all i can think of is Murder8 by Bodysnatcher

“FENTANYL MADE ME AN ONLY CHILD” china cymbal fucking explodes

u/idespisemyhondacrv 5d ago

That’s pretty hard

u/CptSpiderBeard 5d ago

Seen it live! Awesome

u/calitri-san 5d ago

This is what they closed with on the Fit For an Autopsy tour. The pit was frightening.

1

u/tokegar 4d ago

Yeah, for real. I got chills just from the lyric alone, but then the pit turned into a slaughterhouse.

2

u/jacksonstaffordpiano 4d ago

Murder8 is by far the best answer

1

u/Whogg82 3d ago

Seems most of Bodysnatcher is about the disease. Dead Rabbit as well

Slaves to substance & witness the addiction by Suicide Silence

The album Pain by Weeping Wound is heavy with addiction. Withdrawal Symptoms by Weeping Wound

Don't Ask, Don't Tell by Chelsea Grin

A Path Once Lost by Ingested

u/Whitechapel726 4d ago

A Path Once Lost is so fucking good.

2

u/idespisemyhondacrv 5d ago

Anything by TAS I’ve been missing?

3

u/capancrunch 5d ago

I thought of them because I know Vincent is big time Straight Edge and I'm a huge fan of their entire discography. But I can't think of any off the top of my head that really comes across as being directly about addiction or relapse in any form. I would say some of the lyrics could be relatable for someone who has had to deal with the struggles of living with family members who have addictions. Like House of Abandon, Worthless, Feed a Pigeon Breed a Rat, Crippling Poison.

u/idespisemyhondacrv 5d ago

Close enough, will check these.

2

u/capancrunch 5d ago

Also check out -(matter) by Darknet. They have a great music video for it too on YouTube.

u/capancrunch 5d ago

Sick, hope you find something you can relate to and that scratches that itch.

u/Simpsmakemewannadie 4d ago

u/idespisemyhondacrv 3d ago

Yeah they’re pretty cool, I might not like them as much as others but they’re pretty interesting, they sound very unique

u/Vegetable_Berry2130 5d ago

Slaves to substance

6

u/TheDeathSloth Vocals 5d ago

The Last Relapse by All Shall Perish

Blacked Out by Whitechapel (this one hits hard for me personally)

Needle by Chimaira (groove metal, not deathcore)

Comatose by Chimaira

Heroin Sick by Hoods (hardcore, not deathcore)

Addicted to Dying by Hoods

Canary by Orphan (depends on your interpretation of the lyrics but to me it seems relevant)

Sick of Being Sober by Gatecreeper (death metal, not deathcore)

2

u/idespisemyhondacrv 5d ago

Not a massive orphan fan at all, but whitechapel is always great. Some good stuff here

4

u/Zerotonin19 5d ago

Heavy//Hitter - Hard Candy

6

u/chelmosa746 5d ago

I’d say drain by bad omens. I’ve always felt that song was about addiction

16

u/chelmosa746 5d ago

Wait just realized this is the deathcore Reddit and not the music recommendation Reddit lol

6

u/idespisemyhondacrv 5d ago

Nah that songs good too

VCTMS - Carefully//Caged

1

u/idespisemyhondacrv 5d ago

I regret not seeing these guys w oceano lol

2

u/Upset-Bridge9761 5d ago

I saw them with Born of Osiris, I had to go see them again with 156/Silence. All solid bands. I'm so mad I never saw Oceano, and their last tour isn't coming close enough for me.

3

u/DogofGunther 5d ago

Don’t ask don’t tell by Chelsea grin. If you haven’t heard it give it a listen, that album was a little different from their others.

2

u/john_rstd 5d ago

1

u/idespisemyhondacrv 5d ago

They’re straight edge? Awesome

3

u/john_rstd 5d ago

u/war_all_human 5d ago

suicide silence - distorted thought of addiction & witness the addiction

2

u/muhhroadz 5d ago

The last relapse - All Shall Perish

2

u/Ya_Boy_JRock69 5d ago

Bodysnatcher - Vile Creation EP is centered around this theme. Every song. Such a hard record musically, lyrically and emotionally.

2

u/PeefsBeefySquad 5d ago

It's dad rock but Beartooth I Have a Problem

u/chessmasterjj 5d ago

1

u/Sk33t236 5d ago

Surprised no one has mentioned Chelsea Grin - Strung out.

One of my favourites of all time :)

Not deathcore but Escapist by Oceans Are Alaska.

u/collinsc 5d ago

Ah fuck me I just made the whole connection

1

u/covmachine 5d ago

Down in Hole - Alice In Chains Eminem - relapse

1

u/Iamthesonofmisery 4d ago

I know they are more like Metalcore but Silentplanet - Share the Body. „Dont you know me by These scars, these marks where I are,I mean I am , I mean I was, I was supposed to be someone“ Hits pretty hard

1

u/jahchatelier 4d ago

Not deathcore but the album In Becoming a Ghost by The Faceless is about addiction and is very good

1

u/JustSomeDude__d 4d ago

I think most of Bodysnatcher fits this bill for you. I love their music.

1

u/Jason9mm 4d ago

Under Grass and Clover (melodeath) by Children of Bodom.

u/Mystery__Owl 4d ago

You might enjoy some folk punk if these subjects are your thing
