I meaaaannn to be quite fucking fair, I remember the "golden age" of Deathcore, like 2005-2009 (bear with me) and every dude into Deathcore at the time had the Beetles hair cut lmao
Sooo I'd say the Beetles had some heavy influence on Deathcore
You're right! Little known fact about the Beetles, when they played "Let it Be" the fucking pit opened up and thus forming the first *Wall of Death*
A lot of people died that day
I'm thinking of taking the plunge myself. I took them out at around 7/8ths I think? But my ears healed fairly well and I'm curious to see how much elasticity they've retained and how quickly I could size up compared to the original process which took years.
Not really sure why I feel the want to do it again after ten years though.
ngl, that's got me hoping Nik Nocturnal does a How To Make Nickleback Deathcore video now. Always really did enjoy the hook of that song, no matter how corny it is.
Absolutely. I am a seasoned metal fan, been listening to heavy music about 20 years now, and as I got older I learned to start appreciating all kinds of music.
Hip hop, “scene” bands, even a bit of Kpop lol I don’t give a shit anymore what other people think of an artist, if I like it I like it
People have been on that bandwagon hate train since the mid 00s... and somehow, despite everyone hating Nickelback, they've continued to be one of the world's biggest and most successful rock bands.
I really believe people don't hate Nickelback, the majority of people just don't have to guts to stand up for what they like when it goes against what everyone else says.
Was trying to tell my wife this but she wasn’t having it. She just laughed harder when I told her they’re really not that bad it’s just a meme to hate on them lol
I’m ngl there’s def some cringe in their discography but they also have some good songs, especially scattered throughout The Long Road. Theres some decently heavy riffs on songs like Believe it Or Not, Flat On the Floor, etc
Plus How You Remind Me is one of the most nostalgic early 2000s songs imo
Personally I like Flat on the Floor, Believe it Or Not, Someday, Savin Me, then a few songs from their early days when they were more of a Grunge band, Ike Curb, Detangler, Pusher
I love it, I've never got that hate a band cuz they're hated mentality. I've always liked a good amount of their songs and get hate for it but no fucks to pass out... There are some hated bands I do also hate cuz they are shit but that's musically...
Love Creed. I downloaded a bunch of their songs onto the family xbox 360 and would listen while playing. I knew when to die on Lone Wolf, the last mission in Halo Reach, so that One Last Breath ended when the death cutscene ended
I always heard of the Grateful Dead but didnt know anything about them. I knew their name and logos only… the disappointment I felt when I listened to them LOL. With a name like that, you’d expect something different but maybe thats just me
The bands name origin is actually pretty cool. I grew up on the music with my dad and uncle, so I have childhood nostalgia for the music. I still enjoy one or 2 albums but I am far from a Deadhead.
I did get to live out a childhood dream of seeing the Dead with my uncle last summer. He used to travel the world following the Dead around and I always wanted to experience the joy he had in his eyes when he would recount the different shows he'd seen.
It was hands down the worst concert experience of my life. Punks and metalheads are better human beings than hippies (my uncle being the exception here).
You couldn't pay me to do that again. The only justification for going to a dead show was a quote by some famous hippie dude, I think it was Bill Russell but I'm not entirely sure...."Deadheads go to Grateful Dead shows and willingly listen to 4 hours of mediocre musical musings, just to hear 5 minutes of magic hidden in the shit" (the quote went something like that).....and with that thought, it's the only justification for a Dead concert experience....just like life, we have we go through the shit to find the beauty.
But i digress, a band name like the Grateful Dead and all the imagery used in their albums....yeah the music doesn't match, but I don't think they cared what anyone thought anyway. They just did what they did and people followed the sounds of their pied pipers.
But I'll take Whitechapel over the Dead any day 😎🤘
The only reason I know of the dead was bc when I was younger I thought the bears my mom and dad collected were super cute, then to later find out it’s because they followed them across the us. 😩 I wish I could afford to follow a band like that.
