Battle metal
'''Battle metal''' is the name of two similar, but distinct forms of [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] [[music]]. 

By one definition, battle metal is a fusion of [[melodic death metal]] and [[Power Metal]]. The guitar parts are reminiscent of [[Iron Maiden (band)|Iron Maiden]]'s harmonising, rythmically complex duets, which took on a new meaning with bands like [[Carcass]], [[In Flames]], [[Arch Enemy]], [[At The Gates]], and [[Dark Tranquillity]]. The vocals and song arr(contracted; show full)minent in the [[Viking metal]] sub-genre, and [[Waylander (band)|Waylander]] are pioneers of three sub-genres of black metal: this one, [[folk metal]] and [[Celtic Metal]]. Other [[heavy metal music|metal]] bands have produced songs that fit the battle metal genre; the [[power metal]] band [[Thy Majestie]] is an example. [[Turisas]] is considered to be the band who gave the [[genre]] its name by mixing all the previously mentioned styles and much more into one on their album "Battle Metal" (2004)
