Why even compare this band to Battles? Other than having guitars and drums, I fail to see any similarity.
Mathcore is a rhythmically complex and dissonant style of metalcore. It has its roots in bands such as Converge, Botch, and the Dillinger Escape Plan. The term mathcore is suggested by analogy with math rock. Both math rock and mathcore make use of unusual time signatures. Math rock groups such as Slint, Don Caballero, Shellac, and Drive Like Jehu have some influence on mathcore, though mathcore is more closely related to metalcore. Prominent mathcore groups have been associated with grindcore.
What does the math part refer?
To the time signatures being different apparently. Even though I'm fairly sure that Battles track is regular 4/4, meaning the label is even more ridiculous.
Was vaguely interesting until she started grunting
I hate it when people attach core to a word and suddenly have a new genre of music. On Youtube I've seen Nintendocore, Basscore and Screametalcore all quoted as real genres of music.
Is nintendocore just another name for chiptune?
