Suffocation

New York has always had its own style of death metal and with quite a lot of range, too.

Deathcore really began to flourish in the early to mid 2000s with bands like Antagony, All Shall Perish and Despised Icon, but there's a band that predates them all that should be credited as the true founders of deathcore.

Loudwire singles out 11 big death metal bands and names the best album by each.

Lineup announcements resumed this week, bringing us to nine artists in total who are booked for Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival 2025.

Some of metal's biggest albums were released in 1991 while the underground exploded with new styles.
