	MAXIMUM METAL
		Originally seen as the retarded cousin to hard rock, Metal rose to prominence with enough outcast, teenage boys under its wing to stand on its own.
		It's an extremely brutal mix of speed, thrash, and gore with riffs that range from slower, heavy as molasses type riffs to lightning speed fretwork with blast beats and pummeling double bass.
		N.W.O.B.H.M. (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) British metal from when Zeppelin was dying out in the late 70s and by far the longest initialized genre term in metal.

	Heavy metal music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heavy metal is typically characterized by a guitar-and-drum-dominated sound, strong rhythms and classical, bluesy or symphonic styles.
		Heavy metal themes are typically more grave than the generally airy pop from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s—focusing on war, nuclear annihilation, environmental issues, and political or religious propaganda.
		The most popular subgenre of heavy metal emerged in the United States, coming from glam metal bands of the 1980s the epicentre for this explosion was mostly in the Sunset Strip from Los Angeles, California.

	Corpse paint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corpse paint (sometimes a single word, corpsepaint) is a style of fl-and-white makeup used extensively by fl metal bands during live concerts and photo shoots.
		Particularly striking are the similarities between modern fl metal corpse paint and the ghoulish apparence of the members of the Oskorei, a legion of dead souls in Norse mythology.
		Hellhammer and King Diamond of Mercyful Fate (who used corpse paint as early as 1978 in his band Black Rose) were perhaps the first death or fl metal groups to use corpse paint in the early 1980s.

	Opinions: Future of Metal
		Metal music is currently nearing forty years of age, and has gone through a number of generations, and with the culmination of death and fl metal, has reached a musical maturity of being distinct from rock music, hardcore punk, and the other genres surrounding it.
		Metal music arose from a ferment of proto-punk and progressive elements clustered in the death of rock music as an extension of blues, itself an extension of Celtic and Germanic folk music ("country" in USA) to which was added the constant syncopated percussion favored by waltz and pop bands in beerhalls.
		Early heavy metal found a fascination with the occult, the undercover, and that which was outside of normal bourgeois or even urban poor lifestyles, including drugs, motorcycles, bar fights, Satan and a "gypsy" mode of living.

	Heavy metal music
		Heavy metal is a genre of rock music that emerged as a defined musical style in the 1970s, having its roots in hard rock bands which, between 1967 and 1974, took blues and rock to create a hybrid with a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterised by the use of highly amplified distortion.
		Whereas a painting is experienced visually, a symphony experienced audibly, a heavy metal band's "image" and the common theme that binds all their music is expressed in the artwork on the album, the set of the stage, the tone of the lyrics, in addition to the sound of the music.
		Heavy metal has a relationship with spiritual issues in both symbol and music theory, as heavy metal chords and harmonies emphasize the use of open fifths—drawing ironic parallels to harmony changes in Christian Sacred Harp singing.

	Black metal music
		A distinct feature of the early bands' image was the use of corpse paint, a special kind of fl and white make-up which emphasized their demonic appearance.
		Black metal congealed in its current form through the influence of Norwegian bands such as Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal and Emperor, who began with the earlier style and introduced elements from mainstream heavy metal, classical music and hardcore punk and popularized the style to a growing underground audience.
		Black metal enthusiasts also started to terrorize other notable "death metal" bands that were touring their country or in neighboring countries, on the basis of their lack of apparent "evilness".

	Metal
		A typical death metal band is generally identifiable by their use of heavy distortion, excessive down tuning, pummeling double bass drum and trademark growl vocals.
		Nu metal was born together with Korn in the mid 90's and to this day has become the most popular metal style.
		The reason why this is considered to be a sub-genre of metal is because the hard-rock elements are often mixed together with metal elements like doom metal melodies or death vocals.

	Heavy Metal Genres
		The more modern and commonly used definition of classic heavy metal is a reference to the sound created by metal bands when metal was at its peak of commercial success in the early to mid 80's.
		This genre of metal produced the highest number of bands, so that it's sound is now so generic to sometimes be simply labeled "Heavy Metal" (no prefix), and considered the main branch of music from which most other genres split.
		The sound is often described as a mixture of the old metal of the early 70's and the burgeoning punk sound of the late 70's.

		Death metal is one of the most brutal forms of music in existence.
		Probably the first heavy metal band ever was Black Sabbath, which inspired the phenomen of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Motorhead and a lot of other bands, most of which are now almost forgotten.
		Inspired by such prog rock bands like Rush or ELP, progressive metal appeared as a mix of prog rock, which was very popular in the 70s, and 80s heavy metal.

	Hessian.org: heavy metal music and culture
		Heavy metal also sparked a genre called 'doom metal', whose artists took Black Sabbath in particular to heart.
		Black metal has a sense of heroism; death metal is very (romantically)anti-heroic and sometimes blantantly valueless while at the same time becoming inspirational in it's brutality.
		One of the most amazing death metal albums in creation; easily tops all other releases in their catalog although "Slaughter the Soul" is the only one to avoid.

	SPACE CITY ROCK: Live -- King Diamond/Nile/The Black Dahlia Murder/Behemoth
		Clad in corpse paint, long hair, tank tops, and spiked metal shin guards, these fellows were ready to start the ruckus.
		A highlight of their performance was the bassist, who stood with one foot resting on a monitor, playing his instrument with a vicious countenance.
		Musically, the performance was one of the most talented of the night, and definitely the easiest for metal neophytes to appreciate.

