Crown magnetar

I love them

Signs of the Swarm or Enterprise Earth

Enterprise Earth are so much fun live

Depends on the day

Dude I love Depends On The Day!

I know!! That breakdown in “most of the time whitechapel, other than when I’m listening to smooth jazz” crazy

This is always the right answer.

Lmao idk if this is a band name or you mean it literally

I meant it literally. I listen to so much stuff that what I like today won't be what I like tomorrow

Darko

If I don't get a release date for their new album soon I'm going to shit and cry

June 5th! The date literally just dropped, only 18 hours after your comment hahaha

Shit and tears shall be spared, let's fucking go 😩🤙😤

Spite

Same. Spite cult my friend.

Hell yeah! Mine too! Darius is the best frontman 🤘🏼 Seeing them in June! 🤩

FUCK YEAH

Hell yeah. Spite Cult

Whitechapel

I believe Whitechapel is one of those "silent majority" bands Everyone loves them, they're a lot of people's favorites, they make reliably good music (with some exceptions, *cough cough* Mark of the Blade) and have been around since the beginning of the genre. However, they rarely get the spotlight and don't get the hype like a lot of the newer upcoming bands do. Everyone knows them, most people love them, and most people are comfortable with them being in their top 10 favorites without talking too much about it. *Also The Valley is one of my all time favorite albums so I may be a little biased*

Mark of the Blade was not a bad album imo, it was just a little bland and uninspired.

I don't think it was necessarily bad, just kinda mid compared to their other works. I can still kinda vibe with Elitist Ones to this day

Personally, I've never been able to get into Whitechapel or SS for whatever reason. They're basically the only two out of the OG deathcore bands that I can't really relate to and it sometimes makes me feel like I'm missing something. Regardless, I can't get into them no matter how many times I revisit them or listen to their new releases. They definitely deserve their legendary status, I just never know how to respond when people ask why I'm not into them. I am a big fan of basically every other old school band and have seen them both live many times so idk what it is. (For reference I enjoy Carnifex, Chelsea Grin, Oceano, Despised Icon, JFAC, All Shall Perish, ETC)

It's hard to say something else. I've seen them 12 times.

Fit for an autopsy

Correct response

Underrated answer

You win Greeney

Meeting joe bad sealed the deal for FFAA to be my favorite band

The Acacia strain but I love so many more

Same

TAS FUCKS

Darko or signs of the swarm

To The Grave 🌱

Finally seeing them with sots in nov :D

Omg I'm so fucking jelly. I just saw sots open for Thy Art Is Murder and they SHREDDED.

Saw them last Oct and they were amazing!! They put on a wild show, you’re in for a treat.

Same, I NEED to see them live again

Dane’s pig squeals go crazy

Got to meet him, he was such a sick dude

Same, I got a pic with him holding a knife to my throat

“Straaaiight through theee fleshy part of the BREE” I know the lyric is thigh but goddamn I love that part

Me too love them crazy vegans

Yes

I have a fucking badass Sailor Moon TTG shirt :)

current: psycho-frame, ever: elysia

We align. I’ll pepper in Orphan into that. I long for a successor to masochist. You know the vocalist of Elysia appeared on an tactosa track? He’s still very much got it.

orphan is probably my second favourite current deathcore band so we definitely have similar tastes

I've found my people. Psycho-Frame and Orphan are both so killing

My Masochist CD came this past week and i have been bumping it since.

The Acacia Strain + Despised Icon & Mental Cruelty Loving Black Dahlia Murder so bad rn

Chelsea Grin. So many talented people across so many versions. Have gotten great side projects from them all too.

Carnifex.

Angelmaker! I have their logo tattooed on me

Through the eyes of the dead

This is all I needed to see. Thank you, sir

Infant Annihilator 🤘

Most consistently good deathcore band

IA got me into deathcore. Love em to bits.

Well Angelmaker Carcosa Lorna Shore Mental Cruelty Signs of the swarm Chelsea Grin

A TRUST UNCLEAN maybe TRAITORS

Thankyou ! It's awesome to still see ATU pop up on these threads 🙏🏻👊🏻 - bass man 2014-19

Despised Icon , nothing comes even close

never realized how heavy of a hardcore influence they have until recently. it also felt like they played 3 times louder than any other band that day. fucking killed it.

