The metal is still going on its own way, breaking into subgenres, melding sounds, creating unique albums, while still respecting its past. In a way, we can say that metal is a shapeshifting monster of sound, while remaining the same in essence. Riffs, compositions, emotions, from tragedy to feel good epicness.
