Industrial hardcore, also called Noisecore, is a term used to describe the crossover of hardcore techno and rhythmic noise. (sometimes with Hard Techno influence) Compared to other hardcore styles which usually use melodies and/or hoover sounds, industrial hardcore is rarely melodic, and focused more on overly distorted snares along with interchanging sampled bass drum loops. This style is also slower then the other hardcore genres: The tempo is usually ranges between 145-165 bpm, but can be even slower, or faster. Using of (sometimes distorted) percussion samples is also more usual than in some other hardcore genres, however it's still not the basic characteristic of the style.
Industrial hardcore utilizes the darker image of industrial, pieces of dark ambient and death industrial can be found in various tracks as a transition between drumloops and breakdowns.
