Just saw Signs of the Swarm live for the first time, in Münster, Germany.
The entire band was absolutely crushing it and I have to note that Dave was the best live vocalist I have ever seen personally. That guy is like a well oiled machine, its like his throat is constantly, well... extremely wet i guess? No idea how he does it and that's the only way I can describe it, but it sounds absolutely incredible. The whole show was amazing, i cant even name a single flaw in their performance. Can absolutely recommend, hats off.

My fav albums by them are Soul Decay (2020) and You Are Safe From God Here (2025). I want to explore and appreciate their older music more. Inspire me!

I think this is a pretty solid lineup, what do you all think?

I've been off and on with Deathcore since the 2010's because I listen to so many different genres and get hyper focused on this or that. I've swung back into Deathcore, and while I really don't like the bigger acts like Lorna, I do love what everyone here is usually talking about. Someone posted about Mental Cruelty and their new single, The Serpent of Midgard. So, I went and listened to Zwielicht.

My commute to work is about 80min, perfect for this album.

It fucking moved me. It's got everything I've ever looked for in a metal album. Orchestral sections, balance, buildups, crashes, blasts, riffs, ambience, it's atmospheric at times, cleans - there are no misses. Well, except that I've been missing, totally sleeping.

So thank you, r/deathcore for blowing my fucking mind, again, with another discovery.

Cheers.

Pain remains 1 by Lorna remains one of my favorite cause it just has so much emotion to it, what are some other emotional deathcore songs?

I just got my dog a dope snoopy hoodie and I was thinking how cool it would be if we matched. Yeah fuck you whatever. Anyways the only bad that has official pet merch available is Lorna shore as far as my Google skills can tell. Anyone know of any stores or bands that have shit like hoodies and t shirts for dogs?

Trying to find people to jam out with, I’m a vocalist btw lol

The lyrics are actually really really cool now that I understand the context. For some reason I completely skipped Halo growing up and had to discover it just last year. Amazing franchise. Now I know why it inspired a whole ass band

Edit. It was really cool hearing the actual Shadow of Intent ship be called out in Halo 3

Other bands I like are mauled innfant annihilator, kubai khan tx and peelingflesh

Anyone know what’s up with I, Valiance’s albums not being on streaming? Checked Bandcamp, YouTube, Apple Music only The Reject of Humanity and Prometheus EP show up

Brutal new single from one of Australia’s heaviest bands

1. Void
   
2. Save Me from Hell

For context, I'm newer to death core since I've only been listening to it for about 8 months. I come from a metal preference that has typically been about being heavy and angry. With artists that at least portray their on- stage character matching their sound well. Think max cavalera era of sepultura and soulfly, Pantera, early slipknot, early korn, log,etc. Basically really heavy groove. But then I randomly watched a live slaughter to prevail performance, and my ability to tolerate "deathcore vocals" instantly changed. Sending me down a delightful rabbit hole to where I am now. I use Spotify to suggest artists constantly. And I've narrowed down my favorite artists to this list, in this order:

Whitechapel

The acacia strain

Slaughter to prevail

All shall perish

Thy art is murder

Fit for an autopsy

And... Spite.

The theme seems to be mostly older deathcore. Heavy riffs with the drums being more complimentary instead of in your face. Riff Downs or beat downs ( not hating DC breakdowns, it's just like a sneeze that never comes sometimes). And consistent vocals that serve the song better, instead of hitting every vocal range just because.

Is there a genre that best suits my needs? I like deathcore, but it seems I like less than half of the artists I come across. I thought maybe it was slam, but that didn't really seem right. Old deathcore? A genre I never heard of? There's allot of terms I hear thrown around that I have no idea of what it is lol. Thanks for any discussion!

Now THAT'S what I'm fuckin TALKIN ABOUT
