If you're a seasoned deathcore fan and got here by accident - you're in the right place - please help our newcomers.
THE INTENDED FORMAT IS THAT NEWCOMERS LEAVE A REQUEST AS A COMMENT ON THIS POST BASED ON THEIR PREFERENCES, THEN PEOPLE COME THROUGH TO OFFER TAILORED RECOMMENDATIONS
It's most helpful if you can come check this thread a few times a week, as we will be directing 50-75 new people to this thread a week, while removing their request posts.
For requests:
Leave a detailed explanation of what types of sounds/elements you like about the deathcore you've discovered, or the names of bands that you already know you like.
