Deathcore

Deathcore is an amalgamation of two musical styles: Metalcore and death metal. While similar to slam death and deathgrind, deathcore typically has muted drumwork as well as a variation on its speed and heaviness. Deathcore receives its speed, with minimal complexity, from death metal, and its breakdowns are attributed to a metalcore influence, though death metal bands have often used breakdowns in the past, as can be heard on Morta Skuld's Prolong the Agony demo (1991). An important characteristic of deathcore bands, which is attributed to metalcore's hardcore punk roots, is their raw, political, and socially focused lyrics.

Other bands, such as Abscess, have used the term "deathcore" to describe their hardcore punk/death metal hybrids, though these groups have little in common with the more "mainstream" deathcore bands.
