Musical characteristics

Some post-hardcore bands use computer-generated trance - or electro sounds - in their music . What differentiates the style from typical post-hardcore, besides the influences just mentioned, are the vocoder voices. In contrast to the Nintendocore , whose most important representative is Horse the Band , no “8-bit Nintendo sounds” are used, but rather atmospheric trance leads.

Trancecore is characterized by the same instrumentation as in post-hardcore, the use of breakdowns as in metalcore , of synthesizers and auto-tune effects in vocals. In the genre itself, dynamic transitions from quieter ballads to heavier metalcore pieces are possible, sometimes even in the same piece. Through the use of electronic music, for example, a fusion of post-hardcore and trance , dance , techno , electro and dubstep can also be called trancecore.
