Exist dou perspective asupra acestui gen muzical. Una are n vedere black metal-ulca o form foarte specific de muzic i care trebuie s abordeze un anumit stil pentrua face parte din acest gen. Cealalt consider c versurile i ideologiafilozofic/politic/religioas a muzicii au o mai mare importan n definirea genuluidect "stilul".

Principalii fondatori ai black metal-ului sunt consideraiVenom (care erau o trup dethrash metal, ns au definit conceptual genul prin lansarea albumuluiBlack Metaln

1982), Mercyful Fate,Bathory, Hellhammer, Bulldozer,Celtic Frost iMayhem.Primele albume care sunau a ceea ce este astzi considerat black metal au fostnregistrrile Bathory de la mijlocul anilor '80 (n special Under the Sign of the Black

Mark).

Black metal a evoluat n forma actual (cunoscut ca al doilea val black metal, careeste mult mai puternic ancorat n teoria muzical clasic) sub influena trupelornorvegiene ca Darkthrone,Enslaved,Burzum,Mayhem, Immortal, iEmperor, careau nceput n stilul clasic, primar, introducnd apoi anumite elemente din metalulmainstream i muzica clasic, astfel populariznd tot mai mult genul n rndul uneiaudiene underground n continu cretere. Influena acestora se remarc cel mai bine

la nivelul imaginii satanice sau pgne i al versurilor anticretine sau cu tent ocult.

asemenea teme ntlnindu-se i n death metal (Deicide, Immolation) sauthrash metal (Slayer).

Sunetul chitarei este fie subire, fie gros, atingnd rar zona medie. Producie intenionat de slab calitate, ca o reacie la comercialitatea muzicii

mainstream sau alteori ca o reflexie atmosferic a strii de spirit. Acest efect

se obine tind frecvenele nalte sau joase, lsndu-le doar pe cele medii.Foarte puini dintre pionierii black metal mai fac acest lucru, deoarece slabacalitate a primelor albume era cauzat n mare parte de bugetul restrns.

Tobe rapide, agresive, deseori se folosete tehnicablast beat. Cteodat rolullor este minimalizat, ncetinirea acestora contribuind la obinerea unui sunetuscat, pustiu, de efect n special n ceea ce privete atmosfera muzical.

Folosirea ocazional a claviaturii electronice i a harpei, viorii, orgii sauansamblurilor corale, care confer muzicii o senzaie orchestral. Formaiilecare folosesc aceste tehnici sunt etichetate de regul ca aparinnd deblackmetal melodic.

Voce nalt, distorsionat, ipnd sumbru. Se folosete uneori i vocea groas,joas, specific stiluluideath metal.

Percuie precis. Atmosfer rece, ntunecat, melancolic sau tulbure.

nregistrarea de joas fidelitate e specific n mare parte din black metal. Evoluiaunora dintre vechile formaii de black metal, adevrai lideri ai genului, a adus o mareschimbare n sunetul acestora, ajungnd chiar s nu mai fie catalogai n genul care i-aconsacrat. Un exemplu ar fi Mayhem, formaie a crei carier e nrdcinat ntr-un

black metal influenat de death metal, continund cu un black "curat", n finalrevenind la death metal. De asemenea, Satyricon a debutat ca o trup de black metal,

ns la momentul de fa cnt un hibrid de muzic industrial. Noile trupeincorporeaz n sunetul clasic elemente atmosferice, date de chitara ambiental, pasajede clape, org, precum i alte instrumente.

O trstur specific este i folosirea aa numitului "corpse paint", un machiaj alb-negru special, care face purttorul s arate ca un cadavru n descompunere sau ca ovictim a ciumei. Totui, membrii formaiei Immortal se refereau la machiajul lor cavopsire a feei "n culori de rzboi".

