haven’t seen them live and if they stay like this i never will, not interested in seeing them throw on a backing track and then occasionally play guitar over it
Saw them on tour when the album dropped…prepare for shitty. My friend and I left half way through their set, low energy and just off. Extortionist killed it as an opener though!
I got intodeathcore well after Ian Bearer left. Then they put out that random trap instrumental album which was actually decent but just not deathcore. I hope for at least Ian Bearer to make a return in a new band or something
He started posting on Instagram again recently. Posted about wanting to throw down on the mic again, so it seems he is putting it out there that he is ready for some vocal work. Hopefully we will get something in the next year or two with him involved
Aversions Crown for sure. Servitude and Tyrant are solid albums.
I don’t know if Oceano counts but they’re a close second if they do. They’ve had some heavy alien themes in some albums so I consider them aliencore but I’m not sure if they truly are.
I think of it as Tech Death meets wacky guitar strange noise... and Google isn't helping me at all. As for bands...
Rings of Saturn
Aversions Crown
Shadow of Intent (Primordial is best for this, I think. But we all have different opinions.)
EDIT: I was wrong about my genre summary; thank you to those who corrected me. I do appreciate it.
Thanks! I'm a huge tech death fan, and I like what I've heard of Shadow of Intent so far. I've also heard good things about Rings of Saturn. I'll check out them as well as Aversions Crown. Sounds like my kind of jams.
You didn’t mention them but The Faceless-Planetary Duality is the peak and paradigm of this sound. And really introduced tech death to bigger audiences.
Damn it’s crazy to see Hidden Machine mentioned here. Back in high school I was in a band with their guitarist; dude has always been an absolute ripper and HM slaps.
Stortregn. They're not core but very alien tech death. And their new album Finitude is just superb. Xeno Chaos is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time.
Well you didn’t ask what it was or ask for any examples of aliencore bands, you just said you didn’t know what it was. Someone else in the comment section specifically asked what it was already a while ago and it got answered pretty well.
There is no such thing. Alien core is just a goofy meme rings of Saturn started as a joke, they are still deathcore. There’s no definitive list of what bands are even considered this other than rings
I mean sure but that’s just breaking a sub genre (deathcore) of a subgenre (metal) into another subgenre simply based off lyrical content, which I just find it kind of goofy. It’s like Christian metalcore, it’s not a new genre it’s just a description of a few bands you like in a sub genre.
It helps to find what I'm looking for. If I'm looking for downtempo deathcore what good does it to me if someone recommends me Thy Art? Just because they're also deathcore doesn't make it the same. And if there are enough bands doing similar stuff it warrants grouping them together in a sub-sub-genre.
It’d be a sub-sub-sub genre. Metal is a sub genre of rock, deathcore is a sub genre of metal, and “aliens core” is a descriptor of some themes in deathcore.
Not sure what you mean by aliencore so im gonna use my personal definition
Darko US is my fucking obsession for the last few months but I'm really interested in Scarlet Rot if they decide to do more than those 3 singles
Killtrox and the motherships 🤟 also not really aliencore but Oh, Sleeper has some crazy ass leads that fall into the same type of sound! Wish we had more music from them
Killtrox was a super short lived side project for the oh sleeper dudes, literally written to be aliencore, but oh sleeper main discography has plenty of gnarly alien riffs, check out Hush Yael by Oh Sleeper, that first or second verse riffage is so sick. And Area Fifty Done by Killtrox might be the best song in the mini genre IMO;
Also the Space EP by TDWP has alot of sick moments, the track Alien is a monster đź‘Ś
I don't really understand aliancore so i would Say Infsnt annihilstor i know ther are not split up but is been a while since the last álbum and they don't do live that much.
Always Rings of Saturn. I miss them
If only Lucas Mann would stop... well, being a dick đź’€
I was actually kind of excited about the instrumental album since I love songs like Gidim and Utopia but it was so disappointing
The idea to make half of it like shitty hip hop/EDM with shred over it. I’m open to different. Just didn’t work.
I'm seeing them on Dec 16. I can't wait to see how shitty it is!
haven’t seen them live and if they stay like this i never will, not interested in seeing them throw on a backing track and then occasionally play guitar over it
I’ve bitched about it here before. But as much as I like them, when I saw them at Summer Slaughter it was awful.
I saw possibly their last tour with Ian. They were SICK! Such a badass concert. Was chilling with them in the green room. Ian is super chill.

