在本文开始之前我们先来看一下死亡金属这种音乐的表征:
   
   1.这些乐队的演奏极其朴实,不象普通重金属乐队,在乐器上加许多效果器,或是用点弦、大小泛音等花哨指法。然而他们的音乐一听就是“金属”味,噪而重,从乐器到主唱的噪音都有噪音成分,而且配合巧妙,有种出人意料的效果,并将“金属乐”这个概念表达得淋漓尽致。
   
   2.这些乐队很突出的一点就是鼓的节奏异常惊人,他们采用双面双槌脚鼓,双脚轮踩,其速度之快难以言表。第二是铙(CYMBOL)的运用,比一般的乐队快而频繁的多,声音刺耳。第三是鼓的运用似乎代替了普通金属中的吉他独奏,占比重很大。
   
   3.主唱的噪音基本上用“吼”(低)和“嚎”(高)两种,而且大部分主唱用真嗓,而非靠麦克风或录音技术做出来的。
   
   4.反宗教意识非常明显,从乐队名到歌名,大量涉及宗教名词,晦涩难懂。内容多涉及死亡、虐待、精神错乱、人格分裂、道德危机等等。总体上反映人类社会的阴暗面,所以这种音乐本身也显得黑暗、丑陋,就象死尸散发着恶臭一样。
   
   5.封面设计充满血淋淋的人体残片,或是人的肌肉神经解剖图,或是被钉在狮子架上的死人,或是恐怖电影中的恶魔形象,一看就让人不自在。
   
   6.每个专辑都象流水一样,没有任何停顿喘气的机会,鼓手自始至终快速击打,贝司和吉他发出巨大刺耳的爆炸声,主唱的高低兽吼都让人感到无法忍受,这是对人类听觉系统的巨大考验(摧残),当你摘下耳机时,会有一种如释重负的轻松感。
   
   7.没有性和毒品的成分。
   
   “死亡金属”是一代人忧虑怒吼,表明了青少年们有些不对劲。不管你父母怎么讨厌它,这是进入金属暴力世界的最后一班火车。METALLICA乐队同死亡金属乐队相比,他们只是大型现场演出的上帝和流行歌星;SLAYER遇上比他更具虐待狂性质的同名乐队更算不上什么...当你听过死亡金属之后,你回感到世界上所有其他的音乐都是轻音乐。
   六、七年前,重金属的商业化似乎注定要成为一种无思想、无方向的音乐,但是最近这几年,一些受朋克影响、突破速度极限的乐队(如METALLICA),成功地将说唱、疯克的重金属熔于一炉的 Faith No More 以及善于制造混乱的一群无赖 GUNS &ROSES 的出现成了摇滚舞台上的一种新实验。但是,Grindcore的出现改变了过去“死亡金属”的界限。 朋克音乐、核心音乐和“激流金属”是通向“死亡金属”天国的路标。“死亡金属”是一种极端得无法让人严肃对待的音乐。这是一种贱民演奏给贱民听的贱民音乐。它不仅用噪音、先锋古典音乐、爵士乐和噪音拼命地刮你已起茧的鼓膜,还用放大器把它们放大,用一种绞肉机般的力量怒吼出来。极端的时代导致极端的力量,它把侵略和精神错乱的概念用阴森的曲调吼出来,这是里根/布什时代“无望政策”的音轨和基督徒前千福年的幻觉。
   这是一种在音乐途径上对敌意和觉悟充满阴影的追寻轨迹。“忧郁心境”(BLUE CHEER)、“黑色安息日”、“雷蒙斯”、“性手枪”、“摩托迷”(MOTORHEAD)和“黑旗”(BLACK FLAG)均为其向导。
   
