Evolution of Metalcore (1989-2023) 

Because these bands do not represent the evolution of metalcore and the bands that put the genre on the map,imagine someone trying to learn about metalcore and they go oh everyone was listening to xRepentancex in 2013!, like nah nobody was listening to that shit this whole list is a troll

@@exoticwaves1580this list isn’t based on popularity though

@@exoticwaves1580dude you weren’t there people were def listening to repentance

@@cigarettecat3981 maybe in your little circle jerk, i get what the dude that made the video says but like sempiternal dropped in 2013… i think that says enough, my main problem with this list is there is zero evolution

​@@exoticwaves1580troll people like you, this list represents at beginning the fusion of metal and hardcore, doesn't mean to you?, well metalcore is even a thing at 80s like crossover thrash bands like crumbsuckers D.R.I and Carnivore, one of their interviews at Mike score (All out war vocalist) he claims they're metalcore bands, this genre fuses many things about metal and hardcore punk, Of course because people like to be ignorant listening trash music like mainstream metal that like generates money at their records and pseudo reputation people like you

Sad reality the real one kinda keeps underground as Most of the Hardcore scene

HC = MC ?

@@malditazos Bro, never heard 7 angels 7 plagues, on broken wings, converge, skycamefalling?

​@@Higor_da_costa_coelhowell, the melodic Metalcore stills heavy, until the came of scenekids

@@josejesushernandezbustillo9139 The New Wave Of Metalcore/metallic hardcore came along with a bunch of new bangers, try to checkout some boundaries, Seeyouspacecowboy and chamber

Earth Crisis is gay

its ridiculous

Seriously! I remember when Firestorm came out. It was like a bomb went off in the scene. I immediately started writing metal influenced HC riffs. Then they joined the Ozzfest tour, and to my recollection that was the the time that was the first I had seen the two scenes really interact.

Was too young for earth crisis’ original run, went back and listened to all of the classics when I went down the rabbit hole of the scene and they’re fucking legends

Fr. Their riffs were catchy as hell.

No one has or will ever acknowledge NWOAHM as a thing 😂😂😂😂 Its literally metalcore. Cope

@@YaBoyJRock42069 well, it is during the NWOAHM the actual term Metalcore is used. NWOAHM is just for media classification.

Hardcore Punk with Metal influences = Metallic Hardcore ( Nu school of Hardcore ) , Hardcore Metal or Metal Hardcore. Finally, for short Metalcore

the therm metalcore is way older than "metallic hardcore" (basically a therm that became more popular after melodic metalcore started getting more sucesseful). Merauder, All Out War, Shai Hulud and H800 bands already used to call themselves metalcore in the 90s

To be fair. I’ve been listening to metal since 1997. In 2008 until present day 2024 , I’ve been telling people metal core is my favorite subgenre. I’ve only ever heard one band in this compilation. Had to go to Wikipedia to see if I was wrong to classify as I lay dying, killswitch and all the other bands that play in dropped tuning with open E string 5-7-8 riffs as metalcore.

convarge was in mathcore video

90s Metalcore = Metallic hardcore

Beneath The Encasing Of Ashes is just Zao worship. Unless you mean Frail Words Collapse, but that's their second album

@@xangrycatmanx5104 you say "just" as if it still wasn't fire.

​@@jeleopardof course its fire. Beneath The Encasing of Ashes is amazing. But you can't deny that it isn't very derivative of Zao

right beacasue this band pionniered sound of metalcore with death metal influence!

100%

02 for sure i remember when they toured opening for Strung Out lol a SoCal punk staple, it was dope.

@@hereticdeth7986 CLEANS TOO!!!!!!!

@@DRUNKWOLFSOFFICIALnah prayer for cleansing did that before them

🤓

Catherine.. bought that album after getting rejected by a woman named Catherine. Good band that i remember 09.

they’re also both metalcore

Master killer is THE essential metal core album honestly.

