Being opposed to Christianity means being opposed to all of its magical, mythical, bs, which would mean the Devil also. Only Christians believe in and or worship "the Devil" because nobody else believes in the Devil. Great music video; thanks for posting! Peace & love!
Bro, how are you not going to give Motorhead their due? Lemmy is the godfather of Metal. Starting in 1975, Motorhead was the band that meshed the Hard Rock sound of Sabbath with the speed and grittiness of punk. They literally invented Metal as a genre as a whole...

@@Selrisitai Hi Sel! Last week on a different radio station I won a 2 tickets to a Foo Fighters concert....I gave them to a relative! Please have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🌳🎄 ☃️ 🏡🏘🏡 🎄🌳🎄. 😎. Stay safe out there!
Back in the 90s, when we had an actual Heavy Metal club in town (I miss you, Mad Max, with your ramshackle interior comprimising of old subway trains and even a helicopter weck) the DJ played the Ofra Haza version of Sisters of Mercy's Temple of Love and the DJ was giving away a bottle of champagene if somebody could name him the year. After some tiome I just stepped up to him, while kids yelled years at him, he looked at me and I was: "92, du'h" and he handed me the bottle.
There are a few notable omissions but I really can’t get mad, or even annoyed because this dude covered 19 genres, if I counted right, and accurately portrayed all of them. Fucking Bravo
Definitely, the history was accurate and the explanation of the genres seems easy to understand to novices/non musicians. Stoner/doom/sludge 's absence definitely hurt tho lol
I felt that Iron Maiden and Van Halen not being present was a bit odd. Perhaps Iron Maiden wasn't as formative as I thought, but Van Halen definitely definitely ushered in a new era of guitar solos.
@@tlkuvic Iron Maiden, Van Halen, and no Rush which defined the "power metal" category 10 years before the dating in this vid. Van Halen also was 10 years before and defined the sound of Hair Metal. And dude, I'm not really a metal guy, just been around a while.
The lo-fi dedication for the Norwegian black metal track was impressive. Also unironically loved it, I would really like to hear that one explored further
@@rockout55551 Speed metal is an off-shoot of classic metal, and predates thrash metal. It was when bands wanted to take classic metal into a faster, rawer direction. ruclips.net/video/thrAFv1p3WU/видео.html
Andrea Boma Boccarusso should have named the video "The Guitar Evolution of Metal." He also forgot Machinegun and Voodoo Chile (slight return). Sad, so many people forget HENDRIX. How? I have no idea; too young, I guess. This was a great music video, nonetheless!
@@Crazimir discharge is nowhere near my favorite band but the most common drum beat in punk is named after them so maybe don't fucking talk if you're stupid.
@@CrazimirDischarge was one of the most influential bands in the Hardcore scene and was important to the development of Thrash metal. Go ask James Hetfield.
This was neat. I'm an old man metalhead and could never keep all of the sub-genres straight. The constant arguing about it always kept me from wanting to try. You explained it so this old man could understand :)
It's just like any other genre, people will always argue and come up with genre's the bands themselves don't agree with. All it really is good for is trying to find bands with similar sounds.
Groove metal began in '86 with Exhorder, Phil from Pantera was not only a fan of them, but also a member of the band for about 4 hours in '87, pantera were doing power metal at the time, but Phil managed to get the rest of Pantera listening to them and they changed their style.
@@herickhammerMeshuggah also had a groove phase, from the None EP to the Chaosphere album. Destroy, Erase, Improve in particular is a progressive groove metal gem.
@@christopherbaca1342 all of those riffs are created by himself, yeah it's an original composition, he's not playing some other established songs as examples.
Actually the two bands credited for the advent of Djent in mainstream music are Meshuggah and Sikth. Dunno why everyone forgets Sikth; they’re criminally underrated and under appreciated.
Managed to talk about the history of metal in a practical way, as there are many ramifications, congratulations! An addendum, if you research the band Sarcófago/Sepultura you will see that they are also at the beginning of Death Metal, not to mention the influence that Sepultura had on Nu-Metal bands, it is a lot. A big hug!
hi-five man, let's give the favourite Sepultura some love, their early works were definitely death metal, but since Beneath the Remains, the music eventually turned to more Thrashy, Groovy. I believe later on, Roots played a huge role on influencing modern Nu-metal bands.
Let’s not forget Sepultura’s earliest material was heavily Slayer inspired. Slayer isn’t my favorite metal band by any stretch, but there is no denying their massive influence on many bands as well. Venom is also heavily underrated and practically spawned the Black Metal subgenre. I’m surprised the album “Black Metal” itself wasn’t listed as the most important to sparking the movement.
@@Cheddar_Wizard Slayer? Nah, Sepultura was super different than Slayer back in the day, Sepultura was more proto death metal and Slayer NWOBHM oriented
@@SamuelSouza-di6nq ... You’re joking, right? Listen to Sepultura’s Morbid Visions, their first record. The Cavalera brothers and Andreas Kisser himself even stated Slayer and Venom as their two primary influences in their sound, and it shows on their first record. Also Slayer was definitely not NWOBHM oriented lmao.
@@Cheddar_Wizard Morbid visions? Haha, no my friend, Sepultura started with Bestial Devastation, compare that shit with Show no mercy and you will see the difference. And Both Iggor e Max (Andreas isn't an original member, it was Jairo Guedz) said their inspirations was Venom ofc, but way more extreme, based in other national bands like Dorsal Atlântica and Sagrado Inferno. And yes, Slayer in the beginning was totally influenced by NWOBHM, they get their contract with Brian Slagel to Metal Blade Records after he see they playing Phantom of Opera of Iron Maiden for example, this is crystal clear. To resume: Sepultura is way more extreme than Slayer since the begining.
Some awesome playing, but two glaring omissions, Motörhead and Van Halen. Motörhead bridged the gap between Punk and Rock creating thrash, speed etc. Van Halen moved musicianship too a new level and could be argued was the fore runner to hair metal. Overall a great video and undeniably fantastic playing.
yeah i thought the exact same thing, how the hell do you talk about the history of metal, without mentioning Speed-Metal and Motörhead once? he even skipped over Van-Halen which insanely big, and Tool, two bands that popularized their respectives sub-genres of metal.
@@Rise65487 van halen technically wasn't metal by any means. Motorhead did bridge the gap but thrash metal quickly replaced speed metal as a term and scene almost insantly.
This is one of the most honest and fair evolutions of metal I've ever seen. It's non biased, and gives honest kudos when needed. Awesome job, wicked playing!
Funk metal was one of those offshoots he mentioned at the end like symphonic. Personally my biggest critic is that there should have been a rock and hard rock segment instead of mixing them together. There are harder Beetles and Who songs sure, but Deep Purple and later acts like say AC/DC and Queen sound entirely different. I'd call Zep, Purple and Sabbath the diverging point between metal and rock, though I agree with the sentiment that Sabbath falls on the metal side and Zep and Purple on the rock side. Even after they become distinct genres there is a lot of cross play between metal and hard rock that can make them hard to distinguish. There is a reason Hair Metal and Glam Rock are treated as synonyms and that whole argument over Alt. Metal.
@@deplorabledegenerate2630 Deep Purple and Ped o Zep were considered metal at the time. In fact in the late eighties, some groups like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were even considered metal.
Metal is such an amazing genre of music. No matter what the subject matter is of the song it’s always conveyed and portrayed perfectly due to metals inherent nature of raw emotion.
This should be an intro video to anyone who wants to understand metal and its origins and influences. I hope you get millions of views. I'll definitely look at more of your videos.
@@philsurtees I am not a rock or metal aficionado and I can't vet what he presented, but could you correct the mistakes you think he made, step by step?
Damn this is probably one of the best crash courses in music evolution. Straigh to the point and some great original tracks that capture the fundamentals of each genre. Well done man 👍
This is absolutely awesome. One small nitpick could be that the text was flying by too fast so I was pausing a lot just to be able to read everything, and that broke the flow of the music. Other than that, this is great. I have a mapofmetal poster, i am obsessed with history of metal and music in general
Another small nitpick was that the text was there at all. I can't stand videos where all the information is in text. You don't need a video for that. Speak FFS.
@Simon Harris I see where you’re coming from, but this video is focused on hearing the subtle differences between metal genres, and spoken word would probably disrupt the musical “flow” that this video has.
