It was created by Hardcore Bands that experimented a fusion between Beatdown Hardcore, Groove Metal, Heavy Metal and Death Metal. Bands like Earth Crisis, Merauder, Shai Hulud, Strife, Hatebreed and Integrity are early examples.
      Then during the 2000s Bands like A7X, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Bullet for My Valentine and Parkway Drive pioneered MELODIC Metalcore, that took the Metalcore sound and fused it with the guitar melodies found in Melodic Death Metal, and adding a bit of post-hardcore to the formula

    @headless0ptomist198 6 месяцев назад

    All of them are the same, aside from lead guitarist and vocalists you literally can't tell one metalcore band from another. Just like most of the "core" genres they all use the same song structure/themes/lyrics, the same cords just in a different order and thr same breakdowns. Metalcore is not bad but it's one of the most boring metal genres behind deathcore in my opinion, deathcore is just metalcore with 7 to 9 string guitars and vocalists that are trying to sound like the offspring of an grizzly bear and a crocodile that has it's nuts in a bear trap.

      Not poison, suffocating under words of sorrow pretty similar

    Pumped-up dudes are kind of a staple in metalcore. I see that's still the case. For some reason, the genre just stimulates insane muscle gainz.

      You can actually go back farther. It's just Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones with distortion and palm muted.
