Collection: New Metal: Cassette Tapes

A collection of new metal music on compact disc from bands who are less than 20 years old.

Metal music is a loud, aggressive genre of rock characterized by heavily distorted guitars, powerful drumming, prominent bass, and often intense vocals, focusing on strong rhythms, amplified volume, and technical musicianship, with roots in late 1960s blues and psychedelic rock, evolving into numerous subgenres like thrash, death, and power metal. Key elements include thick, massive guitar riffs, extended solos, emphatic beats, and themes often exploring darkness, rebellion, and social commentary.