If anyone asks me anything about metal, I will direct them to this video. You deserve all the success that's coming to you. And it will come to you, I know it will. Much love from the UK \m/
I used to say you are one of the best guitarists I have heard. Now I have to take that back. You are one of the best musicians I have ever heard. assolutamente bellissimo amico mio!
My one and only gripe with this video is the lack of mention of Motörhead. I feel as if leaving them out is a major link between the punk to thrash metal pipeline. But other than that this was such a great video and really did detail in an extensive way the timeline and progression of metal music as a whole.
1979 to 1982 that "speed metal"/proto- thrash sound was they key element that made the deal for the thrash scene to flourish. Also, it was important to differentiate the American/bay area thrash scene from the Germanic one
The trouble with Motorhead is that they never considered themselves a metal band, they always considered themselves hard rock/rock and roll band and did not want credit for anything to do with metal.
you are awesome man, this video should be considered as a documentary i would suggest. i am a slayer fan(id prefer any slayer album instead of metallica), but i may have missed the part `tool` takes place which made me this video watch twice. anyway, good work man.
I would certainly mention Tool, A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains as alternative metal acts. And besides that, I must say my favorite metal concept is post-metal. I adore Russian Circles and some songs by Isis. Amazing stuff, really!
I was surprised to read at the end that you composed music of each style yourself. That's pretty near, most would cover a sample from an important album but you took it a step further and I love that
That was absolutely awesome! But I have two little remarks of things I was missing: 1. Grunge as a whole genre. 2. Rammstein and NIN as representatives of Industrial Metal.
Yip grunge being the biggest musical phenomenon to hit the mainstream in the early 90s...which spawned stoner rock etc...and yes industrial rock deserves a mention
Apologies for finding this most impressive video only now, especially when being a metalhead since I discovered "Killers" in 1981 and found this to be my new way into music. Working as an Executive Producer for a film production company, I even more appreciate the level of skills beside the musical part. Especially the editing is excellent, congratulations. And I really do love all the music you created to be able and cover the whole, long and complex history of Heavy Metal. Extremely well done, Andrea! Three thumbs up...
Great video! I would just include Sepultura and Sarcofago as precursors of so many metal genres such as: Death Metal, 2nd wave of black metal and even groove metal. Great video!
No groove at all, but I like how he laid out progression of style instead of following the timeline. Because if he did, then we won't have either punk or hardcore and jump from doom directly to grindcore. However, proto-metal and a few important subgenres were missed completely... e.g. Rammstein etc. are actually post-industrial, as Die Krupps rendition of One (by metallica and all the way to Fear Factory was all about metallizing it with Thrash, but Godflesh (1988 release where Justin Broadrick had recently parted ways with Napalm Death) sounds like initial Industrial.
I don’t normally comment but this was just…wow. So representative and tastefully done. So intelligent and just spot on. Amazing stuff man. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these vids. Excellent!
I really enjoyed this video, and I appreciate that for length, some details simply had to be sacrificed. If I may offer: 1. (the more minor one) The industrial metal, I believe, came significantly earlier than 1995; by 1989 the genre was alive and kicking. It reached more mainstream audiences already and was really past its peak by 1995 when KMFDM and Ministry reached their pinnacles. 2. I feel like you skipped an entire generation between the 1950s and 1960s, going straight from 1950s Chuck Berry straight into the more late 60s rock like Zeppelin and Deep Purple, skipping entirely over the early 60s British invasion music of the Kinks, early Who, etc. Well-presented and enjoyable. Thanks!
I miss some of my favorites (The video was amazing! Respect the creator! Wow!): Melodic deathmetal: Arch Enemy, In Flames, Scar Symmetry, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Soilwork, Amon Amarth Folk metal: Finntroll, In Extremo, Korpiklaani, Eluveite, Wardruna, The HU, Aelstorm,
Yeah, thought the same thing, omitting what is probably the biggest subgenre of the last 25 years (maybe outside of Nu in the early 00's) that just keeps going strong is kinda weird.
What's crazy is how people who love: Heavy Metal, Hardcore Punk, NWOBHM, Thrash MEtal, tend to like other genres as well, and then suddenly, you see it divide into two paths. Black/Death/Progressive vs Power/Thrash/Heavy/Groove. Anti-melodic vs melodic. 80s and 90s was just a golden age of rock music.
It’s usually the death/thrash vs black vs heavy/power/prog Also, if you call black metal not melodic you are just💀 the whole genre is build around melody, compared to the more rhythm centered songs of death and thrash metal.
very impressive how the guys walked through all genres without having played any cover .. very fine authorial work .. a masterpiece .. congratulations to those involved
@@crackalackincamden 1:16 black sabbath: eponymous song, into the void 2:12 ramones: I wanna be sedated, blitzkrieg bop 3:30 Saxon princess of the night 4:12 metallica: battery 5:09 dokken: in my dreams 5:57 death: zombie ritual 7:55 pantera: shattered, mouth for war 9:36 POD: youth of a nation 10:14 gravity kills: guilty
So rare and impressive to see a metal fan who apreciates all sub genres and how the genre has progressed over the years without being an elitist snob. Good job and great playing as well!
Having discerning taste is not the same as being an "elitist snob", personally I don't like nu metal but I can recognize the talent and musicianship involved.
Thanks for an informative history. As someone that grew up through all of this, it brings back good memories. In the end for me it doesn’t matter what others call a genre or style, good music is good music, just like what you like, no need to justify yourself to anyone else…..
This was interesting and educational for us old guys who tuned out decades ago. One note: Printed copy went by a little too fast for me. Otherwise, good video and I wish I had your chops.
i saw overlap. and djent. i'm sorry, it sounds like ai computer generated sludge. meshugah is not djent. their best song "bleed" is not that in the least. they play with time tablature. they do not shriek for no reason.
@@tonyb7615 Are you really convinced Rational Gaze by Meshuggah is not djent? I'd say they spawned the genre without knowing just like Black Sabbath and Heavy Metal.
I feel like one of the most important seminal influences was ignored here: Surf rock! Dick Dale was pretty much the father of heavy metal guitar. You can't do a history of metal without him.
I was looking for this comment, dick dale definitely pushed the boundaries of speed and volume further than almost anyone else in the history of metal, if you put a distortion pedal in front of his amp he’d already have some of the heaviest riffs ever by the mid 50’s! Truly a legend!
This is the best breakdown (no pun intended) of some of these overlapping and often extremely contested subgenres. Thank you for all the time and effort you surely put into this to educate us!
An interesting note is my dad who was a "head", he said that's what they used to call people back then "heads", never really listened to the 70s punk. Neither did anyone he knew. Maybe it was a city thing. He started with sabbath and then they'd go to maiden and priest concerts, UFO, Rush.
True with my dad as well, he loves rock music from the early 60's -70's stuff to some of the more recent bands (rhcp, muse, korn) and he's never showed any sort of interest in punk, like 0 interest, doesn't know any of the band's.
Yes, we didn't look at the punk stuff until a few years after it was a thing. It didn't suit a lot of us. It was amateurish noise that didn't have much content. It was all will. Still doesn't appeal to me. I want to hear the music in the grind, and words with some meaning. One of the newer bunch that got it right imo is Alice in Chains. I also really like Lamb of God and Bullet for my Valentine. I haven't dug into more recent stuff yet. Any suggestions?
No hate, but, in the 70s, head was short for pothead. Head shops were small record stores that sold black light posters, rolling papers, amyl nitrate, and bongs. And they reeked of patchouli, but they sold all the music Kmart and other big chain stores wouldn't touch. I don't know your dad, tho, so I can't say one way or another who he was or is, just my two cents. And, again, there was a LOT of amazing music you could only find in a head shop. Edit - the bands you mentioned were just a few of those "shunned" bands
Punk is relevant as an influence when io consider hardcore punk. Yes, most metalheads hated punk (and rightly so) especially in England. But thrash, death and black metal owe the east-coast punk scene quite a lot. The punks just had to figure out how to get that metronome flying...
