Crust

Crust is a genre of extreme metal music that evolved from the UK punk scene in the early 1980s. It is a mix of punk and metal that features distorted guitars, aggressive vocals, and fast tempos. It is typically characterized by its heavy use of distortion, atonal riffing, and the frequent use of feedback. The genre is said to be heavily influenced by the likes of Discharge, Motörhead, and Amebix. The genre has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with bands such as Nails, Converge, and Full of Hell leading the charge.
