Metal Beats.
Metal beats are guitar-led instrumentals driven by high-gain riffs, double-kick drum patterns, tight palm-muted rhythms and drop-tuned breakdowns, ranging from mid-tempo 100 BPM grooves to 180 BPM blast sections. BeatStore's metal catalogue includes metalcore, nu-metal and trap-metal crossovers, which is where most rap-metal and rage records start. Track stems are included on many licences if you want to re-amp or re-track guitars, and downloads unlock immediately after payment.

Riff First, Everything Else Second
Metal beats are guitar-led. High-gain, drop-tuned riffs define the harmony and the rhythm at once, double-kick patterns fill the space underneath, and palm-muted picking keeps the low end tight enough to stay articulate at speed. Tempos run from mid-paced 100 BPM grooves to 180 BPM blast sections.
- High-gain, drop-tuned guitars carrying both riff and rhythm.
- Double-kick drumming and tight, gated snare work.
- Palm-muted sections that keep fast riffs from turning to mud.
- Breakdowns that halve the tempo for maximum impact.
Metal, Trap Metal and Rage
Metalcore and nu-metal crossovers are where most rap-metal and rage records begin, pairing distorted guitars with 808s and trap hi-hats. If you plan to re-amp or re-track guitars yourself, take a licence that includes track stems so the guitars arrive separated from the drums.
Downloads unlock immediately after payment, and every licence's terms are shown before you buy.
