Metallica are well-known for being strongly against file sharing. There was even a big PR fiasco a while back where they sued a number of their fans over it. So I'm sure they're pro-DRM. (I'm more a Megadeth kinda guy, anyway :P ) But yea, it's mostly just whatever mainstream pop/rock the labels (mainly Sony) are heavily pushing that get the DRM. Heavy metal is sort of non-mainstream almost by definition.
