Metalcore is a fusion genre combining elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk, that originated in the late 1980s.

Vocalists in the genre typically perform screaming; more popular bands often combine this with the use of standard singing, usually during the bridge or chorus of a song. However, the death growl is also a popular technique within the genre.
