Most Metal Classical Piece (Patreon)

The most metal classical piece of all time is widely considered to be Gustav Holst's "Mars The Bringer Of War." 

Influencing Black Sabbath, Diamond Head, Metallica, Frank Zappa and countless other metal acts both directly and indirectly. "Am I Evil" originally by Diamond Head, draws from Holst's "Mars The Bringer Of War" chord progression. Metallica liked it so much, they covered it some time later. 

I've included the main theme in tab from "Mars The Bringer Of War" below. The parallel 5th movements Holst used are now standard procedure in metal and rock music. It's an extremely power and forward thinking piece of music that blows my mind every time I hear it. 

Muhahahaha 🎸😈

As a bonus, there's also metal selections from Stravinsky, Liszt and Wagner in the tab
