Here is the synopsis for “Brutal Legend”:
From the mind of Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions comes “Brütal Legend”: a third-person action game rich in combat, imagery and storytelling that delivers lighter-flicking fun sure to melt your face clean off.
“Brütal Legend” tells the tale Eddie Riggs: the ultimate roadie. The “roadie’s roadie,” Eddie is the first person anyone calls when they need guitars tuned or stages rigged. With a love for hot rods and a photographic memory for every heavy metal album cover (and the lyrics those albums contained committed to memory), Eddie has always felt out of place (like he should have been born earlier when the music was real).
One night, a stage accident knocks Eddie unconscious. With his blood dripping into the belt buckle he wears (a gift from his father), his blood quenches an ancient thirst. This sucks him into a world that looks very strange yet oddly familiar. It’s a world where every heavy metal album cover and lyric Eddie knows has come to life.
It’s a world where the evil emperor Doviculus and his demon army, The Tainted Coil, have enslaved the last remaining humans. Led by Lars Halford alongside his sister, Lita, and the mysterious Ophelia, the human resistance is far from helpless.
However, what they lack is someone to bring them all together – someone who can organize them and lead them into battle. What they need is a roadie. Under Eddie’s command, this barbaric force of hot rods, Marshall stacks, leather and chrome will bring this ancient world into the age of metal.

wow.
The Passion
Heavy Metal guys (& gals) are nothing if not passionate about their music. They play with their whole bodies. In the particular example of Metallica, their songs are almost symphonic & really are quite beautiful. Granted, some heavy metal bands are noise, but that can be said for any genre of music.

heavy metal
I like the fact that you can get out any emotion, you can dance crazy happy, be super angst, get out anger and sadness. It cures all!
i like heavy metal because...
people put their soul into it just like black sabbath.
What you like or dislike about heavy metal?
a very interesting way of expressing music in other forms….most are ok but some are very good….
Heavy Metal
I like the way the lyrics are ALWAYS fearless. The topics explored in Metal are dark and subversive, however, they are also confronting social issues that most entertainment strays away from.
Love Heavy Metal
What I love about heavy metal is the whole way that it comes off as REAL and authentic. The musicians are not phony and what they express through their music is authentic! It literally rocks people’s world!
