In March 2008 we asked “What Do You Think of Metalcore?”. According to the results most people love metalcore. I expected higher resistance to metalcore, so this time our poll was surprising for me.

The choices in the poll were:
* Wow! I love metalcore!
* It’s ok, just music as any other genre.
* Metalcore sucks!
* What is metalcore?

The results of our March poll show that 47% of those who answered love metalcore. 21% of people say “metalcore is ok, just music as any other genre”. What is surprising for me, only 16% say “metalcore sucks”. For some reason I expected a higher figure. May be the reason is that I have seen so many messages of people hating metalcore. Also 16% of those who answered ask “what is metalcore”.

For those who don’t know what metalcore is, see what is said in Wikipedia: “Metalcore is a music fusion genre that incorporates elements of heavy metal and hardcore punk. The term is a portmanteau of heavy metal and hardcore punk. Due to the rise in popularity in the United States during the early 2000s, the genre has also been described as the “New Wave of American Heavy Metal” by some, as an allusion to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal of the late 1970s“.

There are few great metalcore bands. Although I listen to death metal most of the time, every now and then I find myself listening to Bullet For My Valentine. What I really like in BFMV is their guitars. Absolutely great sounds. Also the voice of Matthew Tuck is not bad at all. Bullet For My Valentine is one good example of metalcore bands. Just check their latest video as an example.
