  Mallcore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mallcore is a derogatory term typically used by fans of a heavy metal subgenre, such as extreme metal, to demote a group or subgenre that they feel should not be called heavy metal, such as nu-metal or metalcore.
The term itself may have originated from the slang phrase "mall rat" in that the listeners of mallcore are supposed to be white suburban residents in their early teens.
Bands that are grouped into mallcore also tend to use musical techniques that either go against the "norm" of that genre or are regarded as extremely formulaic.

 The General Thesis on Metal, Mallcore, and Metal(Punk)core: Know Your Roots
Well at any rate, knowing musically what is metal would help you distinguish what is metal, mallcore or metalcore, which I will not refer to as punkcore for a reason I will discuss later.
Mallcore is just that, it is not a sub-genre of metal; just a horrible musical genre on its own that has no business being associated with metal.

Perhaps I’m just totally burnt out on this still relatively youthful style, but I’d have to say the follow-up to the promising Evidence Of Iniquity EP is a letdown in a number of ways, and falls short of the groundbreaking potential the band showed on their initial outing.

Complexity is meant to coincide with intelligent lyrics, and melodic vocals, and dual-harmonized guitars...Slipknot, and all mallcore, is not metal.
Nu-metal is not metal...and while that is fine and dandy, I can't stand people claiming it is. The mallcore fans I know are ignorant, saying that metal sucks if all of the all of the non-mallcore bands I just mentioned make up true metal.
But these mallcore 'tards would probably detest Ozzy's other stuff, since it never was a hit, and since MTV doesn't play it.

Pop metal, screamo, mallcore or whatever you want to call the genre has been dying from copycats and banality for quite some time.
Sadly, Lorene Drive only continues and furthers the deadly cancer of predictability that is killing the pop metal (screamo, mallcore) genre.
Sure, Lorene Drive can write some familiar sounding songs, have a catchy chorus here and there, a cool riff and a faux heavy breakdown, but in the end, there the 2645636th band to do it.

The production is ok, but it could be so much more powerful and clear than it is. Still, it's better than most.
But with top class production I could see this band joining the ranks of In Flames and Dark Tranquility in the hearts and minds of America's Hot Topic mallcore kids.
Whether that would be good or ill is not for me to decide, but I'd still like to hear them with a sparkling crystal recording.

 OtakuBoards - Wow, this is surprising!
By now, everyone knows about this band, as they have mushroomed from a local act in small-town America to a big name band in just a year or so.
Firstly: the terrible rapping part on the otherwise fine tune "Bring Me To Life" was an addition made by their label, in an effort to push one of their other acts, some horrible mallcore band that has hopefully been flushed into the toilet of obscurity by now.
But anyway, there is no more of that **** on the rest of the album, and "My Immortal" is the only ballad, so it follows that the rest of the CD has plenty of room to be killer, and a lot of it is.

in the metal genre, Rammstien and Korn and so forth are derided as "mallcore", metal for teenyboppers...
I also pledge a death-oath-to-find-and-kill-said-perpetrator on the lives of those calling Rammstein mallcore.
The fanatical skinheads at Rammstein concerts are more than enough to scare off teenyboppers, as are the exploding phones, flame-throwers and shoes-with-fireworks-attached.

Dime is an incredible guitarist but, this sounds like your basic drop-D, chugga-chugga, boring mallcore.
There are some moment where the vocals are decent, such as on the "Moment of Truth" where the mallcore scream is dropped for real singing.
A few songs flirt with Pantera's groove such as the midpaced "Blunt Force Trauma" and the excellent melodic, acoustic, closing track "Soul Bleed".
