Shock rock is a theatrical and provocative subgenre of rock and metal that blends heavy, aggressive music with shocking visuals and stage antics. Known for its macabre imagery, horror-inspired aesthetics, and controversial themes, the genre often features elaborate costumes, grotesque makeup, and over-the-top performances that challenge social norms. From eerie voodoo-inspired theatrics to blistering speed guitar and industrial-tinged aggression, shock rock thrives on spectacle and rebellion. Its artists embrace themes of gore, the occult, and the grotesque, making their music as confrontational as their image.
