Italian Heavy Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Italy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by a strong emphasis on melody, often featuring complex guitar solos and vocal harmonies. The genre is heavily influenced by traditional Italian music, as well as classical and progressive rock. It is also known for its use of keyboards and synthesizers, as well as its often dark and melancholic lyrics. Italian Heavy Metal bands often incorporate elements of other genres, such as thrash metal, power metal, and doom metal. Notable bands in the genre include Death SS, Bulldozer, and Paul Chain.
