• Shock Rock, does exactly what it sounds like, its about trying to shock
your audience with things like, blood, monsters and any other thing
that will shock the audience. Its something that started in the 80’s
with artists such as Alice Cooper and is still happening with people

normally created by performing in a very small space.

• Most Nu-metal bands continued into the 2000’s, some slightly changing their
style and some not, however a lot of new bands were formed, which were much
more like original heavy metal with bands like, Avenged Sevenfold and Five Finger

7. 2010’s
• Most of the metal bands since the 80’s onwards are still performing, so it became
hard for new bands to gain large followings.
• A lot of bands became very cinematic and used their music and their videos to try
and help people, Five Finger Death Punch is an example of this using videos to
help war veterans and people with depression :
