The 1990s marked a pivotal era for Pinoy metal — an explosive, raw, and unapologetic wave of heavy music that defined a generation of Filipino music lovers. It was a time when the underground metal scene came into its own, and bands from the Philippines began to carve out their space in a genre that was once dominated by Western acts. From thrash to death metal, grindcore to black metal, the 90s were a crucial time in shaping the Filipino metal scene, bringing local talent to the global stage.
