The type of sub-genre of rock that I choose for my last journal entry is power metal. For my views that are unfamiliar with this type of power metal form of music, it’s a style of heavy metal music combining characteristics of traditional metal with speed metal, and often within symphonic context. The sub-genre of power metal cultural origins originated in Germany during the time period of the early to mid 1980’s. Power metal it’s self is more upbeat than most metal genres in which taking heavy influence from heavy metal and speed metal. When listening to power metal you can hear that it is melodic and takes lots of energy to perform. Though the music is fast in tempo it is still understandable and has meaning.
Some instruments played in power metal are electric guitar, drums, and piano. All of the instruments have a strong and important sound when it comes to power mental music. Electric guitar is the front instrument of power metal. Some sources say, “Power metal is highly focused on the vocalist, with "clean" vocals being much more prevalent than the growling vocals often associated with death metal and black metal.” The drums in power metal give lots of volume and provide all elements of metal with the status of being music. A huge majority of power metal often expresses high-pitched vocals, melodic lead guitar, and a fast pace tempo.
Music is wonder and helps in life sometimes because it’s relatable for people living in today society. I hope you enjoyed my blog and can to be more diverse when it comes to music also. To conclude my last blog entry I would like to say thanks for taking the time to read my entries.
