From "Poser Metal" to "Metal for kids", here is, maybe, the two most hated metal genres ever created: "Deathcore", a mix of Metalcore and Death Metal (acts such All Shall Perish and Suicide Silence), and "Nu Metal", Metal Music with rap influences (Korn and Slipknot). I choose Nu Metal. Although I am not a fan of the genre, I listened a lot when I was 12~13 to Korn and Disturbed discography. I still listen these two bands, mainly for nostalgic porpuses. For me, other acts are weak, or quite boring (Slipknot, Linkin Park and so on...), but i can't take deathcore. I tried to get into some years ago, but it's impossible for me... Annoying "self - titled hardcore metalhead fans", worthless vocals and breakdowns, emo hair and so on... Now, vote and comment for you favorite, or "the less boring", if you wish.

I voted nu metal to be honest. Although technically I'm voting for alternative metal, because shit like Limp Bizkit doesn't really impress me, but I'd take Disturbed, Mudvayne, and System of a Down over the likes of Suicide Silence.

Listing better nu metal bands versus a mediocre-at-best deathcore band is hardly fair comparision though

I can actually sit and listen to LB, where DI just annoy me. Born of Osiris and The Faceless have the same effect - although to be fair The Faceless bore me more than annoy me.

Limp Bizkit's first album is sick and raw as fuck. One of the better albums of the 90's, no joke.


I dare you to not not jumpdafuckup. And Korn's first two albums kick ass also, although pretty much everything else they've done sucks.

Meh, both genres aren't that great. There are bands from both genres I can't listen to and there are bands that I do like from both. Though this excessive usage of breakdowns in most of the newer deathcore bands these days is quite annoying.

You can listen to LB? then probably you must be really excited about their new EP coming soon.

And you, allegendly, like brutal death metal.

Somehow these two things are not compatible in my head.

Anyways listened to that LB song while indeed better than their later stuff I have to say, Fred is probably the second most annoying vocalist i have EVER heard in my life in ANY genres (first being Nicki Minaj of course).

It was so irritating I suddenly wanted to listen to Waking The Cadaver for relief (OH DA HORROR).

Incredibly easy choice for me, I don't think I like any Deathcore at all (that I can think of) and I grew up listening to nu metal

* (Allegedly.)

But I do. I've been listening to fewer and fewer death metal releases over the past two years, but I still have an interest in the genre. Brutal death still piques my interest ever now and again as well.

I started listening to nu and alternative metal before ever getting into death metal, and deathcore... is just fucking stupid to these ears. I'm not saying I give out 9s and 10s to fuckin' LB albums, but where LB gets a 5 or 6, something like Born of Osiris gets a 4 at best. And some shit like Disturbed or Mudvayne can even sap a 7 out of me.

It was a typo, duh

While the above banters were rather light-hearted I am quite serious now, I am curious why is that so.

I am not a huge fan of brutal death metal at all. I kind of like Fleshgod Apocalypse and Hour of Penance, however I don't think those bands are terribly brutal, neither do they carry most very distinguishable elements of brutal death metal as a genre. I also like a few more 'brutal' BDM bands like Defeated Sanity for example but overall I am not very fussed about the style. That is mostly because vocals tend to be very one-sided and soulless (and booooring) but also the music is often so thick that it just flows into an amorphous mass of slamming that lacks any quality that could hold my interest, which is on the long run, rather boring.

For this reason I view <good> deathcore as essentially brutal death metal done right, as those bands can use a similar formula but there is more variety to it, the vocals are much more interesting (good deathcore vocalists can use like three different vocals in one song, growling, screaming and pig sqealing thus further adding to the variety and screams carry much mroe feeling than low growls (most of the time anyways)) and I find the music has way more variety too with shifting between blasting, melodic riffing and breakdowns.

Best example would be Job For A Cowboy. I would not call their later offerings 'brutal' death metal anyways just some sort of modern death metal but, well I kind of like Doom and when they switched from deathcore to modern overproduced death metal, everyone was raving like 'ZOMGZ DEY PLAY REAL MOOSICZ NAO' 'ZOMGZ DEY GOT TALENTED DEY NO USE BERAKDOUNZ UND DA VOCALIST NAO DOES REEL DEAF GRWOLZ NOT DAT GAY ASS SKREAMING SHIATZZZ'.
Well dur, all I heard was that the vocalist stopped using three different vocal styles that made the vocal part of their songs interesting for a monotonous and boring growling and they dropped the adrenaline-rush-inducing shifts between slow breakdowns and fast blasts for mid tempo monotonous and boring riffing. Genesis was a horribly boring album for me. They got better at playing that style later but my point is made. I still don't think they have ever done songs as good as Entombment of a Machine or Entities after Doom.

With the above in mind, I am simply incapable of comprehending why is it that someone would like brutal death metal but think so lowly of essentially the best of deathcore, since no matter how I look at it, the better deathcore bands seem like new and improved BDM bands to me.
