Gabber metal is a combination of elements from gabber (or other similar electronic hardcore subgenres) and heavy metal music, typically distorted, digital bass drums playing a four-to-the-floor beat and distorted, electric guitars playing emphatic rhythms. Before the hybrid hardcore punk and extreme metal genre popularized the term 'metalcore', gabber metal was often referred to as metalcore, in the spirit of speedcore, terrorcore, etcetera.