O alt caracteristic a black metal-ului este utilizarea pseudonimelor ntunecate sausatanice, mod introdus de Venom (componena iniial i cuprindea pe Cronos,

Mantas i Abbadon). Exemplele sunt numeroase: Quorthon (Bathory), Darken(Graveland), Euronymous (Mayhem), Goat, Count Grishnackh (Burzum), Fenriz(Darkthrone), Nergal, Inferno (Behemoth), Zephyrous (Darkthrone), Frost (1349),Abbath, Demonaz, Horgh (Immortal), Iscariah, Hellhammer, Maniac, Necrobutcher,Blasphemer, Dead (Mayhem), Hoest, Ihsahn, Samoth, Faust, Trym (Emperor),

Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest) i alii.

Acest tip de voce se obine prin distorsionarea sunetelor la nivelulgtului, spre deosebire de cntatul tradiional, care nu ncurajeaz folosireaacestei tehnici. Jurnalistul Chad Bowar sesizeaz c, din cauza asemnrii salecu "urlete neinteligibile", acest stil mai este denumit i "voce Cookie monster".

Ritm abrupt, n general chitar i tobe foarte rapide i complexe. Versurile abordeaz temenihiliste, de regul folosind metafore sinistre sau

morbide pentru a ilustra concepte vaste. Focalizarea pe efemeritatea existeneii caracterul extrem al muzicii au inspirat numele genului.

This page briefly describes many of the genres and classifications of metal, as well asprovide specific band listings for these genres. This is really only a guideline, and oneman's guideline at that -- a lot of this is subject to opinion and is the source of endlessdebate among fans.

Black Metal

Black metal finds its roots in bands such as Venom and Bathory, and is oftencharacterized by an inherently evil tone and a raspy vocal style (Quorthon ofBathory may or may not be the originator of this vocal style, but once you'veheard him, many black metal vocalists will sound very similar to him, for whatthat's worth). The earlier bands focused on minimal instrumentation, asrepresented by Darkthrone, early Mayhem, and olderImmortal, while anothergroup of bands explored a more symphonic, keyboard-driven style (Emperor,Cradle Of Filth,Dimmu Borgir) and still others have migrated towards aneclectic, avant-garde direction (Arcturus, new Mayhem). Norway continues to

be the primary exporter of black metal bands, though other countries havecontributed some quality bands as well.

Christian Metal

Whereas the other genres presented here are defined by the music itself,Christian metal bands are listed as a genre based on their lyrical stance. Thus,there are Christian thrash bands (Tourniquet,Living Sacrifice), Christian

doom bands (Paramaecium), Christian progressive bands (Veni Domine), andso on. Some Christian bands are preachy to the point of being obnoxious,while others are far more subtle in their approach.Stryper, was the first bandto gain acceptance in the secular world (though just how "metal" they were issubject to debate), and then bands such asBarren Cross,Bloodgood and otherscame along, proving that real metal and spiritual lyrics could indeed coexist.

Death Metal

One of the more extreme forms of metal, death metal is basically an offshootof thrash, with less melodic riffs and a low, growly, often almost unintelligible

vocal style that at its best (or worst, depending on one's point of view) hasbeen described as "cookie monster vocals". The early nineties saw the initialrise of death metal in places such as Florida ( Death,Morbid Angel, Deicide,Obituary, and others) and Sweden (At The Gates,Entombed, and others), andremains a dominant form of extreme metal to this day.

Doom

Doom metal can be described with a single word -- slow. Ponderous, ultra-heavy riffing and (usually) melodic vocals dominate this form of metal.BlackSabbath are, of course, the fathers of metal in general, but their early work

concentrated on slow riffing and thus is the primary influence on doom metal

bands. Candlemass deserves mention for rejuvenating the genre in the eighties,and their first four albums are regarded as classics in the field.

Doomdeath

A subgenre of doom metal, doomdeath combines the slow pace of doom withthe low, growly vocal style of death metal. Three British bands,Paradise Lost,My Dying Bride, and Anathema, are generally regarded as innovators here,though of the three, only My Dying Bride still plays the doomdeath style.

Folk Metal

As the name implies, these bands introduce folk influences into their sound,often with the use of violins and sometimes flutes.Skycladmay not have beenthe first such group, and they aren't the folkiest, but they arguably were one ofthe first groups to popularize the concept.

Goth Metal

Goth metal bands derive from earlier goth rock bands such as Sisters OfMercy, with Type O Negativeone of the most well-known such bands. Forsome reason the Finns have taken to this style, with most of the bands in thegoth category hailing from that country.

