You think Varg uses his welfare checks to wipe away his tears every time he remembers that Tolkien was a devout Catholic?

a handful of songs on his first few albums are a good entry-level gateway, like Rammstein and Korn. The Beautiful People was the song that got me wanting anything heavier than Green Day when I was a kid.

Just because something happens to lead into heavier music doesn't mean that it's metal, nor does perhaps having a few metal songs here and there make him a full blown metal artist. AC/DC were part of what led me down the path to metal, but I'd never claim that they were a full blown metal band.

That was pretty based kid, you can roll with us anytime

I don't claim he's metal either, just saying without him I probably wouldn't have gotten into it in the first place. That's just me though.

Testament had like one, maybe two, really great albums. There's more than enough American thrash bands of their era that can match their output that aren't in the big four.

Ok.

>one, maybe two, really great albums
you say that like it doesn't apply to the bands that are in the big four either.

Why deathcore employs such garbage and off-putting production methods to ruin potentially good music?

>awful sterile and flat kick and snare
>mushy background cymbals with no crisp or edge
>toms are just muddy background noise
>overly layered and overproduced vocals which sound completely artificial
I can even understand plugging breakdowns in every song, which are by the way completely fucking idiotic and the laziest, dumbest way to make a part groove. But the production is just so shit what the fuck. And this I've stumbled upon by far not the worst example, still garbage.

Even the good boys like Slice the Cake have a bit of that in other parts. What is this shit? Do these people have no appreciation for the sound?

Megadeth:
Killing is My Business, Peace Sells, Rust in Peace,

Metallica:
Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All

Slayer:
Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood, South of Heaven

Anthrax:
Spreading the Disease, Among the Living

Anthrax is the only one you might be right about, and even then they at least aren't excessively similar to Metallica.

Crossover is based and punkpilled. It always counts.

This.

breakdowns can be done right, but deathcore just doesn't. The trick to a breakdown is that it's gotta be either the nasty riff but slower, like Grotesque Impalement, or be more of a background for something else that's going on, like Raining Blood. All deathcore breakdowns are are le brutal 8 string open note chugs over a really simple drumbeat and it's the most pathetic thing that people just eat up for some reason or another.

That deathcore has been getting away with this one incredibly boring musical trick for well over a decade now is one of the great mysteries of music. You'd think the fans would be bored by now.

still the best thing any member of Anthrax has ever been in

Fans get bored of deathcore within a year, then new generation of 16-yearolds gets to age and the cycle continues

Deathcore fans just have the same number of brain cells as the amount of frets they use in a breakdown.
zero.

Based.
The Red Chord is great.

A good starter list:

Stormtroopers of Death - Speak English or Die
D.R.I. - Crossover
Suicidal Tendencies - Lights... Camera... Revolution!
M.O.D. - Gross Misconduct
Nuclear Assault - Handle With Care
Cryptic Slaughter - Money Talks

I would stick Scumdogs of the Universe in there, The Salaminizer is a fucking jam

No. One should get made though, crossover is based. It's one of many examples showing that metalcore is retarded for somehow fucking up the winning formula of mixing hardcore with metal.

>Cryptic Slaughter - Money Talks
I thought this was thrashcore. What's the difference?

I'd regard it as an album that definitely strays into a grey area, but I think it's still metal enough to be called crossover.

Thrash just isn't the same without at least a hundred other people going berserk with you.
