	Encyclopedia: Heavy metal music
		Heavy metal is a form of music characterised 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.

	Stoner metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are also very close similarities to doom metal, but most aficionados consider the two genres distinct.
		The genre name is derived from the notion that the artists and audience for this kind of music are stoners (frequent users of marijuana) although the term is more in reference to the style of the music itself rather than the non-musical hobbies of band members and fans.
		Stoner metal is best known by its commonly stripped down production, use of psychedelic guitar effects, and deep 70's rock influence from groups like Black Sabbath.

		If the large submerged float is made of very nearly the same density as water, then it is liable to be thrown upwards by very slight eddies in the water, and it does not maintain its position at the depth at which it is intended to float.
		On the other hand, if the large float is made sensibly heavier than water, the indicating or surface float must be made rather large, and then it to scme extent influences the motion of the submerged float.
		A wooden rod, with a metal cap at the bottom in which shot can be placed, answers better than anything else, and sometimes the wooden rod is made in lengths, which can be screwed together so as to suit streams of different depths.

		It's a vision that new producer Rob Caggiono (Cradle Of Filth) was able to bring to light with his emphasis on eliciting top-notch performances.
		Heavy metal, sweat-soaked hardcore and punk rock have all enjoyed plenty of contributions from Europe and coastal North America: areas that have produced genre-defining bands, to be sure, but have alternately been burdened by an even larger glut of cannibalizing copycats taking their cues from each other rather than true life experience and inspiration.
		The town where the American Indian population ended the infamous "Trail Of Tears" in 1836 is desolate, isolating, and of little comfort to the artistically inclined.

		American bands with roots in Americana such as the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead experimented with long-form jams in the late 60s/early 70s, stretching the boundaries of these styles by incorporating jazz and psychedelia.
		While metal has evolved from its late 60s origins into a wide variety of forms, the genre known as "stoner" rock, one term for a riff worship inspired closely by Black Sabbath, goes back to the 70s and recreates the vibes, often with long droning jams based on heavy guitar/bass riffs and psychedelic moods.
		New Age - The resurgence of electronic music in the 80s was partly due to its inclusion in the vastly expansionist, catch-all genre of new age (or, later, contemporary instrumental), not to mention the retroactive classification of 70s music under the same moniker.

	Ink 19 :: The New Wave of European Heavy Metal
		Perhaps this latest wave of European bands, which continues the pioneering traditions of early metal bands, is a reaction to the Hollywood excesses of the '80s hair metal scene, not to mention a continuation of the underground spirit of that same decade.
		In the 90’s, the new breed of fl metallers have chosen to go to folk and classical music for inspiration, many choosing to add in keyboards and strange chants to offset their overriding atonality.
		This manic entourage spearhead the controversial Norwegian fl metal scene, which is known not only for their Satanic beliefs but the fact that members of various bands (including every original member of Emperor) have been incarcerated for crimes including assault, church burning, and murder.

		And new vocalist Howard Jones not only unleashes a testosterone-soaked battle growl but has a majestic, inspirational singing voice as well.

		This track ends the first half of the album, which is undoubtedly one of the strongest opening halves in contemporary metal.
		The comparisons to “O.D.H.G.A.B.F.E.” the closer of “New American Gospel,” are impossible to ignore.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Chimaira (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Self-proclaimed leaders of the "new wave of American heavy metal", Chimaira was formed in Cleveland in 1998, recording the indie This Present Darkness album in 2000 before earning a contract with Roadrunner Records for their next two releases.
		The band's style might be described as aggro, post-thrash metalcore, with one somewhat similar band (not a direct soundalike, but a comparable band) being Lamb Of God.
		Their latest, The Impossibility Of Reason isn't a particularly unique record, but it's very heavy and it's done right, with thick, crunchy guitars, excellent double-bass drumming, a stellar production, and vocals, though a tad one-dimensional, that are venomous and up to the task.

		In ancient Greek mythology, the Chimaira is a monster that has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon.
		Guitars are mind numbing with their constant interchanging of blistering parts between guitarists Jason and Rob, heavy down tuned riffs that share a structure with hardcore meeting perhaps the riff textbook written by Slayer minus the unbearable solos are the order of the day and this pair serves them up well.

