“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

Metal sam is the natural treasure of the horsham alternative scene. known about west sussex for his long hair, funny walk, and leather jacket, he is typically recognised striding about horsham market in the early hours of the day and congregating with his strange friends at local market stalls. Be careful not to engage in conversations with metal sam as he will quickly change the conversation to how many cds are in his bag at that current time, and if you can name 3 songs from whatever band t-shirt you are wearing.
“Oh god, here comes metal sam. Probably no good CDs in the british heart foundation then. May as well go home”