   这场革命最早是由一些先锋而又有暴力倾向的乐队开始的。“毒汁”乐队---英国“新浪潮重金属”的旁系私生子。在1981年的“欢迎下地狱”(WELCOME TO HELL)和1982年的《黑色金属》(BLACK Metal)专辑中,建立起这种极端不协调的噪音、龌龊、陈腐的金属和声和充满火药味的陈词滥调。就如“黑色金属”(BLACK Metal)唱的那样:“我们畅饮圣徒的呕吐物,与垂死的娼妓寻欢,我们吸吮野兽的血,拥有地狱之门的钥匙。”“没有任何原因,这就是为什么‘毒汁’要组建。”康拉德.兰特(CONRAD LANT)这位曾经是“毒汁”的贝司手兼主唱现已组建自己的“克洛诺斯神”(CRONOS)的乐手如是说:“我年轻时是个朋克,专听‘性手枪’、GBH和沙姆69(SHAME 69),那是我生命中最暴力的时期,剃光头,吸毒什么都干。当英国重金属的新浪潮开始时,我开始蓄发,但一段时期后,我发现这完全是一堆垃圾,我指的是‘铁女’(IRON MAIDEN)、‘撒克逊人’(SAXON)、‘萨普森’(SAMPSON)等乐队。我觉得该剃掉头发,重新变成朋克。‘毒汁’想做的就是让朋克重新回到乐坛,所以我们把极端的音乐、所有的陈词滥调、大型演唱会、皮夹克等等仍进了一个大熔炉,滴出来的就是‘毒汁’”。
   这种强烈的嗜血欲启发了瑞士噪音噩梦者“地狱之锤”(HELLHEMMER)乐队的领队汤姆.G.沃里奥尔(TOM G.WARRIOR)(当时被人称为恶魔屠夫)组建了“冷酷的凯尔特人”(CELTIC FROST),该乐队1985年的《TO MEGA-THERION》可能是最早的先锋金属专辑,其中运用了大量急速刺耳的伸缩喇叭奏出的邪恶的金属和声。让我们看看“毒汁”都浸透到了什么地方:在德国,有“摧毁”(DESTRUCTION)、“铁天使”(IRON ANGEL)、“所多玛城”(SODOM:因邪恶而被上帝毁去的城市)和“创造者”(KREATOR);在洛杉矶有早期的“金属”、Megadeath、“黑暗天使”(DARK ANGEL)和“杀手”;在巴西有以速度著称的“埋葬”(Sepultura);在芝加哥有“主人”(MASTER);在魁北克的Voivod乐队创造出一种近似荒芜星球的声响;在旧金山海湾地区有“出走”(EXODUS)和“着魔”(POSSESSED)。每一种新嗓音,就音乐而言,都比他的前任更显极端---从POWER METAL到THRASH METAL到BLACK METAL到DEATH METAL。
   
