From Wikipedia
Deathcore is a fusion genre that combines metalcore with elements of death metal. The style typically includes metalcore breakdowns, simplified death metal guitar riffs, blast beats and vocals that alternate between low growling vocals and high-pitched screams or "pig squeals". Lyrics tend to be violent, angry and personal. As a distinct genre, deathcore emerged in the United States in the early 2000s and became popular in the later 2000s.
Some of the genre's earliest examples include Antagony, Despised Icon, and the Red Chord. In the mid-2000s, several deathcore bands gained widespread popularity, some of them through promotion on MySpace, including All Shall Perish, Suicide Silence, Through the Eyes of the Dead, Bring Me the Horizon, Job for a Cowboy, Carnifex, Whitechapel and Chelsea Grin. In the 2010s, deathcore bands began experimenting with a range of other genres.
