From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Listed genres
Should deathcore, deathgrind, NWOBHM, and thrash metal be listed?
It should, but this "disambiguation page" should not exist. Punk Metal/Metalpunk is a true genre, and it should have is own article.--Jpkmaster (talk) 00:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Allmusic.com about Punk Metal
"Punk metal is a fusion of hardcore punk and thrash metal which came to prominence during the mid-'80s. The marriage seemed natural, since both styles were intense, riff-driven, and often manically uptempo. Punk metal bands generally had more technique than the average hardcore outfit, but their riffs weren't quite as intricate as the average thrashers, and their song structures were often more straightforward. Especially early on, punk metal had a strong affinity with skatepunk, but gradually became more and more the province of metal audiences. As the '90s dawned, many remaining punk metal outfits had begun moving into the territory that became known as alternative metal; Corrosion of Conformity, for example, played a stripped-down, grungy take on the classic Black Sabbath sound, while Suicidal Tendencies experimented with alternative rock and funk metal."

"While punk-metal may sound like thrash metal to uninformed listeners, it was spawned from a radically different attitude. Both camps rely on lightning-fast speeds, but punk-metal is focused on political injustice rather than technical proficiency. The two founding fathers of the genre were almost exact opposites: Chicano skate punks Suicidal Tendencies railed against the racism of their hometown of Venice, California with their self-titled 1983 debut album, while New York-based Stormtroopers of Death, or S.O.D. (a side project of thrash outfit Anthrax), delivered the race-baiting 1985 album Speak English or Die, which demostrated the close relationship between punk and thrash metal. By the late '80s, hardcore punk bands like Corrosion of Conformity, Agnostic Front, and Ludichrist were peppering their songs with thrash metal guitar solos. As punk grew more mainstream in the '90s, classic punk influences like The Misfits became as respectable as pioneering metal sources like Iron Maiden, furthering the fusion of punk and metal. In the new millennium, bands like Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold, and the bad boys of the nu metal scene continued mining punk's credibility while simultaneously copping riffs from late-era Ozzy Osbourne.