Gothic Metal

Gothic metal bands tend to write songs with a slightly more orchestral feel tothem. Often the vocal style of such bands is a dead giveaway, with eitherchoirs or the so-called "beauty and the beast" style (a male, death-like vocalist

paired with a more angelic female voice) often employed. The vast majority ofbands who feature a female lead vocalist (excepting the rare female extrememetal vocalists such as Angela Gossow ofArch Enemy and Karyn Crisis ofCrisis) are usually considered gothic metal bands. Theatre Of Tragedy, in theirearly years, was a prime example of this style (though they have transformedinto quite a different style now), with bands such as Tristania and TheGathering also releasing prototypical gothic metal albums at least at some

point in their careers.

Grindcore

Grindcore bands usually focus on very short songs, each a burst of frenziednoise, yet often with surprising depth and skill in the musicianship department.It is often labelled as an offshoot or a subgenre of death metal, though itsorigins would imply otherwise.Napalm Death may or may not have inventedthe genre, but their early works are considered classics.

Grunge

The grunge boom hit in the early nineties, originating in the Pacific Northwest,bands such as Mudhoney, Green River, and others fusing raw punk with early

Sabbath heaviness. Many of the bands commonly associated with grunge arearguably not really metal at all, though a few, such asTad, clearly were heavyenough to warrant inclusion.Nirvana, of course, is the band that mostassociate with breaking the genre into the mainstream with theirNevermindrelease in 1991, though their earlierBleach album is a far more metallic beast,

and closer to the early spirit of grunge.

Hard Rock

In reality, the difference between "hard rock" and "heavy metal" is a fine line,and widely open to debate and interpretation. To these ears, hard rock reallyseems to be the more radio-friendly version, while heavy metal opts for a moresinister, darker sound. Practically every band in the so-called glam or hairgenre probably slots in hard rock, and many debate about whether such bandsare really metallic or not (the lack of glam bands on this site gives a clue as tothis author's opinion). Nonetheless, there were and are many bands not in theglam arena that are best described as hard rock, and many of them havesufficient crossover appeal to belong on a metal site.

Industrial Metal

Industrial music, in its earlier form, comprised of making music with non-musical instruments. Industrial metal takes this idea and furthers it, usually bycomplementing metal guitars with samples, external sound effects, and (often)

processed vocals. Ministryis an acknowledged pioneer in the field, and one ofits disciples, Skrew, also deserves mention as a prime influence and

soundalike for many bands in this genre. On the somewhat more mainstreamside of this genre are bands such asNine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson.

Instrumental

As the name implies, groups in this category feature no vocals. The majorityof these bands are somewhat eclectic and progressive in their approach,though there are exceptions. An all-time BNR favorite, Kong, is in thiscategory.

Metalcore

As of this writing, metalcore is the latest rage in underground metal inAmerica. These bands combine straight hardcore singing with music oftenmore aligned with thrash or melodic death (indeed, a lot of bands these daysseem to be blurring the distinction between melodic death and metalcore).

Melodic Death Metal

A second form of death metal is the so-called Gothenburg style, named for theSwedish city where innovators such asDark Tranquillity and In Flames reside.Here, the vocal style is similar but the musical style is much more melodic,

occasionally bringing to mind an Iron Maiden.

9/61

Nu-Metal

Even as the popularity of nu-metal wanes, the debate will continue amongmetal fans on whether nu-metal really is a metal genre. First popularized in themid-nineties by groups such as Kornand Deftones, nu-metal bands frequently

feature down-tuned guitars, vocals that frequently borrow from hip-hop orhardcore, and song structures that appear to have originated from thealternative hard rock scene rather than traditional metal.

N.W.O.B.H.M.

The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) signalled a rebirth inmetal popularity in England, roughly around the years of 1980 to 1984 or so.Of the hundreds of British bands who sprouted at this time (many who nevergot past a demo or a 7" record),Iron Maiden andDef Leppard are probablythe two most well-known, with others such as Saxon, Angelwitch andDiamond Head also making a major impact on the scene. Though the timeframe and nationality are the main defining components of NWOBHM, themajority of these bands also had a similar style, mixing prime 70's Brit metal(Judas Priest, Deep Purple, UFO) with the roughness of punk rock. Though it'sdifficult at best to point to a single album as a representation of the entiregenre, a good place to start might be Iron Maiden's debut album.

