Metalcore
Metalcore
is a broad fusion genre of
extreme metal
and
hardcore punk
. The name is a
blend
of the names of the two genres. Metalcore is distinguished by its emphasis on
breakdowns
, which are slow, intense passages that are conducive to
moshing
. Pioneering metalcore bands—such as
Earth Crisis
and
Integrity
, both of which had formed before 1990—are described as leaning more toward hardcore, with their style sometimes being called
metallic hardcore
, whereas later bands—such as
Killswitch Engage
,
All That Remains
,
As I Lay Dying
,
Bullet for My Valentine
,
Parkway Drive
and
Underoath
—are described as leaning more towards metal.
