What is Heavy Metal?

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, psychedelic rock, and acid 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 1970, four British rock bands released debut albums that are now considered to be seminal works in the history of heavy metal: Black Sabbath’s _Paranoid_, Led Zeppelin’s _Led Zeppelin IV_, Deep Purple’s _In Rock_, and Uriah Heep’s _Very ‘Eavy… Very ‘Umble_. These bands were soon followed by many other pioneers of the genre – including Judas Priest, Kiss, Queen, Motörhead, Van Halen,Accept , and Iron Maiden – who built on the foundation laid by their predecessors to create the sound and style that would come to define heavy metal.

While there are many different subgenres of heavy metal – including speed metal, thrash metal, death metal, black metal, power metal ,and doom metal – they all share a common ancestor in the original form of the genre that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The History of Heavy Metal

The term “heavy metal” was first used to describe a style of rock music in the early 1970s. Heavy metal is a type of rock that is characterized by aggressive, driving rhythms and intense guitars. The sound of heavy metal is often times described as “thick” or “heavy”. Heavy metal bands usually have one or two guitarists who play loud, distorted guitars. The drums and bass are also usually quite loud and aggressive.

Heavy metal lyrics often deal with dark and/or offensive subject matter. Some people believe that heavy metal music is evil because of its dark lyrics and aggressive sound. However, many heavy metal fans believe that the music is actually quite positive and uplifting.

Heavy metal has often been accused of causing violence and promoting Satanism and other dangerous behaviors. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims. In fact, many studies have shown that listening to heavy metal can actually reduce stress and promote positive emotional states.

Despite its controversial reputation, heavy metal music has remained popular for over four decades. There are millions of heavy metal fans around the world who enjoy listening to this type of music.

In the other corner, we have the challenger, Megadeth! Also from Los Angeles, these thrash metal titans are looking to take home the title with their own brand of shredding guitars and pounding drums. Who will emerge victorious?

Both bands have been through a lot in recent years. Metallica was dealt a devastating blow when founding member Cliff Burton died in a bus accident while on tour in 1986. Despite this tragedy, the band soldiered on, releasing their best-selling album …And Justice for All in 1988. Megadeth also had to overcome tragedy when guitarist Jeff Young was fired from the band in 1989 due to substance abuse issues. Once again, the band rebuilt and released their fourth studio album Rust in Peace in 1990 to critical acclaim.