		New fans, upon hearing the band’s name, are apt to respond with “Ultra Bridge?” Others, especially the ones who crucified Creed for being a Christian band—which, of course, it was not—think it’s “Altar Bridge.” And then there are the ones who don’t even know that Creed broke up.
		But when you’re a new band, like us, and you’re not drawing financially, like you were before, that support isn’t there as much, which makes it much harder.”
		But in order to move forward and fully enjoy their new environment, they know they must bury the specter once and for all.

	Chimaira - MusicRemedy.com, Brings Music to Life
		With its blood-boiling new album The Impossibility Of Reason, Chimaira is postured to set a new standard: The New Wave Of American Heavy Metal.
		Since metal is often associated with fl, Chimaira bucked the trend and drenched the artwork in blinding, stark, Kubrick-esque style tones, in an effort to let the music scream for itself.
		The Impossibility of Reason draws from many seemingly opposite points both within and outside of the metal genre to create a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

		Killswitch Engage prove craftier than we presumed, for a veritable and articulate mish-mash of metal might, hardcore bluster and euphonic melody that it being, The End Of Heartache is accessible to a large cross-sectional collective without inviting a sneer or three from the highbrow, Mtv-hating brigade.
		Sharon Osbourne hammered the final nails into nu-metal's coffin in February when she unveiled the line-up of her hubby's annual Ozzfest tour: gone were the therapy couch-rock regulars, their slots taken by a hungry, heavy new breed.

		If there is one band that possesses the essential elements necessary to break big in the heavy metal scene, it's Cleveland's Chimaira.
		As any metal historian/critic/fan is well aware of, the 80s saw the invasion of British metal acts, Iron Maiden and Venom among them, deemed the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" or "NWOBHM".
		Chimaira will be leading the charge of NWOAHM on domestic shores with The Impossibility Of Reason, an album that is 100% trend free.

		They have a nice mix of heavy thrash metal guitar riffs, pounding hardcore drums and death metal style vocals but they never do the death metal topics.
		Some people have called them metalcore and death metal but they actually have their own genre called thrashcore.
		If you thought System Of A Down, ICP (whoever calls their guitars heavy needs to wake up) and some other poser bands were heavy, you'll reconsider with this one.

		Probably the fastest rising band to come out of the "New Wave of American Heavy Metal" heap, and they've got my vote for the best new metal band to be born in the new millennium.
		Adler's persistent double bass drumming (which is usually a death metal blast beat or machine gun attack) and Blythe's Cookie Monster vocals make Lamb of God stand out from other "New Wave of Metal" bands.
		This is the way metal is supposed to sound(and the direction Metallica should have taken for the last 10 or so years).

		As it is, we should be thankful for both the release and the clever marketing, because it has pretty much introduced us to an absolute plethora of some of the best metal to have come out from those shores since the glory days of the 80s, including this lot.
		Unearth don't quite have the range and atmospherics built into their music to rank them up as true classics just yet, but new album "The Oncoming Storm" could well change that, and looks set to be the album that Killswitch Engage should have made.

		One of those American bands was ANVIL CHORUS, who released several demo's and one very sought after single ("Blondes In Black") before splitting up.
		Now second guitarist Thaen Rasmussen is back with his new band BLACK SUN and this is their first 4-track EP.
		The first two songs "Snap Into Action" and "Never Over" are prime examples of that typical American metal sound of the 80's.

		The fact is this new metal isn’t actually that new, and I personally can’t help but notice the huge similarities in a lot of these bands’ albums, from Unearth to Chimaira to Killswitch to Shadows fall.
		With Shadows Fall new offering THE WAR WITHIN you are almost lulled into a false sense of security as the acoustic intro of The Light That Blinds soothes your ears.
		Yes, the new record is better produced, and features some very clever melodies, but it’s strange the way Brian Fair sings on melodic parts, like the chorus to What Drives The Weak, and it’s as if you’ve just put a new CD in the player.

		This album is worth checking out if you are a fan of the New American Wave of Heavy Metal.
