Funk Metal

Funk Metal (Rock) combines the raw power of heavy metal with infectious funk grooves, delivering a high-energy, danceable rock experience. Pioneered in the 1980s by acts like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More and Living Colour, this genre fuses distorted guitar riffs, slap-bass lines and dynamic vocals. Funk Metal’s signature sound features tight rhythms, virtuosic solos and an edgy attitude that appeals to fans of both metal and funk.
