Latvian Metal

Latvian Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Latvia in the early 1990s. It is characterized by its aggressive sound, often featuring distorted guitars, fast tempos, and harsh vocals. The genre is heavily influenced by thrash metal, death metal, and black metal, but also incorporates elements of traditional Latvian folk music. Latvian Metal bands often sing in both Latvian and English, and the lyrics often focus on themes of national pride, mythology, and history.
