Organized Chaos: the art & craft of metalcore
The niche sub-genre of metalcore has quietly built a dedicated fanbase over the past 20 years. With a sound world that is complex, dense and industrial in nature, it\u2019s often kind of impenetrable or off-putting to those who aren\u2019t fans\u2014but there is much worth listening to. In this episode, we listen to The Dillinger Escape Plan, whose distinctive music\u2014replete with complex polyrhythms and dissonance\u2014pushed metal and hardcore to a greater level of sophistication. The progression of songs in our playlist illustrates the wide range of influences and techniques that the band incorporated and developed, and serves as a great introduction to this style.\n\nPlaylist with links at www.loosefilter.com.
