Crossover Thrash (or Crossover) is a face-melting, brain-pounding combination of thrash metal and hardcore punk. It was started in the mid 1980s by bands like the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, Stormtroopers of Death, and Corrosion of Conformity. Crossover Thrash is often blindingly fast, with simple, metallic riffing, and punk-influenced shouting. Crossover is simpler, punkier, and not as heavy as typical thrash metal; but heavier and faster than typical hardcore punk. Crossover and Metalcore are similar, but different, as both are hardcore punk - heavy metal fusions. But Crossover is faster and not as heavy, with punky shouted vocals; while metalcore is more mid-tempo and heavier, with screamed and/or growled vocals.
