☠︎ Rahim Masters☠️ What an amazing compilation! powerful 🔥 Favorite track: Fear (100 BPM).

CanadianCoreDude After discovering the rabbit hole of low tempo hardcore techno music, getting this album was a no brainer! I love how this particular album includes techno tracks and other more experimental tracks alongside the doomcore tracks! The Darkcreator's take on Emerald Planet is definitely my personal favourite track here though, the pounding distorted kickdrum is simply divine! Favorite track: Emerald Planet (Future Dust Rmx) (100 BPM).

about

What the heck is Slowcore?

When Techno and Hardcore gained traction in the 90s, there was the tendency for the sound to get more heavy and dirty on the one side, and more frantic and speedy on the other side; tracks at 160 BPM, 180 BPM, soon at over 200+ BPM came popping out; until eventually genres such as Terror and Speedcore arose and you had tracks clocking at 800 bpm in 1998. And, after the millenium, genres such as Splittercore and Extratone became popular that took the speed to even more insane levels.

But after a while, an evolution towards the opposite direction took place, too; starting in genres such as Industrial Hardcore and Doomcore, some artists began to produce slower and slower tracks; this soon gave birth to the phenomenon known as "Slowcore". Tracks below 100 BPM, or 80 BPM, or 60 BPM, or even at 1 bpm (and slower?). Slowcore even has its own sub styles by now, such as Funeral Doomcore for very slow tracks, or Hadal Doomcore for even much, much slower tracks (think 1-16 BPM).

When exactly a track does enter the "Slowcore" realm is open to dispute. For this compilation we used the definiton: 125 BPM or slower (with one exception!).

So we called out for producers to turn in their Slowcore tracks for this compilation, and the response was awesome. We have something from all realms of slower Hardcore here, 120 BPM tracks, 60 BPM, 4 BPM... Industrial inspired sounds, Doomed sounds, slow Dancefloor stompers, Dark Ambient influences, Death Metal, odd experiments... everything you can wish for.

And, while listening to the tracks, we almost got the impression that there was a historic error in the development of Hardcore Techno: these slow tracks sound so natural and kicking, the slow drums underline the dark moods and atmospheres so perfect, maybe Hardcore had always been ment to be produced at half the speed, or even much less!

So... get a glimpse of the Slowcore movement, and check this compilation - if you dare!

about

Doomcore Records Hamburg, Germany

Doomcore Records was started in December 2012 by artist and author Sönke Moehl aka Low Entropy in Hamburg, Germany. The idea behind the label was to have an outlet for sounds in the style of Doomcore, Darkcore, and more somber and twisted Techno. Later, the sub-labels Slowcore Records - for very low tempo Hardcore and Techno - and Omnicore Records - for all styles of music - were created. ... more
