The heavy metal scene is possibly seen as one of the biggest underground subcultures in music and society. With major heavy metal records labels, music breaking into charts, multi platinum records, summer festivals and music also being used in major horror films and Video.

Heavy Metal

• Metal head is a popular term for a devoted fan of heavy metal music.

• Follows the rules within the subculture.

Page 5: Heavy metal

• Early metal bands, in emulation of popular music as a whole, hoped to discover what was real by finding out first what was not. This attitude, over the course of four generations of music, took metal beyond the grounds of "good" versus "evil" into nihilism, where nothing had inherent value or classification, but could be described in terms of experience.

Page 6: Heavy metal

Consists of 3 main sections

- Musicians

- Audience

- Mediators

Structure of the Subculture

Page 7: Heavy metal

The Musician• The musicians are the people who are creating and playing

the music which fits within the genre of heavy metal.• They must appear both completely devoted to their music

and loyal to the subculture that supports it: they must appear disinterested in mainstream appeal and radio hits; and they must never “sell out”

Page 8: Heavy metal

The Audience• The audiences are the people who follow the rules of

subculture and are watching the musicians.• For the audiences the code promotes “opposition to

established authority, and separatenesss from the rest of society.

Page 9: Heavy metal

The Mediators• Mediators are the people ‘who bring the musicians and

audiences together through such “media” as radio, records and magazine.

• Also known as Record labels and publishers.

Page 10: Heavy metal

Expansion of the culture

• The large expansion of the Heavy Metal subculture is due to the fact that ‘Metal heads’ are trying to be very extremist which in turn gave the metal subculture a very high standard of virtuoso musians which in turn would bring the audiences and catch the eyes of the mediators.

• Expansion happened during the late 90s

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

“It is an ancient Mariner,

And he stoppeth one of three.

`By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,

Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?

The bridegroom's doors are opened wide,

And I am next of kin;

The guests are met, the feast is set:

Mayst hear the merry din.'

He holds him with his skinny hand,

"There was a ship," quoth he.

`Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!‘

Eftsoons his hand dropped he.

He holds him with his glittering eye - 

The Wedding-Guest stood still,

And listens like a three years' child:

The Mariner hath his will. “

- Samuel Taylor Toleridge.

Hear the rime of the ancient marinerSee his eye as he stops one of three

Mesmerises one of the wedding guestsStay here and listen to

the nightmares of the sea.

And the music plays on, as the bride passes by

Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale.

-IRON MAIDEN

Movies with Music About Heavy Metal

Heavy metal music seems to rarely make the limelight, especially in movies. Here is a compilation of the best movies with metal.

Rock StarThis movie rocks hard. The band in this movie, Steel Dragon, consists of many great musicians from great rock bands.

Page 37: Heavy metal

FootlooseThis movie was awesome and changed the entire dance culture.He gets pulled over by the cops for disturbing the peace with his metal music.

A Nightmare on Elm StreetThis movie rocked hard! Nothing better than a combination of hot girls having nightmares. Even Dokken did the song "Dream Warriors" that embraced the essence of the movie and the fight against Freddie Krueger.

Page 38: Heavy metal

The Wrestler

It is one of the best movies seen in a long time. Wrestling and Metal belong together. This movie features metal music from Accept (Balls to the Wall), Quiet Riot (Metal Health), Guns-N-Roses (Sweet Child of Mine), and Ratt (Round and Round). Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei sing Ratt's Round and Round together in the great bar scene.

Page 39: Heavy metal

Point BreakPoint Break is one of the greatest movies ever. Ratt rocks with Nobody Rides for Free in this movie. They need to make a Point Break sequel.

Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey

Rated 90% Fresh at RottenTomatoes.com, released in 2005, Sam Dunn’s anthropological glimpse at the Metalhead subculture has become the definitive look at the world and history of Metal, from its inception during the years of Black Sabbath, through to the international phenomenon it is today. While there is a great focus on bands and musicians, the documentary also focuses on the fans and the culture of the genre. It is a definite must-see for metalheads; but is prepared in a way for the average “outsider” to gain a fresh perspective and understanding of the culture.

Page 41: Heavy metal

Still Crazy

In the mid- to late-1990’s, there was a development among classic metal bands and classic rock bands… nostalgia had kicked in, and reunion tours were announced. Numerous bands joined the movement – each one declaring that their reunion tour was individualized and not influenced by other acts getting back together: Black Sabbath, KISS, Sex Pistols, and a slew of bands they influenced who were from the 1980’s zenith of hair metal… It was an exciting time when it first started as many younger fans were getting the opportunity to see their favorite bands for the first time ever.

Detroit Rock City

After the tacky parody-filled comedies (most of them listed in the MetalInjection.net top 6) had come and gone, but also just after the Reunion Tour chapter of many Metal bands, came the movie Detroit Rock City.

