Metal Heads

What are metal heads?

They are often described as drunkards, fighter and satanic people because of their appearance and behavior. Metal Heads often wear band t-shirts and black attire. It is not really about what they were but it is more of a visual expression of the attitude they feel. This group of people are strongly opinionated about a wide range of subjects, like what differentiates them from trash-metal to what makes heavy metal music ‘TRUE METAL.
