Deathcore is an extreme metal fusion music genre that combines elements of death metal with elements of metalcore or hardcore punk, or both.[1][2][3][4][5] It is defined by an "excessive" use of death metal riffs, blast beats and use of hardcore punk breakdowns.[6][7] Deathcore seems to have most prominence within the southwestern United States, especially Arizona and inland southern California (most notably the Coachella Valley), which are home to many notable bands and various festivals.[8][9][10][11]

Characteristics

Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord.

Traditional growls and screaming are common,[6] while clean vocals are very rare and only present in certain occasions of select songs. Deathcore is defined by breakdowns, blast beats and death metal riffs.[6] Bands also incorporate guitar solos and melodic riffs similar to those in metalcore.[12] Like in other extreme metal genres, deathcore guitarists down tune their guitars to give their music a heavier sound, most play in drop B or drop A tuning. In more recent bands, 7 string, and 8 string guitars are gaining popularity, making an even lower tuning possible, and quite common.

History

The term deathcore originated in the mid 1990s; in 1996, Nick Terry of Terrorizer magazine wrote: "We're probably going to settle on the term Deathcore to describe the likes of Earth Crisis (as well as the more NYHC-ish but still as Deathly Merauder)."[13]

Decibel magazine wrote that death metal band Suffocation were one of the main inspirations for the genre's emergence by writing: "One of Suffocation’s trademarks, breakdowns, has spawned an entire metal subgenre: deathcore."[14]
