Before you check out the band links, click first on the guitar image below to read my thoughts on youth rebellion through music in its various expressions, both negative and positive.

Here are links to some of the bands that I really like. As you will see, not exactly everything is just metal, because there are actually several more types of music that I like. Just for fun, I’ve put the links in no particular order, I’ve simply scattered them within six separate pages (If I put all of the banners on only one page, it would take ages for them to load). In between banners are some metal genre descriptions.

By the way, if you hold your mouse over a link long enough, you will see a picture of that band…


Black metal is a “barbarian” music for the youth, and the crashing and the thundering of the music is like the thundering of Mjolnir,Thor’s mighty hammer, crushing the skulls of enemies. The natural chaos, the sheer acoustic assault of the music is like a tornado, it’s the natural forces of chaos unleashed...

Black metal uses long phrases, that harmonize internally and resolve in resounding tremolo, often creating from broken apart sound an organic torrent of tones wrapped around each other through the artificial harmonization of their internal frequencies. Black metal more than being structuralist is existentialist, and ideologically dogmatic in that assertion. Vocals are more of a shriek and often musicianship is less developed than that of death metal. The imagery and lyrical content of the music is very dark, often delving into demonic and satanic issues.
