New York City's metal scene is one of the most storied and diverse in the world. From Manhattan to Brooklyn, the city that never sleeps never stops delivering heavy music of every conceivable variety.
New York City occupies a unique position in heavy metal history. The city became the crucible in which thrash metal, death metal, hardcore and numerous other heavy subgenres were forged and refined.
The New York metal scene today is a sprawling, diverse ecosystem that encompasses everything from underground death metal shows in Brooklyn basements to arena-level spectacles at Madison Square Garden.
The legacy of New York in heavy music is extraordinary. Bands like Anthrax, Manowar and Type O Negative all called New York home, and the city's hardcore scene produced music that changed the world.
New York's death metal scene of the early 1990s added another chapter to an already extraordinary heavy music history. That creative intensity continues today.
