon – Count Your Blessings (2006) They’re one of the biggest bands in rock today, but Bring Me The Horizon's roots are very much in deathcore.
- Suicide Silence – No Time to Bleed (2009) As the popularity of the genre grew, it was clear that, were deathcore to step up to the highest level, it needed to harness those elements that make any musical movement break big: anthemic songs and superstar charisma.

- Job For A Cowboy - Doom (2006) We’re cheating a little here, as Doom was technically an EP. But with Jonny Davy producing some of the most terrifying pig squeals ever committed to tape and the limb-flailing audacity of standout second track Entombment of a Machine, the power of the chug was strong within this one.
- All Shall Perish - The Price of Existence (2006) If there was ever an album to listen to as you willingly peel your own face off whilst the world burned around you, it’s this 2006 chuggernaut.
- Despised Icon - The Ills Of Modern Man (2007) It’s impossible simply talk about deathcore without mentioning Despised Icon. The Montreal natives are not just pioneers of the genre but, arguably, the very band that created it.
- Carnifex - Dead In My Arms (2007) Another band whose origins can be traced back to the MySpace explosion, Carnifex’s seething debut kicks you directly in the teeth (and then the crotch) for good measure.
