    I like deathcore alot, I love it even, and I love TRC just as much, because that's what they are - genuine deathcore, eventhough most people don't agree with that, but they pretty much started this shieeet

    "Corekids don't seem to like TRC too much either - too fucking intense for them." I've noticed this and I don't get this at all, I find that most people who like TRC are generally people that don't like deathcore much at all.

    Fucking fuck this band is exactly what I want from metal. There's no pin pointing this band to a specific genre, so just enjoy what they've brought into this world and shut your goddamn bitch face up

    I'd say these guys are tech death + noise + grind + hardcore punk influences. Definitely on a whole another level compared to what's come to be known as deathcore these days. I believe one of them even said in an interview that Suicide Silence sucks. Corekids don't seem to like TRC too much either - too fucking intense for them.

    They're like deathcore's roots extended far past the genre's natural course of evolution, if you will. [2] Word.

    Sixteen Bit Fingerprint still holds true. Too many sick fucks playing violent video games.

    TRC aren't really deathcore... or they are, but in the purest sense of "death metal + metalcore" rather than the Suicide Silence-ish sound that the genre's now associated with. They're like deathcore's roots extended far past the genre's natural course of evolution, if you will.
