Metal galego, or Galician metal, is a distinctive subgenre of metal music that originates from the Galicia region of Spain. It features a blend of traditional metal elements with influences drawn from Galicia's rich cultural heritage, including local languages, folklore, and musical styles. The lyrics often incorporate Galician, adding a regional identity to the fierce riffs and thunderous rhythms typical of metal music. Artists within this genre exhibit a range of metal substyles, from the thrash-inspired aggression of bands like Bloodhunter to the grinding death metal of Machetazo and the more melodic approaches of acts like Pacho Brea. What unites them is their infusion of Galician essence, whether through lyrical content, thematic focus, or the incorporation of regional instruments and melodies, giving metal galego a unique place within the global metal scene.
