A fusion music genre that combines elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk. Metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns—slow, intense passages conducive to moshing. Other defining instrumental qualities include heavy riffs often utilizing percussive pedal tones, stop-start rhythm guitar playing, occasional blast beats, and double bass drumming. Drop guitar tunings are often used. Vocalists in the genre typically yell or scream. Some later metalcore bands combine this with clean singing, often during the chorus. Death growls and gang vocals are common. 1993– .
