Last updated:
Experimental metal pushes beyond traditional heavy music boundaries by incorporating unconventional song structures, electronic elements, extreme dissonance, or cross-genre fusion with styles like jazz, hip-hop, or avant-garde noise. It prioritizes innovation and artistic risk-taking over commercial appeal, often challenging listeners with abrasive textures and unpredictable compositions. This tag captures metal's most boundary-pushing and genre-defying expressions.
