When a metal head reaches a state of pure metal ecstasy they make the claw with their hand and raise it up.
The true metal claw can be likened with holding an imaginary chalice filled with somthing metal....like sacrificial blood or beer.
Singers also use this hand gesture when feeling extra metal, godlike or just an extreme metal surge.
This is not exclusive to a live show but can also be done while driving and/or listening to ones favorite cassette tape.
Not to be confused with either the devil horns hand sign as these are 2 distinct gestures OR the "mall claw" which is a 1980s hairstyle achieved with heat and Aqua-net hairspray.
