  • I discuss the evolution of the best breakdowns in metal, metalcore, deathcore, etc, including:
    * The origins, with bands like Bad Brains and Agnostic Front
    * How thrash metal bands like Slayer's "Raining Blood" and Pantera's "Domination," and then groove metal bands like Sepultura and Machine Head added to it
    * The next evolution with NWOAHM bands like Killswitch Engage, God Forbid and Chimaira
    * How metalcore bands like Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack, Norma Jean and Eighteen Visions evolved breakdowns
    * Trends like breakdown callouts, bass drop breakdowns, and crabcore
    * The rise of djent via Meshuggah's "Bleed," who influenced bands like Veil Of Maya and Born Of Osiris

      That's whatcha get for doing corny trendy shit. 😆 "Metal-core" bands that came out after 2003 suck. It started to get all of these emo and 80s hairband asctetical elements. Now it's became what 80s hairbands were....A corny trendy subgenre that went on waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long. I knew that shit was gay when my sister who had never listened to metal a day in her life asked me if I knew "bring me the horizon". 😆. Death core too. I play and I know dudes in both death and metal core bands and everything they do just sounds like rewritin b.s because theyr trying to fit in that box so bad. Imagine if new hair metal bands were still coming out in 2005... Not the satire/parody like steel panther either. Like dead serious tryna use that old formula/template for success 25yrs later. That's basically what anyone claiming that genre now is doing. 😆. I love telling other musicians "I just play Rock man" and then when we meet up to play,Im running a V through a duel rectifier. Tuned down 2or3 full steps doing sweeps and lighting fast alternant picks. It's all just rocknroll dude. Things only have to go in a box if you like creative ability. I allso like saying "ah,I just play music". Throws them unoriginal ones off. They be like "Right but what box are we trying to fit into?". 😆.

    As Blood Runs Black - In Dying Days
    Thy Art Is Murder - Reign Of Darkness
    Not sure, but I think Demolisher by STP will soon be on the list as well.
    Honorable mention: Agent Fresco - Destrier and the middle part in Sacrifice Unto Sebeek by Nile (If you can call that a breakdown).

      Solid choice for breakdowns. For me id add the heretic prevails from shadow of intent just because I love how Ben does 6 different vocals styles during the breakdown. I really like the breakdown in deadweight from wage war just because I'm a sucker for the blegh breakdowns.

      @@iletthedevilin828 So true, I recommend them to my metal loving friends all the time (with varying success, god knows why) , they sound really unique imo. Brutal, melodic, catchy yet technical, symphonic... What's not to love about them?

    As a mostly metal head, I enjoy how many times you throw shade at the playing skills of anyone involved in the core scene while clearly loving it.

    VOM’s breakdown after the first chorus in Outsider is intense, maybe not a breakdown in its purest form but it definitely hits hard

    Slayer deserves a place in the “early 2000 era” for Disciple on God hates us all introducing a second generation of metal heads into breakdowns!

    Hey man! So informative content, I love it! But what about fast speech like rap double-time but with growl. Like Defilier - Walk in the glow.

    The Oncoming Storm by Unearth was just bursting with killer breakdowns.
