{{Main|Deathcore}}  
Deathcore is a subgenre that merges the intensity of death metal with the aggressive elements of metalcore. It is characterized by fast drumming, including [[blast beats]], down-tuned guitars, [[tremolo picking]], [[death growl|growled vocals]], high-pitched shrieks, and the [[Break (music)#Metal and punk|breakdowns]] typical of metalcore. ''[[Decibel (magazine)|Decibel]]'' magazine noted that "one of [[Suffocation (band)|Suffocation]]'s trademarks, breakdowns, has spawned an entire metal subgenre: deathcore."<ref>{{cite journal|last=Lee|first=Cosmo|title=Suffocation reclaim their rightful place as kings of death metal|issue=59|quote=One of Suffocation's trademarks, breakdowns, has spawned an entire metal subgenre: deathcore|journal=[[Decibel (magazine)|Decibel]]|date=September 2009}}</ref> [[Dying Fetus]] was also influencing deathcore through their extensive use of slam riffs, breakdowns, and hardcore-inspired grooves. Their 1996 album ''Purification Through Violence'' and 1998's ''Killing on Adrenaline'' introduced a mix of brutal death metal and hardcore elements that would later be adopted by deathcore bands.<ref>{{cite web|title=How Dying Fetus Influenced Deathcore|url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-influence-of-dying-fetus-on-modern-extreme-metal|website=Louder Sound|access-date=February 24, 2025}}</ref> Early pioneers of deathcore include [[the Red Chord]], [[Suicide Silence]], [[Despised Icon]], [[Ion Dissonance]], [[Salt the Wound]], [[Whitechapel (band)|Whitechapel]], [[Job For A Cowboy]], [[Carnifex (band)|Carnifex]], and [[the Acacia Strain]]. These bands combined the technicality of death metal with the breakdown-driven structures of metalcore, creating a distinct and influential sound.<ref>{{cite web|title=The History of Deathcore: How The Red Chord, Despised Icon, and Whitechapel Defined a Genre|url=https://metalinjection.net/lists/the-history-of-deathcore|website=Metal Injection|access-date=February 24, 2025}}</ref>
