The third world element is what really blows my mind. It's a bit amazing that some Brazilians, in the 1980s, were developing (and playing!) a rather innovative style of metal, together with some Americans, Norwegians, and Australians :p

I'm not saying there are no black musicians who influenced metal. Phrases like "largely defined by" is not the same as "exclusively defined by". The phrase "not as much part of their musical heritage" is not the same as "not part of their musical heritage".
I'm talking about a very general trend and I know it's there and I think you know as well.
