Are we seeing the revitalization of conservative civilization all over the world has been a massive backlash against globalization, its leftist leadership, and its anti-cultural liberal values, and it's just the beginning.

The music is dissonant, turbulent, thunderous, and most especially loud.

But it may be one of the most significant indications that the secular modern world is dying.

I'm talking of course about that music genre called Heavy Metal.

As it's so often associated with drugs, sex, and satanic themes, heavy metals often derided and dismissed by conservatives as nothing more than cultural rot, indeed the epitome of western civilization's demise.

And yet there's a profoundly nationalist and traditionalist sentiment that stalks the music of Heavy Metal, one that explicitly rejects the secularity of modernity on behalf of a faithful commitment to culture, nation, religion, and tradition.

Though rather uncertain, the origin of the term Heavy Metal appears to go back to the Toronto lead singer John Kay of the band Steppenwolf, who's credited as the first person to use the term in the classic 1968 song, Born to Be Wild.

Since then the term was thought to adequately describe the kind of loud, grinding machine-like pounding of drums and electric guitars combined with the oftentimes dramatic commanding and yes piercing vocals.

However, ironically, the instrumental timbre of Heavy Metal is actually quite a kin to the timbre of a string orchestra as aptly demonstrated by the Finnish band called Apocalyptica, which is made a career of transcribing heavy metal music for cello ensemble.

As such, Heavy Metal, unlike blues, rock and roll or pop music, resembles symphonic sounds, which inescapably draws it to the traditionalist world of classical music.

Listen to the technique of Swedish guitarist Inve Maumski and how it resembles the extraordinary virtuosity of a solo violin.

And it's not only the guitar that's drawn towards this traditionalist classical expression, the Finnish band Nightwish utilizes highly operatic vocals for their own version of what's called symphonic metal.

As it turns out, the traditionalism that stalks Heavy Metal renders the music a highly preservative.

Yes, indeed, conservative conduit for the foundations of western civilization.

Perhaps no band better exemplifies this commitment to the literature and history of western civilization than the British band Iron Maiden.

Here's a sampling of their song titles, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, a poem by Samuel Taylor Colrich, the flight of Icarus, Alexander the Great, aces high about the battle of Britain which is introduced with a recorded snippet from Winston Churchill's never surrender speech.

And the trooper, the song we're hearing right now, which is Maiden's version of the charge of the Leipzigade, the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

As evident particularly in Europe, Heavy Metal provides a powerful platform for the expression of pre-modern and nationalistic sensibilities.

Take for example the English Heavy Metal band Saxon who songs express a longing for the splendors of Christendom.
