I'm not sure if the origins are in heavy metal, but
some goa is kinda like "Techno meets Slayer". I had
some Dark Soho tracks that I got off Napster, and
there's some tracks where the song totally breaks into
a shearing guitar riff that's reminiscent of old
Slayer songs. I spent most of High School and a part
of college listening to heavy/death metal, so I know a
rippin' guitar riff when I hear one (I never thought
I'd say that on this list ;) I actually had to remove
the tracks from my computer so Winamp wouldn't shuffle
play them because they were sort of annoying to listen
to. My heavy metal years are over...
But there is goa that sounds more like techno, with
a "trippiness" flavor. Goa does have some diversity,
like most other genres (except today's excuse for
"trance").
