Progressive deathcore is a subgenre of deathcore characterized by its fusion of complex time signatures, polyrhythms, and atmospheric soundscapes with the aggressive, downtuned riffs and blast beats typical of traditional deathcore. Emerging in the mid-2010s, this style built upon the technical foundations of djent and progressive metal, incorporating elements of ambient and post-rock to create a more nuanced and dynamic sound. During its peak in the late 2010s, progressive deathcore gained a devoted following among fans of extreme music, who appreciated its cerebral approach to heavy music and the push beyond traditional deathcore's boundaries. With its use of dissonant harmonies, intricate instrumental arrangements, and often, clean vocal passages, progressive deathcore distinguishes itself from its more brutal and straightforward deathcore counterparts, showcasing a more refined and experimental take on the genre.