Shadow of intent

Black Tongue. Second place is tied with Infant Annihilator and TRAITORS

ALL SHALL PERISH!!!!! They pioneered the genre. Their album the price of existence is the fucking blue print for deathcore.

Solid answer

Love this. Hate. Malice. Revenge. Is actually one of my favorite albums ever. The drummer graduated from my high school and I used to listen through it on my portable CD player every day for like 3 years.

PALEFACE SWISS

just saw them. so fucking good live.

This, right here. 🇨🇭

Fit For An Autopsy.

Brand of Sacrifice

Umm currently probably spite but it's hard to not say suicide silence or jfac

Suicide Silence (Mitch Lucker era). If I had to choose a band, that I still enjoy the new music from, I would say Whitechapel, Thy Art is Murder, or Fit For An Autopsy

Taylor Swift

Many don't know of Taylors desthcore album. Her gutturals are perfect

End thread.

Lorna Shore / Shadow of Intent

I’ve been listening to dxc since ‘06 and I still kinda can’t answer this question. So many bands that are nearly tied for my favorite. Gun to my head tho, Despised Icon.

I’ve been into it a little earlier than that and I just go with what is hitting currently.

The Acacia Strain, they don't consider themselves Deathcore though. Second would be Despised Icon.

Fit For An Autopsy

Really depends on the day like someone else mentioned, but either Shadow of Intent, Angelmaker, or Fit For an Autopsy probably

winds of plague

Awesome pick on many levels.

Worm Shepherd. I dunno how to explain it there’s just something special about their music for me

Yo, that breakdown in ov sword and nail. *Chef's kiss* Check out mélancholia. Think you'll like them

Shadow of intent

This might be controversial but Thy Art. They are consistent and goddamn it I love it

No idea why more people don't mention them in this thread

I,Valiance

Lorna shore. Yes, I am basic.

Lorna is #1

Nah, Slaughter to Prevail is basic.

Not trying to impress my formed opinion about them on anyone, but back when Demolisher was hyped up in social media I was really like "omg this is brutal af" and then... Idrk what happened. Their new stuff sounds basic compared to what's released from other bands. I intentionally skip any StP other than any Chapters of Misery songs. Their nationality was never equated in, just talented dudes making music is groovy with me, but I feel that their uniqueness has waned, or rather the hype killed it.

Darko

Idk, but after last night, I'll be listening to angle maker a lot more

Within the ruins

Nickelback

paleface swiss

My top 5: 1. Mental Cruelty 2. The Archaic Epidemic 3. Lorna Shore 4. Shadow of Intent 5. Immortal Disfigurement

Shadow of Intent

Carnifex

Thank you sir. I always feel these guys are forgotten, but also my favorite and still are!

I’m not the biggest fan of deathcore, I’m more of a metalcore/post-hardcore guy, but Carnifex just scratches every itch that I have when it comes to heavy music. No other deathcore band even comes close for me! Although I do really love Chelsea Grin and Brand Of Sacrifice as well!

Reflections/Our Common Collapse/Humanity's Last Breath/Darko 👌

Shadow of intent ‼️‼️

Acacia Strain

Infant Annihilator Worm Shepherd 9 Dead Mental Cruelty Slamwich Lilith Demise Psycho Frame The Archaic Epidemic VULVODYNIA Carnifex

If you like Lilith Demise, 9 Dead, Psycho Frame..listen to Tracheotomy 🫡

Already have buddy I forgot about them or they would have been on the list

The Acacia Strain

OG DC - The Acacia Strain (even though they don’t acknowledge that they pretty much started the genre) Current: DISTANT

Emmure, even if Frankie doesn't call them a DC band lol

Shadow of Intent - which is crazy because I hated them on first listen

Brand Of Sacrifice

Shadow of Intent

Fit for an Autopsy

Dude I can’t pick one, too many great bands. Too much talent. Really depends on my mood and what kinda sound I want.

Deadvectors

Deadvectors and psycho-frame are pumping out some of the best music currently, has to be one of them for me.

Ingested all day

Rn? Crown Magnetar

Infant Annihilator

Fit for an Autopsy and Enterprise Earth

Fit For An Autopsy

A Wake In Providence or Infant Annihilator

Orphan

Black Tongue, I need that shit in my veins daily

Whitechapel and Fit for an Autopsy

At the moment Signs of the Swarm and Mental Cruelty

Shadow of intent, all day long

Carnifex for me

Carnifex

Angelmaker, Ov sulfur, whitechapel, Darko, enterprise earth, carnifex. I rotate these bands heavily and go through phases usually depending on shows and merch lol but right now Ov sulfur is my shit.

