* Music/BlackPegasus

* '''Brutal deathcore''': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: deathcore with a far less melodic and more brutal approach, usually with faster and more overtly brutal death-influenced riffing and slower, "chuggier" breakdowns, as well as a more guttural vocal approach. Famous acts include early Music/SuicideSilence, early Music/WhitechapelBand, Music/{{Oceano}}, early Impending Doom, I Declare War, Crown Magnetar, and early Music/SlaughterToPrevail.

* Music/{{Whitechapel|Band}} (started moving towards GrooveMetal and NuMetal with the self-titled, though still deathcore as a whole)

* MetalScream: Is known for a variant of Type 2 that is colloquially referred to as "tunnel throat"; while the origins are unclear, it is likely that [[Music/{{Whitechapel}} Phil Bozeman]] and [[Music/{{Oceano}} Adam Warren]] popularized this approach. The "pig squeal" or "bree" is another Type 2 genre hallmark that was originally taken from slam and brutal death (primarily Devourment and Cryptopsy)[[note]][[Music/SuicideSilence Chris Garza]] personally cited Exhumed and Impaled as the most likely originators of the pig squeal, or, at the very least, the main reason why most of the early West Coast bands picked them up[[/note]] and was introduced by Steve Marois and Marie-Helene Landry of Despised Icon before being popularized by All Shall Perish and Job for a Cowboy. Type 3s are also exceedingly common and are usually screechier and more shrill than they would normally be in death metal; [[Music/TheBlackDahliaMurder Trevor Strnad]] is the most likely influence, while [[Music/JobForACowboy Jonny Davy]], [[Music/AllShallPerish Eddie Hermida]], and [[Music/SuicideSilence Mitch Lucker]] are all roughly equally responsible for popularizing it. Another variant of the Type 3 emerged in the 2010s as a throaty squawk; this was influenced almost exclusively by the vocals of [[Music/CattleDecapitation Travis Ryan]], with famous proponents of the style including [[Music/InfantAnnihilator Dickie Allen]], [[Music/SignsOfTheSwarm Dave Simonich]], [[Music/LornaShore Will Ramos]], and [[Music/MentalCruelty Lucca Schmerler]]. Type 1s are somewhat more rare, but they do still show up reasonably often; famous vocalists who primarily use them include [[Music/TheRedChord Guy Kozowyk]], [[Music/DespisedIcon Alex Erian]], [[Music/ThyArtIsMurder CJ McMahon]], [[Music/FitForAnAutopsy Joe Badolato]], Anthony Notarmaso (After the Burial), and [[Music/TheLastTenSecondsOflife John Robert Centorrino]].

* Website/MySpace: It is not really a stretch to say that this was the platform that made the genre explode. Acts like Music/JobForACowboy, Music/SuicideSilence, Music/{{Whitechapel}}, Music/{{Carnifex}}, Oceano, As Blood Runs Black, and Born of Osiris all owed their almost overnight rises to fame to that site, while acts that took off just slightly before its rise to dominance (namely Music/AllShallPerish, Music/DespisedIcon, and Suffokate) all jumped on board and took advantage of the format. "[=MySpace=] deathcore" has also become something of a colloquialism to refer to the style of deathcore that most of those bands played, which was usually characterized by melodic death metal-influenced riffing styles, heavy usage of gang vocals, melodic and often relatively unstructured leadwork that made heavy use of sweep picking, breakdowns that were usually faster and more overtly hardcore-influenced (oftentimes also featuring extremely fast double bass rolls), the regular usage of the "pig squeal/bree" from vocalists, and chaotic technical passages that heavily featured tapping. Most of these traits were commonplace in the music of All Shall Perish and As Blood Runs Black, who are generally agreed to be the figureheads of the style.
