It's "metal" in an electro house format. Big room style, big reverb, heavy guitar-like synths. The best example I can think of is the band Savoy from Brooklyn, NY. (A live band trio) If you lookup the track "The Bridge" it pretty much sums up what i think metalectro is.
Sure, its another name, but as an 80s kid growing up with Metallica, Megadeth and death metal, real hardcore metal... as in \m/... it gives me some more stable ground in this crazy edm world. In other words, it makes sense to me.
If these lords of metal shoved their guitars into Ableton Live or Logic, or some other DAW, this might be the result. It isn't as heavy as metal, but more sharp and crisp, with the purpose of filling a very big room.

"The Bridge" by Savoy may not be the first and only example, but i think it is a good example of Metalectro

and we all know that metallica made some of the best music this pathetic world has ever heard... apart from their most recent album, but we just pretend that it never happened.

Get the metalcore kid mug.A genre of music that had began in the late 80s/early 90s. Originally combining elements of metal and hardcore, it has now evolved into a dime-a-dozen plethora of bands that sound exactly the same. New school metalcore bands borrow heavily from melodic European death metal combined with stolen Slayer riffs and vocals ranging from annoying screams to cupped-mike growls. Band names are usually longer than the songtitles (i.e. Between The Buried And Me, Every Time I Die, etc). Mostly caters to mallrat teens who are glued to Facebook, shop at Hot Topic, wear skinny jeans, skateboard, and play Call Of Duty all day long.
Old school metalcore: Insult II Injury, Merauder, Into Another
New school metalcore: Bullet For My Valentine, As I Lay Dying, All That Remains

Get the Metaracist mug.The Methlacon is the act of being anally pegged by a penis extension that you have used on a minimum of 7 partners, you take an eight second hit of meth, then dig your deformed toes that resemble dew claws into your partner like spurs on a bull rider. As your partner begins to scream from the pain of your grotesque foot appendages digging into their sides, you meow in your loudest cat voice. As your partner begins to buck like a bull, you whip out the iPad and get 5 kills on the aircraft flight simulator of your choice before you get bucked off
Ol' boy was in the process of shooting down aircraft #4, almost completing the Methlacon, as SWAT took out the front door.
