DEATHCORE DEATHCORE DEATHCORE
Monday, June 29th, 2009 at 3:00pm by Axl RosenbergSome miscellaneous news regarding metal’s most divisive sub-genre…
- Winds of Plauge have released a teaser video for their new album, The Great Stone War, which you can check out above. The artwork is certainly epic as fuck; hopefully the music will follow suit. Century will release the record on August 11.
- Suicide Silence are currently streaming their new album, No Time to Bleed, on their MySpace page. Vince and I both dig it; give it a listen, then come back here and tell us why we’re right or wrong. The record will be released tomorrow, also on Century.
- Job for a Cowboy are streaming another new track off their forthcoming Ruination, which Metal Blade will release on July 7. Entitled, “Regurgitated Disinformation,” you can hear the song on the band’s MySpace page. And then come back here and, of course, argue about it until you’re blue in the face. Or blue in the keyboard. Or whatever.

I don’t think Job for a Cowboy or Suicide Silence deserve to be lumped in with arm-gesturing, LA-wearing slam wiggers like Winds of Plauge.
agreed
I absolutely agree 100% Bryan.
I am pretty liberal when it comes to metal. I do not mind the bands that are commonly lumped toghether and labeled “deathcore” BUT Winds Of Plague is one band that I just cannot stomach.
Oh, come on. Sure, Winds of Plague might be “slam wiggers” or what have you, but I wouldn’t put Suicide Silence on a pedistool over them. I mean, they aren’t THAT bad. And have you heard Angels of Debauchery? Fucking EPIC.
Man, I seriously don’t get what’s so great about Suicide Silence. I’ve listened to both their albums now and it just sounds like an amateur death metal cover band with mediocre vocalist along with downtuned, fart-like guitars and completely free of memorable songs. Whatever, I’m content listening to real metal like Maiden, Priest, Blind Guardian, Emperor etc… But as far as Deathcore goes, Carnifex are way more skilled.
I agree, Winds of Plague can come off a bit wigger-esque… but they do deserve credit for being one of the more unique deathcore bands out there. The new album really was epic.
However, I do agree with you on one point. I don’t think that Job for a Cowboy and Suicide Silence should be “lumped in” with WOP either– they’re different bands with different sounds.
In case you didn’t know.. the new JFAC album leaked.
Pretty sure Genesis and Ruination aren’t deathcore albums.
And you’d be pretty wrong about that.
Obviously you dont know what your talking about.
I’ve listened to Ruination several times through. good luck finding any breakdowns in any of those songs, tim.
Pretty sure you’ve never heard a Job For A Cowboy album all the way through post Doom.
So pretty much that video has shown that yet ANOTHER concept album is coming out? I agree though, the artwork is intense.
I saw WOP at Summer Slaughter last night, they were terrible.
Yeah, I saw them in SD saturday and was expecting a good set. I thought the latest cd was ok, but the live performance sucked balls.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Job For a Cowboy have not been deathcore since the Doom EP. This new album is some of the most intense death metal i have heard this year and i never thought i would say that about JFAC. While Suicide Silence have still maintained much of their previous sound they have also ventured off into other areas progressing the sound that many of the new bands are now copying. This progression of theirs is seperating them from the deathcore pack by adding solos and ambience to their sound. While i have never been a fan of WOP the trailer was truly epic and that sound clip sounds more promising than any of their previous efforts. We will see if they can break the mold and have their own identity in the most hated sub genre of metal.
I’ve had the Job For A Cowboy record for a week now (received legitimately from Metal Blade, mind) and have figured out why I’ve kept that band at a distance: no hooks. In listening to the new record, sure it’s heavy, sure it’s bruuuutal and has some really great chops, there’s nothing lyrically or musically hooky about any of the songs on “Ruination”.
Exactly my point. That’s what I don’t like about all that tech-death stuff like Dying Fetus and what-not. All technical precision and inhuman vocals but completely free of any memorable songs and no difference between any bands in the genre. Besides Nile, there is nothing redeeming about tech death
JFAC is supposed to be getting AWAY from Deathcore…
The wigger slam wiki page is back up for any potential contributors
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigger_slam
I remember when I first watched the video for the imapler by WOP I busted out laughing for minutes, I was literally in doubt that the video matched the audio until they showed a guitarist. damn wigger slam or whatever you call it….
the clip is aparody about hip hop clips if you didn’t know
all of this shit sucks
WOP is by far one of the most unique deathcore bands out there, i also listened to Suicide Silence last night (through all No Time To Bleed) and it wasn’t that special or unique, except some parts of it, and JFAC is not deathcore anymore, Genesis ruined them in my opinion
Yes Deathcore is now a modern metal music
My Favorite band is
Suicide Silence
Carnifex
Whitechapel
Heaven Shall Burn
We Are The End
Rose Funeral
But WOP is less better to me
i think this band is deathcore isn’t it?
yep..not so sure about heaven shall burn but these are the leading deathcore bands today
and despised icon
actually WOP is a black metal infused deathcore band, JFacs new album destroys all thier previous attempts and Suicide silence’s new cd blows big dick honsetly. and WOPs decimate the weak was amazing, thier new cd however may ruin them. wigger slam come on they dress scene as fuck, just because they wear flatbilled hats does not make them wiggers. live WOP is terrible beacuase thier sound is organized like a symphony and only on the cd can you really hear the keyboards leading the music.
wigger slam? you ppl are serious? WOP is metal as metal comes! straight from having epic breakdowns to song topics.. just because the vocalist dresses like a G they are catergorized differently? so called “metal heads” are the people the bitch about these sub-genres but they are infact the people that make them. disgusting!
lol@people who analyze shit more than the bands do
