Wisconsin metal is a vibrant and robust subgenre that combines elements of death metal, thrash, and sludge with a distinctly Midwestern grit. Characterized by its unapologetic intensity, dense riffs, and aggressive drumming, it often incorporates complex guitar work and guttural vocals that reflect the relentless energy of the region’s industrial roots. Bands like Jungle Rot and Putrid Pile exemplify the genre's brutal edge, while acts like Lazarus A.D. bring thrash influences into the mix. The scene thrives on raw, passionate performances and a tight-knit community that celebrates both innovation and tradition within metal.
