As with other styles blending metal and hardcore, such as crust punk and grindcore, **metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, slow, intense passages conducive to moshing**. Other defining instrumental qualities include heavy riffs and stop-start rhythm guitar playing, occasional blast beats, and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically use thrash or scream vocals. Some **later metalcore bands combine this with clean singing, often during the chorus**. Death growls and gang vocals are common. 1990s metalcore bands were inspired by hardcore while later metalcore bands were inspired by melodic death metal bands like At the Gates and In Flames. > … > In the mid-2000s, metalcore became one of the most popular heavy metal subgenres with the success of bands like Bleeding Through, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Atreyu, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, Trivium, Bullet for My Valentine, and All That Remains. Metalcore's popularity continued in the 2010s with the success of bands like Asking Alexandria, August Burns Red, and the Devil Wears Prada. > [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalcore?ref=bramadams.dev) ## Top Artists ### Sleep Token Criminally underrated, [Alkaline](https://open.spotify.com/track/2bhO18WXe8NbFpc7sAQcEw?si=6d9c494c52234bc8&ref=bramadams.dev) is a total banger and has a great music video to boot. [This Place Will Become Your Tomb](https://open.spotify.com/album/53PfSATgN0YM7IsfI2CDv?si=3kDxJqzuTSuzfZuxQwumZA&ref=bramadams.dev) delivers subversions of metalcore along with an emotional longing that left me stunned. ### Whitechapel [Anticure](https://open.spotify.com/track/4N8jp4BFUXzhnIgh4xyBgX?si=1aff2cbab4c542c1&ref=bramadams.dev), [Hickory Creek](https://open.spotify.com/track/3Ye6hOjAzeXq3Kc38mUCGS?si=5a7ba3fbb33b45a9&ref=bramadams.dev), [A Bloodsoaked Symphony](https://open.spotify.com/track/1AwjnKYHRhFWXYdQITorUi?si=d611619e2e5b4f5c&ref=bramadams.dev) (all three also have amazing music videos) ### Porter Robinson [Nurture](https://open.spotify.com/album/4Hjqdhj5rh816i1dfcUEaM?si=wNsCTUKRT7OZb1EnFJ-FPw&ref=bramadams.dev) is a game changer.

There is a [ballad version](https://open.spotify.com/track/7ydiBXSeyMcdDdvXM89VLE?si=a0b710a0e2a6423f&ref=bramadams.dev) that somehow sounds entirely distinct from the original. ### Childish Gambino [Because the Internet](https://open.spotify.com/album/62yjWIhnATHxPqGbgC9Lqr?si=nttF45XMSmK57ZoVVqwdSA&ref=bramadams.dev) is still one of the GOAT albums, imo.
