Metal Mineiro

Metal mineiro is a compelling subgenre of heavy metal that originated in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, particularly in the capital city, Belo Horizonte, during the 1980s. Characterized by its aggressive and often raw sound, this style combines ferocious speed and intricate guitar work with an ominous atmosphere, reflecting the gritty, urban energy of its birthplace. The artists within this genre, such as the pivotal Sepultura, as well as bands like Sarcófago and Holocausto, often push the boundaries of extremity in metal through their fast-paced drumming, harsh vocal styles, and confrontational lyrical themes, which frequently draw on socio-political issues and occult imagery. Metal mineiro left a lasting imprint on the global metal scene, influencing countless bands and helping to establish Brazil as a significant hub for heavy metal music.