   离伯明翰两个小时路程的诺丁汉,是GRINDCORE的摇篮,“耳痛”唱片公司---?懦霾?劳鼋鹗舻某???揪蜕柙谡饫铩8霉?居涤写蟛糠钟杏跋斓募?酥饕逭撸?绶鹇蘩锎锏摹八劳銎?偷?保∟APALM DEATH)、“恐怖天使”(MORBID ANGEL)、利物浦的“尸体”(CARCASS)、瑞典的“埋葬”(ENTOMBER)、考文垂的“黑色安息日”的效仿者“大教堂”(CATHEDRAL)、工业噪音式的死亡金属“上帝之躯”(GODFLESH)和无数冠以GRINDCORE名称的乐队。“耳痛”唱片公司的老板迪各比.皮尔森及其属下乐队成功地制作和发行了给主流摇滚“极大震惊”的过于野蛮的音乐。如“恐怖天使”1989年的《疯狂祭坛》(ALTARS OF MADNESS)、“尸体”乐队1991年的《NECROTISM??DESCANTING THE INSALUBRIOUS》、“埋葬”的《暗中的恐惧》(CLANDESTINE)、“大教堂”的《GOD OF GRIND EP》、“上帝之躯”的《街头清除不良分子》(STREET--CLEANER)等等,无疑是该公司极端经典之作,“死亡歌迷”必宠之物。其公司的名字用意很明显,GRINDCORE十足的耳痛音乐,如果你觉得这种音乐吵的话,那只能说明你太老了。当这种让人感觉自己年轻的音乐引起越来越多的人狂热喜欢时,这表明许多乐迷对一天24小时,一周7天不停播放的标准摇滚乐,如AC/DC、“枪炮与玫瑰”最新的作品已感到厌倦,他们希望听到更符合他们想法和感觉的音乐,GRINDCORE无疑是最好的选择。
   对GRINDCORE这一名称的命名并加以系统阐述的是“死亡汽油弹”的最初成员沙恩.安伯里(SHANE EMBURY)。“GRINDCORE现在已被承认是‘急流金属’的延伸,与此同时,我也一直认为这种音乐会变得流行起来,会影响到许多人,而且他对我来说是种离奇的美。就在这种声响开始起,我们就完全进入了来自波士顿的“冷酷的凯尔特人”、“围攻”(SIEGE)等核心乐队、一些核心和‘死亡金属’乐队和一些象早期‘天鹅’(SWAN)这样的工业噪音乐队,所以,我们可以给这些事编一个大网,至少每小时可以编100英里。”GRINDCORE综合了THRASH METAL、核心音乐和工业噪音的基本成分,GRIND一词来源于看乐队演出时常用的一句话:“THAT GRINDS!”(真折磨人)。除了速度因素,GRINDCORE与美国的核心乐队,如“围攻”“冲击单元”(IMPACT UNIT)或“深创”(DEEP WOUND)的音乐并无多大区别。“死亡汽油弹”从早期“死亡金属”中受到一定影响,并运用了早期纽约噪音乐队“天鹅”的一些观点,两者结合起来就是GRINDCORE,但这个词究竟如何解释,谁也说不清楚。
   “死亡汽油弹”乐队1982年成立,是当时许多“极度”(CRASS)乐队的模仿者之一。它是反对撒切尔政府的朋克雄辩家。1986年,“死亡汽油弹”推出第一张专辑《人渣》(SCUM),是一部暴烈的二十几首由30秒一首歌组成的超音速冲击波,最典型的例子是3秒钟长的“你受罪”(YOU SUFFER!),大音量噪音??然后主唱李.多利安(LEE DORRIAN)大吼一声“YOU SUFFER!”结束。强烈的加速度金属和声,使这张专辑获得了一致的好评,并取得了十分有影响力的销量,迅速获得了“世界上演奏速度最快的乐队”的名声。“耳痛”(EARACHE)唱片公司(一个专门出版“死亡金属”唱片的公司)的领头人迪格比.皮尔森说:“这张专辑出来的绝对是时候,核心音乐依旧强大,但在这类乐队的音乐中加入了真正的开了刃的重金属乐还是第一次。其速度已完全超过了人们多能接受的程度---这就是‘死亡金属’的特质所在。他们仅仅把核心音乐和金属乐放进了一个加速器,没有人能相信它的结果会是这个样子。最基本的,一些唱片公司在“汽油弹”的最初笼罩下诞生,‘汽油弹’的成员出出进进,‘上帝之躯’、‘尸体’等都有‘汽油弹’的成员 ,‘汽油弹’是整个这类唱片公司的中心。”
