Introduction
This web text is about the community of heavy metal music and all the aspects of it. Heavy metal is a widely known genre of music. But it has come a long way since it first appeared. Like the Catholic Church, heavy metal music broke off from the mainstream of rock music a branched into many subgroups of heavy metal. The community has many of its own traditions and cultural practices like gesture and fashion. The instruments each have an important role in the making of the music. I interviewed two of my friends who are a part of this community. They are Austin Foreman and Chris Meadows. They both play guitar and are extremely into their music thus into the community.
