Post Reply - The "core" thread

BTBAM isn't really metalcore though.
The last 3 albums are definitely much more in the deathcore vein, which is practically the same as death metal, just more noisy, dissonance and more of a tendency to have breakdowns.
Really the only metalcore moment BTBAM have is that guest vocalist on Prequel to the Sequel doing the screams.
Time signature changes, old school death metal inspired riffs, tech death band inspired riffs, death growls.......definitely technical progressive deathcore, not metalcore
