Why Is Death Metal and Hardcore Rising Again? Tombstoner Explains!
Музыка
Episode 173 of Heavy Metal Philosophy! I've been saying the past few years that we're living in a death metal renaissance! Well, don't take my word for it. I talked to one of the bands in the vanguard of this movement, Tombstoner. I had a few beverages with the band while they gave me first-hand accounts of today's scene. It may have gone off the rails several times, but it was fun when it did. You'll see.

1:15 don't forget about Dying Fetus. They have a HUGE following not only in the death metal but also in the hardcore and deathcore scene because everyone loves the groove, the vocals and breakdowns

Df playing a lot of hc festivals fair play
One of my favourite bands, Spinebreaker, is from my hometown and are comprised of members from Gulch, Sunami, and Ripped to Shreds. They've gotten more into a death metal direction but their 2016 album was a mix between hardcore and death metal, and their guitar tone has that classic, filthy Swedish buzzsaw sound. Last year, I went to their show and the whole pit was a mix between moshing and hardcore dancing. That shit was beautiful.

death metal renaissance started around 2008 then really kicked in around 2010 with an entire young generation flocking to once very underground bands like Autopsy, Sadistic Intent as well as newfound interest in the bigger known classic bands, it seems the streak hasn't broken since then (I've been into death metal since the early 90s)
Tombstoner is one of my favorite new DM bands now.

I think its the same reason as black metal. People are looking for something more aggressive and extreme. Like with the economic and political situation, its a great way to cope with it

Im 45, been a Metalhead since high school, Metalhead for life! Its no phase, its a lifestyle. All that being said, I never really was hugely into Death Metal until fairly recently. It really does seem to have been resurging, even taking the Metal throne. Metalcore and other forms of Metal just seem to have dropped a bit lately, quality wise, and left it open for Death Metal to take the lead. The heaviest, most interesting bands around right now are pretty much all Death Metal, and im LOVING IT!

4:25 If it was up to me the lineups would be totally mixed. Thrash metal, deathcore, power metal, black metal, grindcore .. shows would be so much more exciting. It gets boring when you listen to 4 black metal bands back to back. I love myself some variety

I guess it is rising because great deathmetal and great Hardcore is hard to beat. Deathmetal/hardcore combined has always been awesome 😁

I'm 44 and got into Hardcore in the early 90s. I'll be honest, most of the 90s Death Metal is pretty boring to me outside of Death. If it wasn't for the pummeling breakdowns in bands like Dying Fetus, Frozen Soul, and 200 Stab Wounds, I'd probably still think Death Metal is boring. Hardcore is more exciting to watch. Death Metal is usually a little more polished. Combine both of those and it's pure heaven to me.

If you like the breakdowns parts of death metal, why not get into the brutal death/slam scene when slam riffs are similar to breakdowns anyways lol Look up a band called Hacked Up. They're dope
