 | | By now, the subsets of metal are so numerous that it’s hard to keep track of them all: death metal, pop metal, hardcore, grindcore, thrash, math metal, prog metal, art metal, and, of course, just plain old heavy metal. |
 | | It’s the variety that’s worth noting, since your casual music fan is probably only acquainted with the pop metal (Motley Crue, Cinderella, Quiet Riot) and maybe the prog metal (Rush and Yes, mostly) of the last 20 years. |
 | | The heavy metal of Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and early Metallica is largely forgotten, as are metal’s roots. |
