Could there be another subhgenre that suits me better? I'm new here
For context, I'm newer to death core since I've only been listening to it for about 8 months. I come from a metal preference that has typically been about being heavy and angry. With artists that at least portray their on- stage character matching their sound well. Think max cavalera era of sepultura and soulfly, Pantera, early slipknot, early korn, log,etc. Basically really heavy groove. But then I randomly watched a live slaughter to prevail performance, and my ability to tolerate "deathcore vocals" instantly changed. Sending me down a delightful rabbit hole to where I am now. I use Spotify to suggest artists constantly. And I've narrowed down my favorite artists to this list, in this order:
Whitechapel
The acacia strain
Slaughter to prevail
All shall perish
Thy art is murder
Fit for an autopsy
And... Spite.
The theme seems to be mostly older deathcore. Heavy riffs with the drums being more complimentary instead of in your face. Riff Downs or beat downs ( not hating DC breakdowns, it's just like a sneeze that never comes sometimes). And consistent vocals that serve the song better, instead of hitting every vocal range just because.
Is there a genre that best suits my needs? I like deathcore, but it seems I like less than half of the artists I come across. I thought maybe it was slam, but that didn't really seem right. Old deathcore? A genre I never heard of? There's allot of terms I hear thrown around that I have no idea of what it is lol. Thanks for any discussion!