   对于那首3秒钟的“你受罪”,贝司手沙恩.安伯里说:“这是帮助我们面对生活方面问题的一种奇特事物。”他是在该乐队呆得时间最长的成员(1987年入队),“我不想成为早上9点上班,晚5点下班,一周工作6天的普通人,我需要发泄自己的能量,音乐能帮助我。”“死亡汽油弹”的成员不固定,现在的阵容是美国吉他手杰西.平塔多(JESSE PINTADO)、米奇.哈里斯(MITCH HARRIS)、鼓手丹尼.赫雷拉(DANNY HERRERA)、贝司手沙恩.安伯里和主唱巴内.格里格维(BARNEY GREENAWAY)。但这个阵容明天可能又是另一个样子。他们的歌比以前稍长了点(也就3、4分钟),但简洁的风格依然贯穿于各张专辑,直至其专辑《流放乌托邦》(UTOPIA BANISHED)。“死亡汽油弹”的大部分成员来自英国工业重镇伯明翰,它是英国噪音的摇篮,“黑色安息日”就是在这里的酒吧崛起。
   
   与此同时,80年代初的佛罗里达那块长满棕榈树的荒凉之地。突然成为汽车代理商、快餐店、超级市场和一些有钱的白痴趋之若骛的地方。尘世与音乐密不可分,佛罗里达在这几年里爆发出比正常比例多得多的恐怖噪音,原因是佛罗里达是众所周知的老人州,是度假和有钱阔佬养老的去处,所以他们想唱唱这些行将就木的活死尸,而且炙热的天气也使音乐里充满热量。这是一种新型的中产阶级朋克摇滚,一种在核心音乐之后产生的新挑战!“朋克摇滚仍有市场。”纽约的 BRUTAL TRUTH 主唱 KEVIN SHARP 说。他是《金属狂》和《陈述》杂志的记者。“死亡金属与朋克之间有许多共同基础,许多相同的愤怒情绪。”“恐怖天使”的大卫.文森特赞同这种说法:“这是同样的挑战,只是死亡金属在音乐上更胜一筹---就象当年‘黑色安息日’一样。”
   你无法指摘当时只有15岁,现在24岁的 CHUCK SCHULDINER ,这位无可争辩的“死亡金属”之父需要制造一点噪音,或者说原始叫喊疗法。在佛罗里达的金属乐队SAVATAGE、NASTY SAVAGEA 的影响下,舒尔迪那综合了前“死亡金属”乐队“地狱之锤”和加拿大疯狂速度金属乐队“铁砧”(ANVIL)和“兴奋者”(EXCITER)各自的特点,并渗透了一点丹麦神秘主义者“恩赐命运”(MERCYFUL FATE)乐队的反宗教意识,组建了自己的“死亡”乐队,其宗旨非常简单:“成为世界上最重最快的乐队”。早期“死亡”的示范作品“因金属而死”(DEATH FOR METAL)、“地狱死亡”(INFERNAL DEATH)和“损坏”(MUTILATION)为乐队(主要是舒尔迪那)赢得了一系列合作者。随着地下音乐唱片商和乐迷的增加,“死亡金属”渐渐成为时尚。该乐队早期专辑1986年的《血淋淋的尖刺》(SCREAM BLOODY CORE)和1987年的《麻风病》(LEPROSY)的影响是不容忽视的,它建立起黑暗吉他音调的标准。但乐队组建不久,舒尔迪那就蒙上了“简直难以共事”的恶名,这使得他失去了“死亡”乐队应得的成功。该乐队出版了一系列技术精湛的专辑,如1991年的《人类》(HUMAN)。舒尔迪那本人否认难以共事的恶名,“人们会惊奇并取笑,因为他们发现我是多么地难以置信的平常。我非常喜欢普通生活,象遛狗、做饭、看电视、郊游、划船,都是些美好的事情。从不做伤害人的事情,我喜欢动物,甚至想成为兽医,也许会弄块地,种点蔬菜什么的。”
   
