The genre emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, coinciding with the rise of heavy metal as a dominant force in popular music. Metalfilmi bands often draw inspiration from classic films, horror movies, and science fiction, using these sources as a basis for their songwriting and imagery.

The lyrics of metalfilmi music frequently reference specific films, characters, or plot points, creating a unique blend of storytelling and heavy metal aggression. Bands in this genre may also incorporate film-related imagery into their album covers, music videos, and live performances, further blurring the line between music and cinema.

Some of the most prominent metalfilmi bands include Manowar, who have incorporated elements of fantasy and science fiction into their lyrics and imagery, and Rhapsody of Fire, known for their epic, orchestral metal compositions that often draw inspiration from classic films and literature. Other notable acts in the genre include DragonForce, who have explored themes of fantasy and adventure in their music, and Kamelot, whose lyrics often reference historical events and mythological figures.

The subgenre continues to evolve, with new bands and artists emerging and pushing the boundaries of what metalfilmi can be.
