The sound is hard on the ear and, just like its name, brutal. On the opposite end of the spectrum is melodic death metal. Melodeath, as it’s referred to, is all about melody. Along with growled vocals, singing is often heard. Common lyrical topics of Melodeath are fantasy, science fiction, and deeds of heroism.
Avant-garde metal Main article: Avant-garde metal Avant-garde metal (sometimes called experimental metal) is a cross-genre term used to describe metal bands that exhibit experimentation through non-standard sounds, instruments, and song structures akin to the genre of metal they are rooted in. Prominent examples include Arcturus, Celtic Frost, and Sunn O))). Black metal Main article: Black metal Black metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal.

Thrash Metal Thrash metal has come a long since way since the 1970s and 1980s when it first began, with different songs such as Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown" and Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave", and Queen's "Ogre Battle" and "Stone Cold Crazy" paved the way for new artists in the thrash metal category to step in and become a new popular genre and a number of bands began incorporating the sound of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. The beginning of heavy metal was a not so easy one, with a lot of criticism of their lyrics and their acts on stage, leading to a number of protests. But as it became more mainstream, more people would start listening to it. Then it divided into sub categories, because different bands wanted to separate themselves from the same image as every other band, and be unique, with a different sound of everything to the sound of the lead singer’s voice to the guitar riffs, which became as we know it now, with sub categories like speed metal, groove metal, death metal and thrash metal, and thrash metal has became well known among metal fans these past 2 decades. Thrash metal, or more simply known as just “thrash” is known to have 4 main acts that represent thrash metal; Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer.
Punk Rock Punk rock is a genre of rock music starting out in mid 1970’s, mainly around USA, UK and Australia. Punk is known for its fast guitar chords and drumming and angry rebellious lyrics. Their influences started out in the 60’s with harder rock bands like MC5, The Who, and The Kinks. These early rock bands played heavier rock and roll music as seen in song like ‘You Really Got Me’, ‘I Can’t Explain’ and ‘My Generation’. These songs had heavy guitar chords and, ‘My Generation’ in particular, its lyrical subject being about the youth of their day and rebellion.
The History and Progression of the Musical Genre of Metal What comes to mind when you think of metal music? Some people immediately, and unfairly, accept the common stereotype that it is a genre composed entirely of unlistenable, atonal music. Others, including myself, see the genre as having strengths and weaknesses, like any other, and find that those strengths outweigh its weaknesses. In reality, today’s music, of all genres, would not be the same without the influence of metal, and in turn, modern metal would not be the same without influences like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, as well as pioneers such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. Today, I will inform you of the definition of metal music, its origins, and how it has progressed and changed over time.
About sixty years ago, the guitar underwent a modification that would forever change the rest of the musical world- it was electrified. The electric guitar adds a whole new dimension to many genres of music. However, the acoustic guitar is still often used in today’s popular tunes. The acoustic and electric guitar differ enough when it comes to mechanics, sound, and purpose to stand side-by-side in the music industry. The mechanics of both the acoustic guitar and the electric guitar involve the materials used to create each instrument and the process of manufacturing each instrument.
Punk music not only sounds good but it has a lot to say in its lyrics. The music is mostly anarchy, anti-war, anti-politics, and pro-protest. The band that has the most to say about the current war that I have heard is Anti-Flag. That, for now, is what I know about punk rock. Last but not least there is an abundance of things to accomplish during this project.
Both the visual and vocal aspects are seen as in need of censorship. Rock and Roll is very energetic and fast paced. There is so much time, energy and emotions put into making a song. But all of this emotion and energy is somewhat displeasing to some people. “Rock music has one appeal only, a barbaric appeal to sexual desire- not love, not Eros, but sexual desire undeveloped and untutored…” says A. Bloom in Junk Food for the Soul by Frank Zappa.

Death penalty is the heaviest punishment imposed on a criminal to death which is known as capital punishment. In many centuries ago, death penalty already existed and carried out to those criminal.