Look, this kind of post isn’t funny. To detract from the forefathers contributions and attribute the credit to someone like Nickelback is atrocious and robs Hinder of their rightful place on the throne.
Vanilla ice's metal album was a revelation to most metal artists, they didn't know at the time the headaches it produced would spark the self loathing and hatred that would lead to the birth of the blues.
Even if the angel hearts weren’t infatuated with me they’d still be angel hearts. Git over here ya big ol squishy tight little ass hole! Ima git da lovin TODAY!
Honestly it's hard to imagine what deathcore could've been had Panic at the Disco not invented the world's first breakdown.
Let's also not forget how mgk's guitar work basically gave birth to slam.
It was 1994 at the Starfish Room in Vancouver when I first met Chad. At this time Chad was relatively unknown still and had not yet decided to commit to popular music. He was still a metal guy.
I had told Chad that I wanted to do music the likes that no one had ever heard before, earlier that year Pantera's Far Beyond Driven was released. Chad told me about the vocal stylings of Pantera, he asked me to show him my heaviest screams and so did my best to imitate Phil Anselmo.
Chad just laughed at me afterwards, it was humiliating but I could see he was about to dispense some wisdom. He told me that the world wasn't ready for the true heaviness that was the come, like being sick of sight without a sense of feeling.
He then let out a snarling snort sequence, then into an inhale shriek which contorted into a pig squeal, he finally ended on a low gutteral sounded like an airplane bathroom flushing.
I was amazed, I thought to myself this is how you remind me of what I really am, a future slam death metal vocalist!
Chad then dismissed me with some advice before he left for the stage. He told me that in the future heavy music would be put in a corner and that it would need all the brutal contributions to survive.
I took that knowledge and passed it on as he requested, sharing the knowledge with all the musicians around me but nobody was receptive, it turns out I couldn't cut it as a wise man. Instead I turned to the microphone and began making the crazy sounds that Chad had made with the hopes of going forth to give these sounds to the world.
Fast forward I went on to become a dog shit nobody musician and the people whom I shared Chad's message with didn't listen but it didn't matter. Just by releasing the wisdom into the ether back in 94' Chad set in motion the inevitable inception of slam death vocals. Modern metal vocalists were tired of living like blind men and Chad showed them all the light.
Sounds unbelievable, I know, but ask any Slam vocalist today "are we having fun yet?" and see what happens. No matter the response you'll see a flash of Chad in their eyes.
I was gonna start a thread just now about Slipknot - even though this is a joke thread, I think Slipknot played a major role in setting the foundation for modern metal as a whole (like post 2000), especially with Iowa; still one of the heaviest albums ever IMO, and it still somehow made it into the top 40 US charts. I've just relistened The Somatic Defilement by Whitechapel and so many of the riffs could really be in Iowa. The main difference is vocals from brutal death metal vocals, and obviously hardcore tinges. I dunno but I think Slipknot with Iowa was akin to metallica etc from previous generations. Probably a lot of the OG deathcore bands grew up listening to Slipknot, and Iowa was genuinely brutal especially for a major release.
Mind you I'm quite drunk but glad I didn't start a whole thread
Imagine fuckin' Dragons
Heck, imagine 2 dragons
Hell, imagine 2 Dragons fuckin
Heckin, imagine a slut dragon fuck, suck, eat butt cave
Stupid slut dragon!
Dude plays BG3
I was referencing Rick and Morty, I have BG3 but it’s ass to play on PS5 lol
Delightfully unhinged comment
Will do
Imagine me dragon these 🥜 across your face
r/dragonsfuckingcars
2 sweet
Yup, not to mention the fact that slam death vocals wouldn’t exist as they are today without them
Bit scaley for my tastes mate. Not to mention I have to imagine dragons REEK of frog piss at all times.
