Deformity - Misanthrope



This is one of the records that totally changed the hardcore scene, especially the straight edge one, and the shame is that most people won't even know who Deformity are, and if they do, they may not even know this EP! Criminal.

So, this is deathcore. This is how it SHOULD sound. Yes, it's death metal, thrashy, hardcore related, but it's not deathcore in the sense that folks know it now with all the single handed, chugga chugga nonsense, breakdowns that are thrown in that don't make sense, and generic, boring, over played riffs that Dying Fetus came up with in the practice room and decided to ditch.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a total hater of the style. I haven't jumped on the alternative band wagon that is against it all just because it's labelled so. There are tons of awesome releases that people and their blinkeredness will miss out on, but, hey, that's their loss I guess.

Anyway, this one. Belgian death thrash hardcore stuff. Absolutely mint riff fest, and all the things they did after, which got even more deathly, are very much required listening, but, get your ears around this.
