Terrorcore

Information about Terrorcore

Terrorcore (by most people shortened to terror), which originated in The Netherlands, is a term used to describe a subgenre of hardcore techno. Compared to other hardcore styles like breakcore, which uses the influence of breakbeat, and speedcore, which concentrates on exceedingly high beats per minute, terrorcore is a difficult term to define as each listener has a different definition of what terror is. Terrorcore employs the use of "scary" samples and synthesised sounds to give the tunes their "terror" edge. Also terrorcore can utilize both sped-up drum and bass samples and four-to-the-floor drum patterns similar to speedcore, frequently with tunes switching between both styles and then dropping with both simultaneously.

Terrorcore has been used to describe:
  • Tracks between 180 to 300 beats per minute. when it goes faster it's concidered Speedcore by most people.
  • Tracks with varying numbers of layers to their sound. ie, a simple construction of bassline and ambient sounds versus tracks that use many sound sources, all often played at the same time (a "busy" track).
  • Tracks will often contain heavy sampling from horror and science fiction films and other such "dark" media sources.
  • Distorted "noizelines".
Terror Producers often also produce other substyles like
