Despised Icon are still gonna play shows until 2011, so they're not dead yet. It is a shame, though - They are one of those bands that make really awesome deathcore. If All Shall Perish decide to disband I'm gonna go and shoot a few people, since those are my fav deathcore bands hands down.

Before I got into "actual" Metal I used to love -core. Bands like Bullet For My Valentine, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold and bands like that. I still like -core now but it's mostly Metalcore and Deathcore, not Melodic Metalcore or Mathcore. Bands like Killswitch Engage and (my previous favourite band) Bullet for My Valentine are now among my least favourite of all time.
Another thing that annoys me about -core is the massive overuse of breakdowns. Nothing annoys me more than bands like Emmure and The Acacia Strain, whose only point is to play breakdown after breakdown.
But yeah, bands like Parkway Drive, Burn in Silence, Burning Skies, Bleeding Through and such are awesome

There seem to be quite a few metalcore enthusiasts around here. Hardcore in general seems to be a genre frequently frowned upon by "true" metalheads. Metalcore/Deathcore/Mathcore get a lot of bad press because of that - people label it an immature, trendy musical mutant. I love good whatevercore. If well executed, it's much more powerful and energetic than typical metal, some bands like to play it the catchier and epic way (Killswitch Engage, All That Remains), some keep it br00tal (Despised Icon, All Shall Perish). There are also quite a few experimental bands, who started off as whatevercore and wandered off into experimental territory (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge). Core comes in many shapes and sizes. Feel free to share your favourite bands/albums.
My top 5 (in no particular order) at the moment would be: Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache All Shall Perish - Awaken the Dreamers The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works Parkway Drive - Horizons Despised Icon - The Healing Process |
