Metallpaela

Metallpaela is a subgenre of heavy metal music that combines elements of traditional heavy metal with the melodic and technical aspects of power metal. The term "metallpaela" is a portmanteau of "metal" and "paela," a Spanish dish that is often associated with the region of Valencia. The genre emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, gaining popularity in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries.

Metallpaela bands typically feature complex guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and a strong emphasis on melody. They often incorporate elements of other metal subgenres, such as symphonic metal and progressive metal, to create a unique sound. The lyrics of metallpaela bands often revolve around themes of fantasy, mythology, and the supernatural, reflecting the influence of power metal.

Some of the most notable metallpaela bands include Los Suaves, Los Diablos, and Los Enemigos. These bands have gained a dedicated following in Spain and have contributed to the growth of the metallpaela genre. The genre has also seen the rise of several international bands, such as DragonForce and Kamelot, which have incorporated metallpaela elements into their music.
