Collection: Alternative Metal

A genre-bending branch of heavy metal that took root in the late 1980s and flourished through the ’90s. Alternative metal fuses crushing riffs with elements of grunge, industrial, funk, and even hip-hop—trading tradition for experimentation. Expect dynamic vocals, unconventional song structures, and a sound that’s as emotional as it is aggressive.

Driven by genre-defying bands like Tool, Deftones, Faith No More, and System of a Down, this is where heaviness meets innovation—metal with no rules.
