Argentine Metal

Argentine Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Argentina in the late 1980s. It is characterized by a mix of traditional heavy metal, thrash metal, and death metal, with a strong emphasis on melody and technicality. The genre is often characterized by its use of Latin American rhythms and melodies, as well as its incorporation of traditional folk instruments such as the charango and the bombo legüero. Argentine Metal bands often draw inspiration from the country's rich cultural heritage, incorporating elements of tango, folk, and Latin American music into their sound. Notable bands in the genre include Rata Blanca, Hermética, and V8.
