10 Myths About Music Genre "METAL" are misguided by @ XtremeZine

So many misconceptions about the views and perceptions of the metal flow, and with it is a sufficient reason to make more people know about how they misjudged the flow of metal.
And here are 10 myths about the "Metal" and the truth is actually there, please note that this is not my personal opinion.

1. Just Can Shouts
Myth: vocal musician just screaming metal
If you like metal, you've probably heard someone say, "Well, do not biskah he sang it right?" It really annoys metalheads because reality becomes very difficult metal vocalist.
And although it seems like a simple, Metal vocals vary widely, from growling, shouting, screaming, yelling and everything in between. The next time someone says it's not a metal singer to sing, you can answer a simple, "Vocalist it just look different.

2. Not talented musicians
Myth: Metal does not need music to play Skill
Any professional will tell you that Metal and jazz are two of the most difficult genre to play.
And while the sound of thrash metal musicians hiding behind distortion, fast riffs and extreme percussion are almost always 100% original, without the effect of synthesized music.
But there is also a subgenre of music that tend to edit their digital music like metalcore, industrial and grind. And the other almost entirely pure.

3. Influence Bad For Kids
Myth: Metal music is bad for children
Many metal-oriented music to children and adolescents as a relaxing way to cope with stress than using other means available.
Although people may tell you that metal poison the minds of our children, keep in mind that people are generally very closed-minded and do not understand fully about Metal.

4. fascist
Myth: Metal musicians most fascist, racist or neo-Nazi has
While many musicians who say they believe in a particular racial or ethnic group is better or worse than others, and while some of them have a legitimate belief, it is the most common as part of the performance on stage.
A good example of this is former Gorgoroth vocalist Gaahl, who is not only gay, but also stated to have racist views, but he is not serious about these things and try not to express it openly.

5. flow Sexism
Myth: Metal is sexist
Although it seems that a lot of the metal, especially in the 80's, designed to belittle sex and women, now the problem is much reduced. And a lot of bands, especially in the genre of Black, Grind and Doom Metal avoid the topic of sex completely.

6. Identical to the Criminal
Myth: Metal promotes criminal activity such as murder
While some people in the metal community has been arrested for the crime and murder, only one case of a dominant, Varg Vikernes case. Most metal bands that have lyrics violent or disturbing images have revealed that their content is not to be taken seriously. Cannibal Corpse, especially, known for their lyrics, which often outlines the more gruesome depictions of murder, death and sexual fetishism.

7. Satanic cult
Myth: Metal promotes Satanism
The genre of music that has a lot of features themes and imagery demon called Black Metal, which comes from Venom's thrash album; Black Metal.
Although some of death metal and thrash metal, like Slayer, Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel use features Satanism, but very few black metal musicians really have confidence demons, and people who tend to try not to promote it.

8. Flow Anti-Religion
Myth: All Flow Metal Anti-Religion
In the majority opinion of the non-metalhead, band - metal band considers worthy hated religion (antipathy to religion) but that is not the case with the metal flow.
In most cases, the metal is not anti-religion in general, but often against Christianity or forms of Christianity (eg, band Dimmu Borgir, Kataklysm).
However, many metal artists who are religious, such as the American metalcore band As I Lay Dying, David Dramian of Disturbed, Indonesia Grindcore band "Skull", Nu Metal band Indonesia "Purgatory", and many more.

9. Flow Bar Bar
Myth: Metal musicians are uneducated freaks who can not construct a sentence
This is Another common perception. Most people looked at the lyrics and metal music was simple and stupid impressed.
In fact, musicians including musicians Metal is a very smart, very focused person who can write lyrics with deep meaning and music. For example, Bathory black metal band from many of their music from classical composers. And most metal lyrics are surprisingly literate.

10. Heavy Metal
Myth: The music is called "Heavy Metal"
We start with the easiest and most popular. Most people assume that the name of the music that came with screams loud and very distorted guitar is "Heavy Metal".
In fact, Metal Flow has hundreds of subgenres and "Heavy Metal" or almost not one of the sub-flow. Bands like Cream, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath paved the way for metal bands to create a unique sound. But while these bands can be called a homage to Heavy Metal, the majority regard as non-metalheads, especially the elderly and young girls, referring to all the heavy metal rock music. Just because they do not recognize the diversity of the musical genre.      

Top 10 Post-Hardcore Bands

Post-hardcore is a genre of music that developed from hardcore punk, itself an offshoot of the broader punk rock movement. Like post-punk, post-hardcore is a term for a broad constellation of groups who emerged from the hardcore punk scene, or took inspiration from hardcore, while concerning themselves with a wider degree of expression. The genre took shape in the mid- to late-1980s with releases from the Midwestern United States. These included bands on SST Records. and bands from Washington, D.C. such as Fugazi. (see the era's releases on Dischord Records, for example), as well as slightly different sounding groups such as Big Black and Jawbox that stuck closer to the noise rock roots of post-hardcore.

