Obscure genre of music even to the underground music scene so much it is known as the music and culture of the underworld, it's combining of the two extreme cultures and music have cause controversy with rap fans and metal fans although many metal bands today use the concept of combining the musical styles.

This genre of music emerged in the early 90's a style that originated in Oakland, California USA by an underground pioneer named Omardoe. Many writers have confused the listening audience by suggesting that the music attracts a certain race of people, this is rejected by people of the underworld culture who know the music to be a force uniting all subcultures and see race issues as a promoted illness of bigotry.

There are several bands from the early 90's that writers describe as Gangsta Metal but these bands themselves did not describe the music as such. For years Gangsta Metal was a concept of uniting culture and music with parties that played both metal and Gangsta music, and street people who were outcast by both worlds getting together on the streets exchanging sub-cultures. This is known as the underworld the outcast of the underground.

In the year 2000 Omardoe formed a band called Debtera which is known as the first band to represent the music of the underworld; Gangsta Metal as a genre a sound and culture, blending the music and the culture without the pimps and hoes, degradation of women and without racism of any kind.

Obscure genre of music the emerged within the early 90s. Although some would consider this to be a strange combination it has been gaining popularity in recent years. However, the genre itself still remains deeply underground due to it's strange combination making it lose appeal to gangsta rap fans and metal fans.

Pioneers of this unique form of metal into Black Apocalypse, Devil's Thugz, N.N.D and Dark Heaven. The Lyrically content usually consists of street life, black opression and government politics. Although considered a mockery, satanic and a disgrace to thier race by by in the black community. Gangsta Metal isn't as satanic as the it am suggest, however, bands such as Atheist Pride have a strong view on the flaws on religion and that it is keeping the black race in slavery and opressing women and homosexuals.

Think Old Metallica or Slayer instruments, guitar solos and enegry with N.W.A or Public Enemy lyrics. Gangsta Metal has attracted many black people who find 'normal' metal to be primarily white or satanic. Gangsta Metal often have album names that would appear to be regular metal with song titles that one would expect from rap.

Subgenres of this type of music include Gangsta Thrash Metal (Black Apocolasype and Decaying Silence) Gangsta Christian Death Metal (Children of Elohim) and Gangsta Goth Metal (Abrachasyn's Ashes and Veronica's Veil)
