Metalcore Artists

Also known as: Metallic Hardcore. A combination of Hardcore Punk and Metal that began to take shape during the mid 1990s. What differentiates Metalcore from other combinations of Metal and Hardcore Punk, such as Crossover Thrash, is the emphasis on breakdowns and greater use of dissonance.

This term is used to describe the style of the 'first wave' of Metalcore bands which shared their Hardcore Punk and Metal influences fairly equally, and also includes the sub-genres Mathcore and Deathcore.
Melodic Metalcore Artists

A style of Metal that appeared in the early 2000s, exploring a more Metal-oriented fusion of Hardcore Punk and Metal than 1990s Metalcore offers, taking its largest influence from Melodic Death Metal and to a lesser extent Thrash Metal and Groove Metal.

Where Metalcore evolved out of Hardcore Punk with added Metal elements such as double bass drumming and thrash-like guitar and vocals, Melodic Metalcore stems from Metal bands adopting Hardcore Punk elements. Most notably in the rhythm section, breakdowns and sometimes two-steps are added to Metal-oriented drumming, and Melodic Metalcore vocals are often reminiscent of Hardcore Punk. Melodic Metalcore bands generally follow standard song structures and have choruses in their songs in which clean vocals are used.
