Yooo 2021-2023 all the homies back to back. Thank you for including us

[@sergiobotelhomartinez5844]

I prefer more the 90s deathcore like Crawlspace, Reprisal and Deformity because you can feel the Hardcore esence and attitude.

[@forestgeist518]

The jump between 2001-2002 is wild everything up to 2001 is like almost deathcore but then boom 2002 like oh there it is.

[@psychosis8429]

Even though I always get disappointed that certain bands aren't included on these lists I do like that it helps me find new bands to listen to

[@maxr.k.pravus9518]

this is amazing, had no idea there were so many deathcore acts in the 90s, at least we both agree damonacy was the first one lol. such a completely different genre that should totally get a revival imo. on the other hand, it seems that the 00s deathcore is going through a revival around late 10s/early 20s

Damaged is the true father of deathcore, they basically played the style that became the footprint and the face of this subgenre in very late 90’s bands like confusion and darkside nyc were proto deathcores

[@rballard2730]

It’s good to hear that older stuff that I missed out on first time around. It’s patchy but there are some nuggets in there.

[@rokko4047]

The earlier bands werent deathcore, mostly NYDM. But they did have influince on the genre. Damonacy and End of One are some of my fav NYDM bands, but if youre including them, you should also include Suffocation and Internal Bleeding, since they are also NYDM bands, and IB had a lot of hxcx influince. Both being extremely influential to deathcore. I don't think damonancy is deathcore, nor many of the early bands. Death metal with hxcx influince ≠ deathcore

Correct . If it wasn’t for the NY death metal scene there wouldn’t be the groovy riffs we all love today.

[@juliogonzalez2880]

@@johndemise3990 lol you could put that label to ALL of the 90's bands of this list. With exception of Damonacy cuz that's not even a deathcore band, that a NY death metal band. All of the DM bands from there were influenced by NYHC. Considering Damonacy a deathcore bands means you would have to consider Suffocation, early Dying Fetus(even tho they werent from NY), Internal Bleeding, Pyrexia etc deathcore too which doesnt make much sense to do I think. 90's 18V for sure had that whole proto deathcore sounds like many of the bands of the 90's on this list.

No it doesn't both bands are overplayed. The video is unique for not using the most predictable bands while still conveying the evolution of deathcore :D

[@RurczakKurczak]

I understand you wanted to shout out some underground bands, but I think this kind of educational video is not a place for that and you should show the most influential bands. For example I know the deathcore after 2005 pretty well and I wanted to listen to some precursors. But I can't be sure if those bands here are relevant at all or they are just some random undergrounds which had no impact on the genre.

[@hereticdeth7986]

Whare is underoath?

[@neolbioldey]

Sir, this is a deathcore list. Underoath goes in the metalcore list

[@Linkmitch]

​@@neolbioldey underoath's first two albums (Act of depression, Cries of the past) clearly straddles the line between death metal and metalcore, if you're going to put Embodyment in this list then underoath should be in this list.

@@Linkmitch well maybe I'm just ignorant. idk I never liked Underoath

[@Linkmitch]

@@neolbioldey Bonus fact: Since underoath's second album cries of the past (2000) features black metal prominently they demonstrated the earliest example of mixing elements of metalcore and black metal. Underoath is the first blackened deathcore band. Yeah.

Im sorry but i think suicide silence deserves to be on every deathcore list also i dont feel like this is an accurate representation of the evolution of deathcore WAY too much underground bands on this list and underground deathcore atleast as underground as these bands have been the music is honestly not nearly as good the the sound quality is terrible now putting those 90's bands was good but i really thought you would have included bands that genuinely had an influence on the genre and changed the genre you know thee way your supposed to make an evolution list

[@lemmeteluboutaplayer]

This video is misleading as fuck lol those 90s bands didn’t influence the 2000s strain of deathcore. It ain’t an evolution. If this was a proper evolution then Suffocation and Cryptopsy would be on here since those are the actual bands that influenced deathcore to sound the way it does, not Damaged.