Power Metal

Once upon a time the term "power metal" was interchangeable with plain old

heavy metal, with perhaps an emphasis on heavier riffing. In recent times,though, the term is most often used to describe the decidedly European style ofmetal, a style dominated by double-bass drumming, anthemic choruses, andspeedy riffing. One originator of this style would have to beHelloween, whoseearly works such as Walls Of Jericho and Keeper Of The Seven Keys

proved to be blueprints for the style. Another band worth mentioning isHammerfall, as they are often regarded as the band most responsible for therevival of the genre in 1997 when they debuted with Glory To The Brave.

Progressive Metal

Initially, progressive metal bands fell into two camps, the first being bandswho incorporated quirky time signatures and atypical riffing into metal, andthe (related) second being metal bands strongly influenced by 70's progressiverock bands such as Yes, Genesis, and ELP.WatchtowerandThought Industryare two excellent examples of the first group, while Dream Theaterremainsthe most well-known of the latter group, as well as the single band most fans

point to first when referring to progressive metal. In later years, melodicprogressive metal bands have blossomed, many of them not quite astechnically oriented as the genre originally defined. Indeed, a lot of these

bands can be best described as some mixture of Dream Theater, Queensryche,and Fates Warning, which indeed places these three bands as major innovators

in the field. On the extreme end of progressive metal is technicalmetal, where

10/61

the musicianship and songwriting variance is placed at an even higherpremium. This is demonstrated by bands such as Cynic, and Spiral Architect.

Stoner Rock

Also occasionally referred to as desert rock/metal, it doesn't take a genius tofigure out what the name "stoner rock" refers to, though whether or not it's anappropriate term or not is another matter. Bands in the genre focus on 70'srock/metal influences and a psychedelic edge. The single band most oftennoted as an influence or soundalike to others in this field is unquestionablyKyuss, who in their relatively short career basically invented the genre (though

bands such as Monster Magnet and Fu Manchu deserve a mention here too).

Thrash

Thrash metal is generally characterized by a fast pace, a staccato, chunkyguitar riffing style, and aggressive vocals. Metallica's Kill 'Em All, released in1983, is arguably the first true thrash album, with healthy thrash scenessprouting in the USA (particularly the San Francisco area), Germany, andelsewhere by the late eighties. By the early nineties the genre was a bitoversaturated, and in later years fewer bands played the style, but it's still aviable style today, with veteran bands such as Overkill,Testament, andDestruction, among others, still producing quality thrash albums. Amusingly,thrash is often misspelled as "trash" by European writers.

Viking Metal

Musically, several bands in the Viking genre sound like black metal bands onthe surface, but the lyrical subject is different, and moreover there is usuallymore of a rousing, anthemic chorus element not found in black metal.Traditional Norse melodies often find their way into Viking metal songs,which can at times relate this genre to folk metal.

In this page I am going to attempt togive a short history of metal as well as tell you a little bit about myself. I was born inTrenton, NJ in March of 1967. I started listening to hard rock and what became

known as metal as early as 5 years old because of a neighbors who turned me on toAerosmith. Being born in NJ and living close to Philadelphia and New York City, Iwas in the heart of the NY metal movement in the 80's, but I am getting ahead ofmyself. Lets start from the beginning...

(Please note that this is not a complete history, it is only the history as I saw it and as

it happened in my life.)

Heavy metal derived from the loud blues-rock and psychedelia of the late '60s. For themost part, metal lost most of the blues influences and leaving the powerful, loud,guitar riffs. In the late 60's and early '70s, heavy metal began establishing itself as one

of the most commercially successful forms of aggressive rock & roll. Guitarists likeJimi Hendrix and bands like Cream, The Who, Steppenwolf, Hawkwind,Alice

Cooper, andLed Zeppelin fused heavy guitars with blues based rock 'n roll and beganto put on outrageous live performances. These bands also began to gain dedicated andloyal followers, as opposed to most of the "here to today, gone tomorrow" pop starsthat would attract instant popularity, only to lose it all within a few months.

Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)

By the mid-70's, the leaders of the new heavy metal movement were being establishedand beginning to influence a whole new school of metal fans. Bands likeBlackSabbath,Deep Purple,Thin Lizzy,Aerosmith,AC/DC, Uriah Heep,Nazareth,Angel,

andJudas Priestwere beginning to gain large audiences. Of courseKISSwould beone of the biggest bands to emerge from the 70's. Their impact on the 80's metalexplosion would be enormous; not just the music but also the gigantic, bigger thanlife, stage persona and show.

KISS (1976)

Below are some incredible albums that are usually credited with being the truebeginning of HEAVY METAL!

Led Zeppelin ('69) Deep Purple-Machine Head ('72) Black Sabbath ('70)

While these albums are usually credited with being the start of metal, they were notfor the start for me. It was actually the second wave of bands that caught my attention,mostly because this was about the time that I was old enough to start listening tomusic. I can remember listening toAerosmith's "Toy in the Attic" for the first timewhen I was in grade school. I was mesmerized and from then until today have been ahugeAerosmith fan, as well as a big metal fanatic. (Since then, I have bought every

Aerosmith album the day it was released. I actually hitch hiked to the mall to buyAerosmith's "Done With Mirrors" when I was in college.)

Aerosmith (1976)

Even in grade school I would brag to friends that I had the newAerosmithrecord. Ieven got into a playground fight because someone said thatLed Zeppelin was a better

band thanAerosmith. I can remember being mocked for listening toRush, TedNugent, Queen,Mahogany Rushetc. when the "cool" bands were Bay City Rollers,the Jackson 5 and KC & the Sunshine Band. (GAK!!!) Disco was in;Donna Summer,the Bee Gees, Saturday Night Fever were all the rage-but I was a metal addict.KISSwas probably my biggest addiction of the time, as their posters and magazine photostook up every inch of wall space I had in my bedroom. WhileKISSdid disappointthrough the late 70's/early 80's, I remained aKISSfan and still am one to this veryday.Aerosmith andKISSwere actually the first two albums that I bought. (ok,actually my parents bought them for me.)Aerosmith"Toys in the Attic" andKISS"Destroyer"

Two records that changed my life in the mid 70's:

Aerosmith-Toys in the Attic ('76) Kiss-Destroyer ('76)

The late 70's disco was all but dead and albums like Thin Lizzy's "Live & Dangerous"and Boston's "Don't Look Back" were gracing my turntable. (and of courseAerosmith's "Night in the Ruts") This is also about the time I discovered, what is nowrefered to as "true metal" or "classic heavy metal"

Through the next decades, metal adapted itself to the times and it would nevercompletely disappeared from the charts. Trends came and went, as did the trendyfollowers, but metal fans were devoted. In the early 80s, heavy metal exploded in

popularity.Judas Priest, although they had been touring and recording albums sincethe early 70's, experienced a major popularity surge in '82 with the release of"Screaming for Vengeance." It was actually this band that pulled me deeper into the

metal culture. Upon hearing the classic "Stained Class" I was convinced that JudasPriest was the ultimate heavy band. This is about the time I discovered bands likeIron Maiden, who had just released "Number of the Beast,"Accept"Restless &Wild,"Motorhead's classic "Ace of Spades,"Raven "Rock til You Drop," Saxon"Wheels of Steel," Scorpions "Lonesome Crow" and "Fly to the Rainbow." Yup, I haddiscovered the incredible NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal.) Thismovement never did gain as much popularity in the States, but was an incredibleinfluence on some of the early American Metal bands as well as some of today's

popular bands.