Heavy metal fashion is the style of dress, body modification, make-up, hairstyle, and so on, taken on by fans of heavy metal, or, as they are often called, metalheads or headbangers.

Page 45: Heavy metal

Like the metal music, these fashions have changed over the decades, while keeping some core elements. Typically, the heavy metal fashions of the late 1970s – 1980s comprised• Tight blue jeans or drill pants• Black t-shirts with emblem of bands• Long-sleeved leather jacket• Motorcycle boots or hi-top sneakers • Studded and bullet belts and gaunlets• Piercing and studded leather gloves • Metal rings and chains• Long hair and totoos

Dimebag Darrell of Pantera

Dimebag wrote riffs that were hooky and heavy all at once. When grunge was all the rage, Pantera kept the flag of American metal flying high and proud. Pantera invented those “chugga chugga” breakdowns and high-pitched harmonic squeals that now dominate the landscape of metal. Also, in a scene full of people scowling, Dimebag knew how to grin like a fool and have as much fun as possible – something that’s dreadfully missing from modern metal.

Dimebag Darrell is an American guitarist who become famous with his band Pantera and created a new and heavy sound that inspired nearly every metal band coming after Pantera

Guns N' Roses has influenced many modern rock bands such as Avenged Sevenfold, Mother Love Bone (which would eventually become Pearl Jam), Buckcherry, Dir En Grey, X Japan, Hinder, The Darkness, Limp Bizkit and Manic Street Preachers,

Slash could out-shred many of his Sunset Strip contemporaries, but he knew that he never needed to. His big, emotive blues-inflected solos could say it all with only 10 notes instead of the 10,000 that most guitarists at the time used. There were many other glam metal guitarists before him, but few were that effortlessly cool.

Page Hamilton of Helmet

The sound of Meantime, with Page Hamilton's staccato riffs, jazz-influenced chords and solos, and dual-voice singing style, proved influential to both post-grunge bands and later alternative metal bands such as Chevelle and Deftones. This album along with Betty and Aftertaste is considered a definitive text in post-metal.

Page was a seasoned jazz guitarist, but wielded his guitar with a jock’s brutality, much like he was swinging a hockey stick. He took minimal jazz ideals and applied it to heavy metal. His powerful, staccato riffing and dramatic vocal shifts from soft and clean to full-on bulldog bark, influenced a slew of bands like Korn, the Deftones and countless others.

Page 58: Heavy metal

Their influence is heard all over metal – the doubled lead riffs, the harmonized solos, the fast paced rhythms, the first signs of shred, etc. They were/are an impact on a massive scale to anyone that considers themselves a metalhead.

Robert Fripp of King CrimsonRobert Fripp’s dark, jazzy riffs, coupled with his band’s willingness

to create ridiculously intricate song structures, opened up doors that didn’t previously exist in the realm of heavy metal music or any music at the time. Bands like Dream Theater, Opeth or Between The Buried And Me owe their existence to Robert Fripp.

Robert Fripp probed a new form of spirituality in pieces that eschewed the obvious, tangible and quantifiable sounds of traditional rock instrumentation, preferring instead lengthy pieces which slowly developed through layers of atmosphere and contained a poetic content of revelation, much as classical pieces progress through motives to uncover an essential melody or inspiration.

Dave Murray and Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden

Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath

In the documentary “Heavy: A Headbanger’s Journey”, Rob Zombie makes the statement that “Every cool riff has been written by Black Sabbath. Whether it’s being played faster or slower or backwards or whatever – Black Sabbath did it first.” Ozzy may have been the most infamous member, but Tony Iommi’s evil riffs and liberal use of drop-tuning was the core of Black Sabbath’s legendary sound, and the birth of heavy metal.

Kurt Ballou of ConvergeConverge's influences range from hardcore punk bands, such as Black Flag, The Accused and Born Against, metal bands like Black Sabbath, Godflesh, Slayer, and Entombed,and proto-math core bands Starkweather and Rorschach. Jacob Bannon has also discussed an appreciation for and inspiration from grindcore on Earache Records; post-hardcore on Dischord Records, thrash metal, such as Suicidal Tendencies, Vio-lence, and Death Angel; and post-punk groups, such as Depeche Mode and The Cure.

Luv Aj Luv Aj designer Amanda Thomas parlayed her after-school obsession into an accessories line in 2005. And just like that, her collections of heavy-metal spikes and layered chains have grabbed the attention of fashionable ladies like Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens, Whitney Port and Kim Kardashian. When dashing to and from her manufacturers in DTLA, Thomas likes to frequent the shop Virgo Downtown.

the true essence of Heavy Metal is decaying ....the reason for this is because of the poseur Metal Heads who are buying into the new more commercial bands thus fuelling the industry ..the metal scene is becoming more and more expansive and mainstream ..heading on a downward spiral within its subculture,...losing its authenticity because it is breaking the rules in which it is built upon.

Conclusion
