melodic metal
Last updated:
Description
Melodic metal combines the power and intensity of heavy metal with strong vocal melodies and harmonic guitar work. Emerging in the 1990s from European power metal scenes, it emphasizes accessibility without sacrificing technical skill or aggressive energy. The genre balances soaring choruses with intricate instrumentation and fantasy-inspired themes.