​​@@rogerdodger9192you made me listen to that masterpiece again, thank you 🙏🏻😁

merauder isn’t a metalcore band

@@cigarettecat3981 Merauder IS a Metalcore band. At least the albums I've heard are Metalcore

@@cigarettecat3981 Yes, Merauder is an essential metalcore band.

Thing is that many nowadays confuse post hardcore with Metalcore, the thing is that Metalcore is wide as it's me fussion of hardcore punk (including post-hardcore in the melodic variants) with Metal like grove and melodic death metal, and there are some melodic band very influenced by the new post hardcore as post-hardcore band who play both post-hardcore and Metalcore, that's where the line gets blurry

Something else, real Metalcore has always been part of the Hardcore community but with space in the metal community because of it's hybrid nature, so far all the songs Presented are part of the Metalcore genres, Rise and Fall is from the crust punk scene (and one of my favourite bands)

Architects and BMFV have nothing in common tbf. 1. KsE and BMFV = Melodic Metalcore 2. Architects = Progressive Metalcore

​@@RibeiroGames12bfmv is more like melodic Metal for emo Kids, goth Kids and nu metal kids. This band dosent sounds like hardcore

@@hereticdeth7986 true even tho the singing and screaming sound reminiscent of metalcore and post hardcore scenes. The instrumentation almost doesn't contain metalcore chugging riffs or panic chords

​@@RibeiroGames12 I think that's the main influence from Metalcore that a lot of these melodic Metalcore bands have. I see it like a gradient. Some bands will lean towards the Metal side, than others. But still have incorporations of Hardcore even if it's as small as just the Vocals. Metallic Hardcore is a type of Post-Hardcore (PROVE ME WRONG) and Post-Hardcore sounds NOTHING like Hardcore. Melodic Metalcore is a type of "Post-Metalcore" which doesn't have to sound like original Metalcore. That's the way I see it at least

@@lil8iTcH i don't think that metalcore is a type of post-hardcore, because the therm is most of the time associated with hardcore kids going experimental without taking metallic influence. And the main influences for the creation of metalcore were definitely the crossover thrash scene, bands from NYC like Madball, Biohazard, Cro-mags playing a more groovy and thrashy style of crossover. And most of the time those bands werent taking influences from PHC at all (fugazi, drive like jehu, etc) but taking from other styles of metal like thrash, groove metal and death metal

yes but is more like melodic death

@@paul7452 only zao is trad metalcore

Such a great band, I miss 'em

only saw em once but it was a great pit

This bands are melodic metalcore

They count as well, but this list highlights more unknown and underground bands

convarge was upload in mathcore video

Escuchate Earth Crisis - Firestorm Strife - Blistered Hatebreed - Confide In No One Madball - Born Strong Born From Pain - Rise Or Die Terror - I'm Only Stronger Earth Crisis - Counterstrike Solo algunas canciones para que tripees con el verdadero Metalcore

Then why are they metalized?

Actually Metalcore is short of Metallic Hardcore Punk so it's in fact Hrdcore Punk with a heavier sound, in it's evolution it added more hardcore genres mixed with more metal genres mainly grove, thrash and death metal so it's a big pull of different Hardcor-punk/Metal fusions where the 1st born Metalcore is the known as crossover thrash, I myself am mor fan of the clasical Metalcore Like Hatebreed, Earth Crisis, Madball, Sworn Enemy, Merauder. The bands you mentioned are from the melodic brach that fusioned post-HC and melodic dm in short teĺling

Oh and more correctly Metalcore are children of Hardcore Punk and Metal, and Hardcore Punk a direct descendant of Punk 🤷🏻‍♂️, postHC would be like sibling of Metalcore and the 2nd post-HC would be father of some melodic Metalcore bands

@@DragoonKiller777 thank you for your that! I always thought I was the only one who kind of thought that way

@@xj4maroon5dude you're welcome 😁

The term to describe it is "hardcore adjacent". Not pretty much hardcore punk (for me who more into hardcore punk) because it's sounds very metal but share the same stage with hardcore scene especially in tne USA.

Metallic hardcore is metalcore

Or Darkest Hour, Bleeding Through, Evergreen Terrace, Zao.

