Despite later interviews where the band claimed not to be a hardcore band, they were part of the hardcore scene. Later on, they became more of a metal band and appealed to those fans. When I used to go to see them in the late 80's, they would play hardcore shows, not "metalcore" shows. Metalcore, like rapcore, is a term that came up much later to describe forms of music that people couldn't, or didn't want to, pigeonhole into some other category. There were no metalcore shows and no metalcore scene back then because it didn't exist. Nobody called it that. If you want to add something saying that their mixture of the two genre served a precursor to what some call metalcore, then go right ahead. But to ignore the real past and label them as something they never were is just silly. JohnBWatt 02:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
