What's this music genre called? I thought "heavy metal" referred to something like Metallica although could also apply to Def Leppard, Judas Priest and the like.
This is altogether different. Is it "speed metal"?
Edit: I guess this is just what "metal" has evolved into.
Most kids today call it screamo but that's something different altogether.
What this is generally considered metalcore (or deathcore more specifically for this).
It's a result of a mixing of metal and post-hardcore punk in the late 90's. Deathcore throws a heavy death metal influence in the mix.
There's a lot of different strains of metal (well there has been since the late 80's/90's at least) and this is almost definitely the worst... also the most popular... and has pretty much become synonymous with the metal modern sound.
For some reason there's a lot of fairly big metalcore bands from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which just blows my mind, because as a southeastern Pennsylvania resident all I can imagine coming from Lancaster is the Amish...
