Heavy metal, rock on! \m/ \m/


Heavy metal began between the years of 1968 and 1974. This genre of music was mostly influenced from Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin. Although this music to some may be classified as "Satan's" music, it the usage of loud distortidely tuned guitars, emphatic rhythms, dense bass and drum sounds, and vigorous vocals. Another band that came around was Judas Priest, most famous for the song Painkiller. But soon, the metal branched into different metals, going from the screaming of black metal, the growling from death metal to the "gruff" style of Motorhead or Metallica. One important aspect that came from metal is what is called a power chord on the guitar. And it is also said that only music that is metal is "sad and depressing" but it is a heavier and headbanging way to listne to music!
