a fusion genre consisting of AMERICAN-style death metal and/or Grindcore, and general metal-core influences. Deathcore is not as Swedish/European influenced as metalcore, but still features breakdowns, frequently ad nauseum. (The Gothenburg sound is not really death metal, but a different kind of thrash metal. it still rules, though.)
SIDE NOTE ON DEATH METAL:
actually a from of Thrash Metal, the European "Death Metal" sound tends to follow established rules of harmony. Harmonic minor modes are very common, and accidentals (notes falling outside the key signature) are kept to a minimum. it tends to be based somewhat on european Classical Music, but not as much as Yngwie Malmsteen. times signatures fluctuate far less than american DM.
American Death Metal follows NO rules of harmony and finding the song's key is frequently almost impossible. diminished and/or chromatic tonalitied fly about and disonance is a hallmark. blast beats are borrowed from hardcore/punk (metal an dpunk have a long history of cross-pollenization), and time signatures tend to fluctuate usually for a jarring effect. as in any genre, some bands are just barely able to play, but the really good ones are usually masters of their instruments.

examples of deathcore would be early albums by:
Job For A Cowboy, Underoath, Throught the Eyes of the Dead, All Shall Perish.
Since then JFAC and TTEOTD have evolved to being real death metal. but JFAC fucking sucks donkey balls. they just steal old Cannibal Corpse stuff and make it even worse.
Underoath is now a shitty screamo (as in emo, but with screaming &"hard" music) band.
Deatcore is kinda gay when compared to real Death Metal, but at least its not korn.

Get the deathcore mug.Deathcore is a term that's tossed around a lot by people who really don't understand what it is. Technically, it's Death Metal fused with MetalCore; but to be honest, labeling a band as Deathcore or Death Metal can vary depending on the song you listen to.
People consider Deathcore a shitty subgenre, but in reality, it's not even a real thing. Kids that use the term Deathcore usually have the music education of a first grader with downs syndrome.
BOTTOM LINE- DeathCore is a term used by music elitists to separate music that they don't like from the genre that they listen to.
See the example

Sure, they have breakdowns, but labeling them in an entirely different genre for one 9 second segment of a song is ridiculous.

Get the Deathcore mug.the term itself doesnt exist- it was made up by a bunch of bored 13 year olds huffing on computer cleaner, and enough retards actually took it to be an actual genre. bands routinely ignore/disown the term.

Get the deathcore mug.The name "true" metalheads give to new metal bands that don't have any musical similarities other than the use of breakdowns.
Oh yeah Suffocation uses breakdowns...

Dude:Waking the Cadaver is bullshit, they should stop!
Other dude: Yes, yes they should.
