Heavy Metal Music for
film and television
Heavy Metal music. That stands for power, energy, velocity, danger and aggression – just
to name a few.
In film, television and commercial spots hard and heavy music has usually found its bed in
action driven scenes such as car chases, racing, extreme sports or fighting. More than just
being fast and furious Heavy Metal can also, as its name predicts, have a big and weighty
character making such music an ideal choice for moving pictures showing all kinds of
machinery and other industrial behemoths.
Another feature of Heavy Metal is intimidation or even terror – at least for the rather
squeamish. Ever since the 1980s we know that screeching guitars and pounding drums
have always felt ‘great’ (rather than comfortable) in horror movies.
The use of Heavy Metal music in film and television can be broadly based if desired. No
other genre probably demonstrates as much brute force caused by overdriven guitars and
either hard hitting or driving drums. Time to reconsider that electronic beat during that
motorcycle stunt…
