The world of deathcore is notoriously dogmatic. Escaping from its sonic boundaries and attempting to appeal to a broader fanbase can be hazardous for any band in the scene. Take Suicide Silence, who decided to radically change their sound on 2017’s self-titled album and promptly found an online petition trying to stop the record from getting released.
Only a trio of bands – Bring Me The Horizon, Lorna Shore and Whitechapel – spring to mind when counting genuine deathcore crossover success stories. Although with Grizzly, Slaughter To Prevail might be able to complete the Mount Rushmore of great deathcore escapologists.