   死亡金属作为一种“亡命徒”式的音乐,也许很吸引人,甚至出乎意料地吸引大批听众。这样,反过来会左右唱片公司,左右死亡金属音乐的发展方向。虽说死亡金属是“亡命徒音乐”,但在90年代,一切都变得不可思议,洛杉矶90%的乐迷似乎都开始听死亡金属或其他重一点的音乐了。在这种环境下诞生了越来越多的死亡乐队。
   
   从BLACK SABBATH开始死亡金属的核心内容就被定义为世界末日和魔王的降临,其最忠实的支持者及其中心人物是魔鬼撒旦,越来越多的乐队以次为题材,走上死亡的道路。佛罗里达乐队“杀神者”(DEICIDE)1992年专辑《军团》(LEGION)中的一首“超越先知”(BEHEAD OF PROPHET)用疯狂的速度表达了反宗教的愤怒,就象罗马教皇的一颗毒瘤。这是一种“恶魔主义”,也是更加邪恶的预兆。“残酷的真理”(BRUTAL TRUTH)的凯文.夏普(KEVIN SHARP)对此有理性地分析:“当然,这是一种安全的反叛方式,没有什么可怕的,撒旦不会真正实现。”总之,这确实表明一种“自我确认”合法化的意识,并非去做《魔鬼圣经》中要求做的事。而是做一些把你的灵魂从宗教权利、衰微的中产阶级阴影中拯救出来的事,“无望文化”的唯一出路就是死亡。就象一些人真的相信2000年世界毁灭的预言一样。
   1984年由吉他手特雷.阿泽格索恩(TREY AZAGTHOTH)和理查德.布鲁内尔(RICHARD BRUNELLE)组建的“恐怖天使”不折不扣地表现出一种凶狠、残暴、野蛮的风格。“阿泽格索恩”,名字取自苏美尔人的战争之神,他以在舞台上自残出名。他经常在舞台上折磨自己并喝自己的血,他宣称自己是300年前的吸血鬼,但他又说:“当我在舞台上做一些我想做的事,并不是出于炫耀和招摇,这只是我的个性表现,如果想喝我的血,那么我就会去做,我不会觉得有什么奇怪,我不过做些很平常的事而已。”“恐怖天使”现在对乐迷来说已不陌生,《疯狂的祭坛》中的单曲“小礼拜堂里的食尸鬼”(CHAPEL OF CHURCH)中主唱戴维.文森特(DAVID VINCENT)以十足的恶魔形象吼出一句“笨蛋,上帝已经死了!”但与他谈话时,他更象是谈论一场革命而非寻找撒旦,他对记者说:“我以为人们对流行的东西已感到厌倦,就象我们看到的,在政治和教育体系中赶潮流并非最佳途径一样,唯一的出路,就是违反一点本性,有时这会讨人烦,音乐就反映了这一点。
   阿泽格索恩和“恐怖天使”走向一个极端,但比他们更极端的是“尸体”。这支乐队由原“死亡汽油弹”吉他手比尔.斯蒂尔(BILL STEER)挑头,他们晦涩的GRINDCORE的音乐碎片与带有争议性的歌词恰当地融合在一起,“尸体”的有些作品的名称可能是摇滚史上最难以理解和让人感到不安的,如“内寄生虫的尸体孵化器”(CADAVERIC INCUBATOR OF ENDOPARASITES)、“恶性传染在下贱的大众中散布”(SWARMING VULGAR MASS OF INFECTED VIRULENCY)和“表皮脱落的腹腔发射”(EXCORIATING ABDOMINAL EMANATION )等等,举不胜举。斯蒂尔回忆说:“当我们在1987年组建乐队时,当时的乐队都在写些争议歌词,但那仅仅是些类似恐怖电影的歌词,对我们来说,这毫无意义,它无法对观众产生冲击力。我们要向人们介绍一些现实主义的东西。很显然,也存在一些幻想因素,因为有些想法过于夸张。但同时,它的根植于现实,这就是我们为什么要使用一些医学术语。而且我们认为这是幽默的因素所在,我们不担心当时为达到某种喜剧效果而模仿我们自己。”
   最具创新精神的是“上帝之躯”,这支乐队的头面人物是吉他手贾斯廷.布罗德里克(JUSTIN BROADRICK)(他也曾是“死亡汽油弹”和“HEAD OF DAVID”的成员“,这支乐队把令人生厌的吉他段落和奇怪的唱法以及毫无感情的机械节奏编排在一起,但却具挑战性,它的声音是GRINDCORE美学的典范。尽管这支乐队与其他乐队有着同样的背景和经常在一起巡回演出,但着并不意味着这支乐队和其他乐队一样。事实上,“上帝之躯”在“耳痛”公司常常以一种咄咄逼人的姿态与其他乐队相对立。布罗德里克说:“公司的许多乐队很极端,但很糟糕。这只是一种感觉,我们感觉我们不是那种金属乐队。‘尸体’的音乐是强大的,但缺乏真正的方向,他们唱的东西毫无实际意义,我以为我们的音乐看得很远,其他那些乐队已发展到了边缘,风格已成了局限。死亡金属代表一个时代,而且我更喜欢它的原动力,但现在却成了笑料。我不想说‘上帝之躯’实际上只做了一些极端的事情,我认为我实际上应该在GRINDCORE的声音上做出点实践。这就是为什么我认为那些乐队不能持久下去的原因。”
   另有一些乐队比较特殊:英国的“失落的天堂“(PARADISE LOST)乐队的专辑《哥特式》(GOTHIC)已带有“仁慈姐妹”(SISTER OF MERCY)乐队的风格;新泽西的OLD[原名叫“老妇人司机(OLD LADY DRIVERS)]乐队开始接受日本“无浪潮”(NO WAVE)乐队“废墟”(RUINS)和“沉闷”(BOREDOMS)的影响。
   无数其他乐队偏向工业噪音乐队“上帝之躯”和“内阁”(MINISTRY),甚至连一向以死亡节奏著称的“生死簿”(OBITUARY)乐队都感到有发展的必要。特雷弗.佩尔斯(TREVOR PERES),这位世界上唯一穿“柠檬头”(LEMONHEAD,一支新出名的POST-MORDERN)T恤的死亡金属吉他手认为:“我们需要一些新的想法,象‘我血淋淋的情人节’(MY BLOOD VALENTINE)乐队所做的,很重,很野蛮。”巴西的超级死亡金属乐队“埋葬”(SEPULTURA)已与EPIC唱片公司签约,似乎准备打入主流市场。
   萨克斯手约翰.佐恩(JOHN ZORN)是一位很可靠的指示者,他与赤裸城市(NAKED CITY)、“止痛片”(PAINKILLER)等乐队合作的作品被“材料”(MATERIAL)、“上帝之躯”和“死亡汽油弹”的成员所称赞。佐恩已承认日本核心乐队S.O.B对他有一定影响。他还特地去日本待了一段时间,与UFO(UNITED FUTURE ORGNIZATION)乐队,“死”(DIE)乐队的歌手YAMASUKA EYE、“废墟”乐队的成员、噪音吉他手KEIJI HEINO切磋音乐。每一个与佐恩合作的人,在他看来都是一件乐器,从“超速度青年”(SONIC YOUNG)的吉他手瑟斯顿.穆尔,到“信仰破灭”的迈克.帕顿,到“残酷的真理”的凯文.夏普。夏普这样评论佐恩:“他是个疯子,他最奇妙的一点是把先锋派音乐完美地融进核心音乐和死亡金属音乐中。”
   
   以后怎么样?谁也不知道。谁会在埃尔维斯摇屁股的时候想到以后会有“黑色安息日”这样的乐队出来,摧毁了整个关于节奏与布鲁斯的概念;谁又会想起“性手枪”、“黑旗”和约翰.佐恩?也许人的创造力和接受能力是无限的。让我们想想,“涅磐”已到达了4白金,“金属”乐队的唱片已超过了5白金,若在几年前,谁又会信呢?

