Can anybody explain to me what defines metalcore?

 

[MURAI]

heavy metal + hardcore = metalcore

It's bands like Converge and Lamb Of God. I find some hardcore/metalcore bland as hell but some of them I love. Good thing about them is that they're hyper and have a lot of energy in their sound.

 

[Thrashard]

Mine are:

Soulfly
Staind
Papa Roach
System of a Down
Amatory

Papa Roach = HC, ha ha ha that's Pop Music

 

[Thrashard]

1) S.O.D.
2) Agnostic Front
4) D.R.I.
5) Warzone
6) Cause For Alarm
7) Cro-Mags
8) Pro-Pain
