 Metal-Rules.com - "Is image important For Metal?"
A black metal band wearing corpse paint and bullet belts, the dragons, swords and warriors on the cover of a power metal album, or photos of butchered bodies on the flyer for a band whose name sounds like a clinical autopsy term will all communicate particular messages to us about what those bands are like.
Death Metal bands tend not to sing about the love of their lives and are more inclined to write about disembowelling someone.
Metal is permeated with culturally, musically, or philosophically significant images.

 Heavy Metal Genres
The sound is often described as a mixture of the old metal of the early 70's and the burgeoning punk sound of the late 70's.
This genre of metal produced the highest number of bands, so that it's sound is now so generic to sometimes be simply labeled "Heavy Metal" (no prefix), and considered the main branch of music from which most other genres split.
The more modern and commonly used definition of classic heavy metal is a reference to the sound created by metal bands when metal was at its peak of commercial success in the early to mid 80's.

 NG BBS - Heavy Metal defined
Black Metal: Back in 1982, Venom released their second album, "Black Metal." Some see it as a way of describing the music, which was heavy metal that was "black" or "evil" in nature, while others see it was a way of defining a new breed of music.
In the 90's heavy metal basically died out and was replaced by a number of hybrid bands that combined various genres of metal with other forms of music.
Possessed is considered the first death metal band, as they released a song of the same title on their 1984 demo.

 black metal: Information From Answers.com
Black metal is a musical genre related to styles of heavy metal such as death metal.
Black metal congealed in its current form through the influence of Norwegian bands such as Darkthrone, Enslaved, Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal, and Emperor, who began with the earlier style and introduced elements from mainstream heavy metal, classical music and popularized the style to a growing underground audience.
Black metal enthusiasts also started to terrorize other notable "death metal" bands that were touring their country or in neighboring countries, on the basis of their lack of apparent "evilness".

 Epinions.com - 5000 sub-genres of Heavy-Metal
Thrash is by far the most influential sub-genre of metal started by a few bands from Bay area and LA. They took the sensibilities of NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) and fused them with the aggressiveness of Hardcore Punk.
The main characteristics of all power metal is that everything is based on melody(as defined by Iron Maiden’s music) and fantasy lyrics.
I called Black Sabbath a Doom Metal band because their lyrical themes always had a sense of impending doom.

 Corpse paint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corpse paint (sometimes a single word, corpsepaint) is a style of black -and- white makeup used extensively by black metal bands during live concerts and photo shoots as part of their imagery of evil and decay.
Despite the possible ' glam ' roots of corpse paint, the designs used by many black metal musicians are supposed to make them look more evil, inhuman, or corpse -like (ergo, the term corpse paint).
Celtic Frost were perhaps the first death metal or black metal group to use such makeup, but there are earlier precedents: The Misfits and King Diamond of Mercyful Fate used similar makeup in the early 1980's, as did KISS and Alice Cooper in the 1970's.

 Artifact Metal Zine Issue #6 Reviews
Playing thrash metal as its fastest with lyrics sung with pressing urgency, the five-man band is determined to share the music they have to offer, even if it means crushing the listener with their own barrage of riffs.
Those of you metal fiends who like your music hard and heavy, place this album on your want-lists.
IRON SAVIOR is the concept album and creation of Pat Sielck who has been behind the scenes in the music biz for a while, but shows he has a ton of musical talent in his own right.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Greg Manley
They are the godfathers of Thrash Metal and have never looked back since their debut release back in 1983.
What did Metal teach me about life: Heavy Metal aside from songs that are all about parties, cars and women has basically opened my eyes to the different views of the musicians involved in the writing of the lyrical content.
As far as Metal goes; "Arise" has to be one of the greatest Heavy Metal releases of all time.

Their commanding stage presence was witnessed by fans across the continent; blood, corpse paint and ancient weaponry as a dominating backdrop to the band’s fast and intricate music.

 The Five most IMPORTANT heavy metal albums of ALL TIME according to the SNXKE
This album took the power and storytelling of the Sab’s and gave to it a highly melodic (and METALLIC) new sound.
  90% of what was to be labeled in the future as “heavy metal” can be seen growing from this one record.
  Priest are the band who shoved the melody into the molten metal.

They balance on the edge where prog metal and prog rock meet, and have influences both from Dream Theater and King Crimson or Marillion, and such songs as "The Weight of the Wind" have a clear influence of Genesis.
There are some cool instrumental parts on the album the guitar/keyboard-led section early in "One Step Further", much of "Denied" and the short track "Naivety" are memorable standouts.
Now we have the debut album of this German band, which can prove once again that the first impression was right - Scythe present interesting and technically played symphonic prog rock.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Life & Crimes of.. [BEST OF] [BOX SET]
Since the set was released in 1999, it ends with STOLEN PRAYER from the 1994 album "The Last Temptation", meaning you won't find anything from his most recent albums "Brutal Planet" and "Dragontown", unfortunately.
More of Alice's recent work is found on the final disc, including the (heavier) song HANDS OF DEATH with Rob Zombie.
Not a whole lot of material you can find on Alice's other albums, which is why this is probably my favorite disc of the four.

Startlingly catchy-but never coming off soft, Hematovore turns even the most jaded music fans' heads--whether they're sporting corpse paint, white belts, mohawks, or nerd glasses.
Artwork by Aaron Turner (Hydra Head, Isis, Old Man Gloom), mastered by John Golden (Neurosis, Craw, Sonic Youth) and an absolutely awesome first release from new label Acerbic Noise Development.
Leaving no musical stone unturned, their imaginative instru-metal is densely packed with ideas...an encyclopedia of riffs ranging from the intricately complex to the completely anthemic.

 Phoenician Architecture, Temples,Palaces and Shrines
This stone ordinarily prevented ingress, but when a fresh corpse was to be admitted, or funeral ceremonies were to be performed in one of the chambers, it could be "rolled"[79] or dragged away.
The monuments on the Acropolis of Athens would be impossible with blocks of the size usual in the Eastern Mediterranean."[85] Thus there is always something heavy, rude, and coarse in the Phoenician buildings, which betray their troglodyte origin by an over-massive and unfinished appearance.
In the interior, which received no light except from the wide doorways in the walls, an immovable and silent crowd of figures in stone, with features and garments made more striking by the employment of paint, surrounded, as with a perpetual worship, the mystic cone.

He plugged in and played an instrumental metal jam, firing staccato guitar lines into the crowd, rotating his body and nodding his grinning, leering skull face as he did it.
The drum machine was too loud, the guitar was barely audible, all the lights were on.
He writes simple, direct songs that incorporate imagery from comic books, half-remembered childhood nightmares, a mishmash of the world's religions, and most important, heavy metal.

PART4 Answers to Frequently Asked Questions The only thing I can remember that has been asked for multiple times, besides the File itself, are the lyrics for "Suicide Is Painless" (the theme from M*A*S*H).
This, of course, is for those of you who enjoy extreme pain and don't want to make a mess for others to clean up.
