GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1992

[Phylactery]

Plenty of deathcore is in fact metal, what a silly opinion. There are quite a few deathcore bands (and I'm not that familiar with the genre) that are mainly death metal with some influence from hardcore. That small influence doesn't mean they're suddenly not metal. Of course, some lean more towards hardcore than death metal and that would make them primarily a hardcore band.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

no, they're not metal because its cool to hate deatchore(as shitty as it is) around here. Dont you know, UMF defines what is and isnt metalz.

 

[Krow]

Because the band I mentioned in my post, Samael, obviously has anything at all to do with deathcore.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

no, just wanted an opinion on one of your favorite metal subgenres.

 

[CiG]

Two deathcore bands are more death than core and suddenly the whole genre is metal? Makes sense.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

are you claiming deathcore does not falll under the metal umbrella too? Oh this just keeps getting better and better.

and TWO? thiiiiis guy is friggin hilarious!

 

[The Ozzman]

No.

Explain your reasoning

(as shitty as it is)

Yeah, you're clearly above it all, my friend.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

im going to remind you of that ridiculous statement for years

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Explain your reasoning

In all honesty, I may be wrong. However, I haven't really taken much of a chance on the genre since each band I came across years ago was simply headache-inducing. Didn't like any of them. Also, many of them seemed to lean more towards hardcore punk than death metal so that may have influenced my opinion somewhat.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

You ARE wrong.

no need to take a chance, deathcore is mostly littered with garbage ... like about 99% of the subgenre.

I don't agree but okay

Because I'm sure you've listened to 100% of those bands

Some definitely do, but as I said, some definitely lean more towards death metal. Anyway, I'm not interested in the genre since the limited amount of stuff I've heard from it has been, as you said, headache inducing.

 

[CiG]

Deathcore isn't metal. It's metalcore with death metal-inspired vocals.

Sure a few bands may be an exception.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I don't agree but okay

yea, "many of them tend to lean more towards hardcore punk" is a pretty ridiculous statement.

By "many of them", I was talking about the bands I had listened to during that period but please, proceed to cherry-pick.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Deathcore isn't metal.

Oh man, im running out of sig space.

 

[CiG]

Post some examples of deathcore so obviously being metal.

 

[The Ozzman]

Does that mean metalcore isn't metal then?
