Deathcore.

*Wikipedia excerpt*

Deathcore is an amalgamation of two musical styles: metalcore and death metal. While similar to slam death metal and deathgrind, deathcore's aesthetics and following are more closely related to metalcore, but is at the same time influenced by death metal in its speed, heaviness, and approach to chromatic, heavily palm muted riffing, dissonance, and frequent key changes. The lyrics may not always be in the death metal vein, but traditional growls, pig-like vocals (known as "pig squeals"),(pig squeals are actually found in grindcore), and shrieks predominate, with metalcore vocals rarely being used. Though the genre's breakdowns are attributed to a metalcore influence, death metal bands have long used breakdowns, as can be heard on Morta Skuld's 1991 demo, Prolong the Agony. Death metal veterans Suffocation were also among one of the first death metal groups to make the breakdown a staple in their music. It should be noted that the New York death metal regional music scene also shares these prevalent breakdowns through the inevitable influence of the local New York hardcore scene over much of the area's sound.

Some bands, such as Abscess, Unseen Terror, and Six Feet Under, have used the term "deathcore" to describe hardcore punk/death metal hybrids. However, these groups have little in common with the metalcore-derived bands of today. "Deathcore" was also used as early as the mid-1980s by at least one extreme metal band, Germany's Blood, though the group used "deathcore" only as the title for their 1986 demo. It should be noted that many of these earlier deathcore groups were formed by members (or future members) of established death metal acts, including Shane Embury of Napalm Death, Chris Barnes of Cannibal Corpse, and both Danny Coralles and Chris Reifert of Autopsy.

As with most sub-genres affiliated with modern-day metalcore, there is a strong feeling of backlash and resentment from traditional metal and extreme metal fans who feel as though their music is being co-opted and cashed-in for profit, and that bands such as Job for a Cowboy and Despised Icon don't truly understand or appreciate their sub-culture. Though there are clues to the opposite (stemming from interviews and pictorials of the band members in standard death metal fan regalia, including camouflage shorts and t-shirts), many would argue that metalcore-derived genres have a dominant feeling and aesthetic that does not truly mesh with purist metal subgenres, creating a tacked-on feel to the music that has caused many bands to find themselves mislabeled or attacked through the internet and in print in critical chastising, even before normal musical development can occur.

Deathcore bands of the present enjoy a mild success, e.g. All Shall Perish's 2006 album, The Price of Existence sold 10,000 copies, while Despised Icon's latest LP, The Ills of Modern Man sold more than 2,000 copies its first week.

vicoden and dxm

500+mg of dxm and 15-20 mg of hydrocodone

Creates a feeling that is unmatched by any substance I've tried. If you've like both substances try this you wont regret it

Smoke a j or 2 before you pop them it intensifies it for me but varies person to person (could ruin the entire experience if weed makes you paranoid.)

DXM

Dextromorphan Hydrobromide (DXM HBr). A small dose supreses the part of the brain that causes you to cough while increasingly larger doses cause you to TRIP THE FUCK OUT. Becomes a full blown hallucinogin after about 900mg.

DON'T TRIP ON DXM BY USING CORICIDIN COUGH AND COLD! C.C.C. has an extra active ingrediant which can kill you. Use Robitussin products or if you are in Canada get Contac CoughCaps because they contain nothing but 30mg of DXM.

dxm

a type of cough supressant that gets you FUCKED UP and trippin balls at high doses.

good effects (what people take it for):
-dizziness
-dissociation
-altered time perception
-blurred vision
-"cartoonish" tint to vision
-static-like tint to vision
-visual and auditory hallucinations at high doses
-delirium (thinking that a tree is talking to you, etc.)
-intense euphoria (happiness)
-strong feeling of connection with others (compared to the effects of ecstasy)
-wide-awakeness

bad effects (what people hate about taking it):
-possible nausea and vomiting (depends on if you have a weak stomach or if you are nervous)
-possible paranoia (depends on mood and surroundings)
-decreased sex drive (not only does the thought of sex never cross your mind, but even if it does you'll find it extremely hard gettin a boner or gettin in the mood)
-pupil dilation (dead giveaway if you're on it, i reccomend staying away from parents or other people who can't know that you're tripping, or at least never looking them in the eyes)
-"bug eyes" (makes it look like you're scared or surprised all the time, which can also be a giveaway that you're on something)
-increased heart rate (dangerous if you have heart or blood pressure problems)
-zombie-like walking (makes it look like you're hypnotized, which can also give away that you're on something)

overall a great drug to take for a legal high, can be found in medicines such as coricidin cough and cold, robitussin cough syrup, and almost any other over-the-counter cough medicine. can also be purchased in pure powder form from your local drug dealer. the main drawback to this drug is that someone can tell you're on something just by looking at you when you take it, so it's definitely not easy to hide unless you are really experienced with it. if you're a beginner i recommend tripping in a safe environment where your parents or anyone like that won't see you, such as a friend's house or a party. also, be careful when taking it in form of ccc (coricidin cough and cold), as it contains an extra ingredient that is a deadly poison in high doses (this shit got me put in the hospital, so i know what i'm talking about). also there is an overdose limit, so don't overdo it. make sure you read up on the effects of the drug thoroughly before taking it from a reputable source, such as erowid.org. happy trippin...
