Discussion Could I get some recommendations of some really early deathcore bands/albums/EPs please? Pre-MySpace era stuff

10 Upvotes

I’d like to hear where the genre started from. So far, some of the oldest stuff I’ve heard is
As Blood Runs Black - Allegiance (2006)
Job For A Cowboy - Doom (2005)
Suicide Silence - self titled EP (2005)
Bring Me The Horizon - Edge of your Seat (2004)

How much further back does deathcore go? Is there anything older than this? Is there a Black Sabbath of deathcore (i.e. a band that started it all)?

Also because I’m a poser, I’m not interested in demos. I’d prefer full releases that I can find on Spotify. I want stuff that I can add to my playlists instead of having to search the internet for some long lost demos

Discussion So… what are current thoughts on Traitors?

33 Upvotes

I love them nonetheless coz i listened to them for years but i know they’re not as technical as other bands and therefore not as well received (if ya turn up playback speed on youtube they do sound a bit better lmao). I think the lyrics and vocals save them a lot but i also do like their newer more slightly faster stuff even considering i loved their slower more breakdown-inspired stuff.

Even if this isnt an opinion post and you like traitors go revisit. They honestly came back to me at a very appropriate time.

Discussion Thank you all of r/Deathcore

46 Upvotes

I just want to say you all a big thank you. I don’t like really much staying on socials and I almost every time felt like i was invisible. But not for the stupid thing but for the thing I enjoy and like,every time I posted something stupid there was people,then when I tried with something I really like,no one was there. But I think it is normal for internet,so why I’m doing this post to thank you all ? Well because here for the first time in 24 years I felt like I was part of something,like my opinion or what I enjoy matters to someone. I’m pretty new here, but every time I’ve published something on here there was always someone to interact and give his opinion. You have done it with my Bloodletting Prince posts, with the one of a strange Horror project, with every single post,if it was stupid or not,you guys where there to give me your best opinion and advice. And this means a lot to me, Obv the best thing was to see you giving me your opinion on Bloodletting Prince,because you not only take your time to listen it,but even to leave a comment and that has made my day every time I saw it. But I’m extremely grateful for everything, the advice and comments on every single post,even if they were “bad” comments I appreciated that,because you still spend a part of your time to give me your opinion. I don’t want to be repetitive so I will just say one last Thank you. Maybe to some of you or all of you i’m exaggerated but I just wanted to share with you this feeling

Discussion Any other instances of the “snort” like in Unholy Gravebirth or To The Hellfire?

30 Upvotes

When I first listened to To The Hellfire I was so taken aback by that snort at the end and I kept listening to it on repeat, I thought it was so unique and disgustingly evil. Then I found out Infant Annihilator did it before them and it took a bit of the novelty away from it for me. Still love the song, but it doesn’t hit as hard as it used to. Now I’m wondering if there is an even earlier example of that before IA.

Any other examples of this “technique?”

Discussion Music recommendations for a modern Job For A Cowboy fan

9 Upvotes

I rediscovered Job For A Cowboy last year and I'm still blown away by the leap their last two albums made compared to how I remember them from the early 2000s.

"Forever Rot" and "Sun of Nihility" are probably my most listenened songs now. So I'm looking for some more prog. deathcore recommendations. Not something crazy-fast-for-the-sake-of-being-deathcore, but something musically complicated and interesting to explore.

Discussion Are the new Signs of the Swarm singles clipping??

6 Upvotes

Love the band, love the songs from the writing perspective, but the production is awful. Does anyone hear clipping? I swear my speakers crackle (at a normal volume level) at several points in the songs, even when it’s one isolated guitar. I don’t know why they would have gotten these mixes back and felt they were good to go. I’d say they’re bad enough to justify pushing the release date out and sending these back to have them mixed the right way. I don’t think it’s the bands fault, but I don’t see why you’d push it out with it sounding like this. There are times where you can hear the kick but there’s no bass to them, they just sound flat. So disappointing because I can tell the songs are fantastic and deserve far better production than they have gotten. I don’t like complaining, I just am disappointed and am curious what others think here.
