Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (born Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart; 27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) is among the most significant and enduring popular composers of European classical music. His enormous output includes works that are widely acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. Many of his works are part of the standard concert repertoire and are widely recognized as masterpieces of classical music.
Mozart’s music, like Haydn’s, stands as an archetypal example of the Classical style. His works spanned the period during which that style transformed from one exemplified by the style gallant to one that began to incorporate some of the contrapuntal complexities of the late Baroque, complexities against which the gallant style had been a reaction. Mozart’s own stylistic development closely paralleled the development of the classical style as a whole. In addition, he was a versatile composer and wrote in almost every major genre, including symphony, opera, the solo concerto, chamber music including string quartet and string quintet, and the piano sonata. While none of these genres were new, the piano concerto was almost single-handedly developed and popularized by Mozart. He also wrote a great deal of religious music, including masses; and he composed many dances, divertimenti, serenades, and other forms of light entertainment.

@Novskjj, with all respect to Morbid angel, but their compositions are really simple. They have progressive moments, but can't say they have the same intelligence of any Mozart composition. Just analyse a composition. With Morbid Angel there just isn't much to say besides pointing out the riffs and small progressive elements. Now take any Piano Concerto form Mozart. He follows a tonic system. He plays around with small thematic parts(I wrote an analysis about Mozart's 25th Piano Concerto, with a full analysis of just the first movement and all small thematic parts that Mozart used and adjusted at different parts of the composition). He modulates through different keys. The entire composition follows a form to give the composition an unity. The man was a genius. Nowadays there are composers like that too, but don't expect to find that in a band like Morbid Angel.

A lot of great metal is classically inspired. I don't think any metal artist thinks they're a better composer than the greats of classical. Still, I love metal, and I love Mozart. So I guess its the best of both worlds. :D

Novskij wrote:
"Metal is quite primitive compared with the stuff Mozart has composed. Esthetically you could say it is on a same level, but Mozart knew much better what he was doing and controlled the art much better than any metal composer. There are some bands getting there, tho. Diablo Swing Orchestra was really impressive. Therion's Secret of The Runes. Even Dimmu Borgir's mid-period albums have some impressive moments." - sorry but Gorguts and Morbid Angel are much stronger than the bands you mentioned, and they have classical influences, Morbid Ange's "Blessed are the sick" was dedicated to Mozart, and Gorguts guitarist and vocalist, luc lemay, composes orchestral works and is also influenced by many old composers.

"All the modern music genres can be tracked back to classical music." Eh? I was under the impression that most modern forms of American popular music could be traced back to African sources.
