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/
