What is Mathcore?
 

What is mathcore? So many people have come up to me and asked me if I listen to it, and I really don't say anything because I don't know what it is. Is there a difference between grindcore and mathcore? So if any of yall could tell what it is and list some bands that are mathcore, I would greatly appriciate it. Take Care Everybody!

It's like that, but harder - bands like Dillinger Escape Plan and such.

Mathcore is like grindcore, sort of, but it's less . . . disjointed, if you will. According to Dillinger, it's pretty much just fitting together a bunch of weird rythems, and making them keep together. I don't know, that's what they said.

Rahhhhhhhhh 2+2=4 And That Is How You Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhdddddddddddd!!!!!!!!

^rrriiigggghhhhhtttt.......
ya never heard of mathcore either

This is another one of those 'another sub catagory' things.

Its a fraction of some other music,same type just the angle is a few degree's wider,it's a slice of a wider pie(chart),it al adds up the same...etc etc etc

Ok, if it's got anything do with maths, I'm pretty uninterested lol.....

Mathcore is grincore played in a complex fomula..

Other bands that can be put into the genre based on the previous requirments are:

Converge
Between The Buried And Me
Dillinger Escape Plan
sorta Unearth

grindcore and math arent really the same. all mathcore implies is that it is off time and really technical. botch, burnt by the sun, turmoil, the dillinger escape plan, and psyopus are some bands that i would consider mathy. grindcore is kind of a weird genre. there are bands like Daughters and umbrella that are grindcore and then there are bands like pig destroyer and agoraphobic nosebleed that are grindcore. both styles are very different but both very amazing.

i suggest checking out these bands

Well...Mathcore....created by Dillinger escape plan....is when bands use Jazz scales and timing.

Mathcore? That is wierd. But not as wierd as this one genre about penis's. I dunno the name of the genre but it is about phallic objects.

duude, turmoil and tons of other bands were doing mathy off time stuff FAAAR before dillinger.

just like to add that i purchased miss machine the other day. i ****ing love dillinger. any albums further recommended?

"Calculating Infinity" is their only other album (almost positive)... i recommend it.

they did have an EP with Mike Patton, "Irony is a Dead Scene". i'd say check it out only if you're into Patton.

the one with patton is not good


and there is also under the running board, and i think one more..

yeah, its:

miss machine (new one)
panasonic youth (i think this just had one song on it)
irony is a dead scene (with patton)
calculating infinity (great cd)
and under the running board (an amazing release)

well, it depends if you're into Patton's strangeness...

yeah that is true, but dillinger was great, that cd with him was not as good, he left and the new cd is good

thanks for the advice, i shall be purchasing at least one of those albums as soon as finances agree with me

get under the running board.

"Calculating Infinity" is their only other album (almost positive)... i recommend it.



They have "Under the Running Board" which is an EP and they also have their self-titled album....i suggest people go out and get them at once, both fan-****ing-tastic.

They have the EP titled "Under the Running Board" and also thier self titled album, both of which are fan-****ing-tastic and i suggest people go out and get them at once
