Best Deathcore Bands

They are the top deathcore.. Listen to their music..
I swear you will like 'em..
Whitechapel, suicide silence, lamb of god..
They are the greatest band of my world..

Their entire catalogue is great. They've consistently been at the top of the Deathcore genre since they released their first LP. I can't wait to hear their next album set to release after hearing the first single!

They're the best Deathcore band to walk the earth. Suicide Silence are great too, but I feel like their fan base just skyrocketed after Mitch died and it was all a bunch of scene girls who thought he looked hot, felt sorry for him because he had a wife and a 5 yr old girl and didn't give a damn about the music he made. They just liked Mitch for his looks ad not his prowess as a deathcore vocalist. No disrespect intended for SS whatsoever, and I'm in fact looking forward to their new album with Eddie Hermida (on Nuclear Bast! ), but Whitechapel are just a far better band. Phil has an amazingly powerful and brutal voice and knows how to pump up a crowd at a show, and whitechapel's fans aren't a bunch of chicks that think Phil looks hot. They're the undisputed best deathcore band. - MetalFoREVer1228

Whitechapel is amazing! Very technical and amazing I don't know who put some of these bands on this list all shall perish should be higher carnifex also one of my favorites I prefer the black dahlia murder and all the bands I listed over suicide silence! My personal opinion! This world is ours and we won't stand still
Infinitude sets thy vision toward the deep
Civilization will fall by the hand of all disease
Banished of all life and awoken from the grave! Whitechapel this is exile!

Bulle For My Valentine isn't even Deathcore! Suicide Silence is the greatest of all this bands, the sound great, they lyrics are excelent.

DEATHCORE PEOPLE! WE ARE TALKING DEATHCORE, WHICH ELIMINATES AND BAND WHO HAS ANY SINGING!
Suicide silence is amazing, Mitch is the best screamer out there

If we're talking deathcore then suicide silence all the way. But half of these aren't deathcore.

I recommend anybody listen to "the cleansing" album. it's awesome!

Way better than a bunch of deathcore I've heard

Carnifex is without a doubt the best band on this list and they haven't released a bad song yet, no sell out crap just pure passion and anger poured into every meaningful song. If you are new to deathcore then check this band out and you'll be hooked. If you listen to their older material it's more edging toward death metal than core but not quite there.

Carnifex are an awesome band. Just listen to Lie to My Face, In Coalesce With Filth and Faith (this song has some brutal breakdowns) or Until I Feel Nothing. Scott Lewis is an awesome vocalist and Shawn Cameron is an awesome drummer. As previously stated, Carnifex are an awesome band. - MetalFoREVer1228

How is Carnifex so low down, its below Bullet For My Valentine for gods sake (they are nothing like deathcore)

Epic band!

This is the band that go me into Deathcore back in 2008 with their Infinite Death E.P. I didn't really understand it but what I kept was absolutely amazing to me. They made me feel like smashing stuff up and still, even today, I maintain to have that feeling every time I hear these guys. Top 3 at least.

These are actually amazing, "Hate" is such a brutal album. They deserve so much more recognition. Look up Reign of Darkness on YouTube, and you'll see what I mean.

Found them with "Shadow of eternal sin" and "Holy War" and goth both albums "Holy War" and "Hate" I got speechless with their sound, IS AWESOME.

The fact that Suicide Silence is ahead of these guys is just ridiculous. Eddie is 10x the vocalist Mitch ever was and if you don't believe me, go listen to Eradication, Wage Slaves, Black Gold Reign, and When Life Meant More

All Shall Perish is absolutely amazing! Every album is a piece of art! Screw the guy that said their last album isn't good. It is great!

Incredible guitar work with meaningful lyrics.

ASP is the best dither band of all time. Awaken the Dreamers is an album that never leaves my phone. I'm so stoked they're back together.

Only band on this list who doesn't take itself seriously.

Best band everererere

Almost overwhelmingly brutal. Great vocals, inhuman drumming, awesome sweeps and monstrously, skull-crushingly heavy breakdowns. Seriously, listen to just one of their songs and you'll be ready to smash a chair over somebodies face.

Amazing vocals and best drummer ever.

Listened to a few of Suicide Silence's songs. Uh, yeah not much talent there. If you want to hear badass Middle Eastern classical prog death core (thank you other person for classifying this band), listen to these beautiful songs: Abstract Art, The Takeover, Now Arise, Live Like I'm Real, Faces of Death, Two Worlds of Design/A Solution, Shaping the Masterpiece, and Regenerate.

How is this band only on 18? This band is much better than Suicide Silence. Born of Osiris have awesome Guitarists and the Keyboardist is awesome too. They deserve to be on Number 1!

The Discovery is the best deathcore album ever recorded. it has proven that deathcore can be taken very seriously.

Although Suicide Silence are great to listen to, these are definitely more talented musicians. It stands out as it is like a progressive deathcore band

Best Band ever

The most Unique deathcore band, so unique I think they deserve their own genre

Sorry 23 guy, they got bumped down to 36... But I do agree that they are amazing and should be higher up on the list, and I sadly can't say top 10 because honestly I haven't listened to. I am not one who really cares much for vocals, I just like how the instrumentation of a song sounds, but these guys oddly enough caused me to actually get into caring for the lyrics, and vocals as a whole, which is kind of odd because now I can understand these kind of vocals better than clean vocals sometimes... kinda weird...

