Metal

In this blog post I'd like to share a little bit of the genre of music that I like. Metal for sure!

The reason why I'd choose to talk about this music is because I chose this genre of music since I was about nine years old and never thought of changing to a different genre. Stick with and stay METAL!

When I say metal I'm basically talking about a very general definition of the entire culture. Metal divides into more than one sub genre which never makes me bored of it. When people hear metal they always think of Heavy Metal and that's because this the first genre of metal that started in the 80's. The truth is that there are actually uncountable sub genres of metal and some of them are; Power Metal, Thrash Metal, Symphonic Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Progressive Metal. Maybe not a lot of us heard of that and thats because this type of music focuses on being non-mainstream for the sake of metal heads. Metal heads don't want their music to be shared with the media and most of them listen to only metal. 

Here are some bands that I really like;

The most common thing all metal heads do no matter what genre they like better is obviously head banging. They head bang because this pretty much the mood of this music because the instruments played and lyrics sang isn't something you would wanna dance for. The basic instruments metal music uses are; electric guitar, bass guitar, drums. It also depends on the genre and the band to have a different or additional instruments. some bands use the electric keyboard, violin, grand piano, etc.
