Hey people...it's ur friendly neighbourhood Beast again!! This time I wanna talk about somehtin very very dear to me!!------METAL!!
The most underrated genre of music...the most hated by "adults" and the only solace for "teenagers". Well to me...it is the next best thing to death! I absolutely love it for everything it is....the power, the talent, the emotion!!
Most people consider metal to just be "Noise" but only to true metalheads is it much more that a mere noise! It is the beautiul wordings that is put between heavy distortions, beautiful guitar solos and amazing drum rolls and fills!
Unknown to many, metal has its roots in classical theatre. The backbone of metal is the heavy distortion and bass! Composers who wanted to make their music a bit more dark and gothic in a way created bass cellos that required two people ot play them!! This added to the acoustic setting o the opera theatre gave a real dark feel to their music. It form music like this that the great Black Sabbath began making music and are considered to be the "the very first metal band". An from then on it was direct rise in popularity with increasing level of skill on the guitar and drums and the introduction of distortion. Then came the genre of power meal where there where "two" and not one lead guitarists making the sounds faster and heavier. This was mostly promoted by bands like Judas Priests, Dio and Iron Maiden! And it is fromt hese roots that we have come to hear bands like Motley Crue, Metallica, Emperor, Gorogoroth, Opeth and so on and so forth.
That was History of Metal 101!! Now I'll tell you what made me embrace this demon!
