Metal

Metal is the hard stuff!
Metal has a way of going up your asshole and busting you up inside. hence the often repeated term: Metal up your Ass, as donned by Tare of Overhead fame. Metal has a history of bats and blood and bats blood. Metal is considered hard as a physical element so it was easy to label the stylings of early adopters such as black sabbath, uriah heep, deep purple etc. as metal, for it was truly a dense substanse this metal.

Metal is back

Metal never went away though. at least not here in Finland. the way it allows for the dispursal of negativity is legendary especially as the winters grow dark and long and snowless. metal can bring a nice touch of summer happiness to your psyche. Metal is happy music , like scooter and other big bands of this genre. this is irony if you havent noticed by the way.

Mainstream metal

Metal became the commercial success it is today through many stages of dilution and monetary infusions. one might argue that the eventual downfall of metal began when lordi won the eurovision song contest in 2006 with a metal song in the style of kiss. sad as it may be, it will surely be marked as the moment hevay metal became just metal and soon, just rock in general as the hallmarks of metal permeate through the genres and the traditional meaning of metal is lost into a million pieces. The multiverse of metal genres is testament to the diversification process in which all metal must die. die metal die!