Hard Rock + Thrash Metal + Hair Metal + Progressive Metal + Djent = EPICCO Funny enough, "Progressive Metal" already basically does any and all fusions of other subgenres of metal. It is a fusion genre. It takes the energy of metal and moves it around boundlessly. The best acts in the subgenre do this organically and for the sake of the song, rather than just showing off how out-there they can be.
Nice work! There is a lot of other genres and scenes, but it would be a really long video. I personally like Grunge (Nirvana, Alice in Chains), Doom (Candlemass), Pirate (Running Wild) or Speed (Accept, Satan). Sometimes I listen to our czech scene, which I really recommend (Arakain, Root, Master's Hammer, Kabát).
Led Zeppelin recorded “Communication Breakdown” in October 1968. The first recorded song to have muted downstrokes played with distortion for the entire song.
"technical insanity" and "songwriting sensibilities" will be at odds. I find it best to use technique to show off the written music, rather than writing music to show off the technique.
It’s not *quite* what you’re talking about, but a good (imho, purists will disagree) band that combines elements of prog with accessible songwriting is Evergrey.
Ya know, something about Andrea is that not only did he compose all the riffs and licks, but he had a great definition of each genre of rock and metal, including quotes from different musicians. So what I'm trying to say is that this man is extremely intelligent.
Reminds me of how big part metal has played in my life, so many great sub genres. Particularly love Deep Purple, early Metallica, Cradle of Filth, early Dimmu Borgir, Blind Guardian, In Flames, Machine Head, etc
Dude I gotta know the name/inspiration of that second wave black metal song, it sounds absolutely amazing! And if its completely original PLEASE put it on spotify I beg of you
Bravissimo!! Hai ripercorso perfettamente la storia del Rock che mano a mano è mutato nel Metal. Cominciato alle scuole medie con Powerslave, orgoglioso di non essermi fossilizzato e ho vissuto praticamente tutta l'evoluzione che hai indicato fino al Djent. Menzione ad honorem per Facelift, l'album piu metal del Grunge, giusto per citara anche quel genere visto che fu cmq seminale.
È da mezz'ora che sto cercando la canzone che fa a minuto 1:15 ma non trovo niente. Se l'è inventata o esiste veramente? Grazie mille per chi mi aiuterà!
@@TheSkratch92 tutti i pezzi suonati NON sono cover ma riprendono sonorità e riff simili del periodo in questione. a 1:15 sta citando Black Sabbath dei...indovina...Black Sabbath. Ti consiglio, dopo aver ascoltato l'originale, si ascoltarti la versione fatta dai Type o Negative nell'album tributo alla prima vera Metal Band di tutti i tempi.
Some other genres to check out; Doom metal( Saint vitus, Trouble) Stonerrock (Kyuss, Fu manchu) Gothic metal (Type o negative, Paradise lost) Crossover trash(Suicidal tendencies, D.R.I.) Funk metal (Living colour, early Faith no more) Sludge(Melvins, Crowbar)
Amazing video. I am 50 years old and saw the Metal genre evolve right before my eyes. I wasn’t a big fan of Nu Metal at the time but started really enjoying the genre much later on, I would say at least 10 years late. Meshuggah is an amazing band BTW. But I still enjoy old school metal, 80s was amazing in terms of creativity
I wish I could have been around to watch metal grow. I'm 27 and got into heavy metal around 2010 with metal core. These days I'm in to pretty much every kind of metal and find myself really digging the early stuff. I even have an original vinyl copy of black sabbaths first album
@@nwbasson yeah some of it really sucks but I do still genuinely dig some nu metal. Follow the leader was the first heavy album I ever bought as a kid.
The shoutout to helloween was much appreciated. They're a band that started out with melodic thrash influence and slowly progressed to power metal and once they got deris as their 3rd singer along with another great guitarist and being blessed with incredible drummers they found a sound of their own.
Excellent summary. Congratulations. I'm from the Black Sabath and Led Zepellin era and I could understand a little bit the complex evolution of rock thanks to your video and performance.
This was really awesome. I enjoyed this a lot. One notable omission is Motorhead, however I'm not entirely sure what genre to really put them in. For my money, that band is single handedly responsible for most of the genres of metal after the initial punk era and one of the most important bands in metal. Overall this was fantastic. Great work!
@@s3nsec0rruptr80 Lemmy even said something like how he felt they were more kin with punk rock than heavy metal. He despised being called metal when they’re just rock n roll personified
yeah kind of glaring really. to name all the hard core punk bands and act like thrash is a marriage of black flag and maiden or something, and ignore lemmy from the equation...
Wether you like it or not Hair metal helped the metal stay alive in the 80's with some heavy tone killer riffs and amzing solos (Mick Mars, Slash,C.C Deville,Richie sambora...)
I think that you're confusing the 80's with the 90's. Metal was very well and alive in the 80's even without factoring hair metal in. Thrash, Black, and Death Metal were all doing great. It was the 90's when people started to get into Alternative, New Wave Punk, Ska, Grunge, and other genres that were spinoffs of Alternative. Now of course Pantera were making huge waves by then and you did have unique Metal bands like Korn and Deftones that did their own thing, but Metal as a whole was nowhere near as popular in the 90's compared to the 80's.
@@diegozinedine514 Everyone has different tastes mate there's nothing wrong with hair metal and calling people gay makes you look like a child just saying.
I can’t believe he glossed over Van Halen in the hair metal category and linkin park in the nu-metal category Those two bands were arguably some of the biggest mainstream names from their respective genres
I guess he took van halen as a hard rock band not really a metal band, tho they were close to hair metal. idk tbh edit, or he could’ve added hard rock then hair metal then you could add van halen.
And if we talk Van Halen, then we have to mention Quiet Riot. They were the other big name of the LA scene in the 70s and the first hair metal band to reach number 1 on the Billboard charts.
Progressive rock also influenced metal. Even in the 70's, for example Sabbath's sabbath bloody sabbath, sabotage and technical ecstasy records. I think Rush had the major impact on metal bands (and of course yes, king crimson and genesis).
Agreed- some parallel developments too. I think AC/DC started as a parallel to punk, and Iron Maiden mirrored the new British prog of the 80s. Groups like Queensryche, Extreme and even some Pink Floyd (Nile Song, In the Flesh) fall neatly in the middle. Queen doesn't neatly into prog or metal either, but can veer into both.
I know a lot of people here have said it, but that was truly an excellent job of encapsulating each genre nearly perfectly with generic riffs. I’m a punk rock fan and I have to admit, the riff you played sounds like nearly every punk song I’ve ever heard. Bravo!
Seriously great video! A little surprised of the lack of Melodic Death Metal being mentioned given its created some of the best bands ever. Opeth, In Flames, Insomnium, Dark Tranquility, etc.
Bro, que buen video, síntesis de casi seis décadas en solo 10 minutos, con resúmenes claros de cada subgénero incluyendo ejemplares con las bandas y álbumes, y para coronar, audiovisualmente una joya, men, esta información vale millones. Gran trabajo de todo el elenco. Se agradece todo su esfuerzo.
I can't argue with any of this. You nailed it, especially the important album for each genre. I'd think, "Oh, nu metal. Korn's debut album better be the important one named." And it was. Everything I thought of, you called it. Also, excellent playing. Great video.
Crazy that what Introduced me to metal was listening to System of a Down and Korn yet the genre is rejected by most metal bands. Time to accept all genres of metal.
For me, the killer with most power metal bands is the singing. Most power metal bands have phenomenally talented instrumentalists and then just god awful vocalists. The few bands that have good vocalist are some of my all time favorites.
nah not really. most of them have no song writing talent it's honestly difficult to tell one from another. that statement is only true for technical death metal to an extent.
I would say other very important links you heavily missed are Post-Metal, Doom Metal, Drone and Stoner Metal. You can argue Blackgaze is also very important, but it could be lumped under Post-Metal.
Blackgaze is way too sideliney to make a general list like this, there’s at least fifteen other genres that have had more shape and impact before that one in particular.
I definitely think Doom and Stoner get overlooked a lot by other metalheads. Which is shame considering all the great bands its given us like Cathedral, Candlemass, Kyuss, Boris, Church of Misery, Electirc Wizard, Bell Witch, Acid Bath, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, Bongripper, Weedeater, Bongzilla, Sleep, Monolord, etc. Especially since it seems to be going through a sort of underground revival right now.
When Trash Metal came in the video my heart literally missed a beat, when hair metal came I got goosebumps all over my body but when Power Metal came I had tears falling down my cheeks.... This video is perfect!

