I might've found some tolerable Deathcore to listen to. No joke.



I mean the breakdowns are often shit, but for the most part, there's some skill behind the material.

Downtuned Black Dahlia Murder with breakdowns.


This means I'm cool with it. These are the kind of bands I can listen to but not look at.
 
I think breakdowns are the reason the US will always be plagued with the stereotype of churning out inferior metal vs. the Europeans. Which is mostly true. I'm also listening through the rest of this album, and wow it's as if after every song another band member cuts off one of their balls. Shit. I knew I should never have given anything that has a genre label of something-core a second chance.

That attitude will end up hurting you in the long run. You're better off listening to and checking out BANDS. Not genres.

IGNORE GENRES.

Example.. here's my favorite band that most people would consider "core". The label fits, but I think this band is just above and beyond the others out there. They make this kind of metal enjoyable. For that reason alone I'll listen to them. I'll post the video with no images of the band, because that could ruin it :lol:

holy shit carnifex actually got halfway decent, they used to be a joke to my friends, especially the technician/drummers fail at double bass/correcting it.
 
Kevin, I'm sorry man but I really don't see what's enjoyable about that band much. The music's alright, but jesus those vocals need to jump off a cliff as soon as inhumanly possible.
 
I really try to be the most tolerant of metalheads, but there is nothing that can make me enjoy these deathcore bands. Even when bands like Carnifex and Job for a Cowboy throw out a lot of the breakdowns and just play regular death metal for the most part, it's always incredibly sterile and derivative and I don't understand why anyone would give a second of their time to these albums when bands like Immolation are still killing shit.

I guess the popularity comes from the labels pushing them down the kids' throats and the fact that these kids love anything with a breakdown you can karate chop to. I try to listen to all the bands that come out and it seems that the only criteria for getting signed is to have good production and a singer with sick sleeves, bro.

I have been agreeing with you abnormally frequently as of late.

As just a side note I was in Suffocation for about 6 months till they decided to go "Deathmetal - Cookie Monster BS" me and Terrance were in HS together and prett good buddies. The band was more of a Megadeth clone when I was in it. Actually 2 or 3 of the riffs me and terrance wrote were on Human Waste. Honestly the only band I could ever tolerate in the whole DM genre was Carcass. But Terrance is cool as shit and has been a friend for a long time. Its great when a band from a neighboring town makes it and does well for themself :)
 
Humans classify things. It's what we do.

Now quit feeling sorry for yourself and your people, or you never will.
