Description

Jazzcore fuses the complex harmonies and improvisation of jazz with the aggressive intensity and raw energy of hardcore punk and extreme metal. This hybrid emerged from underground experimentalists who rejected musical boundaries, creating chaotic yet technically sophisticated compositions that shift unpredictably between dissonant fury and intricate musicianship. The result is an abrasive, intellectual sound that challenges listeners with its violent tempo changes, angular rhythms, and deliberately confrontational approach to both jazz and punk traditions.
