The Rapcore Metal List
Edition July 2001

What the hell is this?
Firstly, this is the start of a list which will catalog the
wealth of Rapcore Metal in the world. And, since it is in it's
infancy, it will need updates and submissions. Send these to:

StrangeAeons@compuserve.com

What is Rapcore Metal?
It is a mixture in styles of music that combines Heavy Metal
and Rap. The instrumental is usually chunky and very rhythmic in
nature. And the style varies quite a bit based on the proportions
and other inflections brought into the mix.
Who wrote this stupid list?
I, Bill Vogel III, did. But firstly, I'd like to thank
Thomas Wolmer for all of his previous lists which influenced me to
do this list.
I write many reviews which circulate the nets, and I publish
an ezine called Stranger Aeons. I am also the Keeper of The
Death/Grind Metal list.
I do this work for free, because I love the music.
How do I read this crap?
The general format is a modified version of Thomas Wolmer's
style. It reads like this:
Band Name: general band info...
\notes...
"release name"/format/year [label]
\notes
...
The format will only be listed if it is a demo, 7 inch single
(7"), etc.
The list will be in an alphabetic listing, although it may
be rough the first couple of issues. Enjoy.
