# Trance Metal

**Trance Metal** is a metal sub-genre, formative in the 2000s. TheMetalNet maps 4 bands and 14 albums under it.

Trance metal fuses metal with electronic dance music, layering uplifting trance and techno beats, synth atmospheres, and 130-160 BPM pulses over melodic death and power metal riffing. It emerged in the mid-to-late 2000s as bands like Blood Stain Child and Deadlock folded club electronics into Gothenburg-style melody, mixing harsh and clean vocals. The mood is euphoric and driving rather than aggressive, aimed at the same rush as a dance-floor build. Amaranthe are among its most popular, poppier practitioners.
