Welcome, my brothers in metal!
It seems you like riddles. Well, I like metal. HEAVY METAL. Stay away with that light metal. (Random blistering drum solo)
Here's what we're doing. I've prepared a bit.ly address and some clues that might lead you to AWESOME BANDS (20 second of pure bass grove). Find out their names and take the letter indicated in brackets. Add them all up (no capitals) and you are well on your way of solving the MOST METAL RIDDLE EVER. (Screaming falsetto, followed by 2 minutes of wild shredding, then another drum solo, then 5 minutes of pounding metal)
Hint: It may happen to anything in the way of a trve brother of metal, like dragons, evil cultists, rappers and mom.

  1. It seems he copulates like an animal. Indeed, somebody needs to be somebody... OW! Dammit, I got stung! (3)

  2. Priests and werewolves and blood, oh my! And let's not talk about their ways of sanctification or resurrection... (3) or (6)

  3. Nobody can relate to slaying dragons, but the horrors of war are all too real. Be it death in the form of nearly unstopable war machines, the tale of taking nearly 200 miles within a single day or the victory over Berlin, the history of warfare will never again sound so metal. (6)

  4. Is that an alien on the drums? What kind of music are they playing? Halleluja! (3)

  5. Ragga metal punk hip-hop? Rocks like the dickens. (5) or (8)

  6. An organ of mineral, eh? Interesting concept. What would happen if you, say, removed the plug? Ah. Death. Of course. Well, that surely places my sexual organs firmly on the wall. (4)

  7. Uh oh. Creppy bloody girl that requires my very essence? At least she said please... but let's try something else. Ah, christmas in Budapest. Evil puppet master? Blood again, enabling locomotion? Dammit! Different one. Spirits inhabiting a house? Ah, tea, that's pleasant. Wait, tea with blood? And are we quite done with the falsetto, already? (5)

Bah, I'm not well educated in the metal arts. I'm pretty sure I know one of those though and they're pretty awesome indeed. Looking forward to listening to the rest when this is over. :D

EDIT: Oh dear, heavy metal? I... I'm torn. As much as I want to solve this puzzle, I REALLY REALLY hate that genre of music...

Metal is forever. I love you with a true brotherly metalhead love, man.

I got only half, but got it instantly. Still love the puzzle, more metal to the masses!

Are there only Heavy Metal bands, btw? No Death or Thrash and stuff?

In order I would classify it as Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Power Metal, Heavy Metal, "Ragga metal punk hip-hop", Heavy Metal and.... uh... hm. I'd call the last one Heavy Metal, too.

I listen to metal almost solely, but I don't get any of these even after reading them a couple times.

But hey metal is such a huge genre with so many subgenres and bands that it's possible I've never even heard of these bands, and it's also possible you wouldn't recognize anything on my ipod. But hey respect to a fellow metalhead anyways :)

I can't make anything out of this, and I was something of a metalhead ten years ago.

Now I got here: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_27/b3991401.htm
I guess I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. :-)

EDIT: Also, here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/firefox-3-5-arrives/

EDIT 2: And here: http://cgi.ebay.com/natural-1-0ct-white-diamond-14kt-solid-white-gold-ring_W0QQitemZ180385685996QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101 (The link leading to this even made sense, and it did fit within the theme (though it was in German). :-) And I probably wouldn't say no to a diamond ring. Too bad the listing's been already removed. :-))

I got to http://www.grovo.com/facebook-timeline?utm_source=nutmeg-timeline and some probably unrelated article about a metal band at this step. Did you get to the next one already?

same here, I think I've got a couple but can't be sure. I was just wondering: are your hints directed at a specific album or the whole discography?

c) All of the above. Some refer to one or more songs, to their specific style or to specific albums.

It was brought to my attention that I am an idiot. I have corrected the typo using only the most high-tech methods available. This will, hopefully, end the confusion.
EDIT: Or not. Apparently that doesn't work. DEAL WITH THE TYPO.
