Melodic Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that combines the heavy, distorted guitars and aggressive vocals of traditional metal with the melodic, harmonic, and often progressive elements of other genres such as progressive rock, power metal, and symphonic metal. It is characterized by its use of complex guitar riffs, intricate drum patterns, and soaring vocal melodies. Melodic Metal often features extended instrumental passages, multi-part vocal harmonies, and extended song structures. It is often characterized by its use of keyboards and synthesizers to create a more symphonic sound.
