The Future of Metal Music

Rumors abound. The world decaying more rapidly, spawning a growing, pronounced musical reaction by the populous.

Could our thrashing reaction to a hell doomed world be twisted and packaged to suit the tastes of former pop-loving radio freaks?

It could.

You can only put so many "fives on it." The truth claws to shine as the satanic horns of metal slowly make their way from the underground, to the sickening light of reality.

Many do not want to see this transformation, preferring metal to stay sub-strata - and with good reason. Pushing the cackling melodies of metal to the surface come with dire risks, such as corruption by a system of music executives and investors whose hands are dirtier than the music they abhor.

They could try to make elevator music out of Deicide. They've almost nearly corrupted one of the fathers of metal, Ozzy Osbourne, yet somehow he has managed to keep at least one foot in Hell. His horns might have a little shine to them but they still sit squarely atop his head.

Some edgy Alternative bands pass as metal these days but there's not much harm in that. True metal kids grow out of candy metal and usually settle into harder fare.

Corporate music executives and mainstream media have not yet realized the boiling power of metal. Ivy League sociologists do not understand yet how metal will be the future of societies reaction to a world rattling on the edge of the end . . .

The harder society gets, the harder becomes mainstream music. Although rap has a death grip on millions of people worldwide, it's control must wane as it has not enough grit to satisfy a world growing hungrier to react.

Even country music has shown a rockish aggression this past decade, enough to cause Hank Snow to blush.

Proving once again the United States is not the leader in everything musical, it does not even make MetalMusic.com's top three list for heaviest metal countries. Stay tuned for the names of those three countries!

In the U.S. truly hard metal is to naked to get popular radio play. You won't hear "Suicide Sacrifice" on any Fox radio affiliate. In fact, you rarely will hear Mordid Angel, although once in awhile a Dee Jay will
risk getting fired and spin a Morbid tune.

As the gates of Hell open a little wider, so will metal music. Enjoy the roomy subterranean while you can. In the distant future you might hear Celtic Frost crooning through the sound system at McDonald's.
Hold the mustard , extra blood.
