Hungarian metal is the heavy metal music scene of Hungary. One of the most popular and well-known band is Attila Csihar's Tormentor.[citation needed] In 2023, Hungarian rock band The Hellfreaks compiled a Loudwire of ten bands that "define Hungary's metal scene", which included Mad Robots, Thy Catafalque, Subscribe, Blind Myself, Lazarvs, FreshFabrik, Ektomorf, Neck Sprain, The Southern Oracle. Loudwire added that The Hellfreaks helped to "increase the Hungarian metal scene's visibility on a global scale".[1]
Hungary was represented by a metal band AWS at Eurovision Song Contest 2018.[2][3]
Kirkus Reviews, in passing, chose heavy metal genre to characterize Hungarian music, though "even the hardest-core Hungarian heavy metal headbanger will acknowledge a fondness for Muzsikás, Márta, and táncház".[4]
