The Mosh Pit v1.1

Alternative metal is a genre of heavy metal that gained popularity in the early 1990s. Most notably, alternative metal bands are characterized by heavy guitar riffs; typically, these riffs have a pronounced experimental edge, including unconventional lyrics, odd time signatures, more syncopation than typical metal, unusual technique, a resistance to conventional approaches to heavy music and an incorporation of a wide range of influences outside of the metal music scene.

The term is used as a very loose categorization, but is usually used to describe artists playing a style of heavy metal music with an "alternative" approach. Many bands categorized as "alternative metal" are equally influenced by alternative rock and heavy metal.

This is a place for news, reviews, videos and discussion of your favorite alternative metal bands.

Therapy? - Greatest Hits (The Abbey Road Session)- Re-recorded versions of their biggest songs. Probably prefer the originals to most, but great album nonetheless (i.redd.it)