Back in the 90s, when we had an actual Heavy Metal club in town (I miss you, Mad Max, with your ramshackle interior comprimising of old subway trains and even a helicopter weck) the DJ played the Ofra Haza version of Sisters of Mercy's Temple of Love and the DJ was giving away a bottle of champagene if somebody could name him the year. After some tiome I just stepped up to him, while kids yelled years at him, he looked at me and I was: "92, du'h" and he handed me the bottle.
Few people are so open minded, so good for you, and welcome to the community! \m/

There are a few notable omissions but I really can’t get mad, or even annoyed because this dude covered 19 genres, if I counted right, and accurately portrayed all of them. Fucking Bravo
Definitely, the history was accurate and the explanation of the genres seems easy to understand to novices/non musicians. Stoner/doom/sludge 's absence definitely hurt tho lol
I felt that Iron Maiden and Van Halen not being present was a bit odd. Perhaps Iron Maiden wasn't as formative as I thought, but Van Halen definitely definitely ushered in a new era of guitar solos.
@@tlkuvic Maiden was there
yeah, deep purple -.-
@@tlkuvic Iron Maiden, Van Halen, and no Rush which defined the "power metal" category 10 years before the dating in this vid. Van Halen also was 10 years before and defined the sound of Hair Metal.

This is like taking a walk through a botanical garden of Metal. Look at you all growing together, cross breeding and evolving. It’s glorious
Exactly! But then there's elitists that would make the garden a lot less pretty.

Good job man, your videos keep getting better and better!
Thats so unfair tho this has no vocals.

This was neat. I'm an old man metalhead and could never keep all of the sub-genres straight. The constant arguing about it always kept me from wanting to try. You explained it so this old man could understand :)
It's just like any other genre, people will always argue and come up with genre's the bands themselves don't agree with. All it really is good for is trying to find bands with similar sounds.