问几个弱智的问题,
ROCK 和金属是一回事吗?别笑话啊,的确不是很明白。
重金属,黑金属,死亡金属有什么不同啊?可否用简单的语言介绍一下。相对来讲,哪个更重?

谢谢!

rock是音乐的一种流派,起源于5、6十年代的摇摆乐,代表是猫王、甲壳虫,早期摇滚乐音乐以布鲁斯为主,但发展变化很快,风格几乎涵盖了所有范畴,所以有一种说法就是,摇滚乐做大的特点就是突破传统。

金属是摇滚乐的一种,特点就是以电吉他为主,强调电器技术,常使用是声音变为噪音的效果器。但也说明个摇滚乐的特点,就是吉他用得比较多。

重金属说白了风格较重,节奏也表较简单,向早期的led zepplin, rod steward和现在还在出唱片的bruce springsteen.

听金属,可以听一下metallic, steve vai,

黑金属之风格压抑低沉,黑金属就是死亡金属。

Death Metal/Black Metal
genre: Rock  
Death Metal grew out of the thrash metal in the late '80s. Taking the gritty lyrics and morbid obsessions of thrash to extremes, death metal was — as its name suggests — solely about death, pain, and suffering. These relentlessly bleak lyrics were set to loud, heavy riffs that owed as much to the lumbering metal of Black Sabbath as it did to Metallica. Death metal bands also owed a debt to the complex song structures of '70s art rockers, though most of these winding, intricate compositional methods were learned through Metallica. Death metal never attracted a wide audience, but to some diehard heavy metal fans, it was a preferable alternative to Metallica and Guns N' Roses — who were selling millions of records in the late '80s and early '90s — or the pop-metal of Poison. It kept a small, dedicated cult throughout the '90s.

Speed Metal
genre: Rock  
In the early '80s, speed metal became the most popular form of heavy metal in the American underground. Crossing the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with hardcore punk, speed metal was extremely fast, abrasive, and technically demanding — the bands played fast, but their attack was precise and clean. In that sense, speed metal always remained true to its metal roots. But what it borrowed from hardcore — namely, insanely fast tempos and a defiant, do-it-yourself attitude — was equally important, since it gave the bands not only a unique musical approach but also an attractive image for legions of alienated suburban youths. Because it was so intense and technically demanding, speed metal quickly evolved into thrash, which allowed greater leeway in terms of tempo, groove, and instrumental dexterity. Led by Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer this new wave of metal bands stood in direct contrast with the pop-oriented metal that dominated the charts during the '80s, but they managed to cultivate dedicated cult followings that would eventually allow them to go platinum with no support from mainstream media, radio, or MTV.

Thrash
genre: Rock  
Thrash was essentially the sound of underground heavy metal during the '80s, dominated by a driving, percussive approach to rhythm guitar (thanks to a pick-hand technique called palm muting) and furious levels of aggression. Thrash was often technically accomplished, taken at fast tempos, and emphasized heavy, sometimes atonal guitar riffs over melody; however, these generalizations are far from absolute rules. In its early days, thrash was essentially the same thing as speed metal, the product of American bands who in the early '80s fused the lean, vicious attack of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with the tempos of hardcore punk and Motorhead. However, the dexterity and constant intensity required to play speed metal proved limiting to some, and a variety of different approaches quickly took shape: some thrash bands concentrated more on midtempo grooves, occasionally accelerating into speed-metal realms; some, like Metallica and Megadeth, used their instrumental technique to craft more intricate and progressive music; others emphasized the music's aggression to project theatrically menacing images. Thrash provided a harder, heavier, more authentically metallic alternative to the accessible pop-metal bands who dominated the charts in the late '80s, and despite a dearth of airplay, it became quite popular, so much so that when Metallica and Megadeth streamlined their sound to make it more accessible in the early '90s, they became instant superstars. Diehard underground metalheads took refuge in the thrash-inspired death and black metal styles, which took thrash's dark subject matter and visceral force to intentionally disturbing extremes.

Progressive Metal
genre: Rock  
Progressive Metal blends the attack, volume, and aggression of metal with the grandiose, pseudo-classical ambitions of prog-rock. Of course, certain bands emphasize one influence over the other — Dream Theater, for instance, leaned toward prog more than some of their peers — but they all shared this one basic ambition. Progressive metal first surfaced in the late '80s, led by such bands as the Pink Floydian Queensryche. At the time, prog-metal was fairly underground (although such Metallica albums as And Justice for All were as dense and layered as prog albums), and it remained that way throughout the '90s. However, it was popular enough to produce a handful of crossover hits, most notably Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity." But even though it never became a huge seller in the '90s, progressive metal always had a dedicated following, and bands like Queensryche and Dream Theater stayed on major labels throughout the decade. By the end of the '90s, however, it was firmly the province of hardcore fans.

