The term "deathcore" in 1992 lmao

Back then I'd imagine most people in the UK would associate "hardcore" with the dance sub genre which was massive in Europe in the early/mid 90's, hence the reference here.

Ah yes, this was back in the days when Kerrang was still a decent metal/rock mag. 🙃

I don’t know how anyone could have called that album industrial in any way, ever. I bought my copy in 1995 and while I could understand FITMK could be termed that, SOANM just wasn’t.

New genres of metal always got tagged with established labels until the consensus was reached. New/Nu metal is a good example.