Dead to fall is melodic metalcore band

@@Michellejohnedward and eighteen visions

theres no earth crisis either

@@tysonwastaken2:00

There was a new wave of american heavy metal music in 90s (pantera, machine head, fear factory, etc). Evolution of those bands in 94-95 (from mid to fast tempo guitar play with chuggy riffs/breakdowns) brought to a life new bands with revival swedish melodeath style influence (mostly at the gates, but also edge of sanity, unanimated, inflames, dark tranquility, etc) with some fashionable emo treats from '00.

From a more hardcore perspective; 1st wave metalcore was heavily influenced by New York Hardcore such as Judge, Agnostic Front and Cro-Mags, but the first band to take that NYHC sound and blend even more metal in is Integrity (the first band in this video) as well as Ringworm (both originally from Cleveland, OH). But it wasn't until Earth Crisis came out with the Firestorm EP in 1993 that the more metallic sound took over hardcore in a big way. From that point so many bands came out of the hardcore scene that incorporated way more metal elements. 1st wave metalcore (or metallic hardcore) also had a lot of crossover with beatdown hardcore (a style originating in New York in the late 80's), which features a much groovier sound compared to what people traditionally call hardcore punk (Outburst, Neglect, and especially Bulldoze). Beatdown hardcore was also influential in the sense that it placed more emphasis on the breakdown.

Right? No As I Lay Dying? WTF!

Unearth.

Hatebreed definitely has a spot in, but not Killswitch, they are good but they barely have the core in Metalcore, they are the commercial Melodic one

lol just listen to irreversal and say that again@@DragoonKiller777

suck

Trivium is more like modern thrash metal and the new wave of american heavy metal this band is not metalcore and as i lay dying is melodic metalcore

@@hereticdeth7986 ok, baby, now open hustory of trivium, listen album with songs "dying in your arms, ember inferno and other, and After, Come back here and type to me Sorry Master

@@MrDushelove this songs sounds like melodic thrash metal and melodic metal zero hardcore sounds and zero breakdowns! Only song "After, Come back here" have breakdowns but not typical hardcore breakdown and groove hardcore sludgey riffs

@@MrDushelove Metallic Hardcore is the real Metalcore, what you are calling Metalcore is Melodic Metalcore and no, it didn't have it's origins on Nu Metal it had it from post hardcore and melodic death metal, it's because of Nu Metal Bands that took the influence of that 1st Melodic Metalcore that the confusion comes because are the ones who made it commercial , still there are more than one Metalcore Genre and the pure Metalcore belongs to the HC scene, some of the bands dislike the termn because of the ignorance of others who think that the melodic one is the real Metalcore, for those people they prefer to be known as Hardcore.

which is literally metalcore...

@@danielhello9558 yes but not all metalcore is metallic hardcore or at least just metallic hardcore

they’re melodic hardcore

they’re melodic death metal

@@juliogonzalez2880 Of course they are but there would be no As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour, Killswitch Engage or The Black Dahlia Murder without them.

still not metalcore. just because they influenced a lot of metalcore bands doesn’t mean they’re metalcore. that’s like saying slayer should be in a death metal list because they influenced a lot of death metal bands. that defeats the whole purpose of the video.

​@@Goryptorand without Black Sabbath there would be no At the Gates. What's your point?

@@juliogonzalez2880 They created the formula that got ripped off countless times on that record. They may be a melodeath band but that was the first modern melodic metalcore record and deserves at least an honourable mention. I originally said it as a joke/pun, nevermind.

Metallic Hardcore is the real Metalcore, what you are calling Metalcore is Melodic Metalcore and no, it didn't have it's origins on Nu Metal it had it from post hardcore and melodic death metal, it's because of Nu Metal Bands that took the influence of that 1st Melodic Metalcore that the confusion comes because are the ones who made it commercial , still there are more than one Metalcore Genre and the pure Metalcore belongs to the HC scene, some of the bands dislike the termn because of the ignorance of others who think that the melodic one is the real Metalcore, for those people they prefer to be known as Hardcore.

this bands are melodic metalcore

gay

@@handel1111 and you lesbian

@@hereticdeth7986no they’re NWOAHM post melodic metalcore fusion

​@@handel1111wow what an insult

metalcore alyways sounds like hardcore with metal influence

this is traditional metalcore video not some modern metalcore and crabcore bullshit

This is what metalcore actually is ya goofball.

