Progressive metal with electronics and The Materials
A guide to progressive metal with electronics: what to listen for, where to begin, and where The Materials sits in this neighboring area.
Progressive metal with electronics is not one subgenre but a way to join weight, evolving form, and synthetic sound in one dramatic arc. Electronics can provide pulse, contrast, texture, or distance rather than merely sit on top of a riff.
VOLA, TesseracT, Northlane, The Algorithm, Celldweller, Sybreed, Fear Factory, and Nine Inch Nails map different balances of electronics and metal. The list is for navigation, not a claim that they sound alike.
The Materials may appeal to listeners of this area when both the riff and the synthetic space matter. For the wider map, see Electronic heavy music; for form, Progressive metal.
