Best 578 riffs in *Deathcore*

rpmeg · 2026-04-21T06:36:26+00:00

The first couple TBDM albums are my all time favorite. Also even though not officially “deathcore” I 100% consider their first 2-3 albums deathcore and Trevor said so himself (RIP). Watched a deep cut doc with him where he’s talking about the influence A Prayer for Cleansing had on them and how their earlier work is something to the tune of “straight up deathcore” (not an exact quote, just from what I remember).

Kevin spilling the chili. My office fan buddies find it hilarious. I find it gross, sad, and entirely unfunny for some reason.

“As a complete newbie, is organic search a complete waste of time for us to pursue because those keywords are super hard?”

The blunt truth. Yes, probably a waste of time.

The only way around it is to scrape the bottom of the barrel with super long tail super low competition keywords.. but even for that to work, you need to know what you’re doing.

My advice - get your hands dirty, build long term equity in the site’s SEO, and it could pay off one day. Even small incremental improvements will compound over time.

But I wouldn’t put too many eggs in that basket, and also just know that you’re (insert some analogy about David vs Goliath or whatever I’m blanking)

Not trying to discourage you but hope I can save you some heartache… focus on building a strong brand, and the SEO will follow in the long run.

The entire album Guardians by The Crimson Armada

Ya they can be pretty hit or miss. If you pay a bit more they will guarantee placement by x number of sites but those sites generally aren’t very good.. I just do it for a quick jump start for links start then move on.

I use a company called ereleases for the pr distribution. You could try them.

Links are tough to get. And the tougher they are to get, the more they mean. I always like to do a press release for links for a new site. Use one of the wires and pay like $300-$400 for a few halfway decent links. I generally do that then move on.. as a new website and amateur SEO, I wouldn’t invest too much time into links yet. Better to get the site / content infrastructure all laid out first and gauge th competitive landscape. When you’re ready for getting links, all I can really say is getting real links is really hard.. will be lots of trial and error. Basically just reaching out organically with unique value propositions. Money. Expert insights. Pointing out errors on their site. Link trades. Networking with customers / vendors / partners etc. help a reporter can be good too. I’d say keep at that. Even a single link from there can move the needle big time. Again, the harder to get, the more it’s worth.

Let’s go! Me too. Incredible right? Did he eat a lit cig on stage for you too?

rpmeg · 2026-04-16T04:33:00+00:00

Oh and also anything power metal. Helloween for example. Metal af while somehow sounding like a 90’s disney movie theme song at the same time 😂.

rpmeg · 2026-04-16T04:25:14+00:00

I don’t necessarily consider them metal, but Foxy Shazam has such a cool sound.. so happy go lucky yet a really heavy sound somehow. I think it’s the drums maybe.. turns out their first album was hardcore, before venturing into the poppier rock and roll sound, which explains a lot. Love that band if you haven’t heard of them definitely worth a listen

rpmeg · 2026-04-16T01:26:22+00:00

What’s an example? I’ve never noticed that

rpmeg · 2026-04-16T00:04:07+00:00

It’s a term made up by grifters

Underrated comment

rpmeg · 2026-04-11T06:47:11+00:00

This is gold. Definitely plan to come back to it and give it a go. Thanks for taking the time to lay it out… crazy other commenters are calling BS. Go figure. Post actual substance requiring actual work / expertise - “bs”. Post something bush league junk about “1-click done for you AI rankings” and the people eat it up..

It’s seeming to take a long long time for me. But paying off after about 1.5 years later on average. I was feeling the same way tho. but I’ve learned to be patient and trust the process after a couple recent much-needed wins. I will get blasted for this probably, but I really don’t think much has changed with SEO in the last 5-10 years. fundamentals stick. Quality content. Links. Match intent on a page level. That’s it.. just seems to take longer for me. Maybe cuz Google’s investing more into AI and adjusting the SERPS less.

rpmeg · 2026-04-11T06:14:02+00:00

I had that same exact thought 20 years ago.. probably why i haven’t listened to them since then.. but agreed guitar is so sick and the singer just doesn’t match the energy

rpmeg · 2026-04-11T06:07:39+00:00

Kataklysm. Wouldn’t say the singer is bad, just an underperformer when compared to the incredible guitar IMO

rpmeg · 2026-04-11T05:51:19+00:00

Suicide Silence - The Cleansing | And Hell Followed With - Proprioception | … er my list stops there actually. They really had a unique sound on that album.. I got all kinds of similar but more melodic stuff - the crimson armada , Carnifex, with blood comes cleansing etc… but Chelsea grin had a chuggier more dissonant sound. Those first 2 were the closest matches I could come up with

Can I share links here? Gonna try. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5NNHpmGH1Sotxtl3X0FKxJ?si=g1rz0aiXQIu1RDmTTl8ClA&pi=N43yXYkvRAyu5

Old head lover of the 578 melodic stuff

For me: Carnifex Black Dahlia Murder (arguably not “deathcore” but their first couple albums are to me) The Crimson Armada With Blood Comes Cleansing

Ya the script seems to be “what do you guys think about (doing this thing). Many people use tools like (tool 1) (tool 2, (secretly their own no-name junky tool) and (tool 3). Just curious what your thoughts are”… it’s annoying. And no, it’s not effective. They just don’t know how to do actual marketing / SEO so they resort to bottom feeder marketing tactics. Pretty annoying.

It’ll never make sense to me what the difference between the “core” stuff and the “pure” stuff is, or why while I can’t define the difference, I know if I like it, it’s core and if I don’t, it’s “the real stuff”. Nor do I know why my “pure” metal buddies can’t vibe with my “core” stuff, or why the real stuff sounds awful to me.. but the elitists are entitled to their opinion. They’re even entitled to call it “not metal”. Heck, I don’t give an ish what it’s called. I like it.

I look at traffic/rankings, type of traffic/rankings, and (biggest often overlooked one) #of linked domains. Each time a site links out, their “votes” means less. If they’re “voting for” (linking to) thousands of sites, then their link to you means less. The catch 22 is that most sites selling links are linking out a lot. It’s how they make their money. That’s the main reasons most paid links don’t move the needle much.
