In this one little thing I'ma explore the skeleton of a song of many genres! I have been writing this piece for a while and Now it's time to start to dwelve in it.
Trash Metal:
This songs are awesome, perse, their theme is about war, death and destruction, and sometimes, how god hates us all. Big trashers are: Anthrax, Slayer, Sodom, Metallica, Megadeth, And many many others.
The structure is as follows:
Intro, begin of the song, Chorus, And here comes the interesting part, THE SOLO, it is a pointless, mindless, fast, mind melting, trash at the guitar with such awesome speed and technique you would say it was all planned but no! it's just mindless tapping in a sort of way "how many notes you can smash into 1:30 minutes", Chorus, End of the song
Heavy Metal:
This songs are classics and practically defined everything we know today and take as granted. Big exponents are later metallica, Iron maiden, Iced Earth, Judas Priest, Manowar, Black Sabbath and Dio, Among others.
The structure is easier, intro, Chorus, Solo that must be said are always best arranged and are perfectly coded to sound near perfect, and an outro. Usually these songs a catchy and become mainstream and Classics of rock. Examples would Master of Puppets by metallica, fear of the dark by Iron maiden And so on.
Emo metal:
This songs are extremely slow and are the extasis of the commercial impact of MTV in the music. these bands are My chemical romance, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, and almost every single new band that has been coming out for a while.
The structure is... ONE LONG SUICIDE NOTE... most of them (being the only exception the guys in MCR who like to talk about killing other people) Are extremely slow and drowzy with men singing with feminine tones and pain in their tongues. The structure is as simple as it gets, Intro, Chorus, Outro, usually they are catchy for angsty Teenager or those who believe these are trendy or something.
In my humble opinion these bands are the WORSE impact in music, and the AIDS of the sound Spectrum. Also has the worse impact on teenager, making them think they deserve everything just by being born instead of earning it with work and sweat.
Power Metal:
The power metal has two connotations, one is the HEAVIER side made in the us, and the other is the Speed side made in the old continent
So we are going to divide it into two categories!
American Power Metal: Pantera, Lamb of God.
This are one of my favorite the structure might be extremely complex in execution but they all share something in common. SCREAMING! The singer doesnt sing usually, just screams and it sounds awesome. the music is aggressive and is a big 3 minutes solo overall. every single song (most of them anyway) are highly elaborated and the musicians hold the best records as musicians. Examples of this Would be Dime Bag Darrel, pantera's guitarrist, one of my favorite for his RAW way of playing the guitar.
European power metal: Stratovarious, Sonata Arctica
this is the top of the european, becoming famous, unlike their american counter parts, these guys SING in very high pitched voices, With the greatest of techniques to play their instruments and usually in a very speedy fashions. the songs are happy or sad, but always nice. and are catchy.
Then there is the... ugly part of the metal: all the sub genres that even I consider just Noise.
Death metal, Death Core, Noise Metal, HardCore And so forth:
They all start Extremely fast with the same note over and over again, pointless solo (even much more pointless than the trash, HECK in comparison trash metal solos are beautiful masterpieces of music) I must note that even tho the musicians are extremely good and most of them are very gifted to play at those speeds for such long periods of time. And the never ending gutural grunt of the song. here is an extract:
GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAACCCCHHHH!!!!!!!! TATATATATATATATATATATTAAT (this is the drums) And the guitar IRIRIRIRIRIIRIRIRIRIRIIRIR And then the bas in a never ending POMPPOMPOMPOMPOMPOMPOM
it's just Meaningless, but then again I like some songs that are actually understandable. Here are some names of the bands (Notice the Humanity is death theme in the names alone)
Cannibal Corpse (who could imagine..)
Napam Death (nice way to die)
Morbid Angel (... Just..)
Rotting Christ (Sometimes they go and violate 3/4 of the world beliefs XD)
Carcass (Like my friend says "you are eating a steak? Cow's carcass?")
As blood Runs Black (I seriously don't know what this mean)
Obituary (but obituary strangely is somewhat good)
Cadaver (haha...)
cattle Decapitation (seriously guys, Do you really think that's nice?)
Decapitated (haha.. and more heads rolling.)
Dissection (Something ..obscure, notice the medical names of all bands...)
Deicide (these guys are somewhat the precursors of the thought that god is evil and satan is better)
Dying Fetus (And it keeps going with the Doctor Satan)
impaled (And some are religious again with the catholic church-....)
Immolation (another nice way to be burnt)
Prostitute Disfigurement (this guys have such fetish of fucking grilled women)
Six feet under (these are even original)
Vomitory (extremely "nice" and "awesome" vacational place for all the family!!)
