Gimme Danger (2016)
Early metal came from a mix of elements — proto-punk, dark progressive, and heavy rock — fused with soundtrack-style epic song structures, which along with the phrasal riffs that went along with power chords, made a new type of music that escaped the vocal-driven harmony-based tedium of Boomer rock.
