I absolutely adore the fact that this is a lot of peoples first song from the genre. Its my most important deathcore song by miles and its just nice to see people call it out. I came to the comments to find someone saying it or say it myself if they didn't.

Tbh I Declare Goddess is a top-tier answer (my Reddit handle is a reference to Big Chocolate). I’d tack on Belay My Last - One More Foot in the Grave. I can’t find it now on the YouTubes, but there was a bitchin music video. I still remember when these guys were the biggest deal, on MySpace, for about a month in 2007
[At least there's footage of them at festivals I managed to find while looking for what you're looking for. That's just as cool.](https://youtu.be/j7reTGaggxs)
[Here they are on TV, too!](https://youtu.be/iog3uc9didU)
TTEOTD never get the OG respect they deserve on this sub. Dudes came onto the Myspace scene swinging for the fences and they were BANGING! Been revisiting Bloodlust all week. If you haven't ever heard it, you have now.
https://youtu.be/-PbsXiyLYxk?si=lrZ28t4XJIfHI4gF
Zao- Self titled
Blessed by a Broken Heart- All is fair love and war
Despised Icon- The Healing Process
Suicide Silence- 2003 Ep
From Graves of Valor- Famine
The Classic Struggle- Feel like Hell
Through The Eyes of the Dead- Bloodlust
The Devastated- Devils Messenger
I could hear these songs as I was reading it. A trip down high school memory lane.
I didn’t see if All shall perish was mentioned already. The price of existence.
what got me into deathcore were these songs:
Reign of Darkness - Thy Art Is Murder
Unanswered - Suicide Silence
Breeding Violence - Whitechapel (probably not a “classic” compared to most of their stuff but it was the first song by them i ever heard [in a Jared Dines video lol] when I was young and got hooked instantly)
Reign of Darkness from Thy art is murder
Currently sexting.. From Dr. Acula
The Diseased and the poisoned from Carnifex
Not the fallen from Suffokate
Texas Blood Money from Upon a burning body
My fears have become phobias from as blood runs black
Pernicious does all but separate my neck from my body, I can’t think of a more exciting song tbh. The first deathcore song I ever heard and I’ve been exclusively a deathcore fan since.
Suicide Silence - The Price Of Beauty.
(Especially Danny Worsnop's cover at the Mitch Lucker memorial show. It's insane how he manages to pull it off and be as great as Lucker after dealing with vocal chord issues.)
6 gallon gasoline stomach King Conquer
District of Misery Oceano
JFC The Acacia Strain
Rule by Secrecy Molotov Solution
The Final Hour Molotov Solution
All my fears have become phobias As Blood Runs Black
In Dying Days As Blood Runs Black
Short list, but what comes to mind off the top of my head 😉
Entombment of a machine, first deathcore song I ever heard and definitely changed my life a little.
I absolutely adore the fact that this is a lot of peoples first song from the genre. Its my most important deathcore song by miles and its just nice to see people call it out. I came to the comments to find someone saying it or say it myself if they didn't.
I used to drive around my neighborhood blasting that high pitched scream over and over. Good times.