		Metal forerunners such as Led Zeppelin and genre pioneers such as Black Sabbath represent the missing link between blues-based hard rock and the classic metal sound in the early '70s.
		Like hair metal's evil twin, fl metal loves its makeup, too; bands and some fans sport "corpse paint": a pallid face dominated by fl eyes and lips and sunken cheeks.
		Blending metal with goth and industrial genres to varying degrees, bands such as My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Ministry and Rammstein borrow visually from those other styles and emphasize drama in their look, often with a touch of dance floor camp.

	Reviews Of Ancients Albums and Etc. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Definitely unafraid to practice what they preach, fl metal bands have became controversial within the music industry over the past couple of years, and their scathing, extreme blend of harsh sounds and powerful lyrics is taken much more seriously than ever before.
		Sure, snickers can still be heard when bands like Ancient take the stage in corpse paint and fl hooded cloaks, but the evil power of controversy and demented originality have put these bands in the forefront of extreme music.
		One of the oldest and most innovative bands on the international Black Metal scene, Ancient never ceases to amaze with its chameleon-like ability to reshape and revitalize their sound within the confines of extreme Black Metal.

	Metal Rules!!: Interview with Stormlord
		We respect true fl metal, and surely the old masters of fl metal are strongly in our roots, but for me fl metal means an attitude, very raw music and to be anti-Christian.
		(The corpse paint) was initially worn as a tribute to the fl metal scene, but now too many people are being tricked by our look and accuse us of not being true fl metal.
		There’s also a strong extreme metal scene, but also a lot of rip-offs; the main sport for some bands seems to be to talk behind the others’ backs all the time, and this surely doesn't help the scene very much.

		Hopefully this will help to give you a nice overview of the many forms of metal, expose you to how vast and diverse metal is, and introduce you to some of the key bands that make up the metal genre.
		Obviously we won't be able to categorize all of the metal bands out there, but we've tried to include some of the ones that have made the biggest mark in their particular style of metal.
		Another trait common to fl metal bands is the on stage use of "corpse paint" which is fl and white face paint.

	No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Antestor
		(Corpse paint) Their music is like death metal played at the wrong speed, with some keyboards thrown in to add some melody.
		Certainly among Christian metal fans many were touting "The Forsaken" as "...the best christian metal release of the year and one of the best ever".
		As usual for fl metal, the vocals are of the troll-attempting-to-sound-evil variety, however for the most part I was able to make out the lyrics.

	No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Screams of Chaos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Australia's Screams of Chaos are a strange mix of industrial, death metal, fl metal and even classic metal.
		The band members alone are enough to make me wonder what this band is all about: Derasi-Vorde, drums of chaos, wears corpse paint and looks like a typical(?) fl metaller.
		As diverse as the band members and their musical tastes are, the music is just as diverse, mixing in industrial sounds and samples with a variety of heavy metal styles but including large doses of classic metal and thrash.

		Over the past couple of years its seems as though Metal bands have been raising the bar by introducing symphonic elements, choruses and even sampling the flavors from their native lands.
		There is very little downtime in their songs and the heaviness gets kicked up just a little bit more when the band is onstage.
		Finntroll is not a name that you hear too often when speaking of International metal bands, but you wouldn't know it this night at BB Kings when a nearly packed house of screaming fans came to witness the arrival of these Finnish metal upstarts.

	WREKage Reviews: Atlanta's Metal Radio
		While the trend among grindcore bands the past few years has been to incorporate heavy metal grooves into their spastic and all over the map sounds, very few bands are talented enough to be a metal band first and foremost while incorporating the complex sound shifts associated with grindcore.
		About the only problem that this album runs into is that much like other technical death metal bands, after a while the music starts to sound tiring, as if they are putting on a guitar clinic rather than focusing on blowing your ears out.
		This is one of the best metal albums to be released so far in 2004, and leaves me excited at the prospect of what kind of music these guys have left in them for the future.

	Alt.Culture.Guide CD Playlist: Tsjuder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Maybe all these fl metal guys are hiding their faces with corpse paint because they are secretly Christians by day and want to sell tons of records based on the satanic imagery but can't risk being seen at church as members of a satanic band.
		With one foot planted firmly in the necro past and one foot firmly in the new fl metal aesthetic, Tsjuder come across as no less pioneers of the still growing fl scene and payers of tribute to the old dirty grit of their Norwegian peers.
		Effective breaks and a blend of metal forms give these guys an identity of their own in a genre, like most metal metal genres, that is massively overcrowded.

		The Wretched Spawn, Cannibal Corpse's latest offering is definitely what I consider to be their best recording yet.
		Although Cannibal Corpse will never make an album greater than "The Bleeding," the best death metal album ever made, "The Wretched Spawn" is a strong contender for second-best, rivaling "Bloodthirst," "Kill," and "Butchered at Birth" for the silver medal.
		Ways to describe a typical Cannibal Corpse album: graphic artwork by artist Vincent Locke, song titles and lyrics that paint horrific images, and bludgeoning technical riffs and tempo changes.

	KNAC.COM - News - SFU's Barnes Undergoes Knee Surgery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		While Chris and the guys in SFU continue to release ever evolving Death Metal, the guys in Cannibal are just trying too hard to make up for the loss of an obvious visionary in the Death Metal genre.
		As for Six Feet Under they continue to push the envelope of Death Metal by playing music that is just as abusive as it is complex, thought provoking, and most importantly tight and clean{no slop}.
		His lyrics paint a sick and disturbing picture of human nature, that other singers try to emulate, unfortunatly for them, to emulate is to copy thus negating any attempt of creative vision,and Even if they do come up with a dark and twisted tune few others can match Chris's vocal intensity.
