Metal Music Quiz

A metal quiz is won by the ear that tells a riff from a breakdown and a subgenre from a growl. The family tree is huge: Black Sabbath's doom, Metallica's thrash gallop, the hair-metal gloss of the 80s and the rap-metal crossover Linkin Park pushed into the 2000s all sit in one game. Half the challenge is placing the era, since a down-tuned riff can sound at home in early Sabbath or 2000s nu-metal. Guess the metal song from the opening riff, drop it in its subgenre, and see whether the deep cuts push your score past the anthems. Press play and find out how heavy you really are.

Za najbardziej oczywistymi refrenami kryją się decyzje producenckie, teledyski i nawyki słuchaczy, które czynią z tych utworów świetny materiał na quiz.

✦Black Sabbath's self-titled 1970 debut is widely cited as the first true heavy metal album, and its tritone title-track riff is one of the fastest IDs in any metal quiz.
✦Metallica's 1991 'Black Album' is the best-selling album of the SoundScan era in the US, which makes its riffs near-guaranteed anthems in any metal round.
✦Linkin Park's 'Hybrid Theory' (2000) is one of the best-selling rock debut albums ever and pushed nu-metal into the mainstream.
✦Judas Priest's leather-and-studs look, adopted in the late 1970s, became the visual uniform of heavy metal worldwide.
✦Down-tuned guitars are the metal-quiz trap: the same low riff can sound at home in 1970s doom or 2000s nu-metal, so the era is often harder to place than the band.

Często zadawane pytania

How does the metal music quiz work?

Songtrivia plays a short clip of a metal track and you name it before the clip ends. Guess the song and answer trivia from 70s doom to 2000s nu-metal.

Which metal bands come up the most?

Black Sabbath, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC and Linkin Park are among the most played on Songtrivia.

What's the difference between metal and rock?

Metal grew out of hard rock but pushes it further: heavier distortion, faster riffs, darker themes and more aggressive vocals. Songtrivia keeps a separate rock quiz for the lighter side.

Is nu-metal included?

Yes. The rap-metal of the early 2000s, led by Linkin Park, sits alongside classic heavy metal and thrash in the quiz.

How hard is the metal quiz?

The anthems are easy points; the traps are the down-tuned riffs, where the era is harder to place than the band, and the subgenre boundaries.

Is the metal quiz free?

Yes. Every metal quiz is free to play, with no signup and no Spotify account needed.