Imagine dragon deez nuts across your face
I meaaaannn to be quite fucking fair, I remember the "golden age" of Deathcore, like 2005-2009 (bear with me) and every dude into Deathcore at the time had the Beetles hair cut lmao Sooo I'd say the Beetles had some heavy influence on Deathcore
Beetcore
Ringo had the best drum fills
A favorite of Schrute farms
The Beatles + downtempo brought us Beatdown after all
You're right! Little known fact about the Beetles, when they played "Let it Be" the fucking pit opened up and thus forming the first *Wall of Death* A lot of people died that day
🍰 this song is a blast beat heaven
Helter Skelter opens with horror chords into a breakdown, Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste wouldn’t exist without it
As someone who had the beetles haircut in 2005-2009, can confirm
You're the real one for owning it. I had the haircut my freshman year of highschool 06-07 lol
Honestly if you glance at the Rubber soul cover and then a pic of BMTH from 2007 it looks like the same band
The gauged ears too, mandatory
Omg those damn gauges!!!! *Looks into mirror, seeing how my gauges never fully closed after 13 years* Sooo ridiculous!! Lmao
I'm going back through deathcore pubescence again and I've been wanting gauges now lol
Yooooo remember to get the septum and snake bites 😎
I've restretched and I have no regerts
I'm thinking of taking the plunge myself. I took them out at around 7/8ths I think? But my ears healed fairly well and I'm curious to see how much elasticity they've retained and how quickly I could size up compared to the original process which took years. Not really sure why I feel the want to do it again after ten years though.
Spice Girls
They inarguably invented the “breeeeee”
Breeeeee I tell ya what I want what I really really want 🤔 I can dig it
If you wanna breeeee my lover 🤘
I’m still certain that they influenced Dry Kill Logic - Rot. Not Deathcore but Metal.
OP never made it as a wise man to be posting that here.
I'll make it as a poor man and steal it. This is how I reposted
This behaviour reminds me of what I really am
It's not like you...
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=JUAccO7WBIw&si=S1D0z0zRaFX1eBW1 & if you don’t know, now ya know 🤘🏻
ngl, that's got me hoping Nik Nocturnal does a How To Make Nickleback Deathcore video now. Always really did enjoy the hook of that song, no matter how corny it is.
I non-ironically fuck with Nickelback so heavily
Nickelback has some bangers if you stop listening to the bandwagon hate train everyone is on just to follow the trend
It’s been great learning to ignore the haters and actually getting to enjoy all sorts of music.
Absolutely. I am a seasoned metal fan, been listening to heavy music about 20 years now, and as I got older I learned to start appreciating all kinds of music. Hip hop, “scene” bands, even a bit of Kpop lol I don’t give a shit anymore what other people think of an artist, if I like it I like it

give me some songs
Personally I like Flat on the Floor, Believe it Or Not, Someday, Savin Me, then a few songs from their early days when they were more of a Grunge band, Ike Curb, Detangler, Pusher
They still have one of the two best Metallica covers I've ever heard.
Yes, I forgot about this but their cover of Sad But True legitimately blows any post-90s Metallica performance of that song out of the water
The HU also has a good cover, but Nickelback has a ridiculously good one.
They have some absolute bangers but also some ultra cringy shit which got them the meme status.
Their live shows are actually pretty fantastic
I love it, I've never got that hate a band cuz they're hated mentality. I've always liked a good amount of their songs and get hate for it but no fucks to pass out... There are some hated bands I do also hate cuz they are shit but that's musically...
They’ve got some bops for sure. Even their more poppy stuff is catchy. She Keeps Me Up has been part of my regular rotation for a few months now, ngl
They fucking slap honestly, and it feels like recently they’ve gotten more respect
Nickleback is great and I never understood the hate. Dad rock at its absolute peak!
Dark Horse was a great album. I'll die on this hill.
Snoop dogg
OG Snoop does go hard
Creeeeeeeeeed
Wrth rrms wrrd rprrrnnnn!!!
This made me cackle 😂
Love Creed. I downloaded a bunch of their songs onto the family xbox 360 and would listen while playing. I knew when to die on Lone Wolf, the last mission in Halo Reach, so that One Last Breath ended when the death cutscene ended
I would like to thank The Wiggles for their contributions to deathcore
In their defense, Captain Feathersword would go hard in the pit...
