Groove Metal
Groove metal is a subgenre characterized by its aggressive yet infectious rhythms, often featuring downtuned guitars, driving basslines, and pounding double bass drums. Emerging in the 1990s, it drew from thrash metal's intensity and the heavy, blues-inspired riffs of Southern rock. As a distinct sound, groove metal flourished in the early 2000s, with its popularity peaking around the mid-2000s. Culturally, the genre reflects a mix of anger, frustration, and release, resonating with fans seeking cathartic expression. Drawing from thrash and death metal's technicality, groove metal incorporates melodic sensibilities, distinguishing it from more brutal styles. Its signature blend of heavy, catchy hooks and intense, syncopated rhythms has influenced a wide range of metal subgenres, solidifying its place in the metal landscape.
