Psychedelic metal is a genre that fuses the heavy, aggressive elements of metal with the mind-altering textures and exploratory spirit of psychedelic music. Characterized by dense, atmospheric soundscapes, experimental song structures, and a blending of doom-laden riffs with swirling synths or ethereal guitar effects, the genre often evokes a cosmic or occult aesthetic. Vocals range from haunting chants to harsh growls, while lyrics frequently delve into metaphysical, surreal, or introspective themes. Psychedelic metal embraces tonal and emotional contrasts, creating immersive, often cinematic sonic journeys that prioritize atmosphere as much as intensity.