Hi. I’m a younger guitarist and I also have had the same frustration about picking a genre to learn.
@@dumpstercat2229 just play what you like man. Who cares if anyone else likes it? Music is free expression. Express yourself.
There once was a great band called Moray Eel. Can`t define genre at all.
Groove metal began in '86 with Exhorder, Phil from Pantera was not only a fan of them, but also a member of the band for about 4 hours in '87, pantera were doing power metal at the time, but Phil managed to get the rest of Pantera listening to them and they changed their style.
It would be cool to mention the sepultura groove metal phase too with Chaos Ad and Roots in the 90s

Outstanding work. Moreover, you wrote appropriate riffs for each "genre." Keep slaying it.
Actually the two bands credited for the advent of Djent in mainstream music are Meshuggah and Sikth. Dunno why everyone forgets Sikth; they’re criminally underrated and under appreciated.
I'll go and listen to it right now
Managed to talk about the history of metal in a practical way, as there are many ramifications, congratulations! An addendum, if you research the band Sarcófago/Sepultura you will see that they are also at the beginning of Death Metal, not to mention the influence that Sepultura had on Nu-Metal bands, it is a lot. A big hug!
hi-five man, let's give the favourite Sepultura some love, their early works were definitely death metal, but since Beneath the Remains, the music eventually turned to more Thrashy, Groovy. I believe later on, Roots played a huge role on influencing modern Nu-metal bands.
Let’s not forget Sepultura’s earliest material was heavily Slayer inspired. Slayer isn’t my favorite metal band by any stretch, but there is no denying their massive influence on many bands as well. Venom is also heavily underrated and practically spawned the Black Metal subgenre. I’m surprised the album “Black Metal” itself wasn’t listed as the most important to sparking the movement.
@@Cheddar_Wizard
Slayer? Nah, Sepultura was super different than Slayer back in the day, Sepultura was more proto death metal and Slayer NWOBHM oriented
@@SamuelSouza-di6nq ... You’re joking, right? Listen to Sepultura’s Morbid Visions, their first record. The Cavalera brothers and Andreas Kisser himself even stated Slayer and Venom as their two primary influences in their sound, and it shows on their first record. Also Slayer was definitely not NWOBHM oriented lmao.
@@Cheddar_Wizard
Morbid visions? Haha, no my friend, Sepultura started with Bestial Devastation, compare that shit with Show no mercy and you will see the difference.
And Both Iggor e Max (Andreas isn't an original member, it was Jairo Guedz) said their inspirations was Venom ofc, but way more extreme, based in other national bands like Dorsal Atlântica and Sagrado Inferno.
And yes, Slayer in the beginning was totally influenced by NWOBHM, they get their contract with Brian Slagel to Metal Blade Records after he see they playing Phantom of Opera of Iron Maiden for example, this is crystal clear.
To resume: Sepultura is way more extreme than Slayer since the begining.
Some awesome playing, but two glaring omissions, Motörhead and Van Halen. Motörhead bridged the gap between Punk and Rock creating thrash, speed etc. Van Halen moved musicianship too a new level and could be argued was the fore runner to hair metal.
Overall a great video and undeniably fantastic playing.

ruclips.net/video/yReQ952Xiqk/видео.html
yeah i thought the exact same thing, how the hell do you talk about the history of metal, without mentioning Speed-Metal and Motörhead once?
he even skipped over Van-Halen which insanely big, and Tool, two bands that popularized their respectives sub-genres of metal.
@@Rise65487 van halen technically wasn't metal by any means. Motorhead did bridge the gap but thrash metal quickly replaced speed metal as a term and scene almost insantly.
Van Halen not only upped ante for technique and sounds, but EVH was hugely responsible in the area of heavy tone and equipment.
Yeah, the complete omission of speed metal is a bit odd.
4:10 every now and then I come back to listen to this badass riff! It has all the Thrash goodness, super tight playing and amazing tone!
Definitely heavily inspired by Metallica's 'Battery'. Even the solo begins the same way haha. It is a great riff regardless.

Most generic shit ever 😂
Those last three chugs at the end of progressive metal was critical. Random, unexpected time change for seemingly no reason at all. Love it
This is one of the most honest and fair evolutions of metal I've ever seen. It's non biased, and gives honest kudos when needed. Awesome job, wicked playing!
Could have done with funk metal - Chillis, Extreme, Faith No More, but thst's about my only criticism.
@@thursoberwick1948 I agree , But Chili's don't fit there. You want to talk Funk Metal then Infectious Grooves & Fishbone have to be up front.
@@sgildea4215 Fishbone are okay... I think the Chillis can verge into metal. The first four or five albums anyway.
Funk metal was one of those offshoots he mentioned at the end like symphonic. Personally my biggest critic is that there should have been a rock and hard rock segment instead of mixing them together. There are harder Beetles and Who songs sure, but Deep Purple and later acts like say AC/DC and Queen sound entirely different.
I'd call Zep, Purple and Sabbath the diverging point between metal and rock, though I agree with the sentiment that Sabbath falls on the metal side and Zep and Purple on the rock side.
Even after they become distinct genres there is a lot of cross play between metal and hard rock that can make them hard to distinguish. There is a reason Hair Metal and Glam Rock are treated as synonyms and that whole argument over Alt. Metal.
@@deplorabledegenerate2630 Deep Purple and Ped o Zep were considered metal at the time. In fact in the late eighties, some groups like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were even considered metal.
Metal is such an amazing genre of music. No matter what the subject matter is of the song it’s always conveyed and portrayed perfectly due to metals inherent nature of raw emotion.
This should be an intro video to anyone who wants to understand metal and its origins and influences. I hope you get millions of views. I'll definitely look at more of your videos.
man im so glad i came across this video, its cool to learn about the evolution of metal and rock and i’ve definitely learnt stuff from watching this

This is absolutely awesome. One small nitpick could be that the text was flying by too fast so I was pausing a lot just to be able to read everything, and that broke the flow of the music. Other than that, this is great. I have a mapofmetal poster, i am obsessed with history of metal and music in general

@@andyappleton3353 So did I

@Simon Harris I see where you’re coming from, but this video is focused on hearing the subtle differences between metal genres, and spoken word would probably disrupt the musical “flow” that this video has.

I used to say you are one of the best guitarists I have heard. Now I have to take that back.
You are one of the best musicians I have ever heard.
assolutamente bellissimo amico mio!
My one and only gripe with this video is the lack of mention of Motörhead. I feel as if leaving them out is a major link between the punk to thrash metal pipeline. But other than that this was such a great video and really did detail in an extensive way the timeline and progression of metal music as a whole.
yo this fucking guy didn't mention Motorhead? What the fuck? Lmao
True dat
1979 to 1982 that "speed metal"/proto- thrash sound was they key element that made the deal for the thrash scene to flourish. Also, it was important to differentiate the American/bay area thrash scene from the Germanic one
@@andresarguelles6507 not mentioning at least Kreator.
The trouble with Motorhead is that they never considered themselves a metal band, they always considered themselves hard rock/rock and roll band and did not want credit for anything to do with metal.
you are awesome man, this video should be considered as a documentary i would suggest.
i am a slayer fan(id prefer any slayer album instead of metallica), but i may have missed the part `tool` takes place which made me this video watch twice.

