Metalcore for life and life's good

Top Stories Hello people let me start by saying i used to be a secular metal music fan myself listening and going to shows (slipknot,slayer,down,mudvayne,staind,hed pe,pantera),but i would also listen and go to shows of christian artist as i lay dying,p.o.d.,zao,haste the day,winter solstice as well. And one day i realized that i can't be on both sides of the fence,praising god on one side,and then basically worshiping the devil on the other. So now i just listen to christian music exclusively(thank god)that doen't mean i judge other people for what they choose to listen to i just don't listen want to listen to anything thats negative.. Alright people, so i'm gonna give you an alternative to any popular band (not only christian but mostly) you might be into right now, i'll go through and you some of the lastest and greatest christian hardcore music and all of their sub-genres which include christcore,metalcore,hardcore and emocore CDs in existence, none of which have worldly immoral views,boastful,sexual explcit and crude language like so many hardcore bands resort to in order to get attention. Most of this music will make you have the need to destroy something and be a better person all at the same time,but in a few rare cases i'll put in something a bit more mellow, but only if it deserves it. Let's get started! Metalcore From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Metalcore is an broad term used to describe fusion genres that incorporate elements of the hardcore punk and heavy metal genres. :Crossover thrash
Cross-pollination between metal and hardcore eventually birthed the crossover thrash scene, which gestated at a Berkeley club called Ruthie's, in 1984. The term "metalcore" was originally used to refer to these crossover groups. Hardcore punk groups Corrosion of Conformity, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and Suicidal Tendencies played alongside thrash metal groups like Metallica and Slayer. This scene influenced the skinhead wing of New York hardcore, which also began in 1984, and included groups such as Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law, Agnostic Front and Warzone. The Cro-Mags were among the most influential of these bands, drawing equally from Bad Brains, Motörhead, and Black Sabbath.
Melodic metalcore (1997-Present)
In the late 1990s, a third wave of metalcore groups appeared, who placed significantly greater emphasis on melody. Such bands as Bullet for My Valentine, Still Remains, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, All That Remains, Darkest Hour, Poison the Well, Trivium, Underoath and Atreyu are the most commercially successful practitioners of metalcore. These groups took major influence, cues, and writing styles from melodic death metal bands, particularly In Flames and At the Gates. Melodic metalcore frequently makes use of clean vocals, and is significantly less dissonant than other metalcore. Some of these groups, such as Shadows Fall, have voiced an affection for '80s glam metal. Melodic metalcore groups have been described as "embracing '80s metal clichés", such as "inordinate amounts of smoke machines, rippin' solos, and double bass drums".
In the mid-2000s, metalcore emerged as a commercial force, with several independent metal labels, including Century Media and Metal Blade, signing metalcore bands. By 2004, melodic metalcore had become popular enough that Killswitch Engage's The End of Heartache, and Shadows Fall's The War Within debuted at numbers 21 and 20, respectively, on the Billboard album chart. Welsh metalcore band Bullet for My Valentine's second album, Scream Aim Fire, went straight to 4 on the Billboard 200. Underoath's album Define the Great Line, released in 2006, peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 charts. Hatebreed, God Forbid, and As I Lay Dying have also charted.[43][44][45] Metalcore bands have also received prominent slots at Ozzfest, Download Festival, and Warped Tour.
Instrumentation
Metalcore bands generally feature two electric guitarists who often play fast riffs with dual leads. Bassists usually follow the rhythm guitar. The drummer usually performs using double-kick or double-bass drums.
Vocals
Vocals in metalcore are often screamed or shouted. Growling vocals became common among many 1990s metalcore groups. Melodic metalcore groups combine these with clean vocals.

Ideologies
Metalcore initially emerged from the milieu surrounding youth crew hardcore, with many of the groups adhering to straight edge beliefs (that is to say, abstention from drugs and alcohol), though Integrity was a notable exception. Earth Crisis proselytized for veganism and animal rights, which had an enduring effect on numerous bands, including Converge. Converge was also notable for their focus on personal anguish and experiences of failed romantic love. One Life Crew and other skinhead hardcore groups, were controversial for their right-wing political beliefs. Dwid Hellion, frontman of Integrity, advocated the "Holy Terror Church of Final Judgment", an outlook related to Satanism. Several members of contemporary melodic metalcore groups are practicing Christians: Zao, As I Lay Dying, Underoath and Norma Jean ,The Devil Wears Prada and Haste The Day are the most famous examples.
Styles
:The best part of every metalcore song is the breakdown, the part where the drums drop out and the guitars slow their frantic gallop to a devastating, precise crunch-riff and everyone in the moshpit goes extra nuts." - Tom Breihan. "Status Ain't Hood". "Live: Trivium, the Jackson 5 of Underground Metal".
"Mosh style was slower, very tribal - like a Reggae beat adapted to Hardcore. It was an outbreak of dancing with a mid-tempo beat driven by floor tom and snare." Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalcore"
