Prog metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music characterized by its complex rhythms, extended song structures, and eclectic blend of instrumentation. Emerging in the 1980s and 1990s, prog metal drew from the progressive rock tradition, incorporating elements of classical music, jazz, and folk into its sound. The genre's heyday in the late 1990s and early 2000s saw the rise of bands that pushed the boundaries of metal's sonic possibilities, often featuring intricate time signatures, polyrhythms, and conceptual themes. Prog metal's cultural significance lies in its rejection of mainstream metal's conventions, instead embracing experimentation and artistic expression. While sharing similarities with power metal and symphonic metal, prog metal is distinct in its emphasis on atmospheric soundscapes, introspective lyrics, and dynamic vocal styles, which range from clean, melodic singing to aggressive growls and screams.
