	Heavy Metal
		Heavy metal is a form of music characterized by aggressive, driving rhythms and highly amplified distorted guitars, generally with grandiose lyrics and virtuosic instrumentation.
		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.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "Heavy Metal" on DVD
		Heavy Metal was based on the "pulp" magazine of the same name, which in turn was based on a French "pulp" magazine "Metal Hurlant." The concept was similar to the old "Creepy" magazines: short, lurid science fiction and fantasy comics that were as big on sexual content as they were on classic sci fi/fantasy themes.
		Despite the heavyweight list of heavy metal bands along for the ride, the rock music is mostly relegated to the background (which is fortunate) and Elmer Bernstein's symphonic score - which is much more appropriate and successful - takes center stage.
		Heavy Metal isn't a heavyweight in Hollywood history, but it's an interesting niche that helped propel the careers of many of its participants.

		After Maiden, metal would push the limits of aggressive loudness in thrash metal, speed metal, fl metal and death metal, and return full circle through the pop vanity of the L.A. hair metal lead by Motley Crue.
		Notable is Mötley Crüe's version of "Helter Skelter" which very strongly brings to the fore the heavy metal undertones that the Beatles original song implied but failed to explore in their time.

		Although the band achieved prominence in their home country since the release of their first single, they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the album Once (2004), which spawned Nightwish video clips shown on MTV in the USA for the first time, and inclusion of their music in U.S. movie soundtracks.
		A replacement for the soprano singer has not yet been found, but the four other musicians of the band plan to find one in the course of 2006, so that a new album can be recorded at the end of 2006 and beginning of 2007, and released later that year.
		On July 20, the band revealed in the official Nightwish videblog that the demo of the sixth Nightwish album was ready to be mixed, and that the band would spread out until September.

	Heavy metal bands get softer - Bowl of Flakes
		With record labels dumping bands who don't sell records by the truck load, more and more of heavy metal groups are offering music that's easier on the ear in a bid to win mainstream radio play and targeting their harder tunes to niche TV shows.
		Newer bands are now finding they need to employ that tactic if they hope to break into the radio market, which is controlled by profit-driven corporations.
		Metal bands have been going cleaner and softer for years, read def leppard, van halen, rush, metallica, aerosmith, soilwork, in flames, etc, etc..

		Some critics and film historians have labeled 1981's HEAVY METAL as the last film to genuinely reflect the mishmash sensibilities of the post-hippy 1970s counter-culture, and stylistically and thematically this appears to be true.
		Based on the adult counter-culture cult comic of the same name, HEAVY METAL definitely is a sort of spacey concatenation of disparate visual aesthetics and heterogeneous science-fiction/fantasy narratives.
		Each individual segment of HEAVY METAL was scripted and directed independently of the others, which likely accounts for the varying aesthetic and narrative styles.
