- Deathcore is a generic term for music that combines Metalcore with Death Metal (usually more of the former than the latter, although there are certainly exceptions to that). It usually combines blastbeat-led riffing akin to Death Metal with breakdowns influenced by both Metalcore and Brutal Death "slams". Deathcore's prominent vocal style is the growling of Death Metal, often juxtaposed with Metalcore-derived screams and high-pitched backing shrieks a la Cannibal Corpse and Deicide. As with Nu-metal, the term "deathcore" is rejected by many bands because it's seen as derogatory.
- Deathcore is an amalgamation of two musical styles: metalcore and death metal. Though a sub-genre of metalcore, deathcore is heavily influenced by modern death metal in its speed, heaviness, and approach to chromatic, heavily palm muted riffing, dissonance and frequent key changes. Lyrics may not always be in the death metal vein, but traditional growls, and pig-like squeals are prevalent, often combined with metalcore vocals. Much of deathcore features breakdowns, a trait which is attributed to the hardcore aspect of its metalcore influence. New York death metal veterans Suffocation, as well as Maryland's Dying Fetus, were among the first death metal groups to make the breakdown a staple in their music.

Deathcore seems to have most prominence within the southwestern United States, especially Arizona and California (most notably the Coachella Valley), which are home to many notable bands and various festivals. In a similar gauge of success, many popular or up and coming deathcore bands are featured on Black Market Activities, the label of The Red Chord's Guy Kozowyk. Before the rise of deathcore, bands such as Abscess and Unseen Terror used the term to describe hardcore punk/death metal hybrids. Germany's Blood also released a 1986 demo entitled Deathcore, while another German group, formed in 1987 and related to Blood, used Deathcore as a band name.

- Deathcore is a generic term for music that combines Metalcore with Death Metal (usually more of the former than the latter, although there are certainly exceptions to that). It usually combines blastbeat-led riffing akin to Death Metal with breakdowns influenced by both Metalcore and Brutal Death "slams". Deathcore's prominent vocal style is the growling of Death Metal, often juxtaposed with Metalcore-derived screams and high-pitched backing shrieks a la Cannibal Corpse and Deicide. The most popular subset of Deathcore employs breakdowns, grooves and Melodic Death Metal-influenced riffs with occasional glimpses of traditional DM. "Pig squeal" vocals, which try to emulate the sound of a pig being slaughtered, are sometimes used (less commonly in recent years thanks to Complaining About Shows You Don't Like). Brutal Deathcore bands eschew melodic stylings and often invoke Slam Death Metal tropes. Some Deathcore bands add in an overt nod to the genre's Hardcore Punk roots by including gang vocals. In the genre's more melodic forms, Symphonic Metal-influenced keys/synth are not uncommon. Because it borrows heavily from its commercially successful grandparent Metalcore, Deathcore is arguably more viable in the mainstream than Death Metal. It could be seen as a Darker and Edgier version of the former and a Lighter and Softer descendant of the latter. Because It's Popular, Now It Sucks and the genre's heavy influence from modern Hardcore Punk supposedly makes it a "bastardization" of Heavy Metal, the genre has become a prominent target for contempt from purists in recent years. As with Nu-metal, the term "deathcore" is rejected by many bands because it's seen as derogatory. Bands typically described as deathcore include:
* All Shall Perish
* Annotations of an Autopsy
* Arsonists Get All the Girls
* As Blood Runs Black
* Born of Osiris
* Bring Me the Horizon (early material)
* Carnifex
* Chelsea Grin
* Cryptopsy (formerly Brutal Death/Tech Death)
* Dance Club Massacre
* Despised Icon (sometimes considered a Trope Maker along with The Red Chord)
* Dr. Acula
* Emmure
* Impending Doom
* The Irish Front
* Iwrestledabearonce (with elements of Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly akin to Mr. Bungle)
* Job for a Cowboy (Trope Codifier; they were only part of this genre on their debut EP Doom, after which they abandoned the genre and moved onto straightforward Death Metal)
* Killwhitneydead
* Knights of the Abyss
* Misericordiam
* Oceano
* The Red Chord (sometimes considered a Trope Maker along with Despised Icon; overlaps with Technical Death Metal and Grindcore)
* The Red Death
* Rose Funeral
* Salt the Wound
* See You Next Tuesday
* Suicide Silence (Trope Codifier)
* Underoath (Ur Example-very early material before lightening up)
* Veil of Maya (also Technical Death Metal)
* Waking the Cadaver
* Whitechapel
* Winds of Plague (Symphonic Deathcore, at least for a while; they seem to have become the biggest example of the "Despised-Icon-Meets-Korn" type of deathcore)
* With Blood Comes Cleansing
