^tell me about it.

Saw them at Mayhem fest last year...horrible. All their songs sound the same, and they arent even that good. Their singer though...at least live, he was amazing. On the record, doesnt sound like anthing special, but he pulls off some serious sh** vocally in his live performances.

I listened to this song, and it could have been good, the beginning sounded like the makings of something fantastic....and then descended into near-horrible mediocrity.

I take this band as another testament as to why deathcore sucks.

What is so "f***ing great" about them?

They play generic death metal riffs over blast beats for 1/2 their songs and breakdowns for the other 1/2.

Their singer is also a flaming a$$hole who has no respect for a crowd. He got mad at Carcass fans for "not respecting the stage" as he trampled all over people waiting patiently to see a real Death metal band.

Don't get me wrong, I like some deathcore. Whitechapel and Through the Eyes of the Dead both get major thumbs up from me. But the over glorified Slipknot style of SS is nothing to be impressed by. If you want real death metal listen to some Deicide.

^I will admit, there are some good riffs to be found in the songs I've heard. The drummer is actually pretty decent, but I havent paid much attention to the bass because, well, lets face it, it's metal lol and i already said the singer's vox, at least live, made me give a thumbs up or two..

the problem is the same one I have with the new metallica album. The SONGS are bad. their construction, their build, and their repetitiveness and unoriginality, beg to be pointed and laughed at. There's some good stuff in there, it's just all put together wrong imo.

but yeah, i think, so far, focusshift has made this topic his b****....lol

As far as deathcore goes, I'll give whitechapel, Salt the wound, and Winds of Plague some credit, but they dont validate the genre for me; I'de be fine without their music personally. If anything,I'll quantify the existence of deathcore in that it can bring fans of hardcore music into metal, maybe even vise versa, but that's pretty much it. :P

SS is definately not one of the best bands in deathcore in terms of crankin out hit-after-hit. Although there are a few songs out there by this group that certainly will rip your face off. "Bludeoned to Death," "No Pity for a Coward," "Distorted Thought of Addiction," and "Price of Beauty" are amongst their best and still give me goosebumps.
Let's face it: death metal, deathcore, grindcore, any "core" or "death" genre is gonna sound the same; it's a very basic style that few bands have revolutionized.
Mitch (SS's frontman) has an awesome voice and can get me in that moshing state-of-mind like no other. I saw them at this past Mayhem too, and I thought that they were one of the best bands there. In my opinion, "Lifted" sounded like it was gonna be one of those melodic-black-metal songs, but it fit in pretty well with all the other songs from contemporary bands.
Deathcore rox, SS rox, and if you disagree with me, then I would love to hear as to why you're commenting on an article that is centered around them. Stay metal.

to Knickers:

First off, the reason I post on an article about this band, is because I am concerned about the state of metal, and this is one of those bands that ruin it. I'm also concerned for the poor saps that get drawn into this generic chugga-chugga "breakdown in every song" crap. I want people like you, to find better music. in fact, in my next point, I will do just that.

"any "core" or "death" genre is gonna sound the same; it's a very basic style that few bands have revolutionized. "

are you mad?!?!

core bands that have changed the face of music:
Napalm Death, Carcass, Dilinger Escape Plan, Genghis Tron, Pig Destroyer, Converge, As I lay dying

Death bands that have done it too:
Death(duh), Nile, behemoth, Opeth, gojira, At the Gates, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Cynic, Dethklok, Necrophagist, Meshuggah, Hate Eternal, Hypocrisy, Obscura...

the list goes on forever if you really want to go into it. Most of these band sound nothing like each other. Genghis Tron vs. carcass. Opeth vs. behemoth. Listen and compare.

dont even get me started on "BASIC STYLE" listen to Necrophagist and Dillinger Escape Plan. then try and repeat that phrase about these genre's.

excuse the rant, I've been doing that a lot lately. :P

suicide silence is an ok band,but even though their songs off the cleansing cd sounded the same you have to think about their older music like stand strong,about a plane crash,no pitty for a coward,destruction of a staute, and the price of beauty.because of mitch's voice.also i think that his inhales sounded amazing.all and all they come out to be a great band they may not be amazing,but they're good.

