138 Ringworm Genre (Metallic Hardcore), Ohio USA, 90’s to present and

Earth Crisis Genre (Metallic Hardcore), New York, USA, 90's/00's

In the 1990’s hardcore underwent a transformation towards a heavier metal sound. To sum things up, bands like Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys didn’t sound all that hard anymore, and so a sort of crisis in hardcore occurred. Hence we got what they now label Metallic hardcore, or as I like to call it "proto metalcore." I suppose this transformation was necessary to contribute to the modern hardcore sound that we have today, but the genre itself was too simplistic and redundant sounding. In short, there is a reason why bands like the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag & the Misfits hold legendary status, while Earth Crisis, Ringworm & Integrity are mere footnotes in musical history.