Symphonic Black Metal
genre: Rock  
Though it's an imperfect designation, symphonic black metal is the most common term for a European-centered style that emerged in the mid- to late '90s. It isn't literally symphonic, of course; that simply refers to the thick-sounding instrumentation and sweeping, dramatic soundscapes. Nor is its connection to black metal always readily audible; although nearly all of its bands started out playing standard-issue black metal, symphonic black metal often bears little surface resemblance to its immediate forebear. The starting point for symphonic black metal was the early-'90s sound of Norwegian black metal, specifically the wing of bands that employed sorrowful, melodic keyboard lines as a counterpoint to their furious assaults. Black metal groups looking to push past the inherent limitations of the form began de-emphasizing the guitar and adding elements of progressive rock (primarily psychedelic space-rock bands like Pink Floyd) and goth metal, with its emphasis on chilling, eerie texture. The resulting sound is usually lush, and much more inviting and accessible than straightforward black metal. After outfits like Tiamat and Samael pioneered the form, a new wave of bands led by the Gathering also began incorporating ethereal female singers, sometimes as the sole vocal focus. The symphonic black metal movement remains somewhat limited, partly because of its epic ambitions and partly because it isn't traditionally metallic, but its fascinating synthesis of influences made it an instantly identifiable alternative in underground metal at the turn of the millennium.

Heavy Metal
genre: Rock  
Of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality. There are numerous stylistic variations on heavy metal's core sound, but they're all tied together by a reliance on loud, distorted guitars (usually playing repeated riffs) and simple, pounding rhythms. Heavy metal has been controversial nearly throughout its existence — critics traditionally dismissed the music as riddled with over-the-top adolescent theatrics, and conservative groups have often protested what they perceive as evil lyrical content. Still, despite — or perhaps because of — those difficulties, heavy metal has become one of the most consistently popular forms of rock music ever created, able to adapt to the times yet keep its core appeal intact. For all its status as America's rebellion soundtrack of choice, heavy metal was largely a British creation. The first seeds of heavy metal were sown in the British blues movement of the '60s, specifically among bands who found it hard to adjust to the natural swing of American blues. The rhythms became more squared-off, and the amplified electric instruments became more important, especially with the innovations of artists like the Kinks, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and the Jeff Beck Group. Arguably the first true metal band, however, was Led Zeppelin. Initially, Zep played blues tunes heavier and louder than anyone ever had, and soon created an epic, textured brand of heavy rock that drew from many musical sources. Less subtle but perhaps even more influential was Black Sabbath, whose murky, leaden guitar riffs created a doomy fantasy world obsessed with drugs, death, and the occult. Following the blueprint laid down by Zep and Sabbath, several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the '70s: the catchy tunes and outrageous stage shows of Alice Cooper and Kiss; the sleazy boogie of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and wild party rock of Van Halen (not to mention the distinctively minimalist grooves of Australia's AC/DC). In the late '70s, a cache of British bands dubbed the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (including Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Motorhead) started playing metal faster, leaner, and with more menace than ever before. They helped influence a new American metal scene known as thrash in the '80s, which took shape as a reaction to metal's new mainstream pop breakthrough, which came courtesy of Def Leppard's Pyromania. Metal enjoyed its greatest presence on the charts during the '80s, thanks to a raft of glammed-up pop-metal bands, but thrash bands played complex riffs at breakneck speed, sometimes dispensing with vocal melody altogether. Thrashers like Metallica and Megadeth built rabid cult followings that pushed them into the mainstream around the same time that grunge wiped pop-metal off the charts. Mainstream metal in the '90s centered around a new hybrid called alternative metal, which (in its most commercially potent form) combined grinding thrash and grunge influences with hip-hop and industrial flourishes, though it broke with metal's past in downplaying the importance of memorable riffs. Meanwhile, the underground grew harsher and bleaker, producing two similar, thrash-derived styles known as death metal and black metal, which produced some of the most abrasive, intense, hyperspeed music and graphic shock tactics the metal world had yet witnessed.

