All of the situations require different types of music. Co ordination of the music along with the scenes has a major role in making the complete scene hit. To provide such audio effects use of heavy metals is also done.

Horror metal is responsible for scenes which include firing of bullets, explosives and other metal concerned objects. It was originated in the 1980's and was occupied by several bands in different styles. The music has an amazing darkness by blending the punk rock and gothic audios with melancholic similes.
