Metal ecuatoriano, or Ecuadorian metal, is a vibrant and forceful genre that encompasses a diverse spectrum of metal subgenres, reflecting the dynamic musical landscape of Ecuador. From the high-energy speed and heavy riffs of Viuda Negra to the brutal depths of Gastrorrexis's death metal, the scene is characterized by its intensity and technical prowess. Bands like Colapso and Ente often infuse traditional metal elements with local cultural influences, adding unique Ecuadorian textures to their sound. The underground spirit is alive with groups such as Oponente Interno and Resistencia, who channel their messages of political and social dissent through aggressive vocals and relentless rhythms. Death metal acts like Infectology and Mortuum EC push the boundaries with their guttural growls and complex compositions, while Mortal Decisión nods to the old-school thrash roots, illustrating the genre's rich and eclectic nature.
