Metalcore: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Metalcore began life as a blending between thrash metal and hardcore punk, and was used to describe bands such as [[Dirty Rotten Imbeciles|D.R.I.]], S.O.D., and Suicidal Tendencies in the 1980's, however the term changed its meaning in the 1990's to "metallic hardcore", and the genre metalcore originally defined became known as "crossover thrash". This newer "wave" of metalcore included bands such as Integrity, Earth Crisis and Converge. By the end of the nineties, metalcore had evolved into "melodic metalcore", which slowly grew in popularity until the mid-2000s, when it was a big mainstream draw. In fact, today, metalcore is the most commercially popular form of metal.

When combined with [[Death Metal]], metalcore transforms into [[Deathcore]]. Melodic metalcore is usually fused with [[Melodic Death Metal]] influences and [[~~Sopranoand~~ Gravel]] vocal dynamics.

* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: Usually about an 8 or 9. Occasionally dip down to a 7 ([[All That Remains]] does this sometimes) or very rarely go up to a 10 ([[Chimaira]] being an example of a band that does this). Converge and a couple of other groups sometimes go [[Up to Eleven]], but this is pretty uncommon.

* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: Most metalcore brings in alot of influences throughout the extreme metal scene, mainly [[Melodic Death Metal]], [[Death Metal]], [[Black Metal]], and [[Thrash Metal]]. Some bands bring in influences from [[Pop Punk]], [[Electronic Music]], [[Groove Metal]], and [[Alternative Metal]].

* [[Scary Musician Harmless Music]]: Commonly inverted. They usually dress like an average person or androgynously, but the music is still fairly heavy metal.

* [[The Scrappy]]: some metalheads seem to think so, but it still has a large fanbase

* [[~~Sopranoand~~ Gravel]]: Most bands have this. This unfortunately causes people to assume any metal band that uses this dynamic is metalcore. Melodic Death Metal (and even regular death metal in some cases) are the usual victims of this.
