technical metal

Last updated:

Description

Technical metal emphasizes virtuosic musicianship, complex song structures, and demanding instrumental passages that showcase exceptional skill. The style features intricate time signatures, polyrhythmic patterns, and challenging riffs that push the boundaries of what's physically possible on instruments. While rooted in progressive and extreme metal traditions, it prioritizes technical prowess and compositional sophistication over conventional song structures.