I would certainly mention Tool, A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains as alternative metal acts.
And besides that, I must say my favorite metal concept is post-metal.
I adore Russian Circles and some songs by Isis. Amazing stuff, really!
Tool utilizes difficult time signatures. That alone keeps them in my forethought.
That as well as Cynic for prog metal scene, their album focus is pretty widely regarded as a starting point for the genre.
Isis is a terrorist group bro
Was surprised by Tool not being mentioned in the Prog Metal, nor Opeth.
Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were grunge.
AIC is usually classed as Grunge, which is basically West Coast American Sabbath dipped in heroin.
I was surprised to read at the end that you composed music of each style yourself. That's pretty near, most would cover a sample from an important album but you took it a step further and I love that
That was absolutely awesome! But I have two little remarks of things I was missing: 1. Grunge as a whole genre. 2. Rammstein and NIN as representatives of Industrial Metal.
Also Glam metal and band Kiss
Rammstein is there though (10.21) 🙂. But yes, NIN also seminal for Industrial.
Also Stoner and Doom Metal
Yip grunge being the biggest musical phenomenon to hit the mainstream in the early 90s...which spawned stoner rock etc...and yes industrial rock deserves a mention
Brutal Deathmetal and Grindcore...
This just confirms that I am a metal fan in general
?
@@greenmaster6688 he means he listens to most, if not all, genres listed in this video
Apologies for finding this most impressive video only now, especially when being a metalhead since I discovered "Killers" in 1981 and found this to be my new way into music.
Working as an Executive Producer for a film production company, I even more appreciate the level of skills beside the musical part.
Especially the editing is excellent, congratulations.
And I really do love all the music you created to be able and cover the whole, long and complex history of Heavy Metal.
Extremely well done, Andrea!
Three thumbs up...
Great video! I would just include Sepultura and Sarcofago as precursors of so many metal genres such as: Death Metal, 2nd wave of black metal and even groove metal. Great video!
No groove at all, but I like how he laid out progression of style instead of following the timeline. Because if he did, then we won't have either punk or hardcore and jump from doom directly to grindcore. However, proto-metal and a few important subgenres were missed completely... e.g. Rammstein etc. are actually post-industrial, as Die Krupps rendition of One (by metallica and all the way to Fear Factory was all about metallizing it with Thrash, but Godflesh (1988 release where Justin Broadrick had recently parted ways with Napalm Death) sounds like initial Industrial.
I don’t normally comment but this was just…wow. So representative and tastefully done. So intelligent and just spot on. Amazing stuff man. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these vids. Excellent!
Your tone for the hair metal was godlike!
No joke is that an original or is it a cover cause I need the full thing.
@@Noseiwaj14 It's a very loose cover of In My Dreams by Dokken
You have hit the centre of all those genres. I'm a metal fan for 20 years now and this video is accurate, informative and fun.
I really enjoyed this video, and I appreciate that for length, some details simply had to be sacrificed. If I may offer:
1. (the more minor one) The industrial metal, I believe, came significantly earlier than 1995; by 1989 the genre was alive and kicking. It reached more mainstream audiences already and was really past its peak by 1995 when KMFDM and Ministry reached their pinnacles.
2. I feel like you skipped an entire generation between the 1950s and 1960s, going straight from 1950s Chuck Berry straight into the more late 60s rock like Zeppelin and Deep Purple, skipping entirely over the early 60s British invasion music of the Kinks, early Who, etc.
Well-presented and enjoyable. Thanks!
I like how he lists each important album to the sound of that Era. Nice
I miss some of my favorites (The video was amazing! Respect the creator! Wow!):
Melodic deathmetal: Arch Enemy, In Flames, Scar Symmetry, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Soilwork, Amon Amarth
Folk metal: Finntroll, In Extremo, Korpiklaani, Eluveite, Wardruna, The HU, Aelstorm,
"The Jester Race" and "The Red in the Sky is ours" top!
Totally agreed. There is a lack of some important genres like doom, gothic or symphonic metal.
Yeah, thought the same thing, omitting what is probably the biggest subgenre of the last 25 years (maybe outside of Nu in the early 00's) that just keeps going strong is kinda weird.
Its a shame In flames quit music after clayman and never released anything else.*puts fingers in ears*
I came here to type your exact comment. Don't forget Children of Bodom.
1:15 that sounds like "Black Sabbath" mixed with "ritual zombie". Sounds great.
What's the name of the song?
What's crazy is how people who love: Heavy Metal, Hardcore Punk, NWOBHM, Thrash MEtal, tend to like other genres as well, and then suddenly, you see it divide into two paths. Black/Death/Progressive vs Power/Thrash/Heavy/Groove. Anti-melodic vs melodic. 80s and 90s was just a golden age of rock music.
It’s usually the death/thrash vs black vs heavy/power/prog
Also, if you call black metal not melodic you are just💀 the whole genre is build around melody, compared to the more rhythm centered songs of death and thrash metal.
very impressive how the guys walked through all genres without having played any cover .. very fine authorial work .. a masterpiece .. congratulations to those involved

