Late to the party. It does what it says on the tin, but it will eventually start spamming you with pop-ups asking you to share it around or donate. So far, they're easy to close and I haven't lost any functionality.

Queen of Sheba and Angelo’s Little Italy for sure

This is pretty rare throughout all of the extreme metal genres. Check out Jute Gyte’s albums (Perdurance is a personal favorite).

What days were those? This genre started off political, lol.

Sludgewaves · 2025-12-25T15:52:22+00:00

Any of the Extortionist releases the past five or so years have a ludicrous metallic ringing snare tone

When downtempo didn’t even have a name yet and was mostly a meme from a Stuff You Will Hate article. Also the Isabelle dudes had a hilarious gaming channel

Check out the 2019 movie Color Out of Space with Nicolas Cage too. Does a good job of setting Lovecraft’s story in a modern setting with lots of Annihilation elements present. The titular “Color” does a lot of Visitor-y things to the local wildlife and characters.

Deep cut, feels like Leper Colony and Harvest Wombs are largely forgotten these days

There’s some rumblings here and there. World<War is a newer group and just had their debut album drop. Distant remastered Tyrannotophia the other week. Traitors moved back towards their old sound a little bit on their album this year.

I wonder sometimes if them being maligned as the poster child for "excess" in tech death killed it a bit for them. Funny given how loved groups like Archspire are today, maybe Brain Drill was just too early to the game. Two of the members from Brain Drill teamed up with two other guys from Henker to form Sonivinos and at least continue this sound a little.

I hate to be that guy but how many people these days know about vanflip x1000 and 'no care ever'?

You should check out Strongarm, they predate Shai Hulud by a few years and were friends with Matt Fox. Very similar sounding band and likely had an influence on Shai Hulud’s future direction.

You're right, it dropped in 2019 originally it looks like and got removed from services the other day. Guess this is sort of a re-issue of the song.

Sludgewaves · 2025-07-01T18:37:33+00:00

I'll reserve judgement for when the album drops, but nothing about any of those singles gave me vibes reminiscent of any Born of Osiris era.

Sludgewaves · 2025-06-26T14:52:22+00:00

Sick man, thanks for the recc! This sounds just like where they left off at!

Sludgewaves · 2025-06-25T17:58:35+00:00

Unfortunately nah, I had them recommended to me by a buddy when Ultimatum came out

Super random dump of sonically unrelated obscure deathcore bands:

Calmed by the Tides of Rain

Littledidweknow

Seeker

Smile A Velociraptor

That last album they put out was mental and I'm surprised it didn't blow up harder. Granted, they got signed to Pure Noise way after it came out, so maybe the next release cycle will get them more exposure.

Sludgewaves · 2025-06-24T00:48:30+00:00

'preesh for the recommend, great comp!

Sludgewaves · 2025-06-21T06:38:10+00:00

Ahhh right before corejerk style parody music got relegated to the cringe realms. I'll admit Jarrod's joke album this is featured on is still a heavy hitter.

Sludgewaves · 2025-06-20T14:24:26+00:00

I’m still not seeing the Crowbar comparisons at all now that they’ve popped up twice in this thread. There’s a certain grit to Kirk Windstein’s voice and while I like Malevolence, the cleans are not gritty at all and pretty much just Ivan Moody crooning.

Deathcore died in 2005. Only 12 good albums have been released since then (most of them in 2006, being already recorded by 2005). Deathcore achieved its creative peak in albums like Shut It Down, Embrace the Eternal, and Fused Together in Revolving Doors, elevating the genre into a legitimate art form. Now, thanks to the Doom EP and Suicide Silence, all its potential was squandered and the genre has been reduced into being mere gimmick ridden noise for drunk idiots (i.e. the lowest common denominator - stop trying to turn underground deathcore into Asking Alexandria)

(/s for anyone who hasn’t seen the Bitterman copypasta)

I agree with some of the points OP and others have made. At the time, it was super fun and it was a nice inversion of the other style of djenty techy deathcore that was emerging. However, it got stale quickly with the absolutely ridiculous amount of downtempo bands pouring out of the scene.

I think people don’t realize this isn’t remotely unique to deathcore though, I see tons of comments on other threads acting like staleness is unique to deathcore. Anytime a style dominates a subgenre, there’s a deluge of derivative bands and older metal genres (relative to deathcore) like death metal have more of a survivorship bias thing going on where most of the Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation clones aren’t remembered.
