A specific style of metal music with a gloomy atmosphere and slow-tempoed instrument playing. Many consider Candlemass' "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" to be one of the first doom metal albums.
Person #1 "Let's listen to Linkin Park in your car, yo!"
Person #2 "We'll listen to Candlemass, and if you interrupt the music at any time I will be forced to stop at Guitar Center and stab you in the eye with the headstock of a Jackson soloist model."

Get the doom metal mug.A subgenre of death metal that started in the late 80's and is composed of bands such as Morbid Angel, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, Resurrection, and so on.
Tampa is the most prevelant home to Florida Death Metal bands. Morbid Angel, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and Deicide are some of the most notable ones to live and record in Tampa. Morrisound Studios is where a great many classic death metal albums were recorded, like CC's Tomb of the Mutilated, Morbid Angel's Covenant, Obituary's Cause of Death, and even Brazilian thrashers Sepultura came to Tampa in 1991 to record Arise with producer Scott Burns, who also produced numerous death metal albums.
The style of Florida death metal is not easily defined, it varies from cannibal corpses blood and guts themes to deicides anti-christian ranting. But it is usually just straight forward and to the point, no fancy productions or studio wizardy with an emphasis on riffs and song structures. some bands are more techinical than others. Most of them use blast beats and especially double bass, vocals go from thrash yelling to low guttural growls to high shrieks.
Overall, death metal would not be the same without these bands. Florida swamp death metallers unite.

Get the Brutal Death Metal mug.A heavier form of rock and roll music, that is definately not for everybody. However, if you like music that is violent, heavy, and generally badass, I recommend going to your nearest record store and buying a Priest or Maiden album. If you like rock music, but wish it was heavier, you won't regret it, trust me.
There are many different types of metal. I'll list a few examples of each genre:

Get the metal mug.Originally innovated by the experimentation of Mick Gordon in the Wolfenstein and Killer Instinct franchises, the most commonly agreed upon point of inception was when he created the Soundtrack for DOOM 2016. This can be attributed to the fact that he was tasked to "Create Music like Nobody has ever heard before" when tasked with composing and developing sound design techniques.
Through what is considered by some to be a 'happy accident' and others a display of technical brilliance in terms of music production - the culmination of factors has lead to probably the most influential movements in Modern Metal. Post-release of DOOM Eternal, the popularity of both DOOM and it's soundtracks skyrocketed and many artists sought out to decode and replicate many of the sound design techniques used.
YouTuber and Composer Geoffrey Day saw a great deal of success in creating Video Game covers in the style of DOOM; with the term 'Argent Metal' originating from a YouTube Community post in which he polled his subscribers on what they thought this new genre should be called.
Stylistic wise, the genre is generally defined by the extreme meshing of Electronic Sound Design with the Writing of Modern Metal music. It is a common misconception that Guitars are the defining factor of this genre when really, any aggressively distorted set of frequencies (or Atonal non-frequencies)from a controllable sound source often suffices.

Get the Argent Metal mug.A metal Head is anyone who listens to, and loves metal music. Sub-genres are not a factor. Clothing is not a factor. Whether you hate everything is not a factor. Whether you just like the older metal bands, or the newer ones doesn't matter either. To be a fucking metal head, all you have to fucking do is love metal music. Thats fucking it.

Get the Metal Head mug.Speed Metal is not Thrash Metal. Many confuse the two genres. Speed Metal started in the late 70's with bands like Judas Priest and Riot. It's mainly a faster version of traditional heavy metal. while Thrash has a strong hardcore punk influence. I read somewhere someone was saying Megadeth is speed metal. Not True! Speed Metal and Thrash Metal are two completely different genres. While Thrash influenced the more extreme genres, Speed Metal is typically considered more traditional and was around for quite a few years before thrash.
