Summary:

“I’m sorry, what was that? No, the second part…the part that came after that…”

METALCORE seems to be all over the place, in that its components are quite varied and cover a broad spectrum of everything that has historically made metal awesome: double bass drumming, guitar shred, breakdowns and mosh parts, and sometimes even some emo screaming and heartfelt vocals sung straight from the balls. Like a heavy metal jambalaya with a ton of different ingredients, METALCORE is the next wave of metal for a new generation of metalheads who want to enjoy a little bit of everything all at once.

Be sure to stop “adulting” and remember that “when people lose their argument, they shift their whole stance”. Realize the darker connotations of saying “I did a thing today” and understand that Cory Hart wears his sunglasses at night because it’s terrifying to be “blinded by the light”. 

Get ready to ponder the entertainment value of a “scientifically accurate Spiderman”, brace for some quality “decoction” bloopers from the cutting room floor of “Transition Hospital”,  accept the fact that there are still some folks who believe “a non-tattooed 6 is way hotter than a fully tatted 10”, grab yourself “a hot pocket” and JOIN US as we sample the smorgasbord of modern fusion metal known as METALCORE.
