Most people can come to an agreement in regards to the beginning of heavy metal music that will place its roots stemming from blues and developing true “heavy metal” form in the loud rock of the late ’60s/early ’70s; however, there is actually much evidence that heavy metal got its start one hundred-plus years before that in the minds and music of classical composers. For anyone even slightly familiar with the great works of classical music, this may come as no surprise. Let’s face it, it’s no secret that Ludwig van Beethoven and Richard Wagner made “heavy” and “loud” their thing; but so did lots of other composers in somewhat less well-known pieces. Those works, and their heavy metal tendencies, are precisely what we’re going to be exploring here in today’s countdown.
Below we’ve got a list of the Top 10 Most Metal Classical Music Pieces of all-time. Highlighted here are some you may be familiar with, others you’ve likely never heard. All qualify, in one way or another, as “metal-as-shit!” so prepare to be rocked…(courtesy of earfarm.com):
