A hybrid genre born at the crossroads of metal and alternative rock, alternative metal exploded in the 1990s with a bold approach: heavy guitars, complex rhythms, dark atmospheres, and sonic experimentation. This scene broke free from the classic metal codes by injecting influences from grunge, funk, hip-hop, and even industrial music.
Among the pioneering and emblematic bands of the genre are the unmissable Tool with their mystical depth, Deftones with their emotional textures, System of a Down and their explosive, politically charged energy, or Korn, pioneers of nu metal, whose heavy rhythms and introspective lyrics redefined the rules.
The style is marked by a great diversity of approaches: screamed or whispered vocals, dissonant riffs, atmospheric soundscapes, or ultra-aggressive assaults. Bands like Faith No More, Rage Against the Machine, or Slipknot each brought their own unique contribution to a genre with no boundaries.
