Alternative Metalcore

Alternative Metalcore is a subgenre of metalcore that combines elements of alternative metal, metalcore, and other genres such as post-hardcore, progressive metal, and nu metal. It is characterized by its heavy, distorted guitar riffs, breakdowns, and screamed vocals. It often incorporates elements of melody and atmosphere, and often features clean singing in the chorus. It is often seen as a more accessible version of metalcore, and is often seen as a bridge between metalcore and alternative metal.
