This is absolutely the first true deathcore song and that's a fact! Everything before was just metalcore or New York DM

Old school death core!

It’s 2022 and I just discovered Antagony after watching the dawn of deathcore video. Whether they know it or not, all deathcore bands were birthed from Antagony. Absolutely brutal and crushing metal, I fucking love it!!!!!!

Antagony proves that deathcore never had a single origin, but several independent ones. Despised Icon were inspired by brutal death metal and slam - they can also be credited with how pig squeals came to be associated with deathcore The Red Chord were inspired by prog death, deathgrind, Antagony were inspired by melodic death metal + crust punk Glass Casket were more tech deathy and post punk'y - and probably also the first that brought black metall-ish aesthetics to the genre So basically at the time, each of these bands tried to do something new, mixing death metal with hardcore punk stuff in their own, independent ways. Even the breakdowns each one of these bands play are different. But then bands that followed were usually inspired by either one or multiple of these bands at the same time, for example the European deathcore style is very heavy on the MDM aspect, but also enjoys slam pig squeals and gutturals, while modern American deathcore is much cleaner and more death metal-oriented, co-opting only hardcore-styled vocals and occasional breakdowns and building from there.