We should be grateful that we managed to see and hear the work of an extremely talented, versatile and creative man - Andrea Boma Boccarusso.
I feel like one of the most important seminal influences was ignored here: Surf rock!
Dick Dale was pretty much the father of heavy metal guitar. You can't do a history of metal without him.
I was looking for this comment, dick dale definitely pushed the boundaries of speed and volume further than almost anyone else in the history of metal, if you put a distortion pedal in front of his amp he’d already have some of the heaviest riffs ever by the mid 50’s! Truly a legend!
Dick Dale turned guitar picks to dust with his picking style. He should edit some surf rock in for sure but the video was great otherwise.
For real if you listen to alot of Old school death metal from Finland and Sweden most bands use the Tremolo picking and have pretty groovy riffs
Surf Rock literally is black metal but with christian white guys and clean guitars.
It's in history of rock
This is the best breakdown (no pun intended) of some of these overlapping and often extremely contested subgenres. Thank you for all the time and effort you surely put into this to educate us!
An interesting note is my dad who was a "head", he said that's what they used to call people back then "heads", never really listened to the 70s punk. Neither did anyone he knew. Maybe it was a city thing. He started with sabbath and then they'd go to maiden and priest concerts, UFO, Rush.
True with my dad as well, he loves rock music from the early 60's -70's stuff to some of the more recent bands (rhcp, muse, korn) and he's never showed any sort of interest in punk, like 0 interest, doesn't know any of the band's.
Yes, we didn't look at the punk stuff until a few years after it was a thing. It didn't suit a lot of us. It was amateurish noise that didn't have much content. It was all will.
Still doesn't appeal to me. I want to hear the music in the grind, and words with some meaning.
One of the newer bunch that got it right imo is Alice in Chains.
I also really like Lamb of God and Bullet for my Valentine.
I haven't dug into more recent stuff yet.
Any suggestions?
No hate, but, in the 70s, head was short for pothead.
Head shops were small record stores that sold black light posters, rolling papers, amyl nitrate, and bongs. And they reeked of patchouli, but they sold all the music Kmart and other big chain stores wouldn't touch.
I don't know your dad, tho, so I can't say one way or another who he was or is, just my two cents.
And, again, there was a LOT of amazing music you could only find in a head shop.
Edit - the bands you mentioned were just a few of those "shunned" bands
Punk is relevant as an influence when io consider hardcore punk. Yes, most metalheads hated punk (and rightly so) especially in England. But thrash, death and black metal owe the east-coast punk scene quite a lot. The punks just had to figure out how to get that metronome flying...
I hate punk but thrash, my favourite genre, owes a lot to it.
Didn’t realize I liked metal more than I thought, unless it was just the way you played. We’ll never know until you put out an album💯
I tend to like metal more when there aren't vocals. Maybe that's why I was able to watch this whole thing without a break ;)
Hard Rock + Thrash Metal + Hair Metal + Progressive Metal + Djent = EPICCO
Funny enough, "Progressive Metal" already basically does any and all fusions of other subgenres of metal. It is a fusion genre. It takes the energy of metal and moves it around boundlessly. The best acts in the subgenre do this organically and for the sake of the song, rather than just showing off how out-there they can be.
Nice work! There is a lot of other genres and scenes, but it would be a really long video. I personally like Grunge (Nirvana, Alice in Chains), Doom (Candlemass), Pirate (Running Wild) or Speed (Accept, Satan). Sometimes I listen to our czech scene, which I really recommend (Arakain, Root, Master's Hammer, Kabát).
YES FOR PIRATE METAL!!! Wind rose when not LARPing Dwarves, Alestorm, a syrprisingly good genre (if a bit tounge in cheek)
Yes to doom and yes to each country’s metal scene
Also swedish death-metal (Entombed, Dismember, Carnage, Grave), some strange mixes as Voivod or Atheist etc.
Nirvana is punk rock Alice in chains is prog metal
Stoner/ desert metal 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Man... combining Djent technical insanity with 80s hair metal songwriting sensibilities may create the most beast and awesome genre not yet seen.
"technical insanity" and "songwriting sensibilities" will be at odds. I find it best to use technique to show off the written music, rather than writing music to show off the technique.

So what I'm trying to say is that this man is extremely intelligent.
Reminds me of how big part metal has played in my life, so many great sub genres. Particularly love Deep Purple, early Metallica, Cradle of Filth, early Dimmu Borgir, Blind Guardian, In Flames, Machine Head, etc