HOW ARE THESE GUYS ONLY 23!?!?!?! They are amazing, Ian Bearer is WAY better than Mitch Lutcher, who's band is number 1. Lucas Mann can play circles around any other guitarist here, and Aaron is a good drummer as well. When they aren't screwing with Guitar Pro they make awesome music, and no band has the sound they have.

At first I thought they weren't even close to deathcore, but they are, and they're really good too.

So dopeand technical as hell

Intelligent and well thought out lyrics, vocals so brutal they make Phil Bozeman look like Miley Cyrus, insane guitars and bass and inhumanly fast drumming combine to create The Red Chord. Suicide Silence and Chelsea Grin can suck it. These guys are better than them in every aspect

They are the inventors of deathcore along with Despised Icon and Glass Casket. How are they so low?!

This band slays pretty much everything before it on the list really sad too see them at 67, them despised icon all shall perish should be top three.

Incredibly brutal and punishingly technical with awesome lyrics and vocals to top it off. This band is awesome

HOW IS THIS BAND AT NUMBER 175 AHH! This is the greatest addition to music in the past 20 years and the best progressive deathcore band I've listened to in a long time.

The best band on this list but not deathcore

Justin Lowe's guitarwork was the best part. And I'm not just saying that because he died - he honestly was an amazing guitarist. R.I.P. - ThatStrangeKid42

Actaully is dejtn metalcore band
Grat guys... Deathcore? No.

Easily one of the best bands I have ever listened too the vocals are second only too those of Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence but the guitar is by far the best guitar I have ever heard and tge song Punisher is easily my favorite song.

Best band indeed but they had slipped from deathcore like Suicide Silence to metalcore with deathcore like vocals such as Oceans Ate Alaska. Good band though!

Veil are amazing musicians but I feel are a little too technical to be thrown into the "deathcore" genre...

Ok I'm a suicide silence fan and I thought these were they were the best death-core band but after listening to these they just blew me away and I was like WOAH ain't nobody got time for that! XDD

Believe what you will, Suicide Silence isn't the best of 'em.

I prefer Heaven Shall Burn's live performances over other deathcore bands'. Marcus' vocals are much more chaotic, and the guitars don't frequent around open strings because the riffs make them heavy.

Iconoclast and Antigone are awesome Albums. They have the lyrics, the sound and the voice to make them one of the greatest bands out there.
I LOVE Endzeit, anyone reading this should listen to it.

SO good! - EliHbk

Underrated band is underrated.

IS this even a question? Deathcore is a mix between death metal and hardcore. This band is the only one on this damn list that is more death metal then hardcore. And seriously? Bring me the horizon? Bullet for my valentine?

Only band on the list yet that does a death metal and hardcore mix. But they have still left out the band that was the first known to mix these two... Dying fetus.

Totally awesome! My favorite deathcore band so far!

These guys aren't deathcore. They are death metal. - ryanrimmel

Oh come on!... JARED DINES!

It’s Jared. It’s really good, nothing special, but solid work

Best weirdest German Pop Deathcore band ever, their new stuff is going to be amazing.

Didn't think I would like them.. But they are pretty awesome

Just underrated! The vocals are just sick

This band is really amazing!

To be honest there not deathcore. There metalcore. But there an anazing band. Winston's vocals kill it. I love them. There albums are amazing. There the right amount of heaviness. Not to soft and not heavy. Still think these guys should have at least bean 11 or 12. Even though not deathcore

Just listen and enjoy! Amazing guys!

They are not deathcore but listen to "The Blue and the Grey". Winston's vocals are so widely varied. My favourite metalcore band though.

If these guys are deathcore... Then they own this

Weak deathcore...These guys got me into deathcore with their first album and I am forever grateful to them for that! I never wanted to believe all the bad things that people said about this band because count your blessings was my favourite album like ever but now after listening to heaps of different deathcore and death metal bands I can truely admit that these guys are no where near as talented as most other bands in the scenes and they probably only did get famous because little girls love oli and the whole emo depressed darkness whatever scene that was so popular from the 2000s. In saying all of that I still really do like count your blessings as an album but there are other better albums out there for sure. I recommend as blood runs black, thy art, the black dahlia murder or Chelsea grin but there are tons of other great bands.

Count Your Blessings = Deathcore

Suicide Season = Metalcore (but partly deathcore)

There Is a Hell was a good album Sempiternal was amazing and That's the Spirit, SUCKS. They're Deathcore for let's say 2 albums. After that the music changed, I've loved the first 4 albums but the latest one, "That's The Spirit" seems more like pop rock, their are some good lyrics in the songs on the album but they changed cause of Oli's ability to scream. Essentially, he can't anymore. That's why the music changed. Sucks! But that's the way things go sometimes. Still have much love for the bands old material, the new stuff is not for me though.

This band at one point was alright. When Oliver screams especially for Diamonds aren't forever, that song is just a mess his screams are awful, they aren't even close to being deathcore, well not anymore... That was only Count your blessings. The only album that was pretty good was There is a hell but overall I don't know how they even got to be in this list

Count Your Blessings is their only fully deathcore album, and it was pretty darn good. Suicide Season is mainly metalcore but certain songs off that album could be considered partly deathcore, to an extent. You can hear the deathcore influence in songs like "Football Season Is Over" and "Sleep With One Eye Open". "Chelsea Smile" is a good one, but that's metalcore.

Why is the faceless on here. This band is Tech Death, not Deathcore.

The only deathcore band I can stand alongside aversions crown.

The faceless is better than more than half of these bands! Just listen to Leica and the ghost of a stranger! Akeldama was a masterpiece
