Traditional Metal
Traditional metal, also known as classic heavy metal, is a genre rooted in the foundational sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s, blending powerful riffs, soaring vocals, and anthemic melodies. It often features energetic guitar work with a mix of melodic and aggressive styles, dynamic drumming, and a strong emphasis on song-driven structures. Lyrically, it explores themes of personal struggles, mythology, and defiance. Bands in this genre draw influence from pioneers like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden while maintaining a distinct identity with regional and modern variations, keeping the spirit of classic metal alive.
