Description: This chapter explores contemporary Australian metalcore and post-hardcore through a focus on performances of intensity and authenticity, and positions these connected musical scenes as an increasingly significant segment of Australia’s national cultural music identity. Australia has seen an unprecedented rise in the popularity and visibility of metalcore and post-hardcore as allied alternative music subgenres, with prominent national bands achieving album chart-topping positions in the week of release, and increasing mainstream media attention. This relative popularity and attention reflects recent attitudes to embracing heavy music in Australia and acknowledges the increasing penetration of metal subgenres into Australian popular culture.
