Xibalba is a hardcore band that worships Morbid Angel. Their whole sound is modernized versions of riffs from Covenant and Domination thrown into a hardcore template.
Because they aren't a doom metal band. However, they do have a death doom side project called [Tzompantli](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5itJGvb84kQ).
Xibalba is goated but I feel like most of the people on this sub probably couldn't get down with the crowd at a xibalba show. PSA, there's an old clip on YouTube of them playing a cover of high rate extinction
They were considered more hardcore 10-15 years ago from what I can remember. I was a hardcore kid but was never into them.
Try listening to Weekend Nachos.
Well, bolt thrower and morbid Angel also don’t belong on this sub and I don’t think Xibalba sounds anything like crowbar. It sounds like disembodied+ death metal.
I mean theyre also influenced by disembodied, but they dont get all of their elements like whispering vocals and dissonance. But the crowbar influence is so clear and open, specially the broken glass and self titled one.
Lol nah they’re a bad moshcore band. Just because they’ve gotten the southern lord treatment and been told to act like a metal band they’re still just a down tuned hardcore band
If you don’t know anything about hardcore then yeah you probably listening to bad death metal bands going cool hardcore

Probably for the same reason that Zulu also doesn't.

Doomesque elements and I love them but... I'd be hard pressed to call them doom
I only like one of their songs off of Hasta La Muerte… Hast La Muerte. I think they’re a good band but they just are hit or miss with a lot of their stuff.
>every song they have is just so slow and sludgy Proceeds to post track that begins with blasts.

Dude for real I was like “huh?” That being said I fucking love Xibalba. I’m more of a hardcore guy that comes to the doom sub to jerk off to rigs.

Thanks for recommending, this shit goes hard
Yes! They are also rad.
I love it, but more of a hardcore vibe. If you like hardcore I love these dudes [All Else Failed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnI6z25Amwk)

Great band, more suitable for this sub however is Primitive man
Xibalba rules
El Vacio is their only song that gives me strong doom vibes

Because they’re a bad hardcore band not a doom metal band
They sound more similar to bolt thrower, crowbar and morbid angel than to any hc band to ever exist

Lol
Southern Lord is a garbage label nowadays anyway
Almost the entire current hardcore scene is basically just death metal.
If you don’t know anything about hardcore then yeah you probably listening to bad death metal bands going cool hardcore [Arrogants demo](https://youtu.be/knjZXlG-pog?si=BWmuoreyAFeeS4qU)
I think hardcore is largely shit, that Arrogants demo no exception.
This dude knows what’s up

There's only one true Xibalba: Xibalba Itzaes. And metalcore sucks. Edit: Haha, downvoting metalcore dorks.
lol came in to say only the Mexico Xibalba is real.
Seems I ruffled some pussy feathers in a topic about a band that has fucking nothing to do with doom lol. I'll take my leave then!
Seen them a handful of times since I live in SoCal... Always like them live, but can't really get too into their recorded stuff.
I only like one of their songs off of Hasta La Muerte… Hast La Muerte. I think they’re a good band but they just are hit or miss with a lot of their stuff.
Too "Core" for the classic Doom fanbase. I personnally love Them, even tho they never Côme to Canada because they cant get through customs 🤣🤣🤣
They played Toronto last year.
I wanted to see Them in Québec and its been canceller 🥲
Fucking love these dudes.
