Retro Metal

Retro metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that harkens back to the classic rock and metal sounds of the 1970s and 1980s, blending nostalgic elements with modern production techniques. Characterized by its use of down-tuned, fuzzy guitars, driving bass lines, and thunderous drumming, retro metal evokes the raw energy and rebellious spirit of its predecessors. Bands in this genre often feature powerful, gritty vocals and incorporate psychedelic, stoner rock, and doom influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and innovative. These elements merge to produce anthemic, riff-heavy tracks that pay homage to metal's golden age while infusing a contemporary edge.
