If u recall, back in September I predicted that “metalcore with rapping” was going to be a thing (based on the sudden popularity of SWORN IN and DANGERKIDS, among others). By now I hope u have learned to never doubt me, because when I say that a thing is gonna be a thing, it’s definitely gonna be a thing (see also my 2012 “state of the scene address”).
Via Metal Sucks is exhibit B in the case for “metalcore with rapping” being a thing:
“Well, I’m doing a mix tape right now with everybody on the scene that’s doing well. Danny [Worsnop] from Asking Alexandria, Andy [Biersack] from Black Veil Brides is singing on it. It’s all rap, but they’re singing all the choruses on it. There’s Jacoby [Shaddix] from Papa Roach. There’s Deuce, and we’ve got Craig Mabbitt [from Escape the Fate] singing on it. There’s more too, but every track is going to be someone.”