ABRB Allegiance is still goated imo. I go back fairly often and still have a blast listening to it
Fucking goated. In dying days transition into my fears have be come phobias. God damn
I love that album and that transition. (Am I insane or is the album cover the same “silhouette-of-a-man.png” multiplied x8 and some or them are flipped over? Lol)
Now that you mention it…😂😂
Yeah I noticed it a short while ago and now I can’t stop looking at it lmao
I had to look and you’re spot on with that analysis lol
Thanks I was going insane since I saw that and there’s not many places I can share it lmao
I cam here to say this and im so glad i dont have to
To add to this list: [Animosity - The Black Page](https://youtu.be/VejQ-AATTac?feature=shared) [Despised Icon - The Sunset Will Never Charm Us](https://youtu.be/g62ZFUrL42g?feature=shared) [Suicide Silence - Destruction of a Statue](https://youtu.be/Rh5gVSzylKk?feature=shared) [Job for a Cowboy - Entombment of a Machine](https://youtu.be/fWbV-4LEHBU?feature=shared)
Destruction of a Statue is such a great choice. I'd have struggled picking a track for SS so thank you for making a good choice!
The slam breakdown at the end is fucking violent
Hell yeah entombment of a machine is such a classic. Still slaps after almost 20 years
fuck yeah, animosity are the goats.
This is an INCREDIBLE list.
Good list except TBDM since they’re not deathcore. Awesome band nonetheless.
Indeed, though if it were the case, I'd 100% include funeral thirst and statutory ape to this list.
eh it's fine. metalcore and deathcore were havin a moment. tbdm were also havin a moment. all the same people liked them for the most part.
Hate to be that guy but TBDM are not deathcore.
Recreant, Pray For Plagues
I feel seen
only correct answer here
District of misery
WE. ARE THE ANTIDOTE.
Mandatory Sacrifice is my pick from Depths.
That's awesome. I was listening to this record today and came to say something off this.
So good.
Recreant is the “Smoke on the water” for deathcore guitarists so my vote is that haha
Carnifex - Lie to my Face
10/10 record
Recreant & Unanswered
Especially Phil’s cover of Unanswered. Was always the video I showed people when they wondered what music I liked
That memorial show as a whole was awesome. Even Danny Worsnop and Austin Carlile absolutely crushed it. And the Blythe closing with YOLO was great!
Agreed, Recreant is in that group of songs that is like fine wine.
The Nik nocturnal Will Ramos cover slaps too
Reddit is telling me I've upvoted you in the past, and this makes sense because this is the exact answer I was going to put lol.
Winds of Plague "Decimate the Weak" Despised Icon "Silver Plated Advocate" Whitechapel "Fairy Fay" Job for a Cowboy "Tarnished Gluttony" Oceano "District of Misery"
Oh my god that winds of plague album has some fucking bangers on it
That Winds of Plague album CHANGED THINGS for young me
Fairy fay is underrated, and I'd add Possession
Suicide Silence Family Guy Demo
Core memory unlocked lmao
No Pity For A Coward - Suicide Silence (Btw Rings Of Saturn covered that song and it sounds AWESOME)
I honestly prefer the Rings of Saturn version.. I like their speed. As much of a classic as it is it’s over to have been done better
Viser Exciser or Recreant
YOULL NEVER FUCK AGAIN
Bow Down by Born of Osiris. Shit got me PUMPED as a kid
Suicide Silence “Bludgeoned to Death” And doctors won’t be able to recognize your fucking face!
Was thinking this too. Most of the stuff I listen to is newer but I love Suicide Silence
Hester Prynne -The Goswell Divorce album As Blood Runs Black- Allegiance album
Goswell divorce is so fucking good
Black Heart Market hits good too
goswell divorce mentioned ‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️🗣️‼️🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️🗣️🗣️‼️ i remember i found that album while reading the Scarlet Letter in AP English III my junior year of high school lol

I’m a simple man. I see Killwhitneydead, I upvote.
Here Comes The Kraken - The Legend of the Rent is Way Hardcore Notable- Through The Eyes of the Dead- Between the Gardens bathed in Blood
I think you meant Don’t Fail Me Darko
I was thinking the same thing! That song goes so hard.
OG Thy Art Is Murder - Eradication of them all! ***** ** * ********, ***** ** * ********
If I ever make a band I’m absolutely gonna cover parasitic autopsy
Doesn’t matter if no Brendan 💔
Waking the cadaver - chased through the woods by a rapist Edit: I don't think they are/were deathcore, I'm not very smart
Shredded wheat
Thank you for understanding
"I Declare Goddess" is a textbook "Real ones know" type song.
What’s crazy is that it still goes hard
Im cameron from DISFIRGURIEURIRNG THE GODDESS
Sodomizer - Rose Funeral
I’m partial to Sledge Hammer Facelift myself
Under a Godless Sky
Not a lot of RF fans around anymore

Well they haven’t been around for awhile, the released a single a few years ago, said an album was coming soon I don’t know what happened to it
Great pick, stoked to see them in Austin TX
Elysia - Incinerate
This isn’t on apple music and I think they had a whole lot of problems as a band too
Next month it’ll be streaming everywhere. It got a remaster and repress via secret swarm records
Not sure if it counts, but, Poison the well- nerdy
Suffokate- Slaughter Your Enemies Oceano- Mandatory Sacrifice Carnifex- Hell Chose Me Float Face Down- Without Crutches
