Heavy Metal And related Genres
	What exactly is the metal genre nowadays? It appears to have originated as "Heavy Metal" I guess - from "Progressive" or "Prog", with in some cases "screamed" vocals. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath could be cited as early examples, the latter with more insistent and modulated type guitar work - Like "Paranoid" for instance
This page is currently not linked FROM the website at present, but you can get TO the site from it. Other bands Jesse mentioned also appear. Most of the links are on MySpace etc. Bands seem not to opt for individual sites these days!

Heavy Metal - Death Metal -Black Metal -Thash Metal - Speed Metal - Glam Metal - Rap Metal - There are many more! The genre certainly is not Rusty Metal yet!

Links with EMO - like the scream vocal style. Also links with punk (obviously) and Goth.

Current bands. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden Metallica and others still continue. It even hit Eurovison! Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir Blind Guardian and HammerFall are all European examples. It is particularly strong in Scandinavia and Germany.

Most of the links here are from Jesse, 18 in Baltimore USA who is a big fan of the genre. Beckonsale are c/o a colleague.

History - Guess it dates back to advanced electric guitar playing - effects pedals etc. Blues Rock and Psychedelic rock were early terms used.

Early bands. The kinks, The Who, Alice Cooper, The Spiders, Cream, Golden Earring, Led Zeppelin

All Time Low Wiki Page.	Also from Maryland - Example is not "Heavy"	Try "Damned if I Do ya (Damned if I don't)"
American Diary Also from Maryland.	Very sound trio - They have also gone down very well in Japan. Blink 182 are an obvious influence.

Until All ends [RIP] Seems like they have separated? Notes at the site suggest possible side projects.
