Heavymetal is a form of music characterised by aggressive, driving rhythms and highly amplified distorted guitars, generally with grandiose lyrics and virtuosic instrumentation.
Whereas a painting is experienced visually, a symphony experienced audibly, a heavymetal band's "image" and the common theme that binds all their music is expressed in the artwork on the album, the set of the stage, the tone of the lyrics, in addition to the sound of the music.
Ultimately, "pure" heavymetal would position itself at the periphery of pop culture, never quite at centre, and metal denizens contend that the move towards the centre was a commercialism that compromised both the artistic integrity of the form and the opportunity for messages to be taken seriously.
There are also very close similarities to doom metal, but most aficionados consider the two genres distinct.
The genre name is derived from the notion that the artists and audience for this kind of music are stoners (frequent users of marijuana) although the term is more in reference to the style of the music itself rather than the non-musical hobbies of band members and fans.
Stoner metal is best known by its commonly stripped down production, use of psychedelic guitar effects, and deep 70's rock influence from groups like Black Sabbath.