Judas Priest (1991)

In high school I bought, as new releases by then unknown bands,Motley Crue's "TooFast for Love" on Leather Records,Slayer's "Hell Awaits," Venom's "Black Metal,"

Metallica's "Kill 'em All," and Queensryche's debut EP. A few "local bands" werebeginning to gain some popularity as well.Anthrax, from NY released a 45 singlecalled "Soldiers of Metal"; from Long Island Twisted Sisterwere filling up the clubsand had finally signed a decent record contract;Heathen's Rage were filling localhalls and opening for some major acts. We all know what happened withAnthraxand

Twisted Sister, both went on to be huge successes.Heathen's Rage released a vinyl EPwith a killer track called "City of Hell" and finally a four song demo in 1987 beforedisappearing off the face of the earth.

Below are some of the albums I discovered in the mid 80's:

Metallica-Kill 'Em All ('83) Slayer-Show No Mercy ('84)Iron Maiden-Killer

('81)

From the glam-hair bands like Stryper,Ratt, and Cinderella, to the intense thrashbands likeMegadeth, Overkill,Metallica,Anthrax, Slayer, and Celtic Frost, to themore traditional bands likeIron Maiden,HelloweenandArmored Saintto thehardrockers likeFrehley's Cometto the incredible comeback of bands likeKiss,Deep

Purple, and especiallyAerosmith, the 80's were definitely a strong time for metallovers. What was really great about this time was that there was a unity amongmetalheads. The same metalhead that likedMotley CrueandAcceptalso liked SlayerandMotorhead.

The 80's for me was a time of many concerts. Some of the better remembered

and highly cherished from that time were:

Black Sabbath with Ian Gillan, which was an awesome experience.Quiet Riotopenedthat show.Black Sabbath was being chastized for doing "Smoke on the Water" live,

which I thought was GREAT!ELO's drummer was filling in for the ailing Bill Ward.Many thought they would do a cover ofELO's "Evil Woman" but they did not.

Aerosmith on the "Rock in a Hard Place" tour and the incredible "Back in the Saddle"show with the return of Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, both at the Spectrum in

Philadelphia.Pat Traversopened up the "R.I.A.H.P." show. He was on his "BlackPearl" tour and Ted Nugentco-headlined the "Back in the Saddle" show.

Dio andTwisted Sisterat a small theatre in downtown Philly. The very next year theyboth returned together and sold out the Spectrum. The year after thatDio did a live

video with us Philly maniacs.

Tony Lee (Heathen's Rage)

Anthrax on the "Spread It" Tour withHeathen's Rageat City Gardens in Trenton, NJ.I was also privileged to seeAnthraxat the infamous LaMore Club in NYC.

Judas Priest"Defenders" tour two times in one month-Spectrum, PA and theMeadowlands, NJ

Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force at a little club in PA. I still have the t-shirt fromthat show.

Queensryche and headlinersKISSin Philadelphia, PA and in Rochester, NY. Themetal guard rail in front of the stage broke in Philly and we were able to sit on theedge of the stage for the entireKISSshow. I got my picture in FACES Magazine. Ihave seenKISSseveral other times since then. The reunion and farwell tours have

blown me away!

TT QuickandHelstarat a little club in Rochester. AfterHelstarplayed, almosteveryone left, so we watched TT Quickwith about 20 other people, then they hung out

with us and drank some beers and played pool. Cool show! Of course, later some ofthe TT Quickguys went on to be withNuclear Assault.

Ted NugentandAlcatrazz(with Yngwie Malmsteen) at Six Flags Great Adventure.Killer show, although my girlfiiend (now my wife) got violently sick from some lacedalcohol she drank.! Also sawPetra,Molly Hatchet(on their reuion tour with Danny

Joe Brown), and Charlie Daniels at Six Flags. Not a bad seat in the place.

In the mid-'80s thru the early 90's, speed metal and thrash became the most popularform of heavy metal in the American underground. Crossing the new wave of Britishheavy metal with hardcore punk, speed metal was extremely fast and more technicallydemanding. Tthe bands played fast, but their attack was precise and clean. In thatsense, speed metal remained true to its metal roots. But what it borrowed fromhardcore; the insanely fast tempos and a defiant, do-it-yourself attitude was just as

important, and sometimes it was even more important. It gave the band not only aunique musical approach but also an attractive "anti-image" for legions fans,including myslef. Of course,Metallica became the leaders of the genre until theirrecent style changes. Other key bands wereMegadeth,Dark Angel,Exodus,Nuclear