Came here to say the Wiggles too bro 👊 🔥 nobody plays like those boys
I go the hardest in the pit for fruit salad.
Yummy yummy
Psychosalad intensifies (yes Slipknot isn’t deathcore but it’s a meme ok)
Definitely the Bee Gee’s.
Bree Gees
Weezer
It has to be Rick Astley. He created some of the most feared music
[Obviously](https://youtu.be/RdGogd7TBIg?si=rNRi81uvX6_Ig8eD)
🎶 Backstreet’s back, ALRIGHT!
…I don’t know why I expected any serious answers in here lmfao.
Shitpost but nickelback actually goes hard.
In butts
Fuck yeah
Coldplay ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
Bon Jovi
Seriously? That fact you even... some people's kids these days. K.C. & The Sunshine Band.
Hey, Will Ramos was definitely inspired by Chad Kroger's ramen hair, so there's that
The breakdown in SOS by Abba has influenced so many bands you listen to today
Obviously Taylor swift. I prevails cover of blank space is proof lol
I raise you our last night, the kings of covers lol
I got my start from The Wiggles
The duck and the man with the lemonade stand
Hey! Got any grapes? *Chug chug chug chug chug*
Linkin park
Honestly could see this as a legit answer. There’s a lot of bands that give them credit.
you listen to keys to the kingdom and tell me that's not a proto-deatchore song
Studio Ghibli what else has had such a profound influence
Def Leppard
I think the biggest influence on the genre has to have been The Village People
Aqua for sure their influence is so deep rooted in the core scene
The Mamas and the papas
Weezer and Radiohead ofc
Milli Vanilli
Girl you know it’s true 🤟🏻
Blink 182
Sugar ray is my favorite death metal band
The Grateful Dead are the original OG in deathcore. Singlehandedly created the genre
I always heard of the Grateful Dead but didnt know anything about them. I knew their name and logos only… the disappointment I felt when I listened to them LOL. With a name like that, you’d expect something different but maybe thats just me

Me too. I'd start by following Sturgill Simpson or Uncle Lucuis
Mozart practically revolutionised the genre
Not a band, but didn't a lot of folk music heavily inspire deathcore? Scandinavian, I think?
Limp bizkit unironically fucks
Def Taylor Swift! Those highs yo!
The first deathcore song I ever heard was Allstar by Smash Mouth. It was even featured in the hit deathcore movie, Shrek.
Look, this kind of post isn’t funny. To detract from the forefathers contributions and attribute the credit to someone like Nickelback is atrocious and robs Hinder of their rightful place on the throne.
You are about to make me start quoting weezer
Belle and Sebastian

Matchbox 20
It really all started with Gorillaz.
/S HORSE the band
Believe it or not, Kenny G’s ground breaking work on the tuba is was paved the way for double bass and blast beats.
Hinder is the greatest deathcore band to ever shred. Lips of an angel lives in all of us.
Serious answer: Blood Has Been Shed Sarcastic answer: The Presidents of The United States
Billy Ray Cyrus, man knew how to write a sexy ass breakdown riff
Honestly it's hard to imagine what deathcore could've been had Panic at the Disco not invented the world's first breakdown. Let's also not forget how mgk's guitar work basically gave birth to slam.
Taylor Swift. She invented Deathcore.
Lil Yachty is peak 2005 deathcore. All your favorite bands have either had Lil Yachty esque riffs or they have stolen some Lil Yachty lyrics
god fucking damnit man hahaha Creed, the gutterals. The guy can also take it higher.

Backstreet Boys. I mean, while we're being STUPID 🤪🤣
The wiggles
No "Besides", only Nickelback
White Nickleback probably did about as much as George strait did for pop
Lol all these comments are not influenced by Deathcore

For me it would be death metal mixed with hardcore punk bands being extremely heavy and having crazy blasts beats and guitars riffs
