  Heavy metal music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, mixed blues and rock to create a hybrid with a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterised by the use of highly-amplified distortion.
The most commonly used line-up for a metal band is a drummer, a bassist, a rhythm guitarist, a lead guitarist, and a singer (who may or may not be an instrumentalist).
These bands were not the preceding fusion of alternative rock and heavy metal, but a new genre derived from it, and came to be known as nu metal.

 Heavy metal umlaut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A heavy metal umlaut (or röck döts) is an umlaut over a letter in the name of a heavy metal band.
The heavy metal umlaut is never referred to by the term diaeresis in this usage, nor is it intended to affect the pronunciation of the band's name.
Hungarian fl n' roll band Korog has a gratuitous umlaut over the letter r in their name, which actually means "it rumbles" and is a verb that is used exclusively to describe the sound of a hungry person's stomach.

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.
Ultimately, "pure" heavy metal would position itself at the periphery of pop culture, never quite at centre, and metal denizens contend that the move towards the centre was a commercialism that compromised both the artistic integrity of the form and the opportunity for messages to be taken seriously.
Heavy metal is the progenitor of the "metal-family" of genres including fl metal, death metal, thrash metal and others.

 Skid Row (heavy metal band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skid Row is an American heavy metal band which became the heavy metal prototypes of the late 1980s metal scene and were reasonably successful until they were eclipsed by the Seattle grunge bands in 1991.
In what is referred to as "The Bottle Incident" by fans of the band, Bach was arrested and tried on charges of assault and battery for jumping into the crowd at a concert in Springfield, Massachusetts where Skid Row was opening for Aerosmith on December 27, 1989.
Slave to the Grind was a departure for the band; where Skid Row was an album that followed the typical hair band formula, Slave to the Grind had a heavier sound, even verging on thrash with the songs "Mudkicker" and the title track.

 Warhag - Heavy Metal Band Official Site
WARHAG belong to the category of the few bands that are able to compose classic heavy metal without sounding old and dull.
Although I mentioned all the previous bands, don’t you ever get the idea that WARHAG copy, but they also add their personal style (the use of female vocals in some songs is very positive).
The closest they come to a full out metal attack is on "Saxon's Return", a reworking of the Witchkiller 80s classic "Day of the Saxons", which boils and bubbles like the original and punches a fist in the air with bravado.

 Amazon.ca: Heavy Metal: Music: Soundtracks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
So the fact the SOUNDTRACK is called HEAVY METAL does not necessarily mean it is obligated to saturate it with the same kind of heavy tracks as the count-them-on-one-hand cuts that actually WERE featured, such as Sammy Hagar's "HEAVY METAL" and Black Sabbath's "THE MOB RULES".
So if you are looking for "real" heavy metal on this album just simply based on the name, you'll probably be disappointed.
The movie versions of Sammy Hagar's 'Heavy Metal' and Black Sabbath's 'Mob Rules' are far superior and grittier than the versions on Standing Hampton and Mob Rules albums, respectively.
