Massive Attack is a pioneering British music group formed in 1988 in Bristol, England. They are widely credited with originating the genre known as trip-hop, blending elements of hip-hop, dub, soul, and electronic music to create atmospheric and emotive soundscapes.

Massive Attack's sound is characterized by its fusion of hip-hop beats, dub rhythms, and soulful melodies, often incorporating haunting vocals and moody atmospheres. Their music has evolved over time, with albums like Mezzanine (1998) introducing darker, more abrasive tones, while 100th Window (2003) delved into minimalist electronic textures.
