Styles metal.

Today in heavy music, there are many different styles and trends ...

Heavy Metal-In fact, the very "heavy metal" is just a subsection of the metal lines. Its not easy to distinguish from its closest relatives Speed ​​and Thrash Metal. Apparently, it is remarkable that in no way remarkable, and to this section include groups that are not very well meet the criteria of the two sections are analyzed below, but, nevertheless, similar to nimi.Iz groups belonging to this style can be called a Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

Speed ​​Metal - The style is characterized by a high speed performance and frequent guitar solo. This style is the most demanding technique. The most famous group - Helloween, Gamma Ray.

Thrash Metal - The speed of execution is similar to Speed ​​Metal, but it tends to be more jerky sound (staccato). Examples - the cult in Russia, Metallica, early Blind Guardian, and Megadeth, Testament, and the like.

Black Metal - Looks like Speed ​​and Thrash, but the guitars purposely blurred that ozdaet "buzzing" sound. In addition, always with brutal vocals (growling) vocals.

If you Grindcore-to be precise, it is not metal at all, but ekstpemalny punk. Are valid, it is heavier and gipeptpofipovanno ubystpenny gitapny hapdkop with pevuschim vocals and crazy rhythms. Quickly to myzyka, kopotkie songs, wild rhythms, pevyschy vocals. The Founding Fathers - Napalm Death, also made a special contribution to Extreme Noise Terror, Carcass (Early), Brutal Truth, Exit 13, Bolt Thrower. For more info about these distinct groups and their diskogpafiyah should smotpet to grind / noise-CORE list and Deathgrind Metal List.

Vicing metal-Unique of its features - pomposity and bombast, high myzykalnost, ppisutstvie Folk-napodnyh chants and songs staponopvezhskom language (but this is optional :) So the same theme song is not clear antihpistianskuyu The direction and describes staponopvezhsky epic. Haibolee known agents from the Viking-metal: Well, naturally I mentioned Bettopi. Then there are the two Enslaved albums ppekpasnymi Frost (94) & Eld (97). Thus, it is worth noting the new Menhir of groups with the debut of '97, and Helheim (96). Further there are also intepesno team - Falkenbach (96 & 97) Einherjer (All disks). Yet it may be noted genesis of yet another style - Barbarian Metal, but still excepting one team igpayuschey in this style, I do I can not add. Although Bal-Sagoth otllichnaya team, if not remarkable.

Power Metal-is oblegchenny, ppichesanny, ydobpenny tunes kpasivymi gitapnymi solos and usually high-pitched (high and clear voice) singer interchangeable version Speed ​​Metal.Viptyoznaya data obtained gitapistov (often gpyppe two-lidep gitapista). Most teams in their evolution ppotsesse departed from the canonical Speed ​​Metal and started igpat Power. Agents from Yapkie-Helloween "Keeper ... P.1", "Keeper ... P.2", Scanner, Gamma Ray, and t.d.Ppivilegiyu in this style are the German team. Hy, and of course nyzhno ypomyanyt father mastermind of the German speed / power metal Kai Hansen (ex-Helloween [guitar, vocals], Gamma Ray [guitar, vocals]).

Doom Metal-usually a slow, mournful and mrachnyy.Chasto with brutal vocals. Characterized by the significant role of keyboards and some other more exotic metal instruments, violins, flutes and t.p.Gruppy-My Dying Bride, Tiamat.El-ementy Doom Metal is also in the Black Sabbath albums of the early period and the second half of the '90s.

Death Metal-even faster and more severe than Thrash and Speed, vocals, typically brutalnyy.Stil is the most difficult for the unprepared listener and less melodic. As an example of Death and Edge of Sanity

Glam metal (glam-metal)-a type of metal, representing his poporientirovannoe krylo.Poyavlenie glam-metal refers to the first half of the '80s ....

Slassic Doom Metal-only neagpessivny, nebpytalny, nebystpy style metal myzyki.Eto slow deppessivnaya, mpachnaya myzyka, which was then called the metal pozhalyy just because SOME mortgaged tyazhesti.Pepvoppohodtsami dyma be considered as pure as the band Candlemass and St.Vitus, and the inspiration- Black Sabbath and, again, Celtic Frost. However, in its pure form is now dropped into this myzyky ppakticheski no igpaet, in contrast to the Death-Doom'a. Also from the derivates syschestvyet style of merging black and doom metal - it's called dark metal. You can call such bandykak Katatonia, Alastis, Bethlehem, Rotting Christ, Samael.

Progressive - Perhaps the most interesting trend in the metal. His counterpart in non-metallic rock is a rock-art-rock with complex structures, a lot of melodic and rhythmic decisions, calling the analogy with the classics, and often is a direct potomkom.Progressive different from the art-rock, more emphasis on rhythm, and, naturally, metallic sound. Groups of this genre use a wide range of instrumentov.Klavishnye, unlike Doom, used for solos, not just to create the background. A more rich sound violin, and sometimes even used a symphony orchestra and choir. Sample-Queensryche, Late Savatage, Dream Theater, Angra, Therion, some of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.

Gothic Metal-can be regarded as a special case of a mixture of Doom and Progressive. Analogy can be traced to the medieval muzykoy.Krayne pessimistic, sad mood. The most famous and probably the best team - Lacrimosa.

This is the main direction of the so-called "pure" metal. However, you can often find something like metal, but they are not being, such as these:

Metallized Hard Rock (Hard'n'Heavy)-is much softer than Heavy Metal, at least technically, with much more emphasis on rhythm. Paradoxically, often vyglyaddichnym than his older brothers of metal, particularly unprepared for a slushateit meloley. Examples - Accept, AC / DC, ZZ Top, Scorpions. (Hard Rock - music for a song with a distinct direction of rhythm. Characteristic features: the mandatory presence of the bass and drums made at pervyyplan and riff (t.e.mnogokratno performing the same piece of music) guitar. Group - Cream , Jimi Hendrix).

Metallized Glam Rock - Similar to the previous style, but more teatralizovan.I although groups such as Black Sabbath and King Diamond are also included in their concerts are the elements of theater, it is Glam Rock Metal obliged emergence of the myth of terrible behavior of the metal on the stsene.Ochen borrowed a lot from this direction Alice Cooper, for example, performed with a boa around his neck, poured the blood of this people and all t.p.Takzhe izvestfanatov and liked to use in their submissions, attributes such as the skull, black mask, or rather "war paint" artists Kiss. However, these groups can be called only metal with a huge stretch. Glam Rock-rock with more emphasis on the show than the music. Most of their primitive musical soderzhaniyu.Primer? group Smokie. However, there are pearls of his great original band Queen, David Bowie, as well as the album Alice Cooper "Welcome to my Nightmare").

Soft Metal - pure profanity. Use only metal paraphernalia, really well executed grandiose ballad-oriented Hard Rock. A striking example is the flow of Def Leppard and Europe.

"Okolometallicheskie" manifestations - often non-metallic in the whole group in their repertoire include songs, not just the metal to form, but even with a "metal" mood. This is common for groups of King Crimson, Uriah Heep, early Queen and many others.

Sometimes taking the metal to metal styles have little resemblance. The most common are:

Punk - The style that is building in the principle of an inability to play and putting in front of the only goal is to challenge society. Example - Sex Pistols.

Grunge-What-is similar to Punk and Black Metal, but usually this style of play better than punk, but worse than blekmetalicheskie. Guitar solos are not very technical and unconvincing. Examples - Nirvana, Soundgarden.

Alternative - Commercial form of Punk. More "smooth" and more bombastic.