Assault,Testament, SlayerandAnthrax. Of course, this is only a small list of some ofthe better known. There were actually hundreds of bands of this style- Vengeance

Rising,Powermad,Laaz Rockit,Flotsom & Jetsam,Hallow's Eve,Deliverance,

Sepultura,Heathen,Kreator,Coroner,Destruction,Believer,Forbidden,Forced

Entry,Mortification,Annihilatorare some others that were riding the thrash wavewhile it was hot. This raw style stood in direct conflict to the chart topping, morecommercial, and glammy bands of the 80's and early 90's (Guns n Roses,Ratt,

Poison, Stryper,Kix,Dokken, andMotley Crue, among others), Many of the bandsdeveloped a dedicated cult following that would eventually allow them to go gold andfor some, likeMegadeth,Anthrax, Guns n Rosesand especiallyMetallica, platinum+.What was so amazing about this was they they had little, if any, radio support.Unfortunately, this great art form began to fall apart and fracture into what is noweither hardcore, grindcore, or black metal. In the 1990's, the few bands who do existhave changed styles.Metallica has gone for a more "alternative" radio friendly sound,whileMegadeth have gone for a more melodic radio friendly sound.Anthraxpartedways with vocalist Joey Belladonna and their lead guitarist Dan Spitz and have stayed

pretty true to their roots, although I prefer their older music to the newer releases.

(Belladonna reunited withAnthrax in April 2005). TestamentandSlayerare stilltogether, albeit with some new faces, but are still pounding out some aggressivethrash that sometimes borders early death metal.

Metallica (1991) Megadeth (1990)

Another form of metal that came out of the 80's is Progressive Metal. Bands likeFates WarningandSavatage, that started out as more traditional heavy metal bands,as well as Queensrychehave lead the way for others.Watchtower,Dream Theatre,Veni Domine, Stratovarious,Angra,Viper, and hosts of others took the heaviness ofmetal and combined it with the progressive tendencies ofRush, Marillion,Pink

Floyd, Yes, and early Genesis and even mixed in some classical elements.

Fates Warning (1999) Savatage (1993)

There was one thing for sure, heavy metal was more than just a passing trend. Somecritics, even today, continue to dismiss metal as over simplistic, primal pounding,with annoying screams. Certainly, there is some heavy metal that is nothing but three-chord riffing, but most metal bands place major importance on technical skill. Eventhose who play the simplistic forms of metal likeAC/DC, do so with such skill andattitude, that it cannot be ignored. Metal guitarists have always been innovators intechnique, speed, and skill. In every subgenre of heavy metal, the guitar is the centerof the music. The songs are assembled around the riff, with the guitar solo taking

prominence.

The 90's also ushered in a big change in my life. While I had always been somewhat"religious" it was during this time that I met some friends at aMotorhead/Ravenconcert in Rochester, NY that changed my life. These guys were in a metal band

calledHoly Saintand they were a Christian metal band. Through this band I became aChristian. I can honestly say the knowing Jesus really changed my life. While some of

the story you are about to read has some regrets, I have never regretted myrelationship with Him. Fortunately these guys also opened up a whole new world of

Christian heavy metal to me.

Unfortunately, after graduating from college, I got involved in a church that

condemned metal. I got deeply involved along with my new wife of only a fewmonths. We conviced ourselves that "secular metal" was all evil and so we got rid ofthe, literally, thousands of albums, tapes and the beginnings of my CD collection. (I

know, I often cry myself.)

Thank God forStryper! I would have been without any music I liked if not for them.

Stryper (1990)

I began to discover that there was hundreds of Christian metal bands, ranging in stylefrom thrash to classic rock. I bought up bands likeDeliverance,Vengeance Rising,Trouble, Sacred Warrior,Believer,Seventh Angel, Sardonyx,Whitecross,Bride,

Haven,Bloodgood,Rez,Barren Cross.These bands got me through some toughtimes.

me (white shirt) on stage with Sardonyx 1992.

