Neo-trad metal, short for neo-traditional metal, is a sub-genre that revitalizes the hallmark sound, spirit, and aesthetics of classic heavy metal while incorporating modern production techniques and contemporary influences. Rooted in the foundational elements of 1980s metal, this genre emphasizes soaring, operatic vocals, galloping riffs, melodious solos, and anthemic choruses. Bands like Ross The Boss and Sacred Steel infuse their music with epic themes and intricate compositions reminiscent of pioneers like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. These artists meld the nostalgic fervor of power metal, the precision of progressive metal, and the raw energy of speed metal to craft a sound that appeals both to veteran metalheads and new listeners seeking timeless, yet fresh metallic experiences.
