Cleveland Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by a raw, aggressive sound, often featuring fast tempos, distorted guitars, and intense vocals. The genre is heavily influenced by thrash metal, punk, and hardcore punk, and is often associated with the city's industrial and post-industrial heritage. Cleveland Metal bands often incorporate elements of traditional metal, such as Iron Maiden-style dual guitar harmonies, into their sound.
