In a stream of supernatural consciousness, the fusion between horror movies and the darker side of heavy rock came to fruition in the 1960s. In 1963, the band Earth renamed themselves Black Sabbath after seeing an advertisement for Mario Bava's film of the same name. Underground bands like Coven and Black Widow took things one step further by performing theatrical Black Masses at their shows.
The 1980s saw the dark union grow and spread its roots into popular culture with the rise of stadium rock bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, and the subsequent use of their music in horror films and on their soundtracks. This trend has not subsided through time as the music, and its stars, have become synonymous with the film genre. See if you can correctly match the rockers to the roles.
