Deathcore is an extreme metal subgenre. It is an amalgamation of metalcore and death metal.

Deathcore is heavily influenced by modern death metal in its speed, heaviness, and approach to chromatic, heavily palm muted riffing and dissonance. Traditional growls and screaming are common. Clean vocals are very rare, but present in certain ocasions of songs. Deathcore is defined by breakdowns and a focus on fast tempos and abrasiveness. Bands also incorporate melodic riffs and guitar solos similar to those in metalcore.