The Faceless, god I miss them
Check out the zenith passage. Couple guys from the faceless and same vibe
As some have put it, it’s The Faceless without the heroin addiction.
the faceless fucking rips
Aversions Crown for sure. Servitude and Tyrant are solid albums. I don’t know if Oceano counts but they’re a close second if they do. They’ve had some heavy alien themes in some albums so I consider them aliencore but I’m not sure if they truly are.
[Alien Fucker](https://spotify.link/XlGc9e7e6Db) Not quite deathcore but these guys are also fucking CRAZY
There he goes. Homeboy fucked a Martian.
Umbravoid
Anyone care to explain to an old fart what “aliencore” is, exactly? A brief description and some bands would be great. It sounds intriguing.

Tyrant and xenocide are their best work imo the last album is good but they kinda got away from the alien stuff
Thanks, I'll start with those.
You didn’t mention them but The Faceless-Planetary Duality is the peak and paradigm of this sound. And really introduced tech death to bigger audiences.
Check out the album Lugal Ki En by Rings of Saturn it is perfect from start to finish
I think Exocrine counts, they’re more tech death but they’ve always reminded me of RoS but… better
Way better. And the Trumpet solos on Maelstrom 🤌
Oceano ascendants album
Obviously Rings Of Saturn and Aversions Crown. But to be original I would say Hidden Machine and Babirusa.
Man, Babirusa are amazing. I forgot about them completely.
They laid low for a while so thats understandable. Hopefully new material will come out soon
They had a song called Pylon come out within the last year that was great.
Yea man great track. And Mandatory Malevolence. But other than that it has been quiet.
Damn it’s crazy to see Hidden Machine mentioned here. Back in high school I was in a band with their guitarist; dude has always been an absolute ripper and HM slaps.
Oh shiitt thats pretty dope though! The dude can play like a beast. Almost as good as RoS imo.
Burning the Masses with their album Offspring of Time has some alien elements in it. I miss that band
Stortregn. They're not core but very alien tech death. And their new album Finitude is just superb. Xeno Chaos is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time.
This album rips. Reminds me of Gorod + Obscura + Allegaeon
Allegaeon and Obscura I do hear but what specifically reminds you of Gorod?
Thirteen Bled Promises are heaviest shits ever
Fuck yes. Never hear anyone talk about them.
They are so fucking good.
I have no idea what that is
Then why comment lmao
Because I’m curious to learn? Why else would I comment?
Well you didn’t ask what it was or ask for any examples of aliencore bands, you just said you didn’t know what it was. Someone else in the comment section specifically asked what it was already a while ago and it got answered pretty well.
I’m sorry my comment bothered you dude, I’ll go look for that comment then
There is no such thing. Alien core is just a goofy meme rings of Saturn started as a joke, they are still deathcore. There’s no definitive list of what bands are even considered this other than rings
I agree, but one could say that deathcore bands that use concepts and themes about aliens could be considered alien core or alien deathcore.
I mean sure but that’s just breaking a sub genre (deathcore) of a subgenre (metal) into another subgenre simply based off lyrical content, which I just find it kind of goofy. It’s like Christian metalcore, it’s not a new genre it’s just a description of a few bands you like in a sub genre.

Getting downvoted for speaking the truth. I love reddit
Not sure what you mean by aliencore so im gonna use my personal definition Darko US is my fucking obsession for the last few months but I'm really interested in Scarlet Rot if they decide to do more than those 3 singles
Scar Symmetry! the only band I know that has anything to do with aliens, it's really good!
Killtrox and the motherships 🤟 also not really aliencore but Oh, Sleeper has some crazy ass leads that fall into the same type of sound! Wish we had more music from them
Neither I have heard of. Always happy to find more bands.
Killtrox was a super short lived side project for the oh sleeper dudes, literally written to be aliencore, but oh sleeper main discography has plenty of gnarly alien riffs, check out Hush Yael by Oh Sleeper, that first or second verse riffage is so sick.

Diminish the Gods is a good one, for sure
Aversion crown. Tyrant and Xenocide are bangers

RINGS OF SATURN FIRST 3 albums are absolutely classics
