Hey man.. there is a marked difference between the genres of "heavy metal" and those that have screaming, double bass and blast beats, and non standard time signatures.
heavy metal would encompass any music with driving, four over four drum beats, soaring, strictly melodic vocals, and rock-esque guitar licks. this music is more similar to classic rock than what most people nowadays would consider metal, at least from a younger musician's perspective.
my advice to you to end all your problems would be to visit pandora dotcom and type in a band that you like.
see what magic ensues!
