Reception[edit]
Sumerian Records noted in the late 2000s that "there has been a surplus of electronica/hardcore music as of late."[2] Attack Attack! is often recognized as the primary American contributor of the style,[3] being inspired by British band Enter Shikari.[4] Enter Shikari is an electronicore band that began in 1999, adding their last member and transforming to "Enter Shikari" from "Hybryd" in early 2003, in St Albans, England.[5] The group has received international radio airplay and a substantial number of musical awards, from Kerrang!, NME, Rock Sound Magazine and BT Digital Music Awards.[6][7][8] They express a relationship with electronic music genres such as trance and have been referred to as the "kings of trancecore."[9] Their second album, titled Common Dreads, was released in June 2009 and debuted on the UK Albums Chart at 16.[10] In 2020, metal band Bring Me The Horizon released Post Human: Survival Horror, which has notable elements of electronicore in a few tracks such as 1x1 which features duo Nova Twins.