Menzione ad honorem per Facelift, l'album piu metal del Grunge, giusto per citara anche quel genere visto che fu cmq seminale.
È da mezz'ora che sto cercando la canzone che fa a minuto 1:15 ma non trovo niente. Se l'è inventata o esiste veramente? Grazie mille per chi mi aiuterà!
@@TheSkratch92 tutti i pezzi suonati NON sono cover ma riprendono sonorità e riff simili del periodo in questione.
a 1:15 sta citando Black Sabbath dei...indovina...Black Sabbath.
Ti consiglio, dopo aver ascoltato l'originale, si ascoltarti la versione fatta dai Type o Negative nell'album tributo alla prima vera Metal Band di tutti i tempi.
@@passoborgo assolutamente ascolterò il tuo consiglio! Grazie mille :D
Even the tones and mixes sound authentic to their time period. very impressive
That second wave black metal melodic guitar was beautiful. I want to hear more of it
whats name that song bro?
from mayhem i know but i dont know the name song
Some other genres to check out; Doom metal( Saint vitus, Trouble) Stonerrock (Kyuss, Fu manchu) Gothic metal (Type o negative, Paradise lost) Crossover trash(Suicidal tendencies, D.R.I.) Funk metal (Living colour, early Faith no more) Sludge(Melvins, Crowbar)
In funk metal I'll replace Faith No More with Mordred
Wouldn't Paradise Lost be considered Doom, at least their older stuff?
i think hes covering all the major genres, there are lots of sub-genres, i was thinking wheres the post and pre stuff, so yeah
grind dude grind XD
Also, there is Voivod (Voivod).
Amazing video. I am 50 years old and saw the Metal genre evolve right before my eyes. I wasn’t a big fan of Nu Metal at the time but started really enjoying the genre much later on, I would say at least 10 years late. Meshuggah is an amazing band BTW. But I still enjoy old school metal, 80s was amazing in terms of creativity
I wish I could have been around to watch metal grow. I'm 27 and got into heavy metal around 2010 with metal core. These days I'm in to pretty much every kind of metal and find myself really digging the early stuff. I even have an original vinyl copy of black sabbaths first album
Man, there was some terrible Nu Metal I listened to back in the day. Like wtf was I thinking buying those CDs 😂
@@nwbasson yeah some of it really sucks but I do still genuinely dig some nu metal. Follow the leader was the first heavy album I ever bought as a kid.
Korn is great, but there were some other bands...
@@nwbasson I can definitely agree on that 🤣 I've always been a bit of a limp bizkit hater haha
The shoutout to helloween was much appreciated. They're a band that started out with melodic thrash influence and slowly progressed to power metal and once they got deris as their 3rd singer along with another great guitarist and being blessed with incredible drummers they found a sound of their own.
Низкий поклон тебе, парень. Огромное спасибо. Я, будто бы, снова жизнь прожил.
Excellent summary. Congratulations. I'm from the Black Sabath and Led Zepellin era and I could understand a little bit the complex evolution of rock thanks to your video and performance.
This was really awesome. I enjoyed this a lot. One notable omission is Motorhead, however I'm not entirely sure what genre to really put them in. For my money, that band is single handedly responsible for most of the genres of metal after the initial punk era and one of the most important bands in metal. Overall this was fantastic. Great work!
According to what Lemmy described the band as, "rock and roll"
@@s3nsec0rruptr80 Lemmy even said something like how he felt they were more kin with punk rock than heavy metal. He despised being called metal when they’re just rock n roll personified
Motorhead es evidentemente el precursor del trash metal...
Un saludo desde Madrid!!!
Phil's double-bass was basically the invention of thrash
yeah kind of glaring really. to name all the hard core punk bands and act like thrash is a marriage of black flag and maiden or something, and ignore lemmy from the equation...
Wether you like it or not Hair metal helped the metal stay alive in the 80's with some heavy tone killer riffs and amzing solos (Mick Mars, Slash,C.C Deville,Richie sambora...)
I think that you're confusing the 80's with the 90's. Metal was very well and alive in the 80's even without factoring hair metal in. Thrash, Black, and Death Metal were all doing great. It was the 90's when people started to get into Alternative, New Wave Punk, Ska, Grunge, and other genres that were spinoffs of Alternative. Now of course Pantera were making huge waves by then and you did have unique Metal bands like Korn and Deftones that did their own thing, but Metal as a whole was nowhere near as popular in the 90's compared to the 80's.
Death and black kept metal alive in the 90s. You're confusing commercial success with artistry.
Mate, thrash ruled the 80s, even in 90s other genre besides thrash is thriving, hair metal just plain gay, like you lol
@@diegozinedine514 Everyone has different tastes mate there's nothing wrong with hair metal and calling people gay makes you look like a child just saying.
I love Hair Metal, tbh. I love pretty much all genres.
I NEED a full version of the Norwegian black metal part!
I can’t believe he glossed over Van Halen in the hair metal category and linkin park in the nu-metal category
Those two bands were arguably some of the biggest mainstream names from their respective genres
I thought the same thing, but he made such a good job in this video that we can forget that
I guess he took van halen as a hard rock band not really a metal band, tho they were close to hair metal. idk tbh
edit, or he could’ve added hard rock then hair metal then you could add van halen.
You could also say KISS laid the foundations for Hair Metal, but without being "metal".
@@mohamedak2648 ohhhh very good point, i’ve never realized that
And if we talk Van Halen, then we have to mention Quiet Riot. They were the other big name of the LA scene in the 70s and the first hair metal band to reach number 1 on the Billboard charts.
7:02 For best experience, use 144p resolution.
If had a penny for each pixel, i'd have a dime
Progressive rock also influenced metal.
Even in the 70's, for example Sabbath's sabbath bloody sabbath, sabotage and technical ecstasy records.
I think Rush had the major impact on metal bands (and of course yes, king crimson and genesis).
Totally agree was a major influence especially with concept albums. Also a lot of band like Discharge, the damned and rainbow
Agreed- some parallel developments too. I think AC/DC started as a parallel to punk, and Iron Maiden mirrored the new British prog of the 80s.
Groups like Queensryche, Extreme and even some Pink Floyd (Nile Song, In the Flesh) fall neatly in the middle. Queen doesn't neatly into prog or metal either, but can veer into both.
Rush was the first Heavy Metal Progressive Band... ( 2112 ).
Brilliant vidoe, all the way! Explanations, playing, composition, recording, mixing, editing, mastering. Awesome work, bravo!
9:17 everything very well done and amazing, but man, where is my favorite band forever? Faith No More, they are the progenitors of Alternative Metal!!
I know a lot of people here have said it, but that was truly an excellent job of encapsulating each genre nearly perfectly with generic riffs. I’m a punk rock fan and I have to admit, the riff you played sounds like nearly every punk song I’ve ever heard. Bravo!
Seriously great video! A little surprised of the lack of Melodic Death Metal being mentioned given its created some of the best bands ever. Opeth, In Flames, Insomnium, Dark Tranquility, etc.
Exact same thought I had after watching this!
Same here, also wrote a post about the exact same thing before seeing your post (and mentioning some of the same bands as you too). 😅
Very surprised it was totally left out.
Don't forget At The Gates.
Carcass
Bro, que buen video, síntesis de casi seis décadas en solo 10 minutos, con resúmenes claros de cada subgénero incluyendo ejemplares con las bandas y álbumes, y para coronar, audiovisualmente una joya, men, esta información vale millones. Gran trabajo de todo el elenco.
Se agradece todo su esfuerzo.
I can't argue with any of this. You nailed it, especially the important album for each genre. I'd think, "Oh, nu metal. Korn's debut album better be the important one named." And it was. Everything I thought of, you called it. Also, excellent playing. Great video.
Did you not think Grunge was missing? No Nirvana
@@MattyB-ee
What else is missing is kawaii metalm
@@MattyB-ee Nirvana is not metal, it's grunge. Grunge is not a sub-genre of Metal.
The education is one thing, but putting together original tracks to showcase the evolution of styles across time is next f**king level.
Lmao all the songs he's playing are cover.He just changed them up to avoid copyrights.
Crazy that what Introduced me to metal was listening to System of a Down and Korn yet the genre is rejected by most metal bands. Time to accept all genres of metal.
It's OK everyone still loves people of Syndrome of a Down
@KingJason13 Yes
Nah, especially Metalcore and Djent is more like a joke than anything "serious".
@@redheadsg1 And yet Djent is one of the hardest to play for sure
@@redheadsg1 what does that even mean
I just wanted to say this is one of my favourite videos on RUclips, thanks for making it
Power Metal needs more love. Every player in the genre just has so much talent.
For me, the killer with most power metal bands is the singing. Most power metal bands have phenomenally talented instrumentalists and then just god awful vocalists. The few bands that have good vocalist are some of my all time favorites.
@@lukebortot7625 can you recommend some power metal bands that u like
@@killerpaja03 Sabaton
@@killerpaja03 Sabaton, Unleah the Archers, Beast in Black, Brothers of Metal.
nah not really. most of them have no song writing talent it's honestly difficult to tell one from another. that statement is only true for technical death metal to an extent.
Wow, now THIS is absolutely worthy to watch!
I would say other very important links you heavily missed are Post-Metal, Doom Metal, Drone and Stoner Metal. You can argue Blackgaze is also very important, but it could be lumped under Post-Metal.
Additionally Japanese metal has an important spot to fill
And technical death Metal, brutal death metal, progressive death metal, deathgrind, grindcore, melodic death metal and whatnot.
Blackgaze is way too sideliney to make a general list like this, there’s at least fifteen other genres that have had more shape and impact before that one in particular.
I definitely think Doom and Stoner get overlooked a lot by other metalheads. Which is shame considering all the great bands its given us like Cathedral, Candlemass, Kyuss, Boris, Church of Misery, Electirc Wizard, Bell Witch, Acid Bath, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, Bongripper, Weedeater, Bongzilla, Sleep, Monolord, etc. Especially since it seems to be going through a sort of underground revival right now.
@@TheAxeMixa better words have never been said
When Trash Metal came in the video my heart literally missed a beat, when hair metal came I got goosebumps all over my body but when Power Metal came I had tears falling down my cheeks.... This video is perfect!
