Cyber metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by its fusion of aggressive metal riffs, pulsating electronic beats, and futuristic, industrial-tinged atmospheres. Typically, cyber metal features rapid-fire drumming, downtuned guitars, and prominent use of synthesizers and keyboards to create a dense, mechanized sound. Vocals often range from screaming and growling to clean, melodic singing. Originating in Europe, particularly in Finland and Sweden, the genre drew inspiration from industrial, techno, and trance music, reflecting the era's fascination with technology and digital culture. Cyber metal's cultural significance lies in its exploration of the intersection of humanity and technology, often incorporating themes of sci-fi, futurism, and social critique. While related to industrial metal and electronicore, cyber metal's distinctive blend of metal aggression and electronic experimentation sets it apart.
