rigidity of heavy metal. Songs are usually complex. De-emphasizes melody in order to incorperate intense, driving rhythms. Music

or snarled, though sometimes melodic.

Speed metal: Crosses British heavy metal with hardcore
punk. Extremely fast, abrasive and technically demanding with a do-it-yourself attitude.
