金属蕊(Metalcore)是一个金属乐的子类型,结合了极端金属硬蕊庞克。金属蕊这个词大约是在1990年代中期出现,由极端金属的“金属”与硬蕊的“蕊”组成,而这些类型乐团有Earth CrisisDeadguyIntegrity[1]这些早期的乐团,像是Integrity,最早在1988年表演,当时玩这类型的乐团有终极杀戮乐团(Killswitch Engage)、叛客魔咒乐团(Underoath)、All That Remains混种魔兽乐团(Trivium)、As I Lay Dying致命情人乐团(Bullet for My Valentine)与The Devil Wears Prada[2]

金属蕊和其他融合庞克金属的音乐,不同之处在于:他更强调Breakdown[3]。Breakdown是一种较缓慢,节奏却强烈的曲段,通常会使听者做“冲撞”(Mosh Pit)的动作。[4]在过去的五年中,冲撞这个动作已经由乐团Sepultura立为金属蕊表演中不成文的传统。[5]关于冲撞,他则是一种在舞台前方,对空气拳打脚踢、观众互相碰撞的动作。2018年10月18日,Alex VarkatzasAtreyu的主唱,在Rock Sound Magazine的采访中错误地说他们发明了金属核心。[6]

历史[编辑]

先驱 (1977–1984)[编辑]

Black Flag[7]Bad Brains[8]这些硬蕊的先锋,相当欣赏乐团黑色安息日,进而开始模仿他们。美国街头庞克乐团,如Discharge、The Exploited都从重金属乐获得启发。[9]乐团Misfits发行的《Earth A.D.》成为影响鞭挞金属最大的一张专辑。[10]然而,庞克与金属的音乐文化在1980年代中期以前,仍有区别。

混合鞭挞 (1984–1988)[编辑]

在金属与硬蕊的交互影响下,混合鞭挞(Crossover Thrash)就这么诞生了。1984年,在加州柏克莱的一间叫作Ruthie's的俱乐部。[11],“金属蕊”这个词原先就是来形容这些混合金属与硬蕊的乐团。[12]硬蕊庞克团体Corrosion of Conformity[13]、Dirty Rotten Imbeciles和Suicidal Tendencies[14]也开始与一些鞭挞金属乐团如金属制品Metallica)、超级杀手合唱团Slayer)同台演出。这样的背景影响了纽约硬蕊的光头党们,纽约硬蕊始自1984年,这些团体有Cro-Mags、Murphy's Law、Agnostic Front[15]与Warzone[16]。其中受影响最大的乐团The Cro-Mags,被等同于Bad Brains、摩托头Motörhead)和黑色安息日。[17]Cro-Mags同样融合了直刃族straight edge),令人惊讶的还有奎师那意识Krishna consciousness).[18]其他纽约直刃族们,包括Gorilla Biscuits、Crumbsuckers与Youth of Today[19],也加入了Youth Crew风格。[20]到了1985年,Breakdown开始在硬蕊音乐发展,他是一种Bad Brains的雷鬼与金属背景的结合[4],使得观众做出“冲撞”的动作。Agnostic Front发行于1986年的专辑《Cause for Alarm》与歌德金属乐团Type O Negative成员Peter Steele合作,正是一个硬蕊与金属交融的分水岭。[21]

金属化的硬蕊 (1989–1995)[编辑]

1989与1995年之间,一群新潮的硬蕊乐团出现了。[2]这些乐团有Merauder、All Out War、[22]Integrity[23]Biohazard、Earth Crisis[23][24] Converge[24]Shai Hulud[25][26][27]Starkweather、Judge、[24]Strife、[23]Rorschach、[28]Vision of Disorder、[28]暴种乐团Hatebreed)。[23][28][28]Integrity受到日本硬蕊团体GISM与金属乐团超级杀手合唱团(Slayer)影响,乐团Septic Death、Samhain、摩托头(Motörhead)与欢乐分队(Joy Division)多少也影响他们。[29]同时,Earth Crisis、Converge与暴种乐团(Hatebreed)[30]死亡金属得到启发。[31]乐团Shai Hulud的作品《Hearts Once Nourished with Hope and Compassion》[25][26][27]和Earth Crisis发行于1995年的《Destroy the Machines》尤其能看见这样的影响。[32]吉他手Scott Crouse之言:

这是一个混合的的反应。我时常把Earth Crisis说为第一个带有金属味的硬蕊乐团。当然,我们不是第一个,但我想,我们的确将硬蕊提升到另一个层次。我常听见人们说:‘这些小子想把自己当潘特拉合唱团(Pantera)!’对我们来说,这真是个赞美![32]

Biohazard、Coalesce、[33]、Overcast也是早期重要的金属蕊乐团。他们被归类为“金属化硬蕊”(Metallic Hardcore)[34][35]如同媒体记者Lars Gotrich所写的:“乐团Dillinger Escape PlanBotchGive Them Rope的几张关键作品,正是一个地下音乐的里程碑,帮助那些金属蕊的先锋。在听起来太过还原的风险下-太迟了-在极端金属与硬蕊的碰头下,金属蕊自然而然的行成了,在快速加剧的拍号中,这些音乐听起来更为激进。”[36]

旋律金属蕊 (1995–至今)[编辑]

1990年代早期,第三波的新生金属蕊乐团出现了,这些乐团更著重在音乐旋律上。他们结合旋律死亡金属硬蕊庞克Emo[37]旋律金属蕊(Melodic metalcore)的乐团有Atreyu[37][38][39] 七级炼狱乐团Avenged Sevenfold)、[39] Darkest HourEighteen Visions[38]终极杀戮乐团(Killswitch Engage)、[37][40]Poison the Well[38]这些乐团最主要是受到瑞典旋死乐团,尤其是At the Gates[38]邪神大敌乐团Arch Enemy)、烈焰邪神乐团In Flames)和撒旦之作乐团Soilwork)。[41]旋律金属蕊,往往都会使用清腔[40][42][43]部分的旋律金属蕊,如魅影魔星乐团Shadows Fall),受到美国80年代华丽金属的唱腔。[44]旋律金属蕊他们被形容为“重回80年代金属的老调”一般,“一堆的排烟机、过多的独奏(和)三个爵士鼓”。[39]

特征[编辑]

金属蕊以其使用Breakdown而闻名,其中之前是重型硬核。[45]金属蕊歌手通常会尖叫,[46] 在20世纪80年代发展起来的声乐技术,是具有20世纪90年代的金属蕊核心特征。

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.
