| Though a sub-genre of metalcore, deathcore is heavily influenced by modern death metal in its speed, heaviness, and approach to chromatic, heavily palm muted riffing, dissonance and frequent key changes. Lyrics may not always be in the death metal vein, but traditional growls, and pig-like squeals are prevalent, often combined with metalcore vocals. Much of deathcore features breakdowns, a trait which is attributed to the hardcore aspect of its metalcore influence. New York death metal veterans Suffocation, as well as Maryland’s Dying Fetus, were among the first death metal groups to make the breakdown a staple in their music, although neither of these bands are considered to be “deathcore.” However, it can be noted that slam and brutal death metal acts such as Texas’ Devourment who are known to heavily utilize breakdowns may be the stylistic and musical influence on many recent deathcore acts. | ||
