4. 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.

5. • 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.

6. Structure of the Subculture
Consists of 3 main sections
- Musicians
- Audience
- Mediators

7. 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”

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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

24. The Rime of the Ancient
Mariner
Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
‚It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
See his eye as he stops one of three
`By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
The bridegroom's doors are opened wide,
And I am next of kin;
Stay here and listen to
The guests are met, the feast is set: the nightmares of the sea.
Mayst hear the merry din.'
He holds him with his skinny hand,
"There was a ship," quoth he.
And the music plays on,
`Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!‘ as the bride passes by
Eftsoons his hand dropped he.
Caught by his spell and
He holds him with his glittering eye -
The Wedding-Guest stood still, the mariner tells his tale.
And listens like a three years' child:
The Mariner hath his will. ‚
-IRON MAIDEN
- Samuel Taylor Toleridge.

36. 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 Star
This movie rocks hard. The
band in this movie, Steel
Dragon, consists of many
great musicians from great
rock bands.

37. Footloose
This 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 Street
This 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.

38. 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.

39. Point Break
Point 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.

40. 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.

41. 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.

42. 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.

44. 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.

45. 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

46. ATTIRE
• Sleeveless cut of denim or leather
emblazoned with woven patches and
button pins from heavy metal bands
• Full sleeves studded leather jackets
The clothing associated with heavy metal has its roots
in the biker, rocker, and leather subcultures.

47. • Skinny blue or black denim or drill pants
• Black T-Shirts with band emblem

48. Accessories
• Studded wristbands and bracelets

49. Studded and bullet belts and
Gaunlets

50. Rings and Pendants

51. Piercings, gloves and motorcycle
boots

52. Long teased hair and tatoos

55. Dimebag Darrell of Pantera
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
Dimebag wrote riffs that were hooky
Pantera
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.

56. Slash of Guns N’ Roses
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.

57. Page Hamilton of Helmet
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.
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.

58. Dave Murray and Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden
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
Crimson
Robert 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.

59. 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 Converge
Converge'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.

61. 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.

fall
Diane von Furstenberg's clothes were dripping
with embellishments -- metallic half-moons on
floaty ballerina-sheer skirts, plus gorgeous
prints straight out of the '70s, liberally layered
with slouchy cardigans.

67. Conclusion
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.
