Metalcore

Often dubbed new-nu-metal by many metal fans, metalcore evolved way back in the early 90's but only really came to prominence in the early 21st century with the video play of bands such as Killswitch Engage, Trivium and Bullet for My Valentine on TV music channels. Metalcore came about from combining hardcore punk and post-hardcore with metal. Influences from early emocore and screamo are also common.
