The world of metal music has become one of the most diverse genres in modern music, proving over the years the capacity to continuously expand its audience with its repeated revivals and developments. The beauty of metal music is that it offers a countless number of subgenres, each embodying different characteristics that appeal to the tastes of many different listeners.
