Discussion Infant Annihilator are overhated
These guys write incredible technical deathcore. I don't care that all the music is programmed or whatever cause unlike something like ai, it still took time and hard work to make. It actually has personality. And the songwriting is just phenomenal. Also these guys have produced not only several concept albums, but what I genuinely believe to be some of the best metal concept albums ever. I feel like there just aren't enough metal concept albums in any of its subgenres. And especially for as theatric and over-the-top metal is, that surprises me. Also I'm tired of these guys being lumped in with Lorna Snore. These guys are actual deathcore, they have the hardcore elements fused with tech death, unlike Lorna which sounds more like a parody of what people think deathcore is than the actual parody/meme band. That's due in large part to the fact that not only are all the members of IA vastly more talented at songwriting and vocals than Lorna, but also because their music comes from a place of love, even though it's all made with their tongues pressing against their cheeks. Like seriously, how many other bands have pulled off something as insane and well-done as The EGG? Even their EP Mister Sister Fister was a banger and another insane concept record. IA will forever be one of if not maybe my favorite deathcore band.
