Electronicore (also known as synthcore or trancecore) is a fusion genre of metalcore music with elements of various electronic music genres, often including trance, electronica, and dubstep.

Reception

Attack Attack! is often recognized as the primary American contributor of the style,[1] being inspired by British band Enter Shikari.[2] Enter Shikari is an electronicore band that began in 1999 as Hybryd, adding their last member and adopting their current name in early 2003, in St Albans, England.[3] The group has received international radio airplay and a substantial number of musical awards, from Kerrang!, NME, Rock Sound Magazine and BT Digital Music Awards.[4][5][6] They express a relationship with electronic music genres such as trance and have been referred to as the "kings of trancecore."[7] Their second album, titled Common Dreads, was released in June 2009 and debuted on the UK Albums Chart at 16.[8] In 2020, British band Bring Me The Horizon released Post Human: Survival Horror, which has notable elements of electronicore in a few tracks such as 1x1 which features duo Nova Twins.

Characteristics

Electronicore is characterized by typical metalcore instrumentation, breakdowns, and heavy use of sequencers, conventional instrument recorded-note samplers, electronic tone-generating synthesizers, auto-tuned singing, and screamed vocals.[9][10][11] The genre often features dynamic transitions from soft electronica ballads to intense metalcore passages. However, the degree to which metalcore characteristics are incorporated may vary. In addition to electronica, the fusion may involve a variety of other electronic music genres, including techno,[12][13] trance,[7] dubstep,[14] electro,[15] and dance.[11]
