Russian Heavy Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Russia in the late 1980s. It is characterized by its aggressive sound, often featuring distorted guitars, fast tempos, and powerful vocals. The lyrics often focus on themes of Russian nationalism, patriotism, and pride in the country's history and culture. The genre has been heavily influenced by Western metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Megadeth, as well as traditional Russian folk music. Russian Heavy Metal has become increasingly popular in recent years, with bands such as Aria, Epidemia, and Korrozia Metalla gaining international recognition.