Below are some of the classic Christian thrash discs that still frequent my CD player:

Vengeance RisingHuman Sacrifice

DeliveranceWeapons of Our

Warfare

BelieverExtraction from Mortality

Eventually, we figured out that Christianity was not about having your life lived foryou. We left the church we were in and got involved in a well balanced church. Idiscovered that a relationship with Jesus was what was important, not a list ofman-made do's and dont's. In 1993 I joined a Christian heavy metal band myself, becomingthe vocalist forUltimatum.

A picture of a sweaty me singing for Ultimatum.

Eventually I began collecting some of my old favorites again. Once again, it wasAerosmith that brought me around. I was in my car, flipping through radio station,when I heard a block of songs off "Rocks," perhaps the greatestAerosmith disc ever.It was a lunch hour album side and they played five songs off that disc. Man, it waslike seeing an old friend again. I knew then, after enjoying those five songs, likehaving a cold Pepsi on a hot day, it was not the music I needed to change, it was me!

In the mid 90's, with the popularity of grunge, metal took a big dive in popularity.Some even went so far as to say metal was dead. This was, of course, untrue as it stillhad a huge underground following. While the magazine that we all grew to love

began to cover trendy garbage, the metalheads began to put out their own zines. The90's seemed to be a time of short lived trends. Grunge, Industrial, Alternative, Pop-Punk, Techno, Emo, and now Ska, Rapcore and Goth. Death Metal had its time in thespot light too, although never to the extent of grunge or alternative. I, honestly, am nota big death metal fan, as I feel the vocals all pretty much sound the same. That beingsaid, there are some death bands I really enjoy that play their music with a skill nothear before.Amorphis, Children of Bodom,Extol,Metanoia,Deathand a few otherall mix elements of classic metal with death metal and in turn create some beautifulmusic.

Despite the trends, metal continued to stay strong. New blood began to emerge, as

well as the reformation of such greats asExodus

,Death Angel

,Nuclear Assault

,Anthrax,Judas PriestandIron Maiden. I was even blessed with the opportunity tojoin the guys from the original Vengeance Rising as the new vocalist for their newproject called Once Dead. The 90's came and went and despite the changes in music,there a host of new, killer bands:Nevermore,Iced Earth,Mortification,Hammerfall,

Destinys End,Narnia,Extol,New Eden, Teramaze,Place of Skulls, and the list goeson and on. As you can see from my CD list, I have once again attained a largecollection of my favorites. For a more condensed list of favorites, see my favoriteslist.

The History of Heavy Metal

Throughout history, technical innovations have acted as catalysts for experimentationand development. Music is no exception, the first important technical advancementthat allowed an adaptive musical revolution was the introduction of the electric guitarin the late 1940s. The Fender Broadcaster, later renamed the Telecaster, launched in

1950, was the world's first commercially available electric guitar, with a solid woodenbody and bolt on neck. The Fender Precision Bass was launched the following year, toreplace the bulky, cumbersome and frequently barely audible acoustic double bass.

The rock 'n' roll revolution exploded on the music scene during the '50s, and thedevelopment of electric guitar technique was paralleled by this phenomenon. Duringthe late '50s, there was a growing awareness of the potential of the electric guitar. Thedistinction between rhythm and lead playing was clearly made and songs were nowconstructed to include a four or eight-bar break in the middle. A technical innovationin drumming heralded the next phase of rock music's development. In 1957, RemoBelli started supplying plastic, instead of supplying traditional calf leather skins to

drum manufacturers. Plastic skins were far more functional.

In the early '60s, bands began to capitalise on the benefits offered by recentimprovements in technology. In the U.K., four or five-piece outfits became the norm,comprising bass, rhythm and lead guitars plus optional keyboards or saxophone. TheRolling Stones, labelled as the "badboys" of the British invasion did much to initialisethe general public's negative attitude to rock music. 1967 was an important year in thedevelopment of rock music. It saw the release of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's LonelyHearts Club Band, which marked a growing acceptance of rock as an art form.Hendrix made a massive impact on the rock scene. His style became the blueprint forrock, and later heavy metal guitarists the world over. Led Zeppelin became the rolemodel for other artists to follow. The basic components of their style still representthe essential aspects of heavy metal and they probably rank as the most important
