    I talk about deathcore bands that should have been bigger: Suffokate, As Blood Runs Black, Oceano, and Defiler
    - Why As Blood Runs Black were one of the best to do the "deathcore 1.0" melodeath-with-breakdowns thing on their album "Allegiance"
    - Why Oceano were ahead of the curve with "Depths"
    - How Defiler rode the wave of "Cryomancer"
    - Why Suffokate's "Return To Despair" and "Oakland" are MySpace deathcore classics, and what Ricky Hoover is doing now

    As Blood Runs Black is by far one of the most underrated, underhyped Deathcore bands of all time. Their album Allegiance is an absolute masterpiece with the perfect balance of melodic shreds and heavy chugging, it's what deathcore SHOULD sound like. A total banger that stands for itself, one of those albums you keep going back to and it never gets stale. Easily one my favorite bands despite a less than extensive discography.

    Whenever I hear the words Myspace Deathcore my brain immediately shoots to Elysia. I remember hearing them in high school and being blown away by a deathcore band actually having real hardcore parts where they drop the death- part almost completely. Their second album is also what every metalcore band now wants to be. So ahead of their time, and they were only like 16

      I don't know about their first album, but their second album was basically the same sound as American Me to the point my friend was like "Hey, you like American Me, check this band out."
      So, in that regard, I wouldn't say it was ahead of its time, seeing as bands were already doing it before them, and bands like Greeley Estates, and The Crimson Armada, also did it not long after.

    Adam Warren has been in Oceano since 2007 so the front man argument is inaccurate, but what you said about the lineup change is correct. A lot of the songs on Oceano's Depths album were very distinct. Maybe it's a difference of opinion but when I listened to their first album, almost every song sounded unique to me. If you had made the argument about boring songs for Contagion or Incisions albums that is fair to say and I would agree but Depths, Ascendants, and Revelation were full of memorably unique songs. Give Depths and their two most recent albums another shot, man. You might end up liking at least one of them. Your channel is awesome, man. Keep doing you.

      Jorden Alex Abplanalp yes you are correct, music is subjective. I am telling you why I, and other hardcore fans, find it difficult to get into melodic death metal despite appreciating the technical intricacies of the music
      I personally listen to music mostly for emotional expression, and suggesting all hardcore has chugs (or even breakdowns) is dumby

      And that's fine. Subjectively, I don't see melodic death metal as "repetitive" at all. Every song is something completely different (other than the fact that it's going to clearly be melodic) and has never failed to give me that Nordic badass feeling at the gym.

    A couple bands in my opinion that deserved more recognition:
    Dance Club Massacre (honestly kind of a party-not-serious-deathcore band with Black metal elements, but to this day I still maintain they had one of the best vocalists in the game)
    Hacksaw to the Throat
    Knights of the Abyss (I feel like they never reached their potential. They had immense talent with some brilliant songs, but fell victim to deathcore cliches on other songs, so their best work got buried)
    Knives Exchanging Hands (Way ahead of the curve, did a lot of the melodic/post-rock/proggy inspired stuff in 07-09 before you'd see it all of the place in 2010 and beyond)
    See You Next Tuesday (Grindcore inspired deathcore band, fucking amazing. Short body of work but they went out on a high note.)

    Return to Despair was such an underrated album. I listened to that thing so much and got so hyped for the future of Suffokate, and then as you point out that was kind of it.

      Just saw them in Cleveland this summer. I've seen them probably 8 of their shows and I can honestly say they get better each time

    Ahhhh, Oceana. Now that's what I call Deathcore. Zoomers just don't understand.

    It was funny thinking cuz As Blood Runs Black got their start roughly as I was starting high school, and I had heard My Fears Have Become Phobias from a Rock Band drum custom chart of all places cuz I was really into rock band and guitar hero and was immediately hooked. I went to ask a couple of my other friends at school about them cuz I used hang with the metalhead/hardcore kids and no one knew who they were. I was just shocked honestly. How could these guys who seemed way more inclined in the genre than me have never heard how good this band was?! Safe to say me and alot of my friends really got accustomed to that band regardless of the line up changes. Which even I'll agree was a lil disappointing to see at the time. Just wanted to recall this story cuz I found it funny thinking about it while watching. I love these vids Finn. Keep up the good work! ❤
