in the '90s.

 Metal
Meltdown
| "The death
certificate issued for metal in the mid-1990s.The
cause of death was listed as suspicious and
fingers were pointed at several likely
suspects." |
The
Beast is Alive and Well, Below Billboard's Radar
| "It turned
out that the rumors of metal's death were greatly
exaggerated; metal is alive and well, thriving as
a creative art form with an enthusiastic fan base
outside the U.S. mainstream market. Metal
flourishes throughout the rest of the world and
in the aptly named underground." |
The
Hydra-Headed Beast
| "Mapping
metal's myriad styles at the end of the of the
twentieth century is a messy task at best." |
The
Beast is Back
| "At the
century's end, despite or because of its radical
diversity, metal's demise seems even less likely
than it had been in the past. Beyond its densely
flowering underground and its global reach, metal
has recently erupted into the U.S. mainstream.
The beast is back and there is a variety of
reasons for its resurgence." |
