The Mythology of Metal 2.0

NOTICE: Many of you were fans of my old mythology of metal. Truth be told, I wrote those years ago when I first got into metal. It's been a long time, and I feel like it's time I revised it to fit my current knowledge of the holy music known as Heavy Metal. Enjoy fellow headbangers!
