Proper Metal

“Proper Metal” is:

A category of Heavy Metal music for bands who have taken inspiration from The Metal Gods such as Judas Priest, Saxon, Iron Maiden, and Accept.

The Proper Metal sound is personified by screaming guitars with face melting solos, thunderous drums and pounding basslines.

Proper metal lyrics often deal with dark or serious subjects, like war, rebellion, and the occult. They can also be fantastical or explore mythology and history.

The Proper Metal look comprises the following:

Leather (black or white)
Other proper metal band T shirts
Studs & bullet belts
Long hair (where possible)
Flying V guitars

Very large drum kits

Proper Metallers NEVER:
Mime on stage
Pretend to play
Use backing tracks
*Play stadiums

*unless invited by The Metal Gods

Proper Metal is nothing to do with grunge

super metal

Metal that actually has an explosive snare drum and makes more use of the toms to create a more climactic and cinematic metal experience. It generally wouldn't drop below C standard tuning and would make great use of the voice to be dynamic and add vocal expression that enhances, mimics, and complements the guitar work.

Josh: Woah, is that some new Thrash Metal or Power Metal?
John: No! It's Super Metal! \m/
