El metalcore (acrònim de metal i hardcore punk) és un gènere musical que combina elements propis del hardcore punk i de diversos subgèneres de la música metal.[3] El terme va començar a ser utilitzat cap a la meitat dels anys 90 per referir-se al so de bandes com Earth Crisis, Deadguy o Integrity;[4] i s'ha conservat en bandes com Killswitch Engage o As I Lay Dying.[5] La diferència fonamental entre el metalcore i altres gèneres pertanyents a l'anomenat punk metal (com podrien ser el crossover thrash o el grindcore) radica en l'èmfasi en els breakdowns (és a dir, un atac de nervis o una crisi nerviosa):[6][7] parts lentes i intenses que introdueixen el mosh.[8][9] Les bases d'aquest gènere van ser establertes a principis del 1989.

[Consulta: 21 setembre 2008]. «"As far as coining the term “metalcore” or coining a sound, I don't think we did. There were bands before Shai Hulud started that my friends and I were referring to as “metalcore”. Bands like Burn, Deadguy, Earth Crisis, even Integrity. These bands that were heavier than the average hardcore bands. These bands that were more progressive than the average hardcore band. My friends and I would always refer to them as “metalcore” because it wasn't purely hardcore and it wasn't purely metal. It was like a heavier hardcore band with hardcore ethics and attitude but clearly a metal influence. So we would joke around and say “Hey, it’s metalcore. Cool!” But it was definitely a tongue-in-cheek term."»
