Metal music is often called Heavy Metal is a cultural product that embryo bakalnya began in mid-20th century There is a lot of controversy about this kind of music, but for lovers of rock music (hard listening) principle is quite simple, "music is just music, so enjoy it if you like ".
1. Lifestyle / Culture sub-urban (sub culture).
Lifestyle sub-culture that is different from the parent culture (mainstream culture) is one of the role models in the culture of heavy metal (metal rules) early generations. The fact that seemed to be visible in the early era of cultural metal is hair metal (mandatory long-haired or bald alone all), chains and iron rings, tattoos, body pierching, self-body mutilation, big motor (MOGE), a leather jacket, vandalism, shoes boot, and so on. Another fact in the early era of metal, slogan sub culture of "sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll" also penetrated into the world of metal, but in the' 80s began a shift in the principle that there is a wave of music lovers metal which take different paths ( as well as the development of extreme metal).
2. Generate flow / genre most.
Heavy metal has indeed been childless - pinak, active in reproducing a lot of flow / subgenre as evidence of the exploration conducted musician, in fact a subgenre could have been a lot more than that is mapped in the chart's history of heavy metal.
Experts musical culture have mapped some diagrams genealogy of heavy metal in different viewpoints - different
3. Fanaticism music and lifestyle.
The position of the flow of heavy metal music as a sub-culture in his position as opposition from the parent culture, psychologically does produce a spirit of brotherhood and a sense of camaraderie among musicians and fans that create fanaticism. In the era of the initial appearance, heavy metal is indeed voiced the spirit of rebellion against mainstream culture that almost everything carries a negative lifestyle, when in fact these negative lifestyle many lived also by those who are not lovers of heavy metal. Even this kind of music was banned in some countries because of fears bigotry against this new sub-culture could erode the value - traditional values.
4. Dealing with belief / faith and philosophy / ideology / idealism (?)
Metal music by some quarters is often associated with confidence - confidence. The fact confidence lover and metal music player is varied, in general there is theis (religious), atheists, agnostics, Satanism, paganism, mysticism, and so on. But variations of this belief not only among heavy metal, among other musical cultures else (pop, rap, classical, etc.) or even among scholars / scientists also found variations in belief as things mentioned above.
Lyrics - the lyrics are delivered in metal music is more straightforward and widespread, there are about divinity or satanism, ideological, philosophical, nationalism, idealism, war, peace, apocalyptic, futurism, social critique of politics, love, paganism, mythology, secular, positivism lyrics, negativism lyrics, things - things that absurd or not occurred in the public eye glass, and so forth.
The title song or lyrics in metal music is not necessarily meaningful negative, the musicians Indonesia, for example, Nicky Astria with the title song hands - the hands of Satan, God Bless the Devil Laughed, Boomerang Hell Hell, Jamrud with Satan 666, accompanied by a picture - a picture or poster album cover that seems intimidating, but it turns out in the lyrics contain a positive message and not devil worship. So do not a priori first when viewing the titles or lyrics that appear to be so, the meaning of a song must be understood first. Except if indeed contain elements - powerful demonic elements such as lyrics / word - the word "Hail to Satan" or "Glorify the Name of Satan" and so on, then (for me) is to be avoided such songs. But belief is a private matter of the audience, each - each already have a filter (strainer) to sort - out which ones to follow and which ones are not, or are just a part of show business strategies (showbizz). == Back to the concept that music is just music ==
5. Sensational.
In show business (showbizz), the sensation is one weapon to retain popularity, the goal is definitely to boost the coffers - pot of money for the musicians. There are many sensations demonstrated by musicians ranging from vandalism to sensual indulgence.
Sensation is also part of the show heavy metal, among which is to destroy or burn the instrument when the concert, the stage action and look extreme, using a mask or graffiti - graffiti face, a fraction there is extreme as well as drinking the blood of animals or bring the animal to the stage , create symbols or iconic character, down to the stage from a helicopter, and much more sensational action for the sake of perpetuating the popularity. Is that sensation was related to the belief / certain spirits or just a part of show business (showbizz)? Please argued own.
6. Distribution of emotion and energy.
Some menggangap metal musicians play metal music is as a means of venting emotions, in addition to the achievement of life satisfaction. With the drum beat, bass membetot, menggeranyangi keyboard, and tearing - apart guitars, stomping - tapping head (headbanging), it seems like all the burden off smoking for a while, reduce the desire vandalism and anarchism on the younger generation. Most of the facts shows the antithesis of many lovers of heavy metal that was more love and peace in their daily clever in dampening negative emotions (although not always the case). == Back to the concept that music is just music ==
7. Exploration Musicality, Skills, Techniques, and Sound.
As the flow of other music, the flow of heavy metal also produces a lot of warriors - warriors music (shredder), produce a lot of sub-genres (sub stream), ability (skill) music in the above - average, and find a lot of techniques in the exploration of musical instruments and sound. In fact there are opinions, hands metal musicians, musical equipment if - would be "raped all - out".

While powerchord are two tones (or a maximum of 3 tones) that are played simultaneously. Powerchord is very well known on the electric guitar metal music, generally played was a fundamental tone / rootnote (do) and fifth tones (sol) and sometimes (but rarely) eighth tone (Do) as well. Powerchord the lowest octave produces the characteristic sound that is bold, powerful and severe.
In fact, powerchord E (E5) is a key foundation of the most preferred to start the music metal (although not all), as well as to produce a heavy sound character, also allows the finger to produce riff and lick varied and attractive. Even so berniatnya produce heavy sound, many metal guitarists who drop drop D tuning such as E or E drop C.

11. Icon Products / Endorsement Musician most.
The ability of metal musicians play and explore musical instruments up to extreme levels (or a minimum of charisma as a musician) led many companies to oust their musical instruments in the Endorsement Musician as an icon of a product.
Product musical instruments used by the musicians endorse these are generally made based on the criteria and specifications of the desired instrument the musician and their technicians, so we know the term Signature Series instruments for the musicians and also mass produced.

13. Concert (live show) More Preferred.
In addition to album sales, multiply concert - a concert or a music festival is a survival mechanism for metal musicians. Sales of albums may sag in the market, but it can be covered with the roadshow, let alone concerts around the country (domestic) or around the world. Indie label bands and musicians in general are more focused to the concert.
The Big Four are Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer

Concerts in addition to survive, it is also the way to express the ideals of music and their stage act to the fans of metal (metalheads) directly.
14. Anti lipsing.

16. Music for interrogation.
In the military world, there are a few music created specifically for mental suppress someone who is being questioned, ranging from classical music wrenching - slashing or music with sounds - sounds strange (you can find on Youtube).
