Hello Everybody,
me is Mister Mätel and I..m a Matroschka. (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroschka) I was born at the graffiti project "Nextwall" ( www.nextwall.de ) by Desur who did a graffiti wall with Daim, Seak, Tasek and Daddy Cool for JVMnext in Hamburg. I represent the "Heavy Metal" culture within the web2.0 universe including music, lifestyle and communities.
You..re very welcome to inspire me for blog issues, band recensions and to be my friend, of course : )
For anyybody, who doesn..t understand what the holy fugg I..m talkin.. about, here is what you find on wiki:
" Heavy metal is a genre of rock music that developed between 1968 and 1974. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion and fast guitar solos. Allmusic declares, "Of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality."
Heavy metal has long had a worldwide following of fans known as "metalheads" or "headbangers". Although early heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath attracted large audiences, they were critically reviled at the time, a status common throughout the history of the genre. As the original wave of heavy metal bands began to wane, the late 1970s brought the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, which stripped away much of the music's blues influence and fused it with a punk rock sensibility.
Heavy metal became broadly popular during the 1980s, when many now-widespread subgenres first evolved. Variations more aggressive and extreme than metal music of the past were mostly restricted to an underground audience; others, including glam metal and, to a lesser extent, thrash metal went on to mainstream commercial success. In recent years, new styles such as nu metal have further expanded the definition of the genre. "
And this clearly is not everything to say about the one true guitar religion. . . !