I hate to ask and I'm not bashing anyone's musical tastes here, but am I really the only one here that doesn't have any interest in "core" bands at all? Is there something that I'm just not seeing in it? My 2 cents is that in general I find "core" bands and their music to be...........unorganized. The usual songs I hear always consist of drums having the "dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun" chugging sounds from start to finish, guitar "solos" randomly coming in when not needed, and the vocalist trying to dub himself over the other instruments with screeching/pig vocals. There just seems to be no beat in these songs. However I find death metal bands have a proper and steady rhythm. Another problem I have with this genre, and please don't take this the wrong way and bash me for this, is the demographic of people I see that are associated with "core" bands. Screamo/scene kids are usually the ones I always find that are connected to the genre along with the brightly colored shirts of these bands with the names displayed in the typical erratic, vomit-like lettering that you can't even make out.

This is my personal theory against all "core" genres and yet there are other fellow metal heads who seem to take a likening to it. All I want to know is: could someone maybe enlighten me on this whole mess? Is there something more to "core" music that I'm just not experiencing?

Wow. Jesse. shut the f*** up.

First off, I am out there dumb sh**. How the f*** do you think i know so much about genres and metal in general? Just reading? f*** no, you can only learn and understand half this sh** in the trenches. Besides the fact, even if I didnt do anything in terms of musical creation, a person can still tell whena song follows the same exact pattern and song structure.

Verse chorus verse chorus, chugga chugga breakdown, chorus sung louder, breakdown, chorus close. ....f*** that.

Listen to Hourglass by Lamb of god. No chorus, no verse, no repeating structures whatsoever, just fluid progressing riffing. THAT's different. And it's the sh**.

Also, I just said said in my last post that I thought winds of plague were ok. not my cup of tea, but alright. So you just suggested something to me that i already mentioned i knew about. Do you Read? or just glance at things people write and decide to tell them they dont know what they're talking about?

To Knickers:

A breath of fresh air, somebody I argue with that is still civil afterwards. thank you for that even if nothing else. seriously, thank you.

I do understand being bored by Morbid angel, not your shebang, I get it, fine, but Necrophagist is band that needs to be LISTENED to, not just glanced at. Their vocalist may make them sound bland, I'll admit, but the guitar work is where they shine. Listen to the song, "Fermented Offal Discharge" by them. If that doesnt change your mind, or at least make you raise an eyebrow, then I'll leave it alone, not yout thing, whatever. But reeeeallly reccomend them if you want to hear excellent guitar work. Tech-deth at it's finest.

As for the other bands, i would probably reccomend checking out Genghis Tron, Gojira, and Opeth, if only for the fact of how radically different they are, and then work around to the other bands after that, if you're still interested.

these songs specifically:
Genghis tron- "Arms"
Gojira- "Ocean Planet", or "Vacuity"
Opeth- "The Lotus Eater"

Once again, thank you for being at least responsive and receptive, instead of the ususal "hey f*** you" I usually get. (Ex: Jesse)

LoG may have been Metalcore at one point but they've moved into a modern Groove/Thrash direction; they're hit or miss with me.

If its going to be a -core band for me its gotta be one that's either technical (such as the Faceless), progressive (The Agonist), or melodic (August Burns Red).

"Brutal" for BR00TAL sake is not something I really enjoy.

45. Fuck_A_Name writes:

^I've never really considered Lamb of God metalcore at all. Groove metal is really more where I think they belong.

you could argue they have core elements though. their penchant for breakdowns definitely puts them up for debate on that. However, as far as I know, I really dont hear any gothenburg or melo-death influence at all, which is a defining aspect of most metalcore, so I cant really accept calling them that. ...and New american Gospel had more thrash elements than core.

I would have to re-listen to their burn the priest stuff though, havent listened to that stuff in ages, so I could be wrong on whether they sounded core at the start. :P

but yeah, most metalcore stuff doesnt interest me unless it really blows my mind and stands out, like the bands you mentioned FS.

Napalm Death are the godfathers of grind, but I smell death metal as far as their recent stuff goes. They still f***in rock irregardless.

I'm a huge fan of deathcore. It's my favorite genre. And, Suicide Silence may not be the most impressive band in that genre by any stretch of the imagination but I still don't think they're all that bad either. Like a lot of people said, they have a ton of potential and they just never really became much of anything that great.

And, I also see a lot of people here bashing breakdowns. I personally love breakdowns (I do love solos too btw). Breakdowns aren't done for talent or anything like that obviously. But what people don't get is breakdowns are done because of the feeling deathcore fans get while listening to them. When I here a great breakdown... METALGASM! It's just an amazing feeling and thats what the bands that do breakdowns are trying to give off.

Oh, and my favorite deathcore fan is by far Whitechapel. I also love Despised Icon and Winds of Plague among many others.
