Sure, ya got the blast beats and fast riffs, and *attempted* growling and screaming, but no, just no - it's not cool. You sound just like every other metalcore band, and it's getting boring.
The only good metalcore bands are Unearth and Shadows Fall. Everyone else just tries too hard.

A watered down poor excuse for a metal genre that claims to mix extreme metal and Hardcore punk but really adds Emo, Screamo, Pop and Glam as well. A sorry metal sub genre that falsifies the idea of punk metal into crappy crybaby new generation "brutal" pop metal. Emos and Scene Kids mostly listen to this type of music. Typically, Metalcore = Emo Metal & Deathcore = Scene Metal. Its a band wagon genre like Glam Metal and Rap, people fallow it to the end of its popularity and go back to listening to something usually non-metal related. But not always, sometimes they mature their Heavy Metal music tastes and find better music. Core kids often refer this type of music to Post Hardcore, the name states what it is, "WASN'T" hardcore.
Some of these bands try to label themselves as Grindcore or Thrash but are far from the idea of ever being so.
The genre has motivated a bunch of kids to start these types of bands and fill the underground scene with terrible ill-prepared wanna be in a band type music.
August Burns Red, Asking Alexandria, Bring me the Horizon, Attack Attack, All That Remains , Memphis May Fire, The Devil Wears Prada and Black Veil Brides are uber pathetic talentless Metalcore bands that core kids listen to and try to share with you before you kick their ass.

A nice Blend of Hardcore music, with metal. Some what more popular than hardcore, though no matter how hard it tries it will never be popular like shitty nu-metal, which is a good thing.
Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Himsa, It Dies Today, Eighteen Visions, Nora, Poison the Well, and The Bled are all metalcore bands.

a non exastant form of music. there is no such thing as "metalcore" however, there is such a thing as punk faggots trying to play metal while not admitting to liking metal and using the terms "hardcore" and "metalcore". people who subscribe to this stupid fucking term are morons who need to be killed. also see, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GODDAMN "BREAKDOWN", only such things as, untalented solo riffs...... minus the solo

Metalcore is basically an evolution of the mixing of punk and metal that has been hapening for at least 30 years. In the begining bands like Minor Threat, Bad Brains took on a harsher edge to punk music and played it fast. Their speed influenced the first wave of thrash metal like Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, etc... From there you had crossover wich was a completel blend of punk and thrash with bands like DRI, Whermacht, The Accused, Attitude Adjustment, etc. Also at this time hardcore was coming into it's own with the likes of The Cro-mags, Agnostic Front, Sick Of It All. Now you add influences of death metal from the early 90's and the fierce speed of late 80's crossover bands like Cryptic Slaughter and grind bands like Carcass and Napalm Death, especially the melodic death sounds sounds of At The Gates and In Flames and you have metalcore. More metallic and generally a more technical style of hardcore with breakdowns and clean sung parts as well for better or for worse.
Metalcore: Killswitch Engage, Unearth, Zao, Lamb Of God, Between The Buried And Me, All That Remains, Misery Signals, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Burnt By The Sun
Hardcore: Terror, Most Precious Blood, Converge, Comeback Kid, Nora