Grindcore
genre: Rock  
While the term Grindcore has often been used somewhat interchangeably with death metal, the two started out as very different, albeit similarly extreme, forms of music, despite becoming more alike over the years. When it first appeared in the mid-'80s, grindcore in its purest form consisted of short, apocalyptic blasts of noise played on standard heavy metal instrumentation (distorted guitar, bass, drums). Although grindcore wasn't just randomly improvised, it certainly didn't follow conventional structure, either; while riffs could sometimes be picked out, pure grindcore never featured verses, choruses, or even melodies. Grindcore vocals sounded torturous, ranging from high-pitched shrieks to low, throat-shredding growls and barks; although the lyrics were usually quite verbose, they were very rarely intelligible. Grindcore's jaw-dropping aggression was so over the top that pointing to its roots in thrash metal and hardcore punk hardly gives an idea of what it actually sounds like. Indisputably, the band that invented grindcore was Napalm Death, whose 1987 debut album Scum is also perhaps the most representative example of the style. In Napalm Death's hands, grindcore was actually rather arty, a sonic metaphor for the bleakness, violence, and decay of modern society; the group's lyrics were additionally packed with angry social commentary. More extreme in the lyrical department was Carcass, the only other band to really epitomize the original grindcore sound; their gruesome, gory rants were literally taken from anatomical textbooks for maximum shock (and gonzo comedy) factor. However, grindcore's original form was inherently limiting, and its intensity could easily turn into self-parody; on Napalm Death's second album, they had already begun to experiment with industrial textures, a fusion that would prove popular not only with bands who loved the jackhammer rhythms a drum machine could provide, but also with slower, moodier bands like Godflesh (itself a Napalm Death offshoot). Grindcore's blistering intensity was assimilated not only into underground heavy metal, but also into avant-garde and experimental music circles; Japanese noise bands like the Boredoms and Merzbow found it inspiring, and jazz musician John Zorn formed the grindcore-inspired group Painkiller (which featured former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris). Although pure grindcore was a distinctly British phenomenon, the early albums by the Florida band Death — which ratcheted up the aggression and morbidity of prime Slayer — had a raw, crude, assaultive quality that made them extremely similar. Apart from adopting the low, demonic growl of the grindcore vocal style almost wholesale, American death metal bands with relatively limited technical ability who played at fast tempos often resembled grindcore outfits with song structures. In fact, by the '90s, Napalm Death's sound was virtually impossible to separate from either death metal or grindcore, and Carcass had become a full-fledged, even melodic, death metal band. One of the very few bands to stick with grindcore's original form was A.C. (aka Anal Cunt), which primarily employed it to a snottily humorous effect.

Doom Metal
genre: Rock  
Inspired largely by the lumbering dirges and stoned, paranoid darkness of Black Sabbath, doom metal is one of the very few heavy metal subgenres to prize feel and mood more than flashy technique (though the latter can certainly be present). Even more indebted to Sabbath than most metal, doom metal is extremely slow, sludgy, and creepy, feeling so heavy it can barely move; its deliberate pace and murky guitars are meant to evoke (what else?) a sense of impending doom. The movement began to take shape in the mid-'80s, as underground bands like the SST label's Saint Vitus, the critically acclaimed Trouble, and Sweden's Candlemass attracted cult audiences for their out-of-fashion, Sabbath-dominated sounds. Trouble and Cathedral helped bring doom metal to a wider (though not mainstream) metal audience during the early '90s, and doom's monolithic darkness quickly made it appealing to a variety of tastes. Doom metal was one of the formative influences on the retro-obsessed stoner metal movement of the '90s, and it was not uncommon for bands to find favor in both camps. Another dominant strain of '90s doom metal — pioneered by British bands like Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Anathema — fused Sabbath heaviness with the sounds and sensibilities of goth-metal, plus occasional touches of death metal; the results were sorrowful, gloomy epics. The '90s also birthed a unique doom metal scene centered in New Orleans; the sound of bands like Crowbar and Eyehategod was often described as "sludge metal" because of their heavy debt to early Seattle grunge bands like the Melvins and Soundgarden. Several doom metal bands incorporated progressive tendencies, though this approach was much less widespread.

Goth Metal
genre: Rock  
Goth metal fuses the bleak, icy atmospherics of goth rock with the loud guitars and aggression of heavy metal, finding the middle ground between the two styles in a melodramatic sense of theater and lyrical obsessions with religion and horror. Prior to the emergence of goth rock as a post-punk genre, the vaguely medieval, minor-key sounds of metal bands like Rainbow, Dio, and Judas Priest had been described as "gothic," but true goth metal is always directly influenced by goth rock — ethereal synths and spooky textures are just as important as guitar riffs, if not moreso. Thus, goth metal frequently holds appeal for listeners on both sides of the equation. Goth metal first emerged during the early to mid-'80s, centered around Los Angeles' so-called "death-rock" scene headed by Christian Death. Many goth metal bands have since sprung up in both America and Europe, with the tongue-in-cheek Type O Negative breaking out to a wider alternative metal audience in the '90s. During the latter half of that decade, goth metal also proved to be an important influence on black metal bands searching for new ways to darken their sound.
