Metallikuoro is a genre of choir music that incorporates elements of heavy metal music into traditional choral compositions. The genre emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s, drawing inspiration from the heavy metal genre's use of distorted guitars, powerful drumming, and often aggressive or dramatic vocal styles. Metallikuoro groups typically consist of a choir and a backing band, with the choir singing lead vocals and the band providing instrumental accompaniment.

The music of metallikuoro often features complex vocal harmonies, melodic lines, and lyrics that explore themes such as fantasy, mythology, and the supernatural. The genre's use of heavy metal instrumentation and production techniques, such as distortion and reverb, can create a unique and intense sound that blends the raw energy of metal with the emotional depth of choral music.

Metallikuoro has gained popularity in various countries, with notable groups emerging from Finland, Germany, and the United States. The genre's fusion of choral and metal elements has led to the creation of a distinct musical identity, with metallikuoro groups often performing at metal festivals and concerts alongside traditional metal bands. The genre's popularity has also led to the development of metallikuoro competitions and festivals, providing a platform for groups to showcase their talents and share their unique musical vision.