@@codybulluss1987 nope. Bunch of these bands are straight up hardcore. Completely different genres

​@@Lattrodon Metalcore as a genre had to start somewhere. And most would agree that it's when hardcore bands started using elements of metal, which many of these bands display in their discographies. They're not completely different to metalcore because they started the bloody thing. It's bands like Sleep Token and Bad Omens that call themselves 'metalcore' that are absolutely not in the same genre at all.

Metallic hardcore = metalcore

@@DimaNSK-vy4br no... There is a big difference. Like does trivium and earth crisis sound alike.

@@mister9240 Metalcore is a shortened term for metallic hardcore, poser. Trivium has nothing to do with metalcore.

@@DimaNSK-vy4br ahahah poser lol. Sure bro trivium aint metalcore cuz thery are more metal than hardcore. The thing is metalcore is a spectrum. Its like mixing colors, if u add more of one than the other its gonna show. So metallic hardcore is just a flavor of metalcore, but if u so dearly want the label all for yourself (and the trve core kids) take it. But it won't make reality any different. Trivium is recognized as metalcore (sum records are more metalcore than others) and thats fact and so is Earth Crisis, both can be in the same spectrum as they are. And also gate keeping is the cringest thing bro.

@@mister9240 Metalcore in a nutshell, if you took hardcore and added features from heavy, thrash, death and groove metal.

Trivium is not metalcore

@@hereticdeth7986 literally metalcore

@@eumesmo71 this band is more like modern metal because it doesn't have a hardcore sound

@@hereticdeth7986 never heard of modern metalcore?

@@eumesmo71 yes i heard

Real metalcore is hardcore

​​@@TheExtremeCubeand real Metalcore is basically a cluster fuck of Metallic hardcore which is nothing more than Thrash, New Wave of Heavy Metal and Melodic Metal and punk vocals with metal and punk riffs

Honestly when I heard HopesFall or even PoisonTheWell, thats what I think of when I think of Real Metalcore and it's stereotypical sound, the type of Metalcore I grew up with around emo kids and shit when I grew up in the 2000s in middle school

@@KrisSchwarz98 Real Metalcore belongs to the Hardcore scene that melodic Metalcore is something else, but the pure Metalcore is Metallic Hardcore Punk, that's the real one and will always be.

@@KrisSchwarz98 Even those two bands still count as hardcore

Metallic Hardcore is the real Metalcore, what you are calling Metalcore is Melodic Metalcore and no, it didn't have it's origins on Nu Metal it had it from post hardcore and melodic death metal, it's because of Nu Metal Bands that took the influence of that 1st Melodic Metalcore that the confusion comes because are the ones who made it commercial , still there are more than one Metalcore Genre and the pure Metalcore belongs to the HC scene, some of the bands dislike the termn because of the ignorance of others who think that the melodic one is the real Metalcore, for those people they prefer to be known as Hardcore.

Hardcore is punk genre, is black flag gorilla biscuits and bad brains, Metalcore it's what it means, Amalgamation between metal and hardcore in a primitive form at 90s, obviously it belongs in hardcore scene but it doesn't means they're hardcore musically, there are much experimental music within hardcore scene, but it doesn't mean they're hardcore punk musically, I recommend you research

​@@hereticdeth7986well said

person who has only ever seen boss baby watching their second movie ever: wow this reminds me a lot like boss baby!

They are tho 😂

these bands are the literal definition of metalcore

This is metalcore. Because you look through the prism of bands from the 2000s, mid-00s and 2010s dosen't mean metalcore is melodic and generic

Melodic metalcore is it was uploaded on youtube! Plus this is real metalcore not some bands like attack attack and djentcore bullshit!

Rorschach was in video evolution of mathcore!
