Electronica - Post-hardcore Fusion

Post-hardcore Fusion

In the mid to late 2000s, many electronic post-hardcore that bands that were newly formed began receiving attention. I See Stars's debut-full length album, 3-D and metalcore band, Attack Attack!'s debut album, Someday Came Suddenly, set a precedent for newer bands of this style.

The first single from Someday Came Suddenly, "Stick Stickly", was released on June 4, 2009. It reached a good amount of popularity as it spawned a music video as well as its inclusion as downloadable content for Rock Band 2 via the Rock Band Network in March 2010. Canadian post-hardcore band, Abandon All Ships further popularized this genre. Upon being signed to Rise Records, the band had a large success with their single "Take One Last Breath". British metalcore band Asking Alexandria expanded on the traditional electronica sounds in their cover of Akon's "Right Now (Na Na Na)" on Punk Goes Pop 3.

These bands often play songs that contain "dancable beats, with some breakdowns splashed in."

Famous quotes containing the word fusion:

    Sadism and masochism, in Freud’s final formulation, are fusions of Eros and the destructive instincts. Sadism represents a fusion of the erotic instincts and the destructive instincts directed outwards, in which the destructiveness has the character of aggressiveness. Masochism represents the fusion of the erotic instincts and the destructive instincts turned against oneself, the aim of the latter being self-destruction.
    Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
