What heavy metal band singssmokescreen?

There's a number of bands with songs by this name, both amongst true Metal bands, non-Metal bands which the media likes to try passing off as Metal, and non-Metal bands which don't try to be Metal bands. From the former category, the song by Pentagram from their First Daze Here Too compilation and the one by Exit Wounds from their Return Fire EP are the ones which would seem the most likely from that list, although there are tracks by that name by Dream Smashers Inc., Embittered, Jaww, Omegalord, Megascavenger, Play War, and Throne.Other tracks by that name from non-Metal bands have been performed by Flying Blind, Willis, Ted Nugent, Monroe Michael, Citizen King, Laura Branigan, Rico, and several other. The most famous of those would probably be either the one by Ted Nugent, or the one by Flying Blind, which was featured on the soundtrack to the movie, American Pie 2.

Why do you need metal bands when you are getting braces does everyone need them?

You need metal bands because you have an overbite. The metal bands have hooks on them. You put rubber bands on each of the hooks (they are on the top and the bottom) and then it pulls your teeth into the right shape. Btw don't worry it does't hurt when they put the metal bands on. Not everyone needs them because not everyone has an overbite.

What is the specific difference between death metal and doom metal?

The differences are as apparent as night and day. Doom Metal is one of two genres derived directly from Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath, Pentagram (US), Saint Vitus, Cirith Ungol, Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Reverend Bizarre, Solstice.. those are examples of what Doom Metal really is. In the 90s, it became popular to tag anything which happened to be played slower than Megadeth as Doom Metal, leading to the term "nu-doom" being coined by purists to refer to bands which were labeled as Doom Metal, but did not share any common origins with true Doom Metal bands (e.g., My Dying Bride, Anathema, Katatonia, Sunn o))), et. al). Death Metal is derived from Thrash, starting with bands such as Possessed, who essentially strove to create a more raw form of Thrash Metal. In the late 80s and early 90s, Death Metal bands moved away from the Thrash/Death sound, taking influence from the Crust Punk, Powerviolence, and Grindcore bands of the era in order to create an even more basic, raw sound.