1980s

Post-hardcore is an offspring coming from hardcore punk,^[2] which had typically featured very fast tempos, loud volume and heavy bass levels.^[5]

By the mid-1980s, groups classified as hardcore, or with strong roots in the genre, began to experiment with the basic template. The initial outcropping of these groups typically recorded for SST Records^[6] (the Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Meat Puppets, Dinosaur Jr., and Gone), and emerged from the increasingly experimental tendencies of Black Flag and Greg Ginn's evolving musical tastes. Many of these groups also took inspiration from the '80s noise rock scene pioneered by Sonic Youth.^[4] Steve Albini's group Big Black, and subsequent projectsRapeman and Shellac are also associated with post-hardcore.^[4] Critic Steven Blush described Big Black as "an angst-ridden response to the rigid English post-punk of Gang of Four".^[7] Naked Raygun also made use of "oblique lyrics and stark post-punk melodies".^[7]

Later releases on Dischord Records also extended the post-hardcore style, most famously in the work of Fugazi,^[2][4] but also including bands such as Embrace, Rites of Spring, Nation of Ulysses, Jawbox, Shudder to Think, and Lungfish. Dischord groups also experimented with influences from soul, dub, post-punk, funk, jazz, and dance-punk. Math rock and to some degree, riot grrl were offshoots of this movement.

1990s

During the 90's a third iteration of post-hardcore took place with the work of musicians who had first come to prominence in the youth crewscene, most famously Fugazi, Unsane, Quicksand, On the Might of Princes,^[2][4] Drive Like Jehu, Unwound, Les Savy Fav, Refused, Hot Water Music, Cap'n Jazz, Texas Is the Reason and Helmet. The genre then experienced a stand by stage when most of the major bands in the scene disbanded.

It seemed that the post-hardcore style and its scene was gone for good. Nevertheless, some bands associated with art punk and alternative rock like Glassjaw, Idlewild and At the Drive-In^[4] who were influenced by many post-hardcore bands, took certain elements of the genre renewing it and avoiding what it seemed to be its imminent disappearance.

As a consequence of this, post-hardcore began to be listened by other groups of persons foreign to the underground scene. In other words, it passed to the mainstream or popular circuit.

 

2000s

In the late 1990s, new bands formed who popularized the style. These include Glassjaw, Thursday,^[8] Thrice,^[9]Finch,^[10] and Poison the Well.^[11] By 2003, post-hardcore had caught the attention of major labels includingIsland Records, who signed Thrice and Thursday, Atlantic Records, who signed Poison the Well, and Geffen Records, who had absorbed Finch from their former label Drive-Thru Records. Post-hardcore also began to do well in sales with Thrice's The Artist in the Ambulance and Thursday's War All the Time which charted #16^[12]and #7,^[13] respectively, on the Billboard 200 in 2003.

Around this time, a new wave of post-hardcore bands began to emerge onto the scene that incorporated morepop punk and alternative rock styles into their music. These bands include: The Used,^[14] Hawthorne Heights,^[15] Senses Fail,^[16] From First to Last^[17] and Emery^[18] in addition to Canadian post-hardcore bandsSilverstein^[19] and Alexisonfire.^[20] This group of post-hardcore bands gained mainstream recognition with the help of MTV and Warped Tour. The Used released some minor radio hits and later received gold certifications for their first two studio albums The Used and In Love and Death from the RIAA.^[21] Hawthorne Heights' debut album The Silence in Black and White was also certified gold.^[21]

Due to this wave's prominent use of screamed vocals, in addition to softer vocals, these bands are often described using the misnomer "screamo." According to Jim Farber of NY Daily News, the band Thursday used the term screamo, "as a goof to describe bands like [theirs], which play a louder version of what is known to music fans as 'emo'."^[22] Though it's derived from the same roots, screamo is an entirely different genre of music. Contrasting to post-hardcore, screamo is more aggressive and abrasive genre featuring songs that are almost entirely screamed over "deafeningly loud rocking noise" mixed with "suddenly quiet, melodic guitar lines."^[23] Jonathan Dee of The New York Times wrote that the term "tends to bring a scornful laugh from the bands themselves."^[24] Many bands of this era have defended that their music is not screamo including Silverstein,^[25] Thursday,^[22][26] The Hot Lies,^[27] The Used,^[28] and Alexisonfire.^[29]
