Tennessee Metal

Tennessee metal is a diverse and dynamic genre emanating from the Volunteer State, encompassing a wide array of metal subgenres, from the crushing riffs and esoteric lyrical themes of technical death metal bands like Inferi and Virulent Depravity to the brutally honest and visceral nature of deathcore exemplified by Whitechapel. The scene is also enriched by the intricate and melodic compositions of neoclassical death metal acts such as A Loathing Requiem and the complex, dissonant soundscapes crafted by Yautja. Moreover, bands like Place of Skulls infuse traditional doom metal influences, reflecting the genre's penchant for incorporating both the aggressive and the atmospheric. Altogether, Tennessee metal is marked by its technical proficiency, intense ferocity, and a willingness to push the boundaries of heavy music.
