Research into music genre
Metal:
A number of heavy metal genres have developed since the emergence of heavy metal(often shortened to metal) during the late 1960s and early 1970s. At times heavy metal genres may overlap or are difficult to distinguish, but they can be identified by a number of traits. They may differ in terms of: instrumentation, tempo, song structure, vocal style, lyrics, guitar playing style, drumming style, and so on. These were started by bands such as Cream (Eric Clapton), Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster and Rush.
Genres of metal include:
Progressive metal is (sometimes known as prog metal) is a fusion genre melding heavy metal and progressive rock that combines the loud "aggression"[3] and amplified guitar-driven sound of the former with the more experimental, cerebral or "pseudo-classical" compositions of the latter.These include:

One
"One" was the first Metallica song for which a music video was created. The music video, directed by Bill Pope and Michael Salomon, debuted on MTV on January 20, 1989. The video, shot in Long Beach, California, is almost entirely in black and white, and features the band performing the song in a warehouse. It features dialogue and several scenes from the 1971 film adaptation of Johnny Got His Gun. Timothy Bottoms can be seen starring as Joe Bonham, the main character in the novel (written by Dalton Trumbo and published in September 1939; the basis for the 1971 film).
Three versions of the "One" music video were made; the first (the longest, album version) contained scenes of both the band and scenes from the movie. The second was simply a shortened version of the first, and the third, often known as the "jammin' version", lacked scenes from the movie (the song and video fades at the last bridge in the third version).
Like many other music videos from Metallica, "One" puts great emphasis on the performances of the band members as musicians, with many shots of James, Jason and Kirk's hands picking and fretting. The video features the band members in a typical early Metallica fashion: playing (as if in rehearsal) in some sort of warehouse, in tight formation around Lars' drum kit, and dressed in casual street clothes and with long untamed hair.
Vicarious
The DVD released on December 18, 2007 contains an extended version of the much-delayed video counterpart for the song.[6]The video is completely made through use of CGI, making it Tool's second full CGI video, as opposed to stop-motion animation, which the band has used in their past videos.
The video was co-directed by guitarist Adam Jones and artist Alex Grey and also features creative input from Chet Zar. Also included on the DVD are short documentaries on the making of the video and on Jones's previous work in film and television, and commentaries on the video from comedian David Cross.
Judith
The music video for Judith was directed by David Fincher, the director of Fight Club, Se7en, and music videos for Aerosmith, Madonna, and The Wallflowers.[5] The video consists of the band performing in a large, empty studio with many of Fincher's signature cinematic tricks employed (dark smoky lighting, obscuring of faces, extensive film scratching and frame manipulation). All members are shown performing their instruments in the video. At the end of the first chorus and the beginning of the second verse, in which the bass drops out, for a drum and lead guitar-only section, bassist Paz Lenchantin seen putting her hair in a bun. However, she could not do it fast enough in real time during the filming, and consequently the section was slightly sped up for the filmed action to fit the space within the song. In an interview with Sook-Yin Lee, a former MuchMusic VJ, Howerdel revealed that the band originally intended for the video to have a storyline but, due to time restraints, were unable to do so.
Anima
Adam Jones directed the video for "Ænema" which features stop-motion animation with art design by Cam de Leon. The video revolves around a humanoid figure with alien-like features. Throughout the video the character ventures through an aquatic world. A hose-like organ (resembling an umbilical cord) which squirts out water protrudes from its abdomen and fills the room in which the figure stands. Towards the end of the video a human character wearing business attire tosses the figure in a water-filled box.