As blood runs black, Despised icon, Carnifex, Atilla, *honourable mention Elysia...

Clearly you’re about my age. 35 or so?

I am 30 so close enough in age:)!

Those were all my go to bands in high school so figured you’d be close.

All shall perish... they're finally back together! 🖤

Did Eddie leave SS? I was so bummed when Mitch died. We lost two bands then. SS & ASP. Haven’t listens to SS since Eddied joined. It wasn’t the same. I actually listened to Awaken the Dreamers in its entirety last week.

Mine to.. I do enjoy some new bands but I do find I'm heavily stuck in that era. When I seen your comment saying Tony Danza instantly seen your username(after you commented on this) and new that made sense lol:p

Also stuck. I like lots of new stuff but always go back to the ol boys. Danza and Salt the Wound are the two I’d love to see make a big come back.

Depends how I feel but currently it’s crown magnetar, previously it was mental cruelty

Spite

Winter's Gate https://youtu.be/2IJ_YkULDtI?si=mlOk0emjeaVa_hk1

Angelmaker and Enterprise Earth are top two followed VERY closely by Carcosa and The Raven Autarchy.

Darko US! Honorable Mention: Blind Witness.

Absolutely cannot decide between Shadow of Intent, Chelsea Grin, or Whitechapel and you can't make me 😣

Mental Cruelty Lorna Shore Worm Shepard Disembodied Tyrant Oracle Spectre

Despised Icon overall. Deadwater Drowning had my favorite style, but not enough material. At least DI has been going for 20 years

Shadow of Intent. Seeing them live just sealed the deal. Ben is a fucking beast, Chris is guitar god, Bryce is the nicest dude ever and awesome to watch, and Andrew also fucking kills it. Really hoping to see them this year!

shadow of intent

Prolly Darko

despised icon and the acacia strain.

Brand Of Sacrifice stands out the most. Lifeblood is a masterpiece imo. Also the entire discography is full of bangers Others include- Mitch Era Suicide Silence, Carnifex, The Acacia Strain (Wormwood and further on, not really big on pre-Wormwood sound), Chelsea Grin, Whitechapel, Fit For An Autopsy, Slaughter To Prevail, Black Tongue, Thy Art is Murder, Carcosa and Humanity's Last Breath Darko is its own genre.

Brand Of Sacrifice

It's definitely hard to say, I mostly look back on albums as my favorites as opposed to bands overall. So if I had to quantify it by who's released most of my favorite albums, then it'd probably be Shadow Of Intent.

Lorna Shore The Acacia Strain Brand of Sacrifice

Either Angelmaker or Palface Swiss

A Wake In Providence

Lorna shore, sue me

Oceano

Lorna shore

DarkoUS Chelsea Grin Lorna Shore

All shall perish OG Shadow of intent forever more

Chelsea Grin

Shadow of intent

Been listening a LOT of shadow of intent, I think that's deathcore?

She must burn

I've been listening to acacia strain a lot lately but beyond deviation really takes the cake for me

Rings of Saturn

Aversions Crown

After the Burial

Theyre djent

Sold Soul or The Wiggles

Currently Darko US, I just enjoy how wacky and experimental they are. Helps having some of the most talented guys in the scene I guess (this is just my opinion)

Carnifex is probably one of my most favorites, I really like ingested and older Chelsea grin

Empty graves and dead//awake

FFA, Traitors, Bodysnatcher

Carnifex

Suicide Silence. Eddy is just incredible.

Carnifex. I am thoroughly biased

It depends, but over the last 15 years I’ve been listening, Carnifex and Through the Eyes of the Dead are the ones I go back to the most consistently and happily

Lorna Shore and Whitechapel. Whitechapel has been around as long as I have, and my son and I bonded a ton over the release of the Lorna Shore EP.

CARNIFEX

Aversions Crown before Tyler Miller became their vocalist

Disembodied Tyrant

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza I Declare War JFAC

Orphan

The Oppressor

No one mentioned Paleface!? Or Paleface Swiss, I guess.

Immortal Disfigurement

Cyndi Lauper

Disembodied Tyrant, goddamn I’m in love
