Moshcore

Really, I dont think thats metalcore, its obviously an influence, especially on the Core part, but I'd never call it metalcore, it should have its own page I think. -Shai Hulud... Doesn't appear on this page, which is funny because they are one of the only bands I have ever seen advertise themselves as Metalcore. They have very strong influences in both Metal and Hardcore and while their sound isnt typical metalcore (to me that means unearth ala oncoming storm or darkest hour circa so sedated) they are a very good example of metalcore. - Style... Little is said about the musical stylings of metalcore and things that are specific to it as a genre, Drop C tuning (or Drop D), Doublebass (drums), the intricacy in guitar riffs that is typical to Metal (Opeth, Emperor) with the brutal vocals that resemble Hardcore (Throwdown, Blood for Blood), Drums that stray between the two, sometimes straightforward and fast, half-time moshes, importance of time signature (im not a drummer, so im a little lost in that dept.) Anyway, this article is historically weak, which is understandable, because everyone has different ideas about how we got where we are and where that even is, but the music is there in front of us, so describe it right? If the problem is agreeing on bands that fall into the genre "Metalcore" then lets start with a general list. I don't proclaim to be an expert on this, but I will end this post with what I believe to be a basic list of current and recent Metalcore bands, people should add or subtract as they see fit, we may find this impossible to do, but if we can get a working lst of metalcore bands, perhaps we can get this ball rolling a little better
