What is Heavy Metal Music?

Heavy metal is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. The genre’s lyrics and performance styles are sometimes associated with aggression and machismo.

In 1968, three British groups, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple were founded. They were soon joined by other British groups such as Hawkwind, Thin Lizzy which followed their lead. In the early 1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre’s evolution by discarding much of its blues influence; Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands such as Saxon followed in a similar vein. American band Kiss’ debut album was released in 1974. Two years later, another American band Aerosmith released their debut album.

The development of heavy metal continued in the 1980s with bands such as Iron Maiden and Metallica.”
