This pleases me.

I think my only rec so far is that you swap out Whitechapel's This Is Exile for their latest self-titled. It's muy better in my opinion, even if it branches out to a little more death metal than their previous ones.

Sensory Amusia, bruh. xoxo

I'd also throw in As You Drown (debatable if they're deathcore or just pure death) and The Schoenberg Automaton here as well.

Oh I always meant to check out Sensory Amusia but for some reason never got around it, thanks for the reminders!

As You Drown, I dunno, I'd say that is death metal with deathcore aesthetics, but I also included The Breathing Process, for which I could also say the same (their first album is legit deathcore though) so I think I'll listen to them again and decide. I remember I liked what I heard when I listened to them a while ago so if I find enough xxcorezxx in it I'll probably add it.

Also will check the third rec.

I am pretty even about Whitechapel's stuffs. Except for the album they haven't released yet, if it will be like the songs they unveiled, I will NOT be liking that one.

Also got a few more albums I forgot about so will update this soon. Probably will post them just after the current list, breaking the alphabetical order to make it more easily seen what I updated.

-Yea, they are totally overrated. But what else is there?
-Idk, man.
-Me either.
-Hey, what about cows?
-Nah, Cattle Decap already has that market cornered. We don't want to look like Cattle Decap clones.
-Yea, let's be original.
-I got it!
-What?
-Horses! Let's make horses metal!
-Horses? Hmm. Yea ok, sure. Fuck it. Why not...

And BAM! Horses are the mascot of Deathcore.

I am quite neutral about that band, so I decided not to include it. Besides, while I did include some big names, that is not really the purpose of this list, everyone knows Suicide Silence.

Whorecore can be considered as much an official genre of metal as djent can.

Oh yeah, it is. It makes me sad djent has common usage while no one even dare to mention about whorecore.
