Heavy metal is a mythical genre of heroes, outlaws, ominous gods, grotesques, and monsters. It is a proud world of intense battles with chaos and confrontation with modern alienation. Its visual elements draw upon the horror story or film, suggesting chaos and disruption. This study of myth and metal is an attempt to approach heavy metal primarily from a mythological and literary perspective.
