Massive Attack

Massive Attack is a British band formed in Bristol in 1987, known for pioneering a moody, atmospheric blend of hip hop rhythms, dub, soul, and electronic textures that is often associated with the trip hop style. Their music commonly features slow, layered beats, deep bass, sample-based production, and recurring guest vocalists, yielding cinematic and melancholic arrangements. Core figures include Robert Del Naja, Grant Marshall, and originally Andrew Vowles, and the group is closely linked to the Bristol music scene and collaborations with singers such as Shara Nelson, Horace Andy, and Elizabeth Fraser.
