Hardcore Emo

Hardcore Emo took the emo sound of bands like Indian Summer, Embassy, Current, Still Life, etc. and made it faster and much more chaotic. Some later bands that followed include Antioch Arrow, Mohinder, Portraits of Past, Swing Kids, Honeywell, Angel Hair, Assfactor 4, Palatka and John Henry West.

By the mid-90s, the scene had largely died out, but French Canadian bands like Union of Uranus and One Eyed God Prophecy kept the style alive to some extent. Today the style is rarely played in its purest form, but it was the primary influence on late 90s/early 00s bands which started the "screamo revival" such as Orchid, Jerome's Dream and Usurp Synapse. The influence is very alive today in many modern bands, mostly European, such as Louis Cyphre and theflyingworker. A heavily influenced style is still played by a few bands like This Ride Home, whose first release, a split 7" with They Found My Naked Corpse Facedown In The Snow is due out soon, a split release between Limbless Records and Glycemic Records.

Some would consider this term a bit of a misnomer as the term emo itself was originally a shortened form of "emotional hardcore" - so "hardcore emo(tional hardcore)" is redundant.
