I gave that one a shot last week. I didn't care for the vocals, but the instrumentation was really cool. That ends up being my vibe with a lot of deathcore, but the good stuff really lands.introclaus wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 11:01 amTo the Grave - Director's Cut
Realizing last year that I actually enjoy deathcore (with both Fit for an Autopsy and Lorna Shore entering my top list), I've been diving a bit deeper into the genre.
Thanks to Mardoch's recommendation, I've been enjoying A Wake in Providence. Also got into Shadow of Intent.
Still not hooked on some of the genre-biggies like Chelsea Grin (although I can see the appeal and I might give their new one a few spins when it hit the streets in a week), Suicide Silence (I actually own one of their albums, but can't remember last time I sat down to listen to it) or Whitechapel.
To the Grave is interesting in that it has the aggression of Chelsea Grin, but also in places goes symphonic and melodic similar to how Lorna Shore does it. It's not a perfect album, but I'm really digging it, and the breakdowns are just sick!

Also happy to hear you liked the A Wake in Providence, too! There's a lot of great moments on that album, but the dual vocal sections really land for me. Their guitarist has such a great voice.
