Metalcore

Metalcore is a musical genre consisting of a mix between heavy metal and hardcore. Although the genre has risen in popularity after the turn of the millennium, it is not as many would believe a recent genre, as bands such as Integrity have been around since the late 1980s.

Defining the metalcore sound is not an easy task as bands have often fused hardcore-influenced sound and attitude with almost any imaginable type of metal. In fact, the earliest signs of this genre before a name could be put to it was called 'crossover'. The band that declared the crossover was DRI on their late 1980's album of the same name. Other bands like Nuclear Assault are the bleeding edge pioneers themselves.
