metalcore
Punk meets metal
Metalcore is a genre of heavy music that fuses hardcore punk's aggression and song structures with heavy metal's technical riffs and breakdowns.
The style typically features alternating between harsh screaming vocals and melodic clean singing, along with heavily distorted guitars and intense drumming.
Their new album leans more metalcore than pure thrash.
The genre emerged in the 1990s and reached mainstream popularity in the 2000s with bands like Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying.
