Metalcore Style Overview
Metalcore Music Description
Metalcore is a metal sub-genre that combines elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk. As with other styles blending metal and hardcore, such as crust punk and grindcore, metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, slow, intense passages conducive to moshing. Other defining instrumental qualities include heavy riffs and stop-start rhythm guitar playing, occasional blast beats, and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically yell or scream. Some later metalcore bands combine this with clean singing, often during the chorus. Death growls and gang vocals are common. The first wave of metalcore bands in the 1990s were inspired by hardcore while later metalcore bands were inspired by melodic death metal bands, like At the Gates and In Flames.
Metalcore (of metallic hardcore) is een fusionmuziekgenre dat elementen van extreme metal en hardcore punk combineert.
