A sub-genre of Hardcore punk. Mosh metal is characterized by drop-tuned guitars, excessive use of the e chord, simplistic song writing, and a harsh/beefy vocal style. The lyrical content often revolves around macho posturing, friendship, and straight edge. Bands that play this style of music include Hate Breed, Earth Crisis, Terror, Buried Alive, and Walls of Jericho.
