1. Heavy Metal music and why it's
important by Brett Fischer

2. Metal music can be about a lot of
things
● Like mythology
● Religion
● Politics
● Drugs
● History
● Literature
● and many more.

3. What makes up a metal song?
● Lots Of Distortion
● More instrumentation
● Less Lyrics
● Very Loud and Heavy
● Lots of guitar solos

4. It can be a great way to relieve
frustration or just to have a good
time
● Metal can get rid of your stress
● A good escape from bad experiences
● A great brain stimulating experience

5. Instrumentation Vs Lyrics
● Metal music has lots of tempo changes
● Less conventional song structures
● More advanced formula in most cases.

6. Metal has lots of self expression
● Metal fans are very good at expressing
themselves well.
● The genre does not sellout to trends
● Metal shows are great places to meet
interesting and like minded people.
● Metal music is very complex most of the time
● Makes no compromises

7. Metal has been mixed with most
other music genres at some point
● For example
● Symphonic metal
● Neo classical metal
● Folk metal
● Thrash metal
● Progressive metal
● Need I say more?

8. The fans are very loyal to their
music
● Heavy metal has a huge and I mean huge cult
following that is so big and so strong that metal
will outlast pretty much everything else.
● Good luck convincing metal fans to dismiss
their music or feel ashamed of what they do, in
fact don't even try.
